wait does this mean people on the east coast will get their iphones first??? that's not fair apple is a California-based company!!!!

You also didn't have to get up (or stay up) until 3am to pre-order the iPhone five, just until midnight which is reasonable so you won that battle, east coasters won this one...I'd rather have had the midnight pre-order over earlier in the morning delivery...that's just me though.
 
Sorry folks.

I just talked to Santa and he told me point blank, some phones will be delivered in the morning, some in the afternoon and some early evening.

Seems that UPS has lots of other business to deal with on Friday.

Wait..Santa? You talked to Santa?
 
It's sad? Are you using a flip phone until your new phone arrives? I can't stand another few hours with it let alone a day. I'm sorry I think we should bring back down voting of replies.

As for mister 'slim to none,' do you tell little kids there's no Santa too? Stop being such a jerk!

This is my predicament as well. I can't stand using this old Motorola razr anymore.
 
my tracking info says before 10:30 am also, but UPS never comes that early for me. I've had them deliver stuff to me at 7-8 PM before
 
chances are slim to none that you will get before 1030 am
How do you figure? UPS usually starts delivering between 8 and 9 am. So even if your particular driver doesn't start till 9 that's still and hour and half of deliveries. I'm sure some people will get their phones delivered in that time, I don't see why people are making it seem like no driver will make a delivery of an iPhone until 2:00. You will get your delivery about the same time you always do, so if your first or early on a drivers route you could easily have your phone by 1030. Also Next day air deliveries(not NDA saver) always deliver before 1030.
 
What about yourself ???

We moved into the newer construction by the airport. My husband was against it, seeing as how its still considered "Oildale" but I figured it wouldn't be too bad. I figured wrong. We are currently looking for a new place to live. I think its back to the Southwest we go.

Not always and you have to figure each driver will have 40 to 60 extra stops and I worked for ups and we don't always deliver before 1030
 
I see everyone ignored my post. Again, if it's nda, nda saver, or wwe, it's guaranteed by 1030, to 12. Ground is eob. If it says worldwide express and not ground y'all will have it by noon. I've had to deal w so many claims for missed guarantee times. Ups knows their ish.
 
Delivery time is unimportant IF it's shipped UPS ground. Ground has a guarantee delivery time by end of day. Depending on the drivers route is when it gets dropped off at your house.

If its shipped air, then it has a 10:30 am guarantee delivery time.

Is UPS Worldwide Express ground or air?

It all depends on how the UPS routes their drivers. If it says on your tracking that it is going to be delivered by 10:30, that usually means that package has been marked by the sender as an early morning delivery or some sort of priority or express shipping. The driver is going to finish his early morning route, then his business deliveries, then his residential route. That's the way I believe it works. If your tracking says it will be by 10:30, then most likely it will get there either by 10:30, or between 10:30 and 12:00.

That couldn't be further from the truth unless you live right next to the hub :rolleyes:

exactly.

Explain. As Ive spent more time than I should have organizing shipping for ups.

We have two hubs that handled all of south jersey. Only time there were post guaranteed deliveries were for misplaced packages.

Yikes ! Have you recently checked your status ? Because mine said it was going to delivered by the end of the day 3 days ago. Now it says by 10:30 AM. Maybe you'll have the same luck as I did ?
