Got an email that a delivery attempt was made today and thought I missed getting the phone early lol. UPS says it’s still in Kentucky. Probably because of next day air saver but Apple won’t let the phones deliver till 9/20
Got a tip for us?
Let us know

For those people who are opting to have the package left on their doorstep, T-Mobile is notorious for shipping the phones in boxes that scream "steal me". I wouldn't risk it myself.
I think last year they shipped in normal brown boxes but the year before that they were shipped in all black boxes that were bright magenta on the inside and you could easily see the magenta without even opening the box.

Yea, I remember doing it once a few years ago, wasn’t awful, but was a wait. I just hate waiting around all day for delivery.
UPS app won’t let me change delivery anyway. Guess I’ll just be looking out my window all day
It will simply not let me have it held at the hub.
So I did a confirmed delivery window. Their expected was 11:45 to 3:45, the confirmed one was 11:45 to 1:45 (two hour instead of 4 hour window). Probably not really worth the 8 bucks but it'll give me the ability to go into the office tomorrow work for most of the day then head home for lunch to finish from home.
The peace of mind knowing I'm there for sure when its supposed to be delivered to me is worth it.

Ya I couldn’t personally change delivery or any of that. I had to call and they set it up to be held at a hub. T-Mobile claims they’re hiding names and home addresses for security purposes, but I’ve personally never experienced that until now. I get the security reason, but I have no control over my own package in My Choice.
Not likely for a few more hours. The departure scans will come in as the flights depart, and in previous years that started late afternoon EDT. I used FlightAware to look at UPS flights from Louisville to Philadelphia (where mine is going) and the next flight departs at 3:30 PM EDT.

edit: oh, and filter by UPS to make it easier.

Interesting. The next UPS flights to me are at 4AM and 5AM.
So my T Mobile phone is at KY but is being sent to IN before it comes to me.
While my other phone I got at the same time from the Apple store is also in KY and coming direct to me.
Why ???

I see two incoming flights. One in 1hr and another in 12hrs...that’s LAX though. We have two other nearby airports. I’m just assuming they’re arriving at LAX ?
A flight leaves there in a couple hours (if my status changes in the next few I'll know mine is on that one) the next one after that is 3:30 in the morning and it lands at 3:30 here (thank you DST) I suspect mine is on the later still at 3:30 in the morning and a expected original delivery of 11:45 to 3:45 (now till 1:45 since I did a confirmed delivery) that sounds about right.

For anyone in the Los Angeles area:
I see two flights arriving today at LAX in 1hr and another in 12hrs.
For BUR, there’s flights landing in 1hr and 12hrs.
For ONT, there’s one landing in less than 10min, another 2hrs, 11hrs, and 12hrs.
Hope this helped so any SoCal people.

When you get a departure scan, look for the flight that left closest to the scan. If it’s still in the air you can track it in real time.
Lots of flights going to the Oakland airport. Guess that’s the closest to me. Some land at 5 in the morning tomorrow but some are landing in 15 minutes. Hope I’m on the early ones
I had a departure scan but it's not even close to the times i'm seeing on flightaware.
Got two departure scans. FYI, one of the phones must just have my first name, because it’s not showing up
I’m the “manage” section of UPS app.
Me running to my porch to wait for the UPS guy tomorrow. No failed delivery attempts here buddy.
Yep, I got an email from T-mobile saying the same thing about 30 min ago, smh
Just called UPS to confirm my confirmed delivery request.
Not only can they not confirm they can even do that request, they can't even promise their original expected window will happen due to all the deliveries for the phones tomorrow.

Supposedly it doesn't charge unless it goes within that window. I do have a pending charge, so I assume if it doesn't hit within the window tomorrow I'll be refunded or if it hasn't posted they'll clear it. If neither happens then I'll call and sort it out.
