In response to an X post from someone wondering if we'll see...

I really have to stop clicking the refresh button on the tracking number ... kills my productivity today (but it still has no tracking info, seems only the label is printed) .... hope it updates soon, don't want to click refresh every 10min until Friday :-)
Found out this morning that either Apple or UPS input the wrong state for my address. One misplaced keystroke will keep me form getting my phone on Friday. :(
They probably hired Thomas Callahan from the brake pad division. He is unfamiliar with those two letter codes
