UPS says my iPhone will arrive tomorrow

Here's my take on this: I called the Apple customer service number and spoke with a representative. He said that they put all of the preorders that have delivery scheduled for 9/21 under the category "holiday shipping" so that the carriers (i.e., UPS and FedEx) would note that those orders MUST be delivered that day. Basically, it is too insure that you will get your iPhone 5 order on the date specified on your order status.
 
Mine says it is in my city. Still nothing yet. Hope to hear a doorbell or a gas guzzling truck come by soon. :)

This has been posted many times, but sadly, someone else will ask about it within the next hour or so. All makes common sense.
 
At least u guys are getting it Friday. I bet u $50 the guys in other countries begin to ship from Friday and arrive during next week as the 4S did. I was PISSED when that happened. Rang and complained.
 
I'm not reading all these pages, but Apple DOES NOT put holds on their products... Remember when everyone who preordered the 4, got theirs a day or two earlier. It'll be the same. To those who's scheduled for tomorrow, enjoy your new toy.

And OP you better hold all these meatballs words for those $10. Because I guarantee you'll get it w/I a hold.

this is what you get when you track with ups mychoice

Important information for iPhone Customers
Apple has required that UPS deliver iPhone shipments to customers on and not before Friday, September 21, 2012. iPhone’s are scheduled for Friday, September 21 2012 and have a delivery commitment of the end of day.

Why isn't my package moving? The packages are being staged in key locations and moved on a coordinated schedule for delivery on the shipper's planned release date, Friday, September 21, 2012.
 
It said that for the 4 too, and sure enough everyone got em early.

----------

I'm not getting the 5, so have no interest, just saying from many years of exp.

Why do you keep referencing what happened with the iPhone 4? That was over two years ago. Ever since the mess up with the iPhone 4, Apple has managed to to lock down nearly all pre-orders since from arriving earlier, which is evident with the iPhone 4S, iPad 3, and, now, the iPhone 5.

My 4S was a day early with FedEX last year. UPS is holding my iPhone 5 this year so who knows.
 
All -

I apologize for the lack of updates.

TLDR: No, I did not end up getting it.

Long version: It said it was on it's way to be delivered. I was all excited, left my signed note, and headed off to school. I check it an hour later, and they said the note didn't meet requirements, and I could pick it up. I went to go pick it up, and the employee would not let me have it. I told him, it was attempted to be delivered today, hand it over. No dice. He said I had to wait like everyone else. I'm like, you have the box right in front of my eyes, would it kill you to hand it over? He said he did not have authority too.

To make it even more strange, he was the one that went to go deliver it in the first place! I am sure he figured out he screwed up, and didn't want anyone to find out. I feel bad, but I don't at the same time. He was very rude and cross to me, when I litteraly saw my baby sitting right behind him. At the very least, he could have told me it wasn't suppose to be delivered, and it was a mistake.

Is that even legal for them to hold the package from me? It was an interesting and very awkward conversation at the depot.

They will try again Friday. :/

Thanks all for the support, looks like others got theirs early as well. Go watch their unboxings!

Their first duty is to Apple as they are the primary "owner" of the shipment.

There was nothing messed up about the iPhone 4 deliveries. For those of us that got it early, we received an email from Apple saying that we would be getting it early. It wasn't just a mistake on the shippers part.

I could tell. I would have much more sympathy and respect for the guy if he just admitted his mistake. He literally gave me no reason for the error. I don't think Apple telling them to hold it would be a secret, it is posted right on UPS's website they are holding them because of Apple.

Very bizzare...and awkward. lol

You work for UPS?

And yeah..we just kinda starred at each other for a good 5 seconds, and I just said firmly, I paid $799 for that package, when will it be at my house? Friday.
Fine.

And I walked out. Didn't want to say there any longer.

I am just waiting for it to show up "lost" lol.:rolleyes:
