My 12's are on that ANC flight to SDF. No scan in from Louisville. But my delivery date was just updated to 10/23 (Friday). There ya go folks.

I know what's going on!

Camera pans onto the UPS Worldport Facility.

Bob: "Look, I don't know what to tell you. The plane was here."

George: "Why would the plane park on a giant sinkhole?"

Bob: "The hole wasn't there when the plane parked, fathead! I turned around to get a pen from the car, and that's when I heard the grinding."

George: "I really don't want to tell management about this...."

Cut to Samsung's interplanetary HQ, currently in geostationary orbit over Louisville

Exec: "Where did that plane go? Our teleportation ray was just about to obtain our new phones! We had the Samsung logo stickers ready to put on for release! Did Apple finally figure out our plans to copy them without actually copying?"

Cut to deep underground lair:

Mole man: "We've done it. We have enough phones for the entire mole man army, and we didn't even have to wait for launch day. Everyone, charge them up... Tomorrow we take the surface!"
...what did I just read?
 
Dare I dream? I mean this would just make my whole week if my phone magically showed up two days early. Such a small thing but such a huge impact on my mood it would have.

Maybe Apple is tracking this thread and found out... Told UPS not to scan into the systems. Maybe that’s why there’s a delay in scanning 👀
I think they're holding off working on it on purpose to make the Friday delivery. I just spoke to the UPS driver at my work and he said it's possible that they hold off working on a pallet if requested by the shipper to make a certain delivery date.
 
Tim is like your dad at Christmas after you have stopped believing in Santa Claus: the presents are all wrapped and sitting not very-well hidden in the hall closet. Despite all your hints and pleas... Nope, December 25 kids. Not a moment sooner. That plane from Alaska landed hours ago. UPS is under strict orders not to scan nary a box until that magical moment when the cargo will scurry to the four corners of the US to be delivered on October 23. (That's my take... I hope I'm mistaken... but I'm not)

This is what is happening with our iPhone's right now (from the above 2017 video) - taken off the pallets in Louisville and sorted at the special Apple sorting facility!

So Apple still says “preparing for shipment” with a delivery of Oct 23. I still haven’t received an email from them saying it has shipped. My UPS My Choice shows it as in transit and says the date is tentative. It also has a yellow sign and says “exception”. It hasn’t moved from zhengzhou since 10/18.
Should I be concerned?

Nope. It could sit without motion until you fall asleep Thursday night and be at your house the next day.

I called Apple about this. They said the servers are not working correctly. He said that you should go off what UPS is saying.
