You’re in the exact same boat as me. Sacramento.. first time getting launch date iPhone.
I live in KY and UPS now shows delivery date unavailable. It’s clearly a glitch at UPS since my phone has been a hour from me for 2 days. No way it doesn’t get here tomorrow. Lol
Crap. All you Shenzhen people, my phone just changed to delivery information unavailable.
Thanks for the chuckle at this extremely upsetting time
I don’t know anything for sure but it may be on a pallet and somehow didn’t get listed on that pallet and is on it’s way. If it’s not listed as on the pallet then It won’t update I suspect until they break it down and it gets an individual scan.
Man... my watches took the scenic route... they left Louisville for PHX... but ended up in MATHER, CA (Sacramento)... now they are allegedly headed to PHX.
Just checked mine and same status as many others: updated to Monday. Hoping that's not the case and I can pick it up at the UPS hub in the AM!
If you'll notice I wasn't having a hissy fit. And I agree it seems to be a system glitch and, if not, I'll survive just fine. I just enjoy being part of the mass revolt. So relaxxxx is correct...but let us have our whine and cheese.
UPS doesn’t fly their own planes domestically in Canada, they contract with cargojet, whose base is in Hamilton (Hamilton also has MUCH lower landing fees than Pearson and fewer restrictions on overnight flights/noise).

^^^
that is most likely the plane that will carry the phones to Sacramento area. Still 6 hours until it takes off....plenty of time for 97 and 99 to get in and sorted.

it seems that flight 97 is roughly 20 mins delayed, maybe that triggered a glitch in the matrix and sent all the tracking for our orders into IDK WHEN mode
One more day, peeps. (We hope).Watch is already on the way to PHX, but still wondering about poor 11:35am AK.

EDIT: My watch is now in Mather, CA. Weird. Hopefully they both arrive at the same time tomorrow in PHX.
So bizarre... mine, too... they are back en route to PHX... in fact, UPS has TWO flights to PHX from Mather... and another one that goes to Ontario and then to PHX. We'll have them in the morning, I am sure, but it definitely is a puzzler this year.
There is a contract, yes. But priority goes to the items that are next day or two day, which is about 90% of the volume on planes. I have worked the Apple detail in the past as a police officer at UPS and have worked at UPS directly. We were bumped off numerous flights where I was supposed to go out and follow a pallet or 12 back for processing. I do know how it works.
