Here's a strange picture: UPS says it will deliver on time. But, the last updated status is from China. I sense 24th Century tech at play.

that's exactly what mine says.

remember that at the point in Hong Kong, the shipment still had to cross the international date line, so it's probably a lot farther along than the progress suggests. I'd imagine sometime soon we'll get an update of them being received in alaska.

LOUISVILLE,
KY, US 06/18/2009 11:34 P.M. IMPORT SCAN


yay!

i just got this. import scan is probably when they scan it to get on the plane or something like that. each time the package is moved in or out of a facility, it gets scanned and updated.

sounds to me like it means they just received it in the country.

could be wrong, though.
it comes into the US from Alaska, since it somes from China. The import scan has nothing to do with customs. it could just mean imported into their system in KY.

My iPhone arrived in Louisville on June 16th, and has had the 'delayed delivery' message since that time. It just now updated to 'import scan'.
I have 2 phones, white and black 32gb that updated also to both show import scans within a few minutes of each other... and a rescheduled delievery of June 19th.. It has been going back and forth between no delivery day and the 19th for the last couple of days... Who knows, but I'll be waiting by the door tomorrow to tackle my UPS driver... :laugh2:

Me too. I will probably hug the guy. I'm checking on the tracking status over the next couple hours and see if it changes. It might give the arrival next :)

I'm in Southern California and UPS usually delivers in the afternoon in my neighborhood. I have a feeling with the large amount of deliveries it might be early evening. I will be watching like a hawk all day though for UPS.

The Express service through UPS says those are delivered between 10:30-12pm... but wouldn't count on it....
