LAST ONE TO LEAVE LOUISVILLE GUYS! HAHAHA! - I meant it as a joke, but I’m hardcore LAST MINUTE CREW! ? I am most assuredly on a plane. I know the route from here.

I’ll have an awesome first iPhone order experience to share with others in the future.

Back to sleep ?

Anyone know if any of the PMs are being driven to their new homes instead of flown? Mine's been showing departed from KY since 3:52pm and it's only a 4 hour flight from KY to OKC.
It’s either an early scan for this flight.

or sometimes they fly it in to a city close by and drive it in.

4 hour flight? Like. Maybe 1.5 hrs. It’s 4 hrs from Dallas to Seattle.

It is 12:25AM Friday morning! I'll be leaving Kentucky in 17 Minutes. I believe I have said my goodbyes and farewell to all of you. Sending ya'll good wishes and good luck for tomorrow. I'm the only one left in here. It is definitely getting lonely. However, I can still feel your presence and know that ya'll were here. What a journey!!!

Awwwww, we both were the last ones out. It’s been a pleasure girl. You’re alright with me. This overnight travel isn’t for everyone, but you made it a fun experience. Safe travels to Vegas and Happy iPhone Day!

This has seriously been such fun. I registered just to take part in this thread and everyone here is so nice. Nobody making each other feel stupid or crazy for being this jazzed over a new phone(aside from a couple of isolated party-poopers of course), just cool people having fun stalking UPS flights together. At the risk of getting too cheesy, it's been really nice to have something to get excited about after such a crappy year.

stupid question but if UPS delivers between 9 AM and 9 PM, then why does it say 'loaded on delivery vehicle' and 'out for delivery' at 6 AM ?

No, it’s not cheesy at all. 2020 hasn’t been kind to many. Knowing my own challenges this year, I know that you never know what someone else is going through behind their avatar. If there was ever a moment to just look beyond yourself and be a little light for someone else to make it another day, now is the time. I was serious before and still am that I’m happy people from around the world can come together and connect over what we have in common. Puts a check mark in the things to be grateful for and a fond memory to reference in the future.

I appreciated this first Apple iPhone pre-order experience. Everyone has been wonderful. I’ve been on MR a long time, so I’m used to the snark and unemotional tech focus on the forums, but this was so refreshing. It felt like being around a group of friends. Fun, helpful, supportive. This is the way it should be - Tech enthusiasts and geeks sharing in the full joy and excitement of a launch day.

This is the way.
