This truck tracking stuff is next level. Seeing where my truck is really makes me feel better lol!
I’m currently sitting in the parking lot at one of UPS’s Customer Centers in Louisville, KY (the one adjacent to the Worldport).
I was in the Sep 21 shipping group and marked my package for pickup at a CC like I do every year. I’ve had UPS drivers in my neighborhood not attempt delivery before, so holding for pickup has always been the guaranteed way to get my iPhone day 1.
I showed up to the CC I usually utilize this morning at 9am and they only had 1 package for me. It was my phone case from a separate order/shipment. They told me they think it’s at the hub. There have been no additional scans since yesterday at 6:04PM arriving in Louisville (where I live). I drove over to the CC where my package made its last scan, and they don’t know where it is.
CC said it could be somewhere here or possibly on a truck but they have no idea because of the lack of scans. The helpful customer service guy here is going to have some people go searching around the warehouse at noon as well as ping a few drivers around my area.
Normally I wouldn’t really care about a short delay, but I’m leaving for vacation next week. They will return the shipment back to Apple after 5 delivery attempts which I won’t be able to sign for. So of course I have shipping issues the 1 year it would be a problem :/
I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

My truck is doing zig zags around the city it’s been to my block twice! I’m about to put some spike strips and catch the truck myself.
I got my 512 GB Gold XS Max at 9:10 am, and it's still downloading the 188 GBs of apps and photos. It's wicked fast, though! Awesome upgrade. The screen is gorgeous too.
Well my phone never left Kentucky yesterday and that’s why I’m not a religious man.
Did anyone not get a "ready for pickup" or "out for delivery scan yet"? I just picked mine up just trying to see who was delayed yesterday that was truly delayed and who ended up making it
It drove again within a 1/4 from me...and once again in the next neighborhood. LOL,
The UPS driver is teasing me, he knows darn well what is being delivered here.

Thank you for the information. I am thinking if I should cancel my request to hold it at the UPS Customer Center and just have it delivered. Not sure if it will make a difference. Any insight into this?
I received two text messages from UPS stating they were ready for pick-up. I tracked them on the mobile app anyway and knew they were at our local facility.
I live in a total residential area and the tracking map showed the truck no more than 3 houses away (I did not go outside to confirm) and assumed I was up next. The next time I looked at the map he was in a completely different subdivision.
Either there are first-AM deliveries they are making or it's the most wacky optimized route I've ever seen.

Nice idea.. Going to order some spikes from amazon prime now and track that driver as well. I will leave delivery instructions to leave it right on the road.
They have next day air packages that are guaranteed by 10:30a. They have to deliver all those first.
See you in one of the UPS Customer Center BRO6. The Customer Center nearest to me where it is held for pickup opens at 9 am
this is so crazy ,tracking doesnt show out for delivery scan. 2 UPS employees told me on their side it shows out for delivery. Another girl called me and said she's not sure if it's out for delivery adn when she paged the drive he said he was just there, and he doesnt know if he has the package or not. He said he had too many in there to check.
Why not just deliver mine with the other express package that my colleague had delivered.... now he has to come back later, crazy.

I haven’t gotten it yet I live in the San Fernando Valley and right now I can’t even get the tracking on my package. I called UPS and they told me mine didn’t make the plane it was delayed and it’s not going to be delivered till tomorrow
