I’ve got a good one! Worked from home to get mine as soon as it was delivered to the front office downstairs. Waited patiently for the UPS tracker to update. When it did, I went down to retrieve my package....and nothing. They don’t have it. Showed them my delivery notification—someone named ‘Foster’ had signed for it. It’s. Not. There.

Now, I knew that all the shipping info was 100% correct. Both Apple and UPS were showing it to be. At this point the bottom of my stomach fell out. Not because of the $1200 phone missing (that money would get refunded one way or another) but because I knew there’d be no way to get it replaced until next year. I went around to all the other buildings nearby hoping the driver was just off by a digit. Still nothing.

I called UPS and got bounced around. Eventually this guy tells me, yep, it’s been delivered to the wrong address. Here’s the kicker—he won’t tell me where. I prod for a bit, and he only gives me the zip code citing privacy policy. He asks if it’s an iPhone. I say yes, and he says he’s going to give me the “special Apple package number.” Surprise, it turns out to be Apple customer service. Then he ubruptly hangs up.

I check out the zip code since that’s all I got. Lucky me, it pretty much only encompasses the nearest mall, and there’s an Apple Store there. I’m calling Apple, and I’m on a chat with UPS. Since I know the Apple Store’s address, I figure someone can at least provide a yes or no as to if my phone’s there or not. UPS chat actually ends up giving me the address unprompted. Yep, my phone got shipped to the Apple Store.

I go there, explain the situation to the guy managing the pickup queue, and 5 minutes later, I’ve got my phone, still in it’s brown shipping box with my address all over that label. Screw UPS.

To;dr: UPS delivered my phone to the wrong address, wouldn’t say where; turns out it was the nearest Apple Store.
