Still in Incheon, too. Dying for some movement!
Same, though not worried about it. We'll still get it Friday. I'm just interested in the logistics involved in dealing with the millions of orders they get. I feel that's more innovative then the phone lol.
Departed Anchorage, AK at 11:15pm last night (09/18/2018). 512gb Max Gold 
Oh no, it actually posted a while ago, I believe. I just forgot about it (busy at work) and got excited all over again when I re-realized that it’d moved. Lol.
Sounds like a logical explanation as to why- only info that I'm seeing is the order number. How and where do I find and incorporate the reference and my phone number?
You can use your order number minus that last 2 numbers as a reference number. Input it on the UPS tracking site
Ditto. Interestingly my cc was charged for the watch, which like yours is stuck in Shanghai, but not for the phone which is already in KY. So I think there's a good chance that the Shanghai scans are inaccurate. It's great consolation that although the watch seems to be sitting in Shanghai scheduled delivery date is still listed as 9/21.
lol, same here. I'm not too worried right now. If it still hasn't moved by Thursday night I'll start getting nervous.
In the meantime this zealous watch of the flights and shipping updates has become its own yearly ritual for me.
My Silicone case came today for my XS Max but I really don't wanna open it I wanna see the phone and size of the actual phone first and not let an empty case give it away.
Yeah, one of my watches still says arrived in Shanghai on Monday. Maybe it's possible my two watches were combined into one tracking number?
Rockstar. Thank you for the information.
Alas an update here, seem to be with the majority-
Scheduled Delivery:
Friday, 09/21/2018 , By End of Day
Last Location:
Arrived - Incheon, Korea, Republic of, Tuesday, 09/18/2018
I’ve posted this in years past but for anybody who’s new, this is the lovely view your phones will have on arrival in Anchorage. 
One of my cases came yesterday, and I opened it. It actually wasn't that much bigger looking. I was thinking it would be more, because I remember the X seeming so small compared to my 7 plus.
Based on what I'm seeing this is the only flight to Anchorage from Korea left, and a correposnding flight a few hours later to Louisville. Perhaps they forgot to scan this shipment or there is an issue with UPS tracking for this flight. It would only make sense that everyone that has their device stuck in Incheon is on this flight and will be in Louisville thursday 1am. That'll give all of thursday to get the packages to their respective destination facilities.
I know the Max is about the same physical size as the old Plus phones but I don't want to feel that in the case without seeing how big the screen actually feels first.
256GB Silver Max with 11:15 Ank departure. No updates since then and my delivery date, which went from tentative to 9/21 after arriving in Anchorage just went back to tentative. My assumption is there is an import scan / customs hold up.
I have no doubts it will be here by 9/21 just frustrating to watch the changes - yet I can’t stop either. . .

Someone said UPS tracking was down this morning and won't update until the backup server syncs with the primary so if they left earlier that may be the case
