That said, I doubt most of the people that say they are getting their phones tomorrow. My tracking number says that, but it also says that it was in Hong Kong this morning. Somehow I doubt it goes from China to a delivery truck on the east coast of the US in under 24 hours. I think a lot of these delivery estimates will be updated tomorrow.]]>Jun 16th 2009 2:53PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/16/some-iphone-3g-s-orders-set-to-be-delivered-tomorrow/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/16/some-iphone-3g-s-orders-set-to-be-delivered-tomorrow/

Something else to note, UPS delivery is the 17th, estimated date by Apple was 19th, and when looking at the email updating me about shipment from Apple, it says Delivers By: Jun 22, 2009. So I honestly have no idea what to think, but I would be pretty excited if it shows up tomorrow!]]>Jun 16th 2009 5:15PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/16/some-iphone-3g-s-orders-set-to-be-delivered-tomorrow/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/16/some-iphone-3g-s-orders-set-to-be-delivered-tomorrow/Jun 16th 2009 5:42PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/16/some-iphone-3g-s-orders-set-to-be-delivered-tomorrow/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/16/some-iphone-3g-s-orders-set-to-be-delivered-tomorrow/Jun 16th 2009 5:43PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/16/some-iphone-3g-s-orders-set-to-be-delivered-tomorrow/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/16/some-iphone-3g-s-orders-set-to-be-delivered-tomorrow/Jun 16th 2009 6:36PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/16/some-iphone-3g-s-orders-set-to-be-delivered-tomorrow/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/16/some-iphone-3g-s-orders-set-to-be-delivered-tomorrow/Jun 16th 2009 7:06PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/16/some-iphone-3g-s-orders-set-to-be-delivered-tomorrow/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/16/some-iphone-3g-s-orders-set-to-be-delivered-tomorrow/Jun 16th 2009 10:34PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/16/some-iphone-3g-s-orders-set-to-be-delivered-tomorrow/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/16/some-iphone-3g-s-orders-set-to-be-delivered-tomorrow/Jun 17th 2009 12:49AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/16/some-iphone-3g-s-orders-set-to-be-delivered-tomorrow/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/06/16/some-iphone-3g-s-orders-set-to-be-delivered-tomorrow/
The plot thickens. After mine shipped it stated 6/17 for delivery. I knew that was impossible.

Later after it was in Hong Kong it showed 6/18. I felt that was more plausible, especially after I saw that later in the day it was in Anchorage. I was hopeful. Even later it showed it left Anchorage!

Now UPS has an exception (see below). It says the receiver requested a hold on delivery. I did not! I called UPS and they said it might have something to do with customs as they clear in Kentucky, not Anchorage.

I told her an alternate view. One where Apple is throwing its' weight around and telling UPS to hold all the iPhones until 6/19. She agreed that that is possible since Apple does so much business with UPS. So we will probably never know the real story.

Since I can post an image, here is the text from the UPS tracking:

But seems some people get tracking info already. Is my order being hold?
