Well it just updated to 2 business days earlier now. Instead of dec 24 to Jan 4 it’s now dec 22 to dec 31.
Slick wraps have a 60% off sale and I’m leaning towards getting the naked gloss wrap.
yeah that's kinda what I figured then.
anyway, now my order status on Apple shows delivery anywhere between December 9-16 sigh... I think that was the original date range but since my package wasn't delivered on the 30th and UPS is trying to look for it, Apple probably just reverted back to those dates.
That’s reassuring to hear. I spoke with them today and they opened an investigation which takes up to 12 DAYS if they find they need to send a replacement. Really hoping it doesn’t take that long tho.
I figured that unlocked 128gb gold model was probably in high demand; however, that over a week in customs thing seems out of the ordinary. Of course, we are in the middle of a pandemic tho sooooo lol
I’m located in the middle of the country so no matter where it arrives, it will be a tad longer. Northwest Arkansas to be exact.
Mine still showing Clearance in progress since 11/22...I think this is just the shipping industry is just overwhelmed right now. There are articles all over of how stressed the shippers are in the shipments coming into their system. International has to be the worst. WSJ had an article yesterday that UPS actually told some big companies (I remember Macy's, Nike among them) they will refuse any shipments from them for the next week until things get caught up!! That's unprecedented. So maybe patience is all we have to go on...
I work in logistics, so I understand backlog and delays. So I have no problem being patient. But when it missed the intended delivery date and no update for 6 days while UPS has an exception and trying to find it for 2 days I think mine is just lost lol
I'll give it another day or even till the weekend see if there's any update, otherwise I'll just ask for a refund and order it again for store pick anywhere within 30 miles, probably what I should've done in hindsight.

Glad to see I am not the only in suspense as to what is going on with this shipment. I am giving it till my new due dates 9 to 11 Dec. What I do have to do once I get it is call Apple and have them redo the apple care warranty since they were slick and started it 21Nov when it supposedly shipped. I am not giving up two weeks of coverage because they don't give you a day if it is expired.
Ordered a 12 Pro in Silver 512GB through WalMart.com (only site that had a decent ship time) on 11/29. On the day of order, arrival date was 12/7, on 11/30 it changed to an arrival date of 12/4 by EOD. It is shipping USPS which I find odd, and there’s hasn’t been a status update since 11/30 when it arrived at the City of Industry Sorting Facility at 6:42PM. Still has to make its way to Northern Arizona...
Well, what do you know, just like that, my UPS went from "Departed Anchorage 11/28" to "Exception: verifying the package location" (after I gave them a call yesterday), to now reflecting: "Import Scan Louisville", "estimated delivery 12/4", so tomorrow..
yeah, that is if it actually leaves Louisville today....
also, clearly this means it was in Louisville for like 5 days before getting noticed and then getting the import scan, so either it means they just simply misplaced the package and I had to call in order for them to find it in KY, or it's so immensely backed up in Louisville for sorting and customs clearance that you can expect like I did 5 days from time it left AK to even get an import scan in KY. Here's to hoping it actually leaves today and is in a truck tomorrow in my city.

You are lucky you even saw departing Anchorage lol. I went from leaving China to awaiting clearance with no location lol. I may have to call UPS today because usually when I go the extra step things start to happening again on its own.
Yours says it departed Shanghai? My clearance in China took 9 days.
Basically, it went from ZhengZhou to Shanghai on 11/20, it then sat in Shanghai until 11/29 (their time) when it finally reflected Departed Shanghai.
If yours says it departed Shanghai and nothing after, then I'd call UPS. How long has it been since it says it departed?
Keep in mind mine took until today to finally show up in KY after AK. So 5 days. So in total 16 days between China and US of just waiting to be processed.
No mine departed ZhengZhou on 11/21 and then 11/23 with no location listed and the message awaiting clearance to now "Brokerage agency released the package and it will processed through a clearing bla bla bla" but does not list a location.
yeah that's about the same time that mine took in clearance in China, if one thing seems to be consistent with us all, is the delays in China on the clearance. I have a Mac Mini that I'm suppose to get before Xmas, not holding my breath.
I would give it till next Monday, that would be basically 2 weeks, it should have at least some sort of update. Good luck!

My wifes 12 Pro Max just departed Zhengzhou and it is on it's way. Who know where lol either South Korea or staight to Anchorage.
ordered in 11/20/2020, shipped on 12/1/2020.

Well that pisses me off since mine has been sitting in ZhengZhou since 11/23.
Damn, sorry to hear that. What is your estimated delivery date? Is it passed? If so, contact Apple.
UPS originally said November 25th when it first shipped. Now it doesn't have a scheduled delivery ever since it got held up by customs, keeps saying to check back tomorrow. The original estimated delivery date from Apple was for Dec 10 - Dec 17 when I placed the order on 11/17. Then once it shipped it got changed to November 30th. Apple's page now just says "Arriving Soon".
I just tried both the matte and the gloss, and didn’t like the end product. Both skins seemed to degrade the phone’s finish and I threw both out. Maybe it’s the fact that the back of my phone is white, but with the skins on, the finish didn’t look even. In the past, I’ve always used the colored skins and that worked well with my previous SG phones, but if I had to keep looking at that uneven finish, I was going to go batty. If you go that route, I hope you have a better result than I did.
So for all who had a similar situation as mine where it has been awaiting clearance for like 10 days, i suggest calling ups international. They informed me that there was no incoming scan so it is considered missing and they are launching an investigation.
Thanks. I put in a lost claim on the UPS page, so hopefully they open an investigation.
