After 24+ hours of no movement in ZengZhou, there's movement again for my shipment which is now in South Korea. UPS has updated the schedule delivery date from 11/15 to "information is not available at this time". Hopeful that it will be in Alaska tomorrow, although I'm not sure if packages move on the weekend? I'm assuming they don't.
Then you'd be wrong. :) UPS moves shipments 24/7. They don't deliver on weekends (Saturday deliveries for other services or exceptions for these being the exception), but they certainly move cargo on the weekends.
 
What is up with the delay in shipment? Anyone have ideas? is its Trumps mouthing off about asia? :eek:

Well at 9am it said the plane had a mechanical failure and delivery has been rescheduled till the next business day. Plane has landed in houston already. If it gets to my hub today, I’m gonna call and see if I can pick it up instead. It’s only 15 minutes away.

Mine finally updated after sitting in Korea for a cpl of days. Was scheduled for Monday and now for Wednesday. Love delays....

That really pisses me off. I have two scheduled, once for Tues, and one for Wed, and neither has left Zhengzhou yet! A good chance I'm going to see delays.

This is just nonsense.

:rolleyes: if you paid any attention you'd know he's on extremely good terms with China, Japan and South Korea.

But why should facts muddle frivolous Trump bashing.

My order is also still sitting in ZhengZhou for 3 days now. UPS says no delivery date available now after 11/14 originally. Apple website says 11/17 already (do they know more about he delay than UPS?).

I presume there’s no delivery STOP order based on the reports of GLOD (green line on display), so hopefully it will keep moving. Just means I won’t get it for a further 2 weeks after delivery due to travel to Europe - “bummer”.

that stop would be extremely detrimental to apple. but luckily, % wise and report wise, this is a small population of users (for now) that have already gotten their phones. unfortunately we dont know that % bc we dont know how many phones apple shipped....
 
Anyone ever use UPS Follow my Delivery where you can see the real time location of the truck? Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see the option (and I'm a MyChoice member)
 
I ordered a 256GB iPhone X Space Grey AT&T through the Apple store, confirmation email came to me at 12:10am PST on release day, paid in full and I showed 11/17-11/24 delivery window upon order. Here is my status now…

Looks like my 256g SG is on the same skid as yours in Incheon. Both UPS flights to Anchorage left hours ago and there’s no other UPS flights scheduled from Incheon today or tomorrow. Got to hope we made the last flight and status will be updated in Anchorage otherwise we’re stuck in Korea this weekend. Seems to be too many phones chasing fewer planes :(
 
My phone is stuck in Korea since 11/8. Is there any chance that this is not true? I wish my phone is at least flying!
 
Turns out F5'ing the UPS page is not helping my phone leave ZhengZhou, China. It's been sitting there without any movement for over 24 hours now. Not the end of the world, but definitely different experience than previous product launches where once the credit card was charged, the shipment started moving very quickly.

Still ahead of original delivery estimate of 11/17-11/24, but curious that it's just sitting there.
My phone is with yours... Same scan times and locations. ETA 14th, end of day.

You can only do that option once it is on the truck. When mine was finally out for delivery (nothing for 2 hours while it sat in the truck to go out for deliver) I got a email and there was a link to use it and it worked well, very interesting to follow it learned a lot that morning thought would not see til after business customers but he had a bunch of overnights at homes including my neighborhood so I got mine at 9 AM. anyway it works well
 
I ordered an iPhone X with 256GB Silver along with a case. My case had a delivery date of Nov 14-21. I just got notified that it was preparing for shipment. Now I see it has shipped already arriving tomorrow. So That means it was in the USA already the case that is. My iPhone X is scheduled for Nov 17-24 range. So wonder if my iPhone will ship earlier as well. Anyway not too much longer...

I ordered a case as well, and got it Nov 1. The case and phone are completely separate and do not indicate one way or an other a surprise delivery for your phone.
 
Depending on when they release the new phone next year, I may not have the option. I’m on IUP which means if it comes out in September I should theoretically have to wait a couple months for the new hotness.

That said I wonder if they’ll allow the IUP people to upgrade on day 1 anyway since this year was an outlier in terms of release dates. ‍♀️
My guess is that they will.
 
I was 17-24 and I cancelled my order yesterday bc there was zero progress since the night of preorders. Status was still "Order in progress" for 2 weeks + now so I took the risk and cancelled my order. I'm a gambling man! Will try to secure one on my own as countless others have done successfully.

I tried doing this... SATURDAY There was a phone, my config, at my local store. I should have purchased for pickup, right then and there. I instead decided to go to the Apple Store... Within the 10 minutes between leaving the house and getting to the store, it was gone. I learned a lesson. That was my one and only chance. The only thing that has come up since then, was the 64GB models.

I debated going 64GB. I could have done it, needs over wants. However was convinced to stick with 256GB.

I am disappointed there wasn't a 128GB model. Last year it was 128GB/256GB. It's messed up that this year it's 64GB/256GB. I know the up-sell factor. $999/$1099/$1199 seems to better to me. At least Apple split the cost of 256GB upgrade with us, at $1149.
