I'm in the same situation, no movement since the 9:20 ZhengZhou arrival - this is for a 256 Max Graphite. I also ordered 2 other 256 Max (Gold & Pacific Blue) at the same time, and those have already departed Anchorage this morning.

No biggie, I know they'll all get delivered Friday morning. But it just had to be the Graphite that has no movement - that's my phone; the other two are for kids that won't even be back home till next week lol

My 256 Max Graphite is still there too.
 
Something is going on in Alaska. the weather is looking very intense there right now. Many flights were delayed last night.

You are are suffering the same pain we suffered 2 weeks ago with our 12 Pros. We didn't see any movement out of China until late Wednesday and still we got our 12 Pros on release day ;) My 12 mini has been sitting in KY since Tuesday 12:30 am so basically the same.
The struggle is real haha. People that ordered the mini got very lucky this time. I think they were the first ones getting out of China and seeing the movement right away. All will be unveiled. We will know for sure why there was a delay in scanning and how some people left China and some people didn’t. Still have time..

I really do feel bad for the ZZ 9:20'ers.

There is a post here - God... about 30-40 pages back, screenshot of the tracking and same situation with iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12.

Pre-order Oct 16.
FINALLY left China WED. Oct 21.
Still Arrived on Fri, 10/23 release day.

I firmly believe this will happen!

Oh wow! Left almost 5 days later. That’s insane hahaha
 
More likely than not, the phones that have already arrived yesterday afternoon (like ours) are sitting in a secure customs area awaiting others to arrive as UPS knows there is no reason to rush them into their main sorting area/warehouse. It also allows customs officials to clear all of them at once and save time since they know these are very simple, secure items that do not need to be opened and checked.

Once it clears customs, the skids are moved into another warehouse where they are broken out and sorted for additional shipment. This is when either the entire skid or individual box is scanned for arrival in Louisville...right after customs clearance.
Oh yes for sure I suspect given past years that is totally correct, sometimes it is fast gets to Louisville late night or early AM goes right thru and then up road 3 hours to my home all in few hours other times it waits since it got to Louisville much earlier. Just curious if there is customs officials that do or monitor UPS employees scans, or if UPS just has standards and practices to classify and sort packages according to customs requirements. Simple things like sealed iPhones easy, others may require a customs official to be involved. More a matter of my own curiousity while I wait for my new phone....

What was your scan time? If it was around 2:30am, it's on this flight.
Why would his phone be going from Louisville to Anchorage?

Hope everyone has a great day. I'm off to Omaha in about an hour! (Where i live anyways, but just passing through for now). Will check in later and hope to see all with movement or in the US. 👍

It's Wednesday and both have not shipped, yet it still has Arrives Fri Nov 13 - can't see this happening now...

Your phone can get from China to you in 24 hours. If it’s says delivered on the 13th you’ll get it on the 13th. If you have UPS MyChoice you should be able to see it there. My still says preparing to ship on the Apple Store but I can see on MyChoice that it left Alaska at 2:34am.
