UPS has been coming to my house for the last 3 business days! They came twice on Friday. Can you imagine the torture I have gone through? Oh and I have another scheduled UPS delivery tomorrow and Wednesday. This week will be hell.
 
Its been nice that I've been too distracted by drug calculations to realize that I still don't have my phone in my hands. Glad this will last all week, well not really, but i'll take it. :p
 
im no math person.... but if a router pkg only weighs 1.4 lb but yet ups is saying 3.4.... were the hell is 2lbs coming from??I can think of maybe 1lb of it that is added but not 2lbs...
 
Nobody yet has been able to explain how the phones on these Anchorage to Louisville flights are being prioritized once they get offloaded. Are they already assigned as soon as they leave the factory to a carrier and individual, or do they do that in Louisville? The Execs office told me that they use a third party for fulfillment, which might explain the major F up that we have all experienced.
 
I think because they're scanned all origin in Louisville that they get assigned when they hit there then depart for everyone. But I'm not shipping expert so not sure. I haven't seen anyone's labels that already say like alaska or china etc, always Louisville.

I think they do that in louisville. I only say this because if they were to be assigned as soon as they left the factory, we would have the tracking numbers form china. Ex: people who ordered from Apple. I think the third party fulfills them as UPS scans them in, but when they arrive in louisville they're already divided up by carrier.


That's my guess at least.

Well thats as far as UPS tracking is concerned. Like each allotment could be already labeled for just TMO, or each phone already assigned to a person as they come in. Then UPS assigns tracking info and ships them out. I'm wondering how and when they are fulfilled to us because it can't be as simple as a whole mass of them showing up in Louisville, then them showing up in our hands the next day.

Yeah I would assume that would make more sense. I wish there was a flightaware tracking for iphones destined for TMO only. That also would make sense as far as TMO not having a flippin' clue how and why us 9/12 folks got royally screwed.
 
so how many routers can we get? 1 for free (since they are waiving the $25)
im thinking of getting one and installing it at the parents house..

1 free and after that you have to buy it for $99. Which is still a better deal since the actual router sells for over 200
 
The last plane of the evening just touched down!

Good luck, everybody!

Next plane to touch down at 6:27AM PDT/9:27AM EDT.

Holy crap. Details dude. When did you get the tracking number?
 
They all ship to a distribution/holding hub on pallets.

16gbs here
64gbs here
128gbs here

Along with colors

Then 2 things can happen:

Carrier trucks pick them up and you receive them.

Shipped to stores.

Right, but are they already prioritized per carrier before they even touch down in Louisville?
