UPS will ship Via truck if it can do so overnight. The 2nd day air name is misleading. They will only use an airplane if needed to hit the delivery deadline. Unfortunately, your truck was delayed or was in some really heavy traffic. I had a package that was overnighted that was heavily delayed due to “train derailment”. Good luck, may still happen
It shouldn’t. I’ve ordered an 11 pro max through tmobile and the driver just left it at the door even though I was home. The same with my se2.
Thanks for the response. Clearly they cannot meet the commitment in this instance! I'll live.
Not me LOL.
Assuming the trucks work from here my phones will get to Philly at about 9am and then hang out there for no reason til Monday.
Random, I picked up my case and screen protectors from Best Buy yesterday and I checked out the 12 mini cases.
it really is the true original SE replacement, that’s what it reminded me of. I’m sure the all screen will be cool but I need battery power and I have the original SE.
ok, thanks for reading, enjoy your delivery 📦 weekend.

The hangouts be annoying with anything but I’m sure you will get yours sooner.

My UPS hub opens in a few minutes so I’ll be going there shortly to pick up my 12 Pro!!
For my UPS delivery, it shows signature needed but I have experienced the drop off before.
aaaaand they've just updated it to indicate that there is an emergency situation or severe weather. Either this driver has the world's worst luck, or they're trying to CYA and absolve themselves from blame for the late truck.
Maybe you could have them hold at your hub and be able to pick it up later today? Or does UPS deliver on Saturday in your area? It’s probably a full truck of iPhones...lots of others about to be disappointed too. Mine seems to have come to Minneapolis by truck as well. Thankfully it’s in town as we now have a mini snow storm happening.
For a bit of hope----depending on what type of address you were shipping to, this could be caused by something far less insidious than it might otherwise seem. We have this happen all the time (business owner here), where when things are shipped via overnight or 2nd day air, or even 3 day select, where there's a typically promised delivery window (i.e. before 10am, before 3pm, etc.). Sometimes the unfortunate happens and the window is missed, even if the delivery is still made on the promised day. That may be happening to you---the messages may simply be indicating that it's going to get to you later than originally planned today, not necessarily that it won't be today. Hope this helps!
Seems like it was one of the more popular choices. Still frustrating as I ordered right at 7 AM. Oh well. Guess we will get next week !
No T-Mobile store has the 12 Pro in stock, cause they are on back order which to be honest is kind of a bummer so I preordered mine it comes in November 17th.
I got email saying that it was at the West Chester, PA hub and will be delivered today. Then it immediately updated on the website to "Delay: we're working to schedule delivery. No date is available"
Please note that I am not stressed and while disappointed am more amused by the turn of events. If I get it today, cool. If I don't get it til Monday, I'm still alive and it's payday!

Ah, today's the day...the day where my ears perk up at the sound of every diesel vehicle that passes by my house. It's estimated 12:45 to 4:45 PM, so it'll probably be 6:30 PM. 🤣
And you paused to post this? You’ve got more self control than I do.
I was at my local store this morning at 8AM. They didn't have any 12 Pros but had the 12s. I picked one up for another line on my account.
YMMV.
Well the Apple store has lots of them - I just got a time slot this weekend.
Including the same model, color, capacity and carrier - Apple.com can't fill an order I paid for last week and pushed delivery to November!
So I am cancelling the pre-order and picking up the 12 Pro I had ordered at the Apple store this Sunday.
I am so pissed this time because Apple couldn't make the pre-orders a priority.
Next year, forget the pre-ordering, forget waking up at 5am, forget the wait - I'll just get mine on the day of release...
