I’m really sorry about your lack of progress. You are always such a leader here with all your encouragement for others and tracking flights. I hope you get to have some of the excitement come your way tomorrow. You deserve that. At least you can be sure you’ll receive your phone on Friday in Las Vegas!

Thank you @CarolG I really appreciate your kind words. It really means a lot to me. Tomorrow is a new day. It'll be my last day in China.

What's your status now?

Nah, I’m a long time user since Cingular days iPhone 3G! I believe 2008 was the year.

Plus, I was here for the Pro model launch and ordered a Pro model. Long time user.

I am also starting to lose hope of an on-time arrival.

It is Wednesday.

My UPS says "in transit."

My apple store app says "preparing to ship."

I have also made a deal to sell my old phone for the weekend so I am worried about that now being in jeopardy as well. :(

You will get it! We all will! Tracking this time of year is like an over flirtatious partner. You just can’t trust em. Lol

My iPhone left Anchorage 11/10 @12:24 AM. I’m assuming since it left AK it is hanging out in KY by now? You’ll be there soon.

Not a dumb question. I'll never understand why these aren't already in the US by Pre-order time.

If I were a betting man, I would say it’s because of the money. Storage costs are much cheaper in China than the US. Apple production line will minimize the time between rolling off that line and into the consumer hands. It costs dollars to have a massive stockpile roll off the production line early and spend a week in storage in the US.

Ordered my iPhone 12PM on day 1 but it has not shipped yet 🧐. It is still supposed to be delivered on Nov 13th... Patiently waiting...
 
Current update: I strongly believe 9PM crew is at the famous Cargolux Airlines International 9763. It is a very long flight almost 9 hours to go! Ya'll should see your scans in the morning - Alaska. Welcome to American Soil!!! Happy and Safe Travels.

I'm sure everything is fine. We go through all this every year and it works out. My order still says "Preparing to Ship" but the phone has already starting moving. I've gone through this so many times I don't worry any more. I've always gotten my new iPhone on the day stated by Apple.

I’m so sorry. If it’s any consolation my moms iPhone 12 Pro didn’t show leaving China but just out of nowhere showed it showing up at Kentucky. Maybe it didn’t switch yours over, I hope that’s the case and it’s on the way over with mine.

Thank you for sharing that. There's hope. Maybe tomorrow morning I will wake up with some good news.

Wow. so just now I got a UPS My Choice email from a package that I am receiving from Macy's and lo and behold they have the tracking info for my iPhone 12 Pro Max :D
(for some reason i was thinking iPhones still shipped via FedEx, but that probably hasn't been the case for many many years.)

Tracking says it currently Departed from Facility in Anchorage Alaska on 11/10/2020 at 12:24AM.

I have been in this exact same spot, multiple years. It will happen! But it’s easy to get frustrated.

I need to go back and look at my old posts and laugh about the horrors I wrote about.
Without looking back, does anyone recall if it was the XS launch that had so many of us T-Mobile buyers in a tizzy?? I wanna say it was that one, but they all run together.
 
Wondering if Pro Max will be shipped from the Netherlands to EU countries, delivery Friday, but still getting ready for dispatch 🤔
