Wow I go drive for a couple of hours and the whole thing goes off the rails...
...now I don't want to look at my UPS anything. I ain't got no text.

Scratch that - just got an alert that I'm scheduled for tomorrow.

How are you getting notifications from UPS app. Im just getting text and email.

Just spoke with UPS as well. Sounds like they're getting a lot of calls about things getting rescheduled to Monday, but the rep stressed that was NOT the case, and their tech support team is trying to get things corrected on the website.

I’m late here sorry! How come people are getting delayed?

If $DATE = '2018-09-24', update $DATE = '2018-09-21'

Like that?

 

[padakin]

My tracking says Order Processed: Ready for UPS, was supposed to have a 9/21 delivery. How screwed am I?

 

[Texh49]

I am triggered. Where is the scannnnns!

LOLOL

As well rescheduled for Monday - Orlando, FL

Also for those asking why Apple has not shipped them over here yet, they are at the mercy of UPS. UPS gives priority to other volume over Apple. They lose more money if a next day or two day air parcel does not make it compared to a pallet of 500 iPhones that just have an estimated date of arrival. Its business..

This is wild. Lmao

I’m half laughing and smiling at how wild it is and also stressing.

What a wild rollercoaster. Thanks everyone for riding it with me hahaha

UPS 99 has been in the air more than an hour and no departure scan from Anchorage yet.

Delivery date moved to Monday from Friday.

Final destination is Mississauga, On.

I may have some bad news for you. Talked to UPS CC manager in Ottawa earlier today. There was a special flight from SDF to YHM today at 6:30 PM that was carrying all the iPhones for eastern Canada. If you weren’t on that flight I wouldn’t get your hopes up for tomorrow.

 

[Jordan921]

At this point if your phone is not physically on a flight to Louisville there is no way to be getting it tomorrow. All UPS planes leaving Alaska for Louisville have already departed and it has to be there before around 3 so that the flights can make it to your local areas.

That’s what I’m hoping. How long is that flight from Anchorage to Louisville?

 

[Shadowbech]

At least I got an e-mail for all my 3 shippings that I'll be receiving them tomorrow.

You think that Apple isn’t paying them a good amount of money to guarantee delivery dates for pre orders on a $1000+ phone?

I’d say you’re wrong.

UPS and Apple have a system that’s why they’ve used UPS.. there’s a contract involved.

I didn't get a text. Just an email and it threw an alert. I have it set for texts/email so not sure why it was done as an alert.

on a scale of 1-10 about 400

 

[dankcook]

Maybe if they made them in the US, us entitled, 1st world problems people wouldn't be nearly as upset.

well, there goes my last hope. Im in toronto, i would think that the phones would fly into pearson rather than hamilton

 

[Carilyn]

still have faith in Apple and UPS. Rescheduled delivery for Monday also (Northern California). Crossing fingers it gets sorted out and is some kind of glitch. This will be the first time I’ve actually received a launch day phone so I was pretty excited about it.

 

[SAMCROforever]

Not happy at all. It was 9/21 all day until now.

Yup and you’re correct, apparently they make special accommodations to ensure we get our products on launch day. So we SHOULD get our phones but i don’t know this year, for a s model, it’s been a **** show than last year for my X.

We’ll see I guess. Lots of people impacted.

"Scheduled delivery information is not available at this time. Please check back later."

I'm calling the police

Good lord you think they are expensive now, just wait until they raise the price for made in the US prices lol

Did anyone do in store pickup? I have a 10AM pickup window. Do I have to stand in line or is there a separate line for pre orders? First time doing in store pickup, always sat waiting for UPS on launch day for prior phones.
