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.
Holy **** this is insanity.

they don't deliver on Saturdays. However, you can contact UPS to have them hold for customer pick-up at the UPS center. Then it won't get on the truck for Monday's delivery. However, you have to drive to UPS and pick-it up between 10am and 1pm (Saturday's hours). This is assuming it's there and scanned in by 10am Saturday
Some areas deliver on Saturday, I see their trucks every week. I can specify some orders from Amazon deliver on Saturday and they come via various carriers, including UPS.

How do you place an order if there's an existing order placed against your cell number? If I try to submit an order, the system says I can't place another order until the one I ordered is activated.
You've gotta cancel your order. Obviously, there's a risk that in between someone will snatch up the one available in the store. Takes apple's system a few minutes for your cancellation to register

I'm in Boston by the way. Driving 45 minutes to New Hampshire for mine. No sales tax or delivery fee :)

For the 801 group: It looks Like the Anchorage flight that scanned at 3:00pm for a 3:20 departure actually left at 3:57pm. It should arrive in Kentucky at 2:12am, which is the hub for the northeast.

We get Saturday delivery, and the customer care office at the facility is closed on Saturday's
Our local office is open Saturday mornings and we have delivery. Seems odd they would deliver but not have operating hours at your local office.

OK well spoke with a supervisor and she assured me that for 801 groups that the 3:30 departure scan was an actual physical scan that the actual package is on the way to kentucky, but that she can't confirm if it will be delivered tomorrow she is saying Monday. I asked about apple upgrading to a Saturday deliverly but she said that was for packages that were failed to be delivered by today
I had a delivery date of today on my order.... is that what she meant? Hoping!!

That's what I was afraid of. I found one in another city that I could have driven to but it quickly disappeared and I'd not have been able to cancel and order in the time it was snatched up.

I wonder if it's too late for people whose phones are already in transit to upgrade their shipping???
If my phone are at the local UPS Saturday, I've arrange for pick-up. Then I'll have them early

Realize, for the most part, we'll all get our phones Monday because we're all en route to Kty. (Hopefully) Then we'll be on our merry ways out of this forum. Then the next batch, which is probably watching our posts, will go through the same exact thing. Hopefully easier for them.
