UPS has SDF set up to be the hub, they send them out of there on Thursday afternoon through just after midnight on Friday morning.

The trucks are busy working on Thursday afternoon/evening. Trucks are not a great place to store iPhones, let alone trucks that are out with packages to be delivered on Thursday. First time the phones are at local UPS locations is when there is an empty truck into which to put them.

Oh, I didn't mean store them on the trucks, I meant get them to the local hub where they are scanned in and eventually loaded on to the delivery trucks Friday morning. Why not have them there a day early just waiting instead of sitting in Louisville and then not leaving any room for an error if it actually gets loaded on the wrong truck or plane. :rolleyes:
 
Departure scan in 5-10 minutes? Let’s go!!!!!

Guys. Need your opinion about something. For the past years I’ve been using dBrand for tempered glass screen protectors. I love them because they are very thin, and most importantly the oleophobic coating on them feels so like Apple’s on the iPhone screen.

Sadly, it seems like dBrand is slacking behind this year on shipping and I want something that delivers on Friday so I saw the Belkin Ultra Glass on Apple Store, should I get it or do you guys recommend something else?

I don’t want anything that darkens the screen, for privacy or any of this. I just want to feel like I am using my phone without one, and the same amazing oleophobic coating Apple uses.

I've been using Belkin for some years and like them. Thin, says it's 2x stronger than tempered glass. Never have a problem with touch, it's precise and smooth. It doesn't say anything about oleophobic coating, if that's an absolute must. I wipe it on my shirt if it ever needs cleaning and seems to be clean again.

Very few local centers have any spare space for this (especially in urban and/or real estate scarce areas). Delivery companies are not warehousing companies, for them to operate as such is an economic model that doesn't work.

They may have subsidiaries, etc that do that, but they have a lot more space at WorldPort. Also, there's a reason these sat in China for as long as they did: there is just no physical space at UPS facilities for this volume for the most part, until they're in motion, then they live in aircraft, in sort spaces, and on feeder vehicles until they hit a package car.

Also, I suspect that is the reason Apple delivers on Friday: package volume is much higher earlier in the week traditionally, so, again, that "in motion" space in lieu of warehousing.
