"Your phone will be delivered on Oct 22"

By delivered does that mean it will be at my house or leave UPS that day?

Delivered.

**crizza** · 09-23-2008, 03:18 PM

So it will be at my doorstep on the 22?

Yeah, if you think about it, "delivered" is ambiguous. "Oh yeah, we delivered it today" can mean it left the warehouse today. I think the most common and accepted definition though is have it on your doorstep.

It's really not ambiguous to me... ? "SHIPPED" can be ambiguous, but in the shipping process, shipping is leaving, and delivered is receiving.

Yeah, now that I think about, I think you are right. Heh, there's a reason I'm an engineer and not a writer. I expect to have the phone in my grubby little hands on the 22nd.

I use to be UPS Management, Delivered mean at your door step

I sure hope they require a signature to deliver the G1

It also says the delivery date is "estimated" and the actual date "may vary."

TMO is usually pretty good about getting stuff out quickly. When the Sidekick 3 dropped I called and ordered it earllly in the morning the day it came out (I was working at 4am at that time.) And it got there the very next day with regular shipping.

I expect to get it on (or even before) the 22nd.

I recently ordered the Sidekick 2008 and it required a signature from my building manager, so I presume the same will be necessary for this.

UPS has instructions on shipments sometimes to not deliver a product to the store till the night before or the day of.

They have them in a gated area usually to protect them, although we still had a problem with iPods getting stolen all the time before.
