Preparing for shipment thread

engelke2010 said:
I'm in the PTS boat, but nothing in My Profile or UPS/FedEx. I'm not nervous or even impatient. I'm thinking that my phone is in the US already, probably in California (I'm in Oregon). If I don't see any movement by Tuesday, then my mood might change a bit.

My guess is that the phones could be staged somewhere in California, if possible. At the UPS hub I work at in Oregon, we process volume from Oregon (obviously), Washington, California, and Idaho (as well as Canada, and probably a few other states I'm missing). Just a theory/guess/whatever, but the phones could be staged in California and be Next Day Air'ed out to the aforementioned states. This could also apply to other regions in the U.S. as well. Again, I could be totally wrong; only been there 10 months lol.

Yeh no.

Doesn't work like that. They're all (every single one) coming from China so there would be shipping details/tracking if they moved. There is no shipping a huge lot to the US and then get labels from there. They get labels in China.

Incorrect. Two years ago my launch day phone originated near Los Angeles, not China. They do indeed bulk ship some of them from China to the US, and then break them out for individual shipments here.

Yes. She got tracking info 12 hours before she received her iPhone 6 in Utah. My 6 Plus, on the other hand, shipped from China.

So then it's very possible that is the reason myself (in Arizona) and others are sitting in the processing stage...

Which hub do you work at? I don't suppose it's the Tualatin one, is it? If my phone IS coming via UPS, will I be able to (using UPS My Choice) pick it up that morning and not wait for it to be delivered at my place?

I claim prior publication on that (like yesterday). Of course, someone else will probably trump my publication date, and then someone will trump them and...

But hey, if there is a Nobel Prize involved, I'm fighting for my share.
