Everyone ignore any info from "kid84" he was trolling all last night
Not likely, you'll be fine though. They unload and load a 747 in 45 minutes and process thousands of packages every minute.
I got this message, but who knows where my phone is. It is part of the crew that was scanned into KY overnight, but then magically redeparted from Hong Kong and is flying back to KY from AK.
Yeah, I think mine will move from Louisville late this evening. I’m about 1.5 hours north in Indianapolis.
I've reported him so hopefully soon. Just blabbers on about stuff he doesn't have any clue what he's saying. He's only here to try and worry us for some reason
I’ve had a phone get an arrival scan at MSP airport at 5-something-AM, get to the nearby hub soon after, and be on the truck the same morning. It’s possible. Even if it doesn’t get in a truck for delivery but still arrives at the CC, you could go pick it up.
I’m in northern Cali and wondering the same thing. But I thought all packages have to go through world hub, or is that not the case?
Jokes, dude. I think we need a sarcasm rating to give to our own posts before we hit reply on this forum so that we don't mislead.
Now, joking aside, my pair is now stateside.
On the release night, I ordered my phone to be delivered to my home since it was not available in any of reasonably located Apple stores at the release time (whyyyyy?). Then I could not find the pre-sign option on my order and freaked out and requested delivery to a UPS location. It looks like that request is still not applied to my order since the delivery is still pointing to my place. BUT:
This morning the pre-sign button finally appeared! I can print and sign but I guess the rerouting request will kick in at some point
and I am worried it will delay delivery I called ups to remove the rerouting request by they say they cannot ((

Probably a multi-million dollar contract much cheaper than retail price. I'd guess a $2-5/unit cost given how much volume there is. Totally guessing btw lol.
Yeah it was planned, but to me it always feels like they are not playing it very safe. I mean what if a storm blows up, a plane breaks down, aliens invade and are found to subsist on spoiled milk and iPhone parts? Stuff could happen...if I were in charge I would want the packages at the Louisville hub asap instead of letting them sit for a day somewhere in China or S Korea.
It will be in your hand s tomorrow. No worries. I’m glad more people got the same text. Didn’t know what to make of it.
Yeah. I think I remember we were tracking our iPhone X’s together haha
