Mine must still be in China, UPS took away all the info of movement that had been there onthe evening of the 27th. But did get notification of Apple sending out the box for my trade in and will have that tomorrow.

My 14 PM Silver has had 8 time stamps since its original scan two days ago, all saying basically the same thing... "Your package is in transit and we're updating plans to schedule your delivery". 8 TIMES! It's still in ZhengZhou. I have no idea when it will arrive and it's driving me nuts! I just want to know when to be home. Hoping for an update with movement by tonight.
Basically, the same story here although mine doesn't have quite as many updates as yours. My delivery date in UPS shows 10/3, but is still stuck in China: "Your package is pending release from a Government agency..."

I don’t even have a delivery date, mine was released from Gov. agency but still hasn’t left China, it was released by Gov. agency yesterday morning. Starting to think they are lost

It’s really irritating that it is looking like I will get my trade in box before I even get my phone! This has been my worst iPhone purchase experience. Think I will go back to buying from my carrier next time

I think mine is right there with yours. I will never go back to Verizon to purchase (not going to play the games they play with needing to upgrade) but with that being said. Had I did the pre order prior to the 9th and had the purchase go through very early in the morning on the 9th I would have received 2 weeks ago like the others. It was the delay of sitting on the fence deciding if I wanted to trade in my 13PM, By the time I decided mid morning the dates were out 3 weeks which was not a surprised seeing how it has been in the past years. While UPS took away the updates and dates, Apple still shows delivery by Tuesday October 4th and I expect that will be true. My guess is everything could update tonight and may actually get the phone on Monday.

Same situation, I'm beginning to think it's lost too. Looked at a bunch of others' shipment details, it should've left China to Korea by 2 days after it made to the UPS hub in Zhengzhou China.

I'm going to sound like a total brat for saying this, but I don't know about the silver. Something about it isn't hitting right with me.

Damn that's what I ordered. How bad is it.
A lot of people are saying it looks more white, but it still has that dingy off white shade of previous years. The fingerprints aren’t as bad as I thought they would be, but the contrast between the band and the “white” is quite jarring. It also doesn’t help that I started to regret my decision when I watched a space black video.

Mine was actually released by gov on the 26th so I don’t know what the hold up is but it is frustrating

Well I have the space black Galaxy S21 Ultra. And I'm kind of bored of it. Plus if you get a scratch on the back side, it shows due to black and white scratch contrast.

Don’t think you are lost this pretty normal tracking I saw with my phone that arrived on 16th. those are normal scans mine took 3 days in that area so you should not worry yet

That customs/arrival as UPS hub at airport after label applied at factory is pretty normal took me three days before it actually left on flight.

Call Apple and request them to mark the shipment being lost and immediately ship you a phone from US using UPS Overnight Early AM with maybe a few accessories thrown in for free for the trouble.

I know its a big task to look back at the scans we experienced on opening day shipments and after but just to alleviate your worries but the whole process from label created to departure for Korea took almost 3 days for me as one of the opening day shipments that came on 9/16. Annotated For your reference.

Ordered 9/16, original delivery window was 10/17 - 10/24.

Got the shipping notification late last night for 10/5 delivery. Now it’s saying 9/30. 🤷🏻‍♂️

You won't get it on sep 30 bud. I got the initial scheduled delivery for tomorrow. It was shipped 2 days ago from China. Now there's no date. By default UPS Worldwide Express Saver has a 2 business day guarantee from China to US. But I guess that guarantee is not for iPhones. Soon you'll see what I mean.

So I just got notification from FedEx that my trade in box will be here tomorrow and yet my iPhones have not left china and have no delivery date! Will ups deliver these on a Saturday or will we have to wait for Monday if they leave china soon?

Same boat as you. Hopefully tomorrow we see movement.
