It was a wild ride this year. My watch made it to PHX early last night but I was up several times overnight checking the stupid ZZ phone’s Louisville progress.

Made it to PHX at 4:30am. Not yet out for delivery but glad it’s at least in the same city now!

Mine landed in San Diego this morning. Hope they are able to get the products to the UPS drivers before shifts start.

Most UPS routes are setup to avoid left hand turns since statistically a lot of accidents occur making a left turn. So, that may account for the weird routes. And perhaps packages that are guaranteed arrival times getting priority.
Yes last year as I got my X and talked to driver about follow my route he confirmed that. He also said the computer picks the logistics of delivery. Generally my neighborhood is afternoon but he was there because of a bunch of next day deliveries to houses near me. He did not like follow my route because people get miffed when phone is close but truck never quite gets there to much later but this is why. This year does not look like much in my neighborhood and truck is not far from where he left delivering to warehouses, businesses and such so far. Says by 3 was hoping for earlier but most years that is case.

In case anyone is wondering, iPhone X apple leather cases don't really fit the Xs due to the camera bump being a bit different.

Yeah, I saw reporting on this late yesterday. It all depends on the clearance around the camera opening.

I’ve got a Spigen case sitting here waiting. I hope it’s opening is good!

Quick question about UPS pick up at hub. My order has a destination scan at the local hub, but I'm wondering if they notify you that it is in fact ready for pickup?
Thanks,

Me!! I’m in California. And by the looks of it, I’m not sure how they’re gonna pull it off. Lol
to be honest..the scans are all lies. this morning mine was in Pittsburgh (which isn't my closest UPS) and it said it left Pittsburgh at 640am still in transit, arrival scan in new Wilmington at 7am , which isn't accurate bc new Wilmington is over an hour from Pittsburgh, and then out for delivery at 8. nothing is accurate about tracking these phones. youll get updated scans and an out for delivery status change all at the same time. yours is probably out for delivery. mine was at 8am and my tracking didn't change until 930.

Thanks,

you're supposed to get an email, but you can always chance it and go and they can look for it.

Both my watch and my phone have the same out for delivery scan at 9:22 AM central time (a few minutes ago). They evidently held up the watch delivery so the phone could get on the same truck. All that’s left is the waiting!

Mine was one of the 2:10 ANC departures and it didn't even have an import scan in Louisville when I went to bed hours after the flight arrived there. This morning the status updated to show arrival to OAK. So while the import scan does show a timestamp at the time I had expected, the UPS site just wasn't reporting it. So you might just be experiencing delayed updates. Hope so, anyways!

Well as I thought UPS screwed me. My phone incorrectly went to Ohio. Now my order says “delayed” due to incorrect sorting. For those stuck in Louisville, suggest you track using “by reference”. When I did that I got the truth as to where my phone is . Now I have no idea when it will arrive.

Wow mine is out for delivery. It is pure magic of engineering behind logistics of UPS and Apples professionalism that my phone travelled half the globe in same day and going to make it to homw safely. CHEERS!!!! It started traveling from Korea at 1:08am on 9/21 and going to be delivered on same day. It was roller coaster ride but once again I sold to Apple for my life.
