Last pre-order 2 years ago I was still an FO. We'll refer to @pilotpat as a Senior Captain.
Congrats on your move to the left seat!
😎

So everyone, who has big plans for their new phone this weekend? Going out to take photos? Running speed and performance comparisons with your current phone? Showing it off to friends and family? Spending several hours going through settings to get every setting to your liking? Catching up on your sleep after spending many hours on this forum?
Yes
 
I’ll be very interested to see how things settle out tomorrow morning in SDF.

UPS/Fedex/DHL shipping are great, but status reporting can be erroneous and/or slow for shipments that arrive on time. They can also be correct, and then it’s delivered late, but that’s not what I’m talking about here.

It can sometimes take over 24 hours for events to show up correctly in these systems. Sometimes longer. Sometimes the events line up in an order that doesn’t make sense, and then the history fixes itself.

Some people may have had phones left behind. It’s also conceivable that their palette scans were missed or delayed, so it will be very interesting to see if arrival in Louisville “trues things up”, or if we have delays.
 
Last year was my first trying in store pick up. Went on my lunch break and made it back in time but had to hustle. This year I might skip my window and go after work, that shouldn’t be an issue right
 
These guys are hauling right now

I think it's time for bed. Hopefully some good news tomorrow morning for those still stuck in CGO.
