Apple Cell Phones Contests iPhone — 16 June 2009
When Will My iPhone 3GS Arrive? Take A Guess And You Could Win Something

iphone-3gs-ups-tracking

Will my iPhone 3GS arrive by Friday, June 19th?  Based on UPS tracking – it’s currently in Alaska – I’m saying ‘yes’, but Apple’s initial email notification said that it would arrive by June 22nd, well behind the official launch date.  What do you think?  Take a guess to when my iPhone will arrive and I’ll send one lucky commenter a gadget of some sort (yes, you’ll have to wait to see what I send you).

Update: Checkout Joe’s last comment.  He says that he ‘just got off the phone with UPS International Services and she said that they are trying to work with apple to have the packages released cause they dont have alot of room to hold them but she said Guaranteed friday 19th and the end of business day’.  Thanks for the update Joe.

Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."

    I guess Saturday June 20.

    Definitely on Fri. I honestly think that the confirmation emails are automatically generated and they put a date based on when you place the order but will probably ship early to get the 3Gs to people by the June 19th.

    If you live on the West Coast, then Thursday (6/18). For all other U.S. locations, then Friday (6/19).

    I have been tracking mine and it says it will be delivered tomorrow. Check the screenshot attached. I am sure you will get yours on the 19th.

    Tough call not knowing where you live. However, I would think that UPS would not have a problem getting to most locations in the United States within about three days. I would say there’ s a good chance that you will get it Friday, Monday at the latest.

    My guess is….the late 18th, early 19th (this counts as a day, because it’s a 24-hour period haha)….If it’s in Alaska, it will be flown to their main hub overnight tonight….then tomorrow, it will be processed, and sent out on a truck to your area. Now depending on how far away you are from Kentucky, thats where it gets tricky. I’m in Illinois. So it take’s one day to get to my area. And it usually only takes a shift to proccess it and have it truck ready. But you can guess yourself. How many days do you think it would take a trucker to drive from Kentucky, to the state you live in? then add one day to that. and thats when it will arrive…..im looking forward to my gadget.

    okay mine as of now is being held in Louisville, Kentucky. i just got off the phone with UPS International Services and she said that they are trying to work with apple to have the packages released cause they dont have alot of room to hold them but she said Guaranteed friday 19th and the end of business day. So she said if its in Louisville it will ship to Minneapolis thursday night (or wherever you live) then be delivered guaranteed end of the day friday.

      Thanks Jack. I haven’t seen any updates on my UPS shipment page yet, which has me a little concerned and thinking my 3GS won’t show tomorrow.

    I think tomorrow for sure! UPS says mine’s in Alaska too. (fingers crossed)

  • kevin mongru

    all next day air east coast packages hub at kentucky before delivering the next day befor 1030 am
    hope this answers your question

    even if u ship from new york nda it still goes all the way to kentucky and back on a plane again back to ny

    ups is weird
    but thats their most cost efficient approach

  • kevin mongru

    btw it has cleared customs or else the shipement wouldnt be moving on the “house level” and it would have been moving in bulk (master) still…. any shipement in kentucky will be delivered early tomorrow morning…. it has finished the linehaul from china to alaska already

    what do we win?

  • Karen

    Mine is scheduled to be delivered today, it is already in my hometown waiting for delivery. My guess…it will arrive today June 19, 2009.

  • Christie
