Woke up super early to grab an X. Had to rush and cancel my previous pre-order but was able to snag a pick up order today for 230pm EST.
Got a tip for us?

The shipment that left Korea last night still isn't showing as arriving anywhere ... trying to remain calm
My phone is on the flight that supposedly left Korea yesterday at 8:15Am local time.
I did notice, looking at the UPS app, it no longer says “In transit: On Time”. It just says “In transit”
If (and it’s a big if) our phones were on 5X99 last night then ups did not scan them when they got to ANC. That flight continued on to SDF and is due to land there about 8:30EST.
I am extremely pessimistic about UPS’ ability to deliver this phone as promised on Monday

Mine was showing expected delivery of Monday (tomorrow) with some initial early tracking details of China/SK.
Now it simply says “Clearance in Progress” with all of the previous information wiped and no estimated delivery. Anyone know what is going on?
Thank you!

Mine is in a similar situation - but still says In Transit: On Time. I'll assume the plane made it ok and just the scans are a bit late, no need to stress
Beyond stressed! “Xanax is your friend” stressed

I just hate having someone tell me one thing, then clearly it isn’t going to happen.
All the while I could just walk over to the Apple store and get one—- but I can’t because one the iUP phone ships you can’t take it back. You’re just screwed and have to wait for it.
Ticks me off beyond all belief at the incompetence of UPS that so many people’s phones got stuck in Korea for days and days without any movement—all the time UPS saying “on time.” Now that their blundering is clear all they’ve done is take the “on-time” off of the tracking..... no apology, no reparations, no nothing.
My wife’s phone showed up on time and went through Hong Kong. If it had gone through there I’m sure we would have had our phones tomorrow.... but some idiot in Korea screws up, keeping phones sitting there for almost three days and we all suffer for it

You keep saying there’s “no way” like you can see into the future. I’d bet money you’ll have your hands on the phone tomorrow.
The plane went from KR to Alaska, and it lands in Louisville in 5 minutes. I’m no expert, but why would they scan everything on the plane if it only stopped in Alaska for a refuel?
Yep. My iPhone “just” updated to arrival and departure from anchorage. They are doing their paperwork now.
It was more like 2 hours. I am guessing a refuel, plane check and crew swap. But yea, I guess they skipped the scanning of the packages.
Well, that’s it! These UPS Jerks have now screwed us out of Monday!!!!!! Now says “rescheduled delivery: Nov 7”
Only shows leaving Anchorage last night at 7:18pm.

This is ****ing ridiculous. I ordered within 1 minute of the site going live and haven't heard a damn thing. People have gotten theirs already by walking into stores and yet the 17-24 people are left high and dry
Look on the bright side. Had they been super accurate, you would still be looking at another two weeks.

Are you west coast or east coast. That might be the difference. Mine still shows tomorrow by end of day.
I got charged for the full amount yesterday morning, but still no change in my status - still showing Nov 17-24. I was hoping I could get it tomorrow, but doesn't seem like it.
My phone went to four different states in the 12 hrs leading up to when it was supposed to be available for pickup at a cc. I didn’t see it move till 6 hours before pick up time. It was still here at pickup on 11/3.
