In the 80's I was on an Air Force C-141 from Japan to the Philippines. We were doing our landing approach when the #2 engine exploded. Almost all the passengers were asleep (it was nighttime) and I think I'm the only one who noticed. When we landed I waited until everyone else got off the plane and I asked the crew chief what happened. He said something like, "Oh yeah, we had a generator explode on that engine."

These planes have four engines, so we weren't in any great danger, but the explosion was impressive!
I’m surprised the crew chief told you that’.
 
I just checked now and I dont even have the option of choosing my local CC, only options are for Access Points or UPS stores. I think I've noticed this with other packages this year as well. Odd that the option has been removed.
I've run into the same thing the past couple of years, but I always manage somehow to find my local CC in a list to have it held. I wish I could remember how I do it, though!
 
Originally scheduled to arrive Sept 27-29, now getting here Wednesday. So at least some good news?! At least I can replace my worn out navy wallet.

Oooo, Valley Village Drapes is now showing me a delivery date of the 24th instead of the 27th! And the Apple Store app now doesn’t specify a date, it just says “arrives”. Fingers crossed! Hopefully this post doesn’t jinx it 😂
I've retroactively imbued your post with jinx block. You're good now.

So I have an interesting one for y'all. Checked yesterday, phone was in China. Checked today, got a shipping update that said it's coming from Carlisle, PA? That's a new one lol
 
At this point, I feel like the rest of the 4:50 crew and I are sports fans screaming at the TV every time the score changes and we're still behind :D

I’m with the 4:50 crew and I think UPS App/MyChoice is just taking awhile to get updated. I requested my packages be held a few hours ago and was approved. This shows on Village Drapes but not on UPS MyChoice yet.
 
For those of you on the 4:50… I remember one year my phone was still in China until the Tuesday night before launch. Still had my phone in hand on launch day Friday. Keep the faith. You’ll have it.

I remember when my phone was still in China until I went to bed on THURSDAY night and it made its way here the next day.
