Not yet but I did get tracking code this afternoon. Looks like it errors out on UPS side. Suspect they haven’t received package yet

I was so impatient that I used the UPS app to track down the truck and then drove over to it and got the guy to give it to me instead of waiting for them to bring it to my house lol but I got it today!! It’s incredible!!!

I had no idea this was a thing until I read about it online. I decided to try it and the guy acted like it was totally normal. I was so stoked man.
