[doublepost=1512085545][/doublepost]I swear, we’re gonna get updates soon. I can feel it you guys.

Same date as well. And I hope you’re right, Bacon. Was hoping to see one all day today but I feel like we gotta have something happen over midnight.

I’ve seen other packages at times go from it was one place to its local, with no steps between or with all the steps filled in all of a sudden that were not there prior even though the date/time was prior to when I had last checked.

Sure hoping that is going to happen here and we all find out it’s already left Louisville, KY

Same day here. Was initially scheduled for tomorrow, but was pushed back after taking almost 2 days for clearance out of China.

I hope we hear something soon too. Out of curiosity, has anyone called/chatted with UPS to see if they can provide some insight into what’s going on?

I guarantee they will reply back with this:

“Your package is still within the UPS network and, unless otherwise noted, should be delivered on the scheduled delivery date. Shipment movement information is captured each time a tracking label is scanned in the UPS delivery system. There may be several days between scans if the shipment is going cross-country or moving between countries.

If your shipment is expected to be in transit for more than a day between tracking scans, we will display the day and date of the Next Expected Tracking Event in the Shipment Progress area. This message does not mean that your shipment is behind schedule or stopped moving; it simply means that the tracking label might not be scanned for a while. We display the Next Expected Tracking Event so you can rest assured that your shipment is still moving even though no new tracking scans may appear for a while.”

Unless it’s past the delivery date or it never shows up, they probably don’t know too much info about it

they would likely have more up to date internal tracking information, if indeed the packages are in transit and the tracking is lagging behind. if the phones truly haven’t left anchorage yet i’d be really surprised.

Yeah, me too. Seems like their chat option isn’t available for some reason only see phone or email. I would give it a shot but I don’t feel like calling.

My phone has been scanned departure from KY 2 hours ago. It is expected to be delivered to me tomorrow. If it makes it to the local hub (wherever that is) then I can see that being possible

Dang, I’m jealous. Did you have a ship date of 12/4 and it changed to tomorrow or was it originally scheduled for tomorrow?

This is what I got when I chatted with UPS...

The last scan on the package is not necessarily an indication of its current location as our scans only capture a moment in time as the shipment travels to its ultimate destination. The package has not received another scan because it is traveling to the next sorting point and will not be scanned again until it reaches that point. The package at the moment is in transit for delivery on 12/04/17 (by End of Day). I'd recommend you to keep on monitoring your shipment on ups.com for further updates.

Original estimated date was 12/11 to 12/18, once shipped it was estimated arrival of 12/5 now 12/1

Are you with the group that has yesterday 4:50pm AK departure?
Don't kill me but I left AK this morning at 1:50 AM

I am too. I’ll be jealous if they are.
No need to be jealous, I left after yours!!


For all - Order was placed 6 days ago for the phone, estimated arrival is tomorrow. 7 Days from order to arrival is not bad!

So this is odd, after being stuck in Louisville, cause it missed the flight to San Diego hub, due to all the delays, it departed this afternoon. But I couldn’t find a flight to San Diego for the time it left. Only one was like 6am EST.

Well, it just updated that it arrived in Long Beach, which it further from my then San Diego. Also the airport there is a tiny one. I’ve never had a UPS package go through Long Beach. Only LA and San Diego.

Anyway, I hope it doesn't have to drive to San Diego and get sorted at the hub there before going to me. Then it may not make it in time for Friday. -_- We shall see.

This is ridiculous at this point. I wonder if the jet from Alaska is just flying around in circles, marking time so the package will make it's Monday goal and not be accidentally early?

For everyone freaking out, my package went directly from China to Alaska. The updates aren't always accurate. Also if your package is in the US realize the flight from Alaska to Kentucky is 11 hours + time zone change so give it ~15/16 hours from Alaska. Lastly mine skipped 1 so yours might too, meaning it could already be on the way to your local hub. I would start looking for updates tomorrow around lunch time.
 
i'm not freaking out, I'm just disappointed. Like, the whole excitement of getting the phone is dead to me now.
That is a good thing though. A lot of the time too much hype can cause a let down. It's like when a movie or game get's hyped too much it causes lower reviews because it never meets expectations.
