Mine as well. I think we’re on the UPS 2996: http://bit.ly/2zBXwla (Flightaware link). Leaves in about 5 hrs from now.... hopefully.

At least we may get our iPhones sometime in the next 48 hours for sure but sooner than later is preferred.
[doublepost=1510629388][/doublepost]Actually I am hoping for anything before Thursday (16th) if possible. I think it may turn out arriving on Wednesday (15th) for me is my guess. But I wish Vinom, will be correct and I get mine tomorrow. Though I think that may be a miracle for that to happen.
 
It looks like mine is finally on fairer shores. Hoping it arrives tomorrow or NLT Wednesday.

I am in DEN anybody have an idea which routing city mine would go through?

Everything from Alaska goes to UPS WorldPort in Louisville to be sorted on the flight to DEN. Look at flights out of SDF and you'll see the feeder flights outbound around 2-4am.

Mine already departed ANC so it should already be on its way there.
 
Got an email from UPS that it should be delivered tomorrow!!!! I placed a hold to pick up at my local hub.

Can anyone clarify what is happening to my order?

I decided I’ll pick my order up at my local UPS centre since I wont be home from Nov.16-17 and it was showing delivery Nov.16.

After changing it to pick up, it showed pick up date of Nov.17. I cancelled it within a minute. Now its been stuck on “delivery information not available” and it shows “exception”. It arrived in Louisville couple hours ago.

Any chance of this status changing and showing me my new delivery date since it has arrived in Louisville now.

So my phone has been in Zheng Zhou, since the 8th. Just today, on the 13th, still in Zheng Zhou, at 2:43 PM the phone was released by the clearing agency.

WTF is that? WTF does it take 107 hours to clear Agency Review?

Did anyone else have this? Should I just through the phone away, return it, as some POS tampered tech?

Well anyway, what appeared to be a slight bump in delivery turned out to be a big nothing doodoo, because it will deliver on the 16th or 17th, supposedly, and I can't complain to Apple until the 25th, because it's still in the delivery window.

This wouldn't have worked for me. My problem was with Apple Pay stuck on my work address instead of home address, in Safari. On my phone App didn't come up for several minutes after Safari, Apple Pay worked fine from the iPhone Apple Store app.

I had everything lined up, but you can't test the "actual" purchase before hand. I believe it's BS, to be able to choose the iPhone X and authenticate with your phone provider, before the the store goes off line. It stops well before then. You can only choose the phone, Apple Care+ and your payment path. Once the store goes back on-line, you are presented with accessories, and then the option to pay.

I think saving the last page, where you are forced to stop, is a good idea, but you cannot do that on the Apple Store App.

All I see are a bunch of people's phones get through Agency Review within hours, but get stuck in Korea...

I want to blame Trump for all this... Nothing seemed to move since he's been there.
 
Mine is suppose to come Tuesday and I paid for the 2 hour delivery window so that I don't have to sit around all day. I like that feature.

Fingers crossed I get a mint condition phone and I can adapt to the narrow screen.

Can someone explain Agency Review?

My phone went through Agency Review while in Zheng Zhou, and others while in Incheon.

One is in China, and the other is in Korea. So what gives?
 
If it is in Alaska, it should get it within the next 48 hours (depends where you live and capacity issues). Wed looks feasible.
Once it leaves Anchorage it goes very fast -- 24 to 48 hours

It'll be here tomorrow. This evening UPS changed my delivery to Tuesday the 14th. Was originally promised by Apple when I ordered Nov 17-24. Then it sat in Korea for several days, and it changed to "unknown". On Sunday Apple said the 16th. On Monday morning UPS changed it to the 16th. Then later in the day on Monday UPS got a hold of it, and it changed again to Tuesday the 14th.

So overall, three days earlier than originally promised ship date, and two days earlier than the delayed date from sitting in Korea for 5 days. Overall, not too bad.

Looking on the positive side!

No clue because neither are U.S. customs pre-clearance points. Sometimes UPS does not post actions in chronological order due to the time differences.
 
Really confused on this... Any help deciphering this?

Hello Everyone, I am a newbie here,

I have ordered an iPhone X, 256 GB, Silver online on 11/09 and getting the estimated delivery date within 12/11- 12/18 by standard shipping. As I am living in Pakistan, I am getting my phone delivered to my cousin's place who lives in Ohio & is visiting me on 12/14, he will probably leave his house for the airport on 12/12.

Before placing an order, I saw the estimated shipping time which is 3-4 weeks, so I thought that my phone would arrive on or before 12/09 which exactly completes 4 weeks from 11/09 but Apple has confirmed 12/11 - 12/18. I am afraid if my cousin misses to receive the parcel.

I have heard from people that Apple Orders are usually shipped & received earlier than their estimated delivery dates. Has anyone experienced it?

thanks

Same route for me. Here today!

Okay. Finally my UPS My Choice updated this am. From sitting in ZhengZhou after first SHIPPED notice from Apple a week ago - with various cryptic messages about Agency reviewing... but still a delivery date of Nov 15... it has changed this am to DEPARTUTE SCAN ... and the message in my text of an UPDATED DELIVERY time from Nov 15 to Nov 17 between 2:30-6:30pm.

So 2 more days to wait beyond the original message.. Never happened to me before. But pre order night I was promised a delivery date of Nov17-24. And they're gonna keep that promise. So I can't complain too much I guess. I'll have it for the weekend.

I guess it's my turn to watch the Incheon, Anchorage, Louisville run! See if mine gets stuck too..

Anyone else get an update this am from Nov 15-Nov 17?

Same for me. Finally I've got an update today and now it is in Incheon. It's been seating in ZhengZhou for almost 5 days. Let's hope it doesn't take long to leave Incheon. I was promised a delivery date of Nov17-24 as well, and as you said, I can't complain too much, but it is still frustrating to see some iPhones that were supposed to be delivered in December, been delivered before ours.
