Anyone else still stuck in Hong Kong? I am assuming UPS flight 59 has some phones on it.

Well it only goes to Ontario Int. While 63 that left hour before it from Hong Kong ends up after Anchorage at Louisville. It is possible there are phones there but betting on 63 for ones that showed in scans today from Hong Kong even if ours did not show in the mass scan.

My phone showed up on UPS My Choice yesterday but I've yet to get a shipping notification from Apple. My phone is set to arrive Friday. The trouble is, we're going out of town.

For anyone who may know, how much time does it realistically add to change your delivery to a UPS store or pick up location? When I went to My Choice and saw what changing the option does, it says the new estimated delivery to the nearby UPS Store would be Monday. That seems a little excessive to take it to a location about a mile from my home.

We will be back home Saturday and I'd ideally love to get the phone then!

They really mean it when they say it'll be delayed until Monday if it's sent to a UPS Store: the stores are open on Saturday, but UPS won't deliver your package to the store until Monday. It'd be a rare exception if it was available for pickup at a store on Saturday.

Any chance that a neighbor would take it off of your porch and keep it safe until you get home?

I was out of town for two weeks when Directv finally decided to ship my Apple TV: I gave my tracking number to a good friend who got it off my porch quickly after delivery. Hope it works out for you.

Has anyone gotten a Departure Scan out of Hong Kong today? Two planes left this morning going to ANC and then on to Louisville and Ontario. I (rather my phone) have been sitting in Hong Kong for a couple of days

I hope you are right.. If not, we will have to wait tomorrows flight in the AM... Last year my iPhone managed to get to Florida from Asia in around 36 hours if I am not mistaken...
Customs. There’s no reason to rush them this early. On delivery day, they clear customs ~2am and still make connecting flights and truck deliveries.

Sitting in S. Korea with you guys.
Mine is sitting in South Korea but Deliveries thinks it's in Japan. Maybe its on a day cruise. Not gonna complain. It's moving at least. Now if I can only get Amazon to leave deliveries on my doorstep I'll be in good shape.

Since Monday I’ve had nothing but a label created. Then suddenly last night at 1am it refreshed with everything all at once. By Shenzhen time this was 48 hours ago and no updates since then.

Same issue here. Deliveries says on their website that they use the Apple Maps location detection service and it is sometimes off when the location isn't specific or overly complicated (like in this case). You can actually drag that pin to the correct location and Deliveries will remember that for future packages.
 
Hey. I am not a paid member of My Choice but to change the address to a nearby UPS Store it says I don't have to be. Thank you for the promo codes though. I just mainly wanted to know if it would really take till Monday for them to drop the phone off at the store a mile away if I do change the delivery to there.
I’d call the the store. They ought to know from history where they are in the logistics schedule. My experience is they tell you one day later than actual ( with my store).

Yep mine did not update today like some did (probably UPS 63), and I have been there now, since 8:30 PM on the 17th (local Hong Kong time).

just got this text .. but no change to any of the tracking on UPS... 210 ZZ

Yikes this is me too (I didn't get a text but I'm not signed up). Usually I default to "Apple gets it done" but not a good sign. Kind of inexplicable why people who ordered seconds after launch would have products just sitting for several days without movement.
