I wish I was... It really is unbelievable. UPS just admitted to me that the scans are not accurate. They're automated scans by the system if there's a delay to the shipment for some reason.
I find it odd them saying that. Interesting that the scans are at the same time as an ACTUAL plane is ACTUALLY taking off towards phone GHOST destinations? Just weird is all I'm saying
Then what the UPS rep is telling me now would seem correct. Yanci A. told me my phone is not in Alaska yet. Apparently there are different types of scans and this wasn't the physical scan which means it's not in Alaska. When I asked how could it be scanned for departure from Alaska, when it's not even in Alaska yet, Yanci A. told me "I don't know either."
Flight from Louisville to Pittsburgh at 4:44am. Hope my phone is on it & I wake up with it at least in my area. I doubt it will be delivered on Sat, but will be ready for it Monday. Mine shipped out the 19th & ups gave me a Wed delivery at first I was so happy Monday morning & well we all know how this week went!
Just spoke with someone at UPS apparently the package is still in Korea, and it hasn't left due to the weather. All the scans since then were false advanced scans. This is absolutely insane. Such ********
Highly suggest closely following istocknow... found 128gb 7+ ready for pickup in the morning. My original preorder from 9/9 was still processing on apple.com and was supposed to arrive 104/-10/10.
Folks I'm just as hopeful as anyone but to think they're going to be delivered tomorrow is just a bit of a stretch. Once they get to Louisville they've got to get to regional centers and then on to us. Thats not going to happen by tomorrow. Here in the Chicago area packages are typically on the truck by at least 6am. No way thats happening with the phone not even in Louisville.
Also, the only thing that has been consistent so far, funny as it sounds, is the tracking info. Apple doesnt know what they're talking about. UPS reps dont know what they're talking about. Package tracking, while not what i have wanted to see time-wise, seems to have been totally accurate. And, incidentally, the original date range for my delivery was 9/23 to 9/27. The phone will be here in that range.

From experience. They have usually updated the scan BEFORE the plan takes off (as stated previously "departing" times differ from "actually departed" times by around 15minutes). This situation is...unusual...
Yanci A. told me that there are three different types of scans. First one is the 'physical scan' which is scanned physically at the location. The other two are 'derived' and 'logical' scan which Yanici A. had no idea what they mean. Yanci A. Told me both Arrival and Departure scans made in Anchorage were logical and that my package is in transit on the way to Alaska now. When I asked how can he/she be sure it's in transit given that all the scans turned out to be lies, I was told that I didn't have to believe it if I didn't want to.
This and the post being replied to sound like smoke being blown up your a** by UPS. The reps dont know what is going on. Apple doesn't know what is going on. I'm betting on the scans being accurate. They aren't going to have phantom scans stretched over hours. Makes no sense at all.
Must stink to be a UPS worker right now, having to make excuses and reason away all this madness from upper management...may god bless their souls
