I would beg to differ a bit. Granted IF they deliver tomorrow this will be just a glitch. However this is a company that openly advertises itself as being both a logistics company and a world class shipping company. I think they have failed to meet that standard here.

My best friend can be considered a fanboy and just texted me that he was pumped to get his phone tomorrow… I asked him how he was handling the shipping changes back-and-forth and he asked me what I was talking about… all of these phones will arrive perfectly on time as promised with a slight possibility of a very very very small handful slipping through the cracks. The fact that for two hours the website may have displayed delivering on Monday will not change the success of the launch. Member, we are the outliers here.

Gotta wait awhile until UPS does their destination scan, and then its not difficult to figure out which plane will depart to your airport from KSDF.[/QUOTE]
my watch is in Oakland

Any flights to Sacramento? Or are all Cali flights going to Oak?

I am not seeing any UPS flights between SDF and SMF. Either Sac deliveries go to OAK or they get to SMF by way of another location.

But wait! I searched SDF and MHR (Mather Airforce Base) and voila, 5X 960 departs 3:29am EDT and arrives 4:44am PDT. That could be how your delivery will get to you.

And now a delivery date of 9/25...3 days early...hah.

And of course, I'm out of town every day next week.

Wait,,,I'm flying to Louisville on Tuesday...think they'll hold it there for me?? Can I get it delivered to a completely different address? Like my hotel??
You would have to contact Apple to initiate that type of change. I don't know if they would do that for you though.

What you could do is constantly check to see if there is any availability in-store for the model you ordered in Louisville and then return your existing one (unless you're part of the iPhone Upgrade Program, in which case you're SOL).

UPS99 is on final approach to Louisville. Should be on the ground by 12:58am. I have a 2:10pm scan from Anchorage. Let’s hope for the best.

A.) it’s plenty of time and B.) youre likely going to be delayed sending it to your store anyway so you should switch it. If past history shows store redirects are always last
CC isn't even open until 5PM and my date moved up from Monday to tomorrow after I changed it to the store. Gonna just roll the dice.

I called to check on mine as its been stuck somewhere between Anchorage and Louisville since 2:10pm. The UPS Customer Service rep called me a loser, but then he did say the phone would still arrive tomorrow afternoon so I'm pretty pumped. I thanked him like 100 times.

Can't wait for tomorrow!!!
