thats happened to me too
Happened with my watch trade in going to Apple. I called to make sure they didn't cancel it because it sat at the destination facility for 2 days and didn't go out for delivery. FedEx told me because the pandemic the package volume was too high. Which I call BS on nowadays because USPS and UPS have been on time or early despite the pandemic and so has amazon it's only ever FedEx with an issue.

Looking at those 3D renders a few pages back makes me worried about going with Pacific Blue vs my usual Silver/White. I really hope the PB pops more in person.

Seriously considering a few. Didnt get the full size, but i dig the mini.
Yeah never had the full size but considering a couple to replace Alexa. I've got a HomeBridge server setup so most everything I have is working it HomeKit now. I'm also very interested in that intercom feature.

I'm sure those stainless steel edges will shine a lot more in person than on a screen.

Waiting for the mini. I’m coming from a 7 and want to keep the size. Super excited! Going to be quite a leap!
Yeah. My mom has the 8 that I bought when it came out that I used while waiting for the X to come out so she finally upgraded to the 12. She wanted a bit bigger screen but not something giant.

Same. I have an Alexa that controls my Chevrolet truck and our Ring video doorbell, but thats about its only use. The intercom feature would be a great add for our home. Weve hit peak 21st century when we can tell Siri that dinner is ready and she does our biding to announce it rather than us walk upstairs to tell everyone its ready. ???

Yup! Look at HomeBridge runs on Raspberry Pi and took me about 5 minutes to setup. Just install the Ring plugin (installs plugins automatically you just click install) and login to your ring account and boom ring on HomeKit.

What's the difference between CC and the store? I checked their website, where it says 'Hold for pickup' and all the locations it shows near me are UPS stores.

Ah, then you might not have a CC nearby, or it may just not be available for you to select. I’ve had deliveries (other than Apple) where the CC is unavailable to me. The Customer Center is the main hub in your area where your item is put on the truck for delivery. Ifyou have it held for pickup at the CC, you skip the step of them putting it on the truck and driving it out to you. If you have it held at the Store, they often have to reroute the package at the hub which can cause a delay. Sometimes, if I choose the Store closest to my house, there’s not a delay since we’re on the same route, but it’s risky. Also, with this delivery being scheduled for Friday, a delay could cause you to wait until Monday.

Yeah. I’m not a case switcher though. With black I’ll either use a brown leather or possibly a clear or black case. If I had the blue it would prob have been the clear case or a black leather case.
I can totally see that. So keeping that space grey phone now? Lol

Sometimes it is harder to find. Try the ZIP of where your UPS delivery's show "Out For Delivery" from if its different than yours. Also if your shipment is new and still in China wait a bit it may show up as the date and scans get closer.

Do you guys think there’s going to be an activity on a Sunday in China as far as scan goes???? 😩🥺
Not when it's Sunday for them. Likely Sunday night in the US as it will be Monday morning there though that's when movement really started last year was Sunday afternoon in the US.

FedEx is tripping because UPS, USPS, FedEx, Amazon, DHL and Lasership have been delivering the Christmas volume since the pandemic started to the present day. I know this because I work at USPS.

So there’s a chance we might see new tracking info tomorrow night.
