so i live on a numbered street, and my address in the apple store goes something like this (contrived example):
600 401st Avenue
which is the same address that my case and protector got sent to (via Apple and UPS), so obviously its deliverable... but apparently someone decided that they didn't want to put in the extra effort to determine that it wasnt 401 STREET but 401st AVENUE which is in caps on the package right next to the 401st.. i never put a "st" after the number so i think apple suggested this as the more correct address, ironically enough..
So although I could have had my phone tonight, I have to wait longer until Monday in anticipation for them to (hopefully) deliver it successfully.
Of all the potential reasons to not have it delivered, this is probably the only one im not really content with. Seems to be human negligence.
