Colombus day is not a real holiday .
UPS recognizes Columbus Day but does not observe it. https://www.ups.com/content/us/en/resources/ship/imp_exp/operation.html
Fedex is open too http://www.fedex.com/us/service-guide/holiday-schedule.html
And called T-Mobile and they tell me that they recognize the holiday but they do not observe it. So we will get charges tomorrow people.
Charges for today happening at 4 and 7 PM EDT. If it doesn't happen today, it'll happen tomorrow. Lots of flights from china tonight, has to cover most of the phones for the week. Was on the phone with a representative and I'm told that all the phones that were supposed to be delivered to affected areas of the hurricane are getting delivered tomorrow, so if you are tired of waiting, head over to the store tomorrow. They expect a lot of devices, who knows you might even get the unicorn.

My tracking info says it will be delivered by end of day tomorrow but it's location is still not known. It says it's still in transit to UPS. I want to call out and make sure no one steals my phone as it will be sitting on my steps until 9 or 10pm. I'm worried it won't come tomorrow with no other scans on the label yet.

usually with other people who had overnight shipping, which you probably had (even though really not because no delivery on weekends) they usually never update it until it arrives. And if you're worried about someone stealing it, don't pre sign it and just pick it up at UPS after work and wait for the guy to come to your house and drop it off where you can then sign it.

Yeah I got overnight shipping. With all that being said, you think it will most likely be here tomorrow? I don't have stuff shipped often but ive never seen ups really be wrong about a delivery date before.

Lol what does "recognize but not observe" mean? Like they don't deny the existence of a dude named Columbus, but he's just not important? In some alternate universe, there is believed to be a 'Columbus Day', but it has not been proven? It is in fact Columbus Day, but they do not practice the required rituals necessary for an orthodox Columbusite? :p Yeah I hope they are all open for business as usual.

Spigen is a good company. Cheap and offers a lot of protection.

Thanks! was considering that brand; as well as Speck clear ,Presidio or casemate. Was hoping to avoid those prices, however.
[doublepost=1476040177][/doublepost]
These are really good! Currently have one for my 6; dropped so many times and protects it very well! Can't wait to put it on my 7+

Thanks a bunch! Have an otterbox on my 6s+, it's bulky and totally hides the phone's beauty. I have dropped my phone an insane amount of times though--to the point of breaking the otterbox. So yeah, needs to be tough. That's 2/2 recommendations for Spigen.

It means that they acknowledge that it exists but they just don't take a day off for it. And I always go with Spigen. Best company. Been with them for 3 years now and couldn't be happier

I'm pretty sure that we should get very little charges tonight. Maybe like 10-30 charges. 95% sure. If not then we will have a super large wave tomorrow.

I called T-mobile today with little hopes to get any info on my order. He said I'll most likely get my phone before my ESD (10/25-11/11). He sounded sure of himself like he knew something was happening, but just couldn't say. I also asked about the stock on Apple Watch S2. His tone changed like he genuinely had no information on when they will be back in Stock. Hopefully, we get some good news on our phones tomorrow.

I got mine at the Apple Store and used my BarclayCard with Apple Rewards to get points to get a $25 iTunes card. I love my series 2 and don't keep my 6s+ on me at work half the time.
