Funny story to share. For quite a while, the same UPS driver always delivered to my house. He has delivered at least 2 launch day iPhones to me, plus other devices. He called me "his Apple Lady". He was super cheerful and kind. He knew I could see him coming from my home office window, and would wait for me to come out instead of dropping and running, so he could say hello.

It seems he's no longer on this route, because for the last 6 months or so, it's been a different driver every week. The driver who dropped off my case the other day was someone I'd never seen before, and he seemed a little grumpy. He handed me my package, and as he was walking away, I said "You know what Friday is, right?". He took a few more steps, then stopped....turned to me with a puzzled look on his face, thought a moment.....and then the lightbulb went on. He said "On no, is it iPhone day?" I said yup!

He then said "Ugh, I requested Thursday off - I should have requested Friday off instead!" He told me that it's waiting for the signatures that's the hard part, and it slows him down so much and he always ends up working really late. I felt bad, but I couldn't help saying "See you Friday!" and waving as he was getting into his truck. :)

#4digitgang It will be interesting to see how many of us are in Wave 1, as they are about to land at WorldPort. Once they clear customs Wave 1 should get Apple shipped status. Those of us lucky enough to be in that wave will get the full tracking number then.

Don't you love it when UPS sets status as "Attempted Delivery" and you were literally waiting there the whole day to receive it.

Had that happen a few weeks ago with one of the new Apple USB-C chargers.

I heard the truck, looked out the window, then went downstairs to meet the driver at the door. I get there and heā€™s driving away and left the sticker on the door.

After calling customer service and his supervisor calling me and telling me where he is in the neighborhood (he told his boss he wouldnā€™t come back and would deliver to an access point), I tracked him down.

One of the dumbest things.

From ANC, Alaska to Louisville, Kentucky. This is the actual distance we may have crossed.

The AfterShip app is the one that told me the Customs clearance was completed, but the UPS app isn't showing the Louisville scan yet. Did it arrive in Louisville or is this done ahead of arrival?

It's done Arrival. It's still en-route expected to arrive in 50 minutes.
