Pretty annoying when you get up for 3am edt and still can't have it delivered on launch. Mine shows rescheduled however still showing 9-25. Expecting to wake up tomorrow and have that date change to 9-28.

Mine also still says 9-25.

If they used a third-party to clear customs this time and that causes us problems, people will be cranky.

"25/9-29/9" delivery window notwithstanding.

Well I have a more annoying story to share. My phone will not be delivered. So some may remember when preordering the girl wrote sweet instead of suite on my office address. Well she also forgot the company. The irony was we moved to that address this week and I knew so I used it as my delivery. Well the signage won't be ready for 2 weeks. Awesome.

So I use ups and update the delivery to a preferred destination which happens to be the ups store down the street from work. Something made me call today and sure enough the ups store selection was rejected. Back to my office address.

T mobile customer service says ups won't change it because apple said no altering addresses. BS. So I was told tonight if the ups guy or gal doesn't want to hunt for my non labeled office if will be rejected, tried again on Saturday ( um thanks) and then sent back to t mobile. Yippee.

Yep. Up until 3 hours ago it was today.

Not gonna lie, I'm pissed. Not at Apple...at UPS.

It doesn't, I excluded the part where I live that shows the adjusted delivery to end of day Sept 28.

2 hours ago it said yesterday. And I'd love to know why it's been sitting waiting for a broker for two days.

Mine is scheduled for Tuesday. I feel your pain. I'm just trying not to let it get me too worked up...

Looks good for Cubs, bad for iPhone. Hahaha, just changed to final. Oh well, you didn't really want to get the phone tomorrow did you...

Ugh. I've been counting down the hours to this phone. There are two potential saving graces. The wife gets home at 4:30 and it may not deliver until after. It's a non-direct signature. I don't have an official fedex tag so I wonder if a detailed, signed note on the door will work?

Well, the Friday thing doesn't help.

Pick any other day and a mess-up just costs 24 hours, not 72.

Still, even the updates could be off. My Mini 4 said delivery on the 22nd for the longest time, then showed up on the 17th.

My UPS story.

I seen on UPS.com that UPS now has things called Access points. I went to my local "The UPS Store" and the owner told me that the merchant has to support that and it has to be set up before hand. He also told me some other stuff that I did not know, like, UPS now has PO Boxes at there locations and if I were to get one it would be free for packages to be delivered there.

So, I then called 'UPS' 800 number and was transferred to a "UPS Apple Specialist". I was on hold for about 8 minutes [almost hung up because it was a silent line with no music and I thought the line was dead]. A very nice person came on the line and asked for my tracking numbers, which I gave, and had no problem having my iPhones held at the local "UPS Customer Center" [also called a distribution center]. After I hung up, about 2 minutes later, I received a phone call from my local distribution center who then confirmed the hold. I am going to pick up the phones at 10am in the morning.

I did all this because the UPS truck does not deliver to my house till "the end of the day" and that is always 8-9pm and I did not want to wait ALL DAY and then deal with the activation and restoring from back up so late.

I hope this info helps someone. Thanks

Well I heard back from a UPS rep on Facebook, once I have more information for the Canadians I'll update.

I get customs delays...but why have they had the phone since the 22nd, didn't start looking for a broker until the 23rd, and on the 24th at a few minutes past midnight it was waiting to clear the broker. Why is it taking a day each time? And why is it happening now and never with previous preorders?

I could have gotten one from my carrier faster.

Man I am in Joliet all the time. Last year right about this time, I was on my way back from Wrigley field and camped out at the Joliet Verizon store on Mall Loop Dr. for the hell of it and was first in line. That was a long, cold night.

Somewhat related: I've been in Chicago this week and went to Wrigley last night for the first time. That is one hell of an experience. I've never seen anything like it. The bars close to the park just packed like hell an hour before game time. During the game felt really tense as well. After went to a couple of places with my girl. Ended up at the Houndstooth Salon for a bit then over at BEER the rest of the night before we took an Uber to go get some food over at the Wiener's Circle. Great times.

Good point. Mine has also been sitting still since the 22nd. Wish apple pre orders would give Canadians an option to pick up in store
