So I just spoke with a THIRD UPS representative, a guy named Tim and I basically told him that I was getting conflicting information from UPS and told him about the lady telling me it was at Pearson this morning and the lady who told me it was in transit.

He seemed like a cool enough dude on the phone and he apologized for the misinformation and explained that BOTH OF THE REPRESENTATIVES that I spoke to previously gave me wrong information - the claim that my package was at Pearson (the first lady) - is a flat out lie and so is the claim from the second lady that the package had cleared customs.

Apparently, my iMac is still in transit IN THE UNITED STATES. As I suspected. He laid out very clearly for me what will happen over the next few days - he said Saturdays there won't normally be any movement on the package. On Sunday night, it should clear customs, move through Pearson, and by the morning be ready to go out for delivery. So really, even though we're guaranteed for delivery by noon, it's not as certain as UPS is trying to make it sound like, especially since it hasn't cleared customs yet. Like I said, I'll let UPS deal with it but if it's not here Monday morning, I'm gonna have to call UPS and yell at someone.

Also, on another note - the second lady I spoke with mentioned that we may see some scans over the weekend but most likely there would be a flood of updates Monday morning-ish. She gave no reason why, but I think I know why. BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO THROW ON ALL SORTS OF LUDICROUS DEPARTURE AND ARRIVAL SCANS that didn't happen to try to fool us into believing it was in Canada all along or was moving along during the weekend. We'll see Monday morning...

And thank you Tim from UPS for giving me some actual true(sounding) information.

Oh and I saw in the other thread someone from Ottawa getting the exact same (crap) information as me about their iMac being here, but locked in a truck, ready to go for Monday. So clearly they are told to give some kind of consistent excuse to people and that, to me, shows some hardcore covering up.
 
The Latest is..... I'm screwed until monday. There are in UPS words over 5000 Applw products sitting in containers at Mt Hope airport. She said they didn't make thru customs in time to be shipped out today. The containers will be started on tonight and finished monday am. NO SAT Delivery, No pick up at airport. It's not like I have to have it right now,I will live but the supid F's said no it's out for delivery and that was 3 differnt people I talked to thru the day... I googled UPS SUCKS and at least I'm not alone
P.S I asked the manager on the phone if monday is the absolute best you can do and she said it is a before 5 shipment. I said ya before 5 friday. Doesnt matter monday before 5. It better not be another day like today :(
 
You guys are extremelly lucky if you get it today. Even though we were on the same flight from China, my package (shipped express) is showing:

LOUISVILLE, KY, US 13/11/2009 6:10 PKG DELAY-ADD'L SECURITY CHECK BY GOV'T OR OTHER AGENCY- BEYOND UPS CONTROL

If you guys do get it today, please post pics for me :) Enjoy!

Customs is so stupid. Yeah, Apple is going to sneak a bomb into one of the thousands of iMacs being shipping. :rolleyes: I really think we need new Customs agents. Everytime I've had to deal with Customs throughout my life, they've been a bunch of wankers.
 
I just spoke to UPS. Arrggh!!!!! Their online status says:

Scheduled Delivery Date:16/11/2009 (Updated)
17/11/2009 (Original)

However, the lady there tells me that it will be delivered to me on Tuesday the 17th before 10:30. Gave me some story that the date of the 16th listed is when it comes to Canada. :mad:

Stupid is telling the general public that high end electronics are left in UPS vans over the weekend. Sorry that you guys are getting caught up in the Friday delivery squish. :(

Hey, that's how UPS rolls. I'm surprised Apple didn't go with FedEx. All shipments they do within North America are almost always with FedEx. Guess they use UPS for getting them in from China?
 
Hmm, till this evening, my UPS status said
" Scheduled Delivery Date:16/11/2009 (Updated)
17/11/2009 (Original)"

Now there is no delivery date listed at all, it just states there was a Departure Scan at Anchorage. Don't like the sound of that. The UPS rep I spoke to today told me that I should expect delivery on Tuesday November 17th.
 
Just for another update I just got a new scan :mad:

This is really weird c6rvette. I too have the departure scan from Louisville but the time is 14:55. I'll keep you posted if anything new shows up on the tracking info
 
I have the same departure scan, c6rvette. Very strange because I was told yesterday that my iMac was already en-route to Canada. Maybe they're just updating the database late?

I'm pretty skeptical that they'll actually get the iMac to me on Monday (as promised by two CSRs). I guess we'll see what happens though...
 
BTW: can you guys see you expected delivery date? Mine is still gone from the tracking info :confused:

No delivery date on mine..
P.S Allison the on duty manager with ups muncton told me on friday night mine didn't deliver do to late customs processing in Mt hope... how about it wasnt even in the f*&%^ country. What did they scan to show an arrival in mt hope... if it was the container how can it not show any updates until another departure from kentucky. I think they are removing scans to cover up what ever f up they have done.
 
Yup, c6rvette, I'm pretty sure you're right. I have the same scan as yours:

LOUISVILLE, KY, US 11/14/2009 9:57 A.M. DEPARTURE SCAN

Looks like your iMac is with mine...and looks like Tim was right, the first two UPS people lied to me and my iMac was indeed still in the U.S.

It boils my blood that there's jack squat we can do to call UPS out on their cover-ups...
 
That's nuts. Sounds like you guys are having some worse troubles than I am. I hope they sort out this mess for you all soon.

I thought I'd keep you updated on my status coming to Ontario. I had thought it was on flight UPS81 yesturday (Friday) but I guess it didn't make it. It just received its second departure scan out of Shanghai a little while ago:

Ditto with mine :-( I'll be very upset if it doesn't get delivered on Tuesday as originally scheduled!!!
 
The last update I got is still:

LOUISVILLE, KY, US 14/11/2009 14:55 DEPARTURE SCAN

I was promised tomorrow as the delivery date... we'll see!

PS: I have a question for those who already got their iMac. How big is the box? I'm asking because I have to go pick up my mac with my car who's pretty small and I'm kind of scared it's not going to fit. Thanks!
 
Still no updates on my end .... must be a really long flight from Louisville :(

Yup, I'm in the same situation as both of you, the departure scan from Louisville being my last update. UPS better not screw up this morning delivery...I'm taking the day off just to receive it.:mad:
 
So I tracked the flights departing from the Louisville airport on Flightaware in the past 48 hours; surprise surprise, there was NO UPS flight leaving Lousville at 9:57am on Saturday (when we all had the departure scan), and there was, in fact, no UPS flight going to Canada at all on Saturday from Louisville. So I looked through the SUNDAY flights, and there is ONE UPS flight that left Louisville at 4:15pm EST and arrived in the Hamilton airport at 5:19pm EST (http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS476/history/20091115/2122Z/KSDF/CYHM). I'm betting that this is the flight our iMacs were on.

This would make sense with what the UPS guy Tim told me - that UPS would not be flying the iMac into Canada until Sunday night.

In any case, hopefully all of our iMacs were indeed on UPS476 and we all wake up to the doorbell ringing and the UPS guy outside...
 
hey jcphoenix, you live on the west coast or east coast? I live in Vancouver, hoping I get mine tomorrow too but looking slim if it goes to Hamilton first...

I live in Toronto but they may have other spots in Canada that it comes through on the west coast...I think if it did go to Hamilton, you still have an okay chance of getting it tomorrow cause it might very well have left Hamilton already on another flight (seeing as we haven't had any updated arrival scans, etc and our iMacs are obviously *not* still on a plane somewhere, I assume they're just skipping scans). I'm just crossing my fingers, hoping it'll be here tomorrow.
