UPS will get hammered if these don’t arrive on time. I promise you they are doing everything they can and I wouldn’t trust the 9/24 date.

UPS doesn’t want their name associated with a botched iPhone release.

Mine is on that flight too, but it’s the iPhone (not that excited for it this year) so I don’t really care.

I’m just surprised that they don’t ship these earlier to be on the safe side. Makes no sense to me really. I’m just happy that my Hermes watch will be here tomorrow.
 
I would e freaking out too but I have no doubt all of you will get your phones tomorrow as promised. In the meantime, do what I do in these situations...Drink!...;)

I have had this happen not once but twice on previous orders. Let me tell you I was pissed. Not much you can do but I hope it’s just a mistake. It really sucks because if it doesn’t show on Friday you get to wait till Monday.

Hope for the best!
 
I'm not a logistics expert but it seems like these things are batched and there's still time to arrive someplace central tonight and then disperse to a bunch of UPS hubs by morning.
 
Looks like Apple was cheap with their UPS contract.

I was getting worried as UPS My Choice kept showing (Tentative) for 09-21-18 delivery, which I have never seen before... then I got an email stating that I had a package coming tomorrow from AI, my Max SB 256... so I got super excited and clicked on the tracking link to see where it was. And now I'm bummed cause my delivery according to the link is Monday the 24th and it had left Anchorage today at 09-20-18 2:10 p.m.

Can it go to Kentucky then back to Idaho in time for delivery tomorrow?

I'm sure they'll do everything in their power, but in the grand scheme of things, I doubt they'll suffer too much for delivering some iPhones 1 business day late.
 
Mine just says this now "Scheduled delivery information is not available at this time. Please check back later." and it left anchorage at 2:10 and I live in MSP.
 
Wonder why some are sent in from China and others have been here for quite awhile. I live in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area and the first location listed in the tracking list is Irving, TX on the 16th which is in the metroplex. I ordered from an AT&T store last Friday.
 
Just checked mine it also got pushed back to 9/24. Has to be some kind of glitch.
