I have the same situation. Same date and text from UPS. UPS is now saying it will be delivered next Tuesday instead.

Same here. I have the exact same timeline. Our phones are on the same plane. Still stuck in Korea. I was kinda pissed this morning when I found out it was delayed till next Tuesday. Weekend ruined. LOL

Weird thing was I got a text it was scheduled for delivery tomorrow at 8:30 am, then an hour later another text that it was rescheduled for a 11/14 delivery. Now the UPS site is saying delivery date UNKNOWN.

Yup, are phones have to be on the same pallet. I got the exact same thing, and now an unknown...crap
 
Update: It looks like many Apple Stores have iPhone X available for in-store pick up this morning [Check iStock].

At 7:00a the iPhone X SG 256GB Verizon was available at the Saddle Creek Apple Store (Memphis), so I quickly canceled my online order (required to un-reserve your phone number) and purchased it for in-store pick up today. I'm getting it after work.

Good luck, everyone!

Yes. This was the case all over the country this morning. But most places all sold out again now at 12:00PM EST.

Very bizarre. Been sitting at Incheon since 11/7 @ 7:52pm. Just updated departed Incheon on 11/10 1:19a (my time today 11:19a EST). Looked on FlightAware for outgoing from Incheon at 1:19a and it seems my phone is now headed back to China. Shanghai, China to be exact.

My phone seems to be following Trump across Asia. First South Korea, and now Gi-nah.
 
Mine has been in Korea since the 7th with no movement. It was scheduled for delivery on the 10th but now got pushed back 5 days. It’s like intentionally slowing down to meet the original Apple delivery time...
Me to kinda sad
 
I had one phone ship late Tuesday, and the second ship later yesterday...it looks me like both are now in ZhengZhou waiting.

I guess its possible that they are simply waiting for a certain volume before they even leave China. That's ridiculous.
 
Just an update:

Ordered at ~12:17pst from Apple.com SG 246 ATT upgrade iPhone X

Card charged 99 this morning, no shipping notification yet just 'Preparing for shipment'

Return as normal but might get hit with a restocking fee. To ensure there is no fee you have to refuse the shipment. It will go back to Apple and everything will cancel out. You won’t be able to order a new phone on IUP during that period though.

Nonsense, Apple does not charge a restocking fee for returns.

thanks for the advice. and yeah, i've looked at CL and there are tons of x's for sale there. crazy. and it's silly that some are only asking $100 over the actual price of the phone..... i was expecting people to be charging a ton more - which i saw but this was a few days ago when supplies were even more constrained.....

i did it. i cancelled my order just now. will try to get in-store pickup sometime today or tomorrow ;)

wish me luck fam.

my status has been 'order in progress' since the 27th and i see so many people already got their phones so i took the risk and will try to secure one myself.

What about returning an order that has shipped and getting another one local?

Sams club is offering 250 gift card if you get an iPhone X on carrier payments. Right now I have one shipped to me but got delayed and won't be here until the 14th.

Can I get one setup with Verizon payments at sams club this weekend and then return the one I will get Tuesday?

Origial order via apple.com with verizon payments.

Might be different with Verizon, but AT&T wouldn't allow me to order a second phone knowing I had one on order via apple.com and AT&T next. I had to cancel my order first and then allow the database to catch up showing I didn't have an order.

Thanks, that's what I was afraid of. Tried calling apple but was on hold forever. Will try to call again later.
 
My CC just got charged, and the status changed to "Preparing to Ship" now.
Does anyone know how to get my tracking number through UPS website?
 
So order’s gotten this far as of right now. Any chance of it still being delivered by tomorrow (I live in the D.C. area) with overnight-ing it or is UPS probably just going to shoot for next Monday? I originally had a delivery date of the 10th but, like a lot of others, saw my delivery date get pushed back a few days after a delay in Incheon. Anyone know how long it generally takes after reaching Louisville?

Mine got pushed for delivery to Wednesday.... which sucks cause i have a dental appointment in NYC and won't be home...
I have to see when i need to leave/be home for pickup at the local hub....
Anyone pay for the faster shipping? Normally I've gotten apple products from China within a day or two...
Also, it seems to be a second wave of release. instead of a steady flow of ordered being received.

Apple stores in Manhattan NY show that they have all models in stock and available for order and in store pick-up tomorrow for Verizon models. Must have just received a delivery this evening.

thank you for this post and for the other one in which you posted pics of the availability. because of this and another post, i cancelled my order earlier and will try to reserve one in store. wish me luck! also in the nyc area so i will be diligent!
 
Preordered a 64gb Silver on launch day. Ordered was being processed for shipment on 11/6/2017 and expected delivery date was 11/10/2017. Earlier today, I got an email stating expected delivery date is now 11/15/2017 and now I am getting a "Scheduled delivery information is not available at this time. Please check back later." a few hours later.
