I haven't heard anyone say the pandemic is over. But society as we know it has to continue to carry on and live. Yes, we have to be much more careful with being as clean as possible but we cannot continue to live in fear and not move forward. I have always said that at this point shutting the economy down and forcing more and more businesses to go under which in turn will cause more and more people to lose their jobs is far worse than what fatality rates could or would possibly be.

Of course no one wants anyone to die. But on the same token, we might as well be dead because sooner than later businesses and people will run out of money. Then what? That's when a civil war will break out by having people fighting each other for food and other essentials. It's bad, I know that. But taking preventive measures can and will go a long way............
You're assuming that even if restrictions are lifted, people will go out and do stuff voluntarily. A lot of people in my age bracket have those pesky "underlying conditions" or they have elderly relatives that they need to care for, and they are not budging one bit on taking a chance. Businesses here are allowed to be open to the public with restrictions requiring masks and distancing, and those that rely on in person visits don't even have enough business that they have to turn anyone away.

I continue to spend money to try and help local businesses but only if they have no contact ways to do so. I note that many businesses that do have their no-contact options swamped, so that is definitely what people want. If they want our money, they need to adjust their business model.
 
So far here is my progress: its on the truck

Just posted on this. Same here with me. Had a chat with UPS. They are saying it is still in transit and will be delivered tomorrow.
I did an will call, how will I know if its actually went through? Its showed it earlier but its doesn't show anything currently at the moment. I'd rather pickup tomorrow morning until waiting for it to come tomorrow night. haha
 
I had an iPhone 11 Pro 256GB and I think Apple gave me a trade-in quote for like $450 which was way too low. I advertised it on FaceBook Marketplace for $750 and it sold 12 hours later. Only problem was I didn't have a back up phone to use until I get my iPhone Pro tomorrow. So I just went to my Apple store and I bought a regular iPhone 11 to use for one day.....

I deactivated my Facebook account for personal reasons so I can’t post it in the Marketplace. I’m sure I could get more than $500 for it.
 
For the people who are getting charged now getting charged the taxes or the first phone payment?

So far just the tax... and it would have been the downpayment but I screwed up and didn't put one down. I don't even think Verizon even knows I upgraded yet. I figure my first payment will be due once the phone is activated and on my next bill.

It should be set if they said they changed it for you, mine had the same issue I chatted in and had them confirm it they explained it is set but won't actually update until its scanned and updated at the destination. So we should be fine.
 
12 pro blue. Oct 30-nov 4 delivery....just got charged and status has changed to preparing to ship...does that mean I'm getting my phone early?!?!?!? I'm getting pumped!

I hope so! What shipping method did you select? Express or Standard? I paid the $8 for Express and I have the same window. Even though express shipping is 7 to 10 BUSINESS days. So our phones would have to ship out by tomorrow to clear by the 10th business day (at the latest). I'm hoping with all I've got it arrives by the 29th. Good luck to you!

Bummer.... I first thought about selling my iPhone 11 Pro on eBay but I then remembered how expensive eBay and Paypal fees have become. That's when I decided to sell on FB Marketplace. It's free and they're usually pretty fast transactions. I sold mine in less than 24 hours after posting the listing. $750 was a lot better than Apple's measly $450 offer which was almost insulting to me.......

Boo and then the map for tracking will perpetually show the truck in the same spot all day :(

Yes!!! Exactly. I’ve noticed that as well. It sat 2 miles from my house for what seemed like 45 minutes a few weeks ago when I was waiting for a delivery and then headed away to return 3-4 hours later. I just assumed it was lunch break time for the driver... which is totally reasonable. Everyone needs to eat.

I feel like giving too much location information out about a truck full of merchandise is a security threat.
 
I’m still stuck in Louisville since the import scan at 9:34 this morning. Took forever to get that import scan and now it’s taking forever to leave Louisville.
