Carrier Apple.com New 2018 iPhone Pre-Order Thread

I work at an airport that does international customs. Everything is x-rayed for contraband but trusted shippers make guarantees and have procedures to seal and protect the packages. Customs won’t be a big time hinderance.

Which airport ?

3:37AM on what day, please?

Thursday 9/20 at 3:37am. I didn't see it until 9am. No change in tracking since then - still awaiting clearance in ZZ. Now says 9/24 "tentative" in tracking. I'm looking at UPS My Choice for details.

I just saw on the news that one of the planes that was carrying iPhones has crashed.





Ok, so not really but the momentary blood pressure spike was fun wasn't it? Haha

 

[Lobwedgephil]

Confirmed. I just received the scan for this one. Looks like you were right!

Me too!!

 

[UserJalen]

So both my iPhone and Apple Watch have left KY. Will the next stop be my local CC?

What state do you live in?

 

[EngenZerO]

Sigh... kind of worried but still holding onto hope... Gold256 Xs Max stuck in Incheon and Gold 64 Xs from Shenzhen...

What’s hilarious is that I talked my wife into switching our vacation days by delaying it by 1 day so we would get our phones!!! I hope they show up!!!

 

[Rick73tii]

On SQ7396 too! Great work by the forum. Always impressed.

Oops! I meant SQ7952

So I’m guessing my phone didn’t get enough of Anchorage the first time around and decided to head back.

Just got the text from UPS that I have 2 packages scheduled for delivery tomorrow, though I have 2 AWs and a phone coming. Not overly concerned but after Typhoonapalooza a couple of years ago, I know that ship dates are occasionally missed, even when UPS swears to you that they’ll be there as scheduled. (Mine went to KY and then to FL—where I am—and then back to KY and then back to FL before I finally got them to admit that they weren’t 100% sure WHERE it was. Argh.)

Nice try but I read the bottom of the message first because I was scrolling and knew it was a joke before reading the full top sentence

Surprise - suddenly an Ankorage departure from an hour ago. Until now I only saw the Hong Kong 139p departure.

 

[Gizmotoy]

What time did you leave Incheon?

09/20/201811:07 P.M.

Looks like the one that hasn't left Incheon yet has just been downgraded to a "Tentative" delivery estimate of Friday. The one that made the flight out of Incheon is confirmed for Friday.

Same. Mine left at 1:08 and is marked "On Time" and "Exception" in my choice has gone away

Mine never arrived in Anchorage but it departed so that’s good? Haha

View attachment 784804 Anyone on the ZZ crew stuck here?

We're practically neighbors. Waiting on my XS Max to arrive in Floyd county tomorrow.

Here’s mine ... although there was an earlier note about leaving HK @1:39 PM. I guess UPS tracking can’t handle all the refresh requests

Awesome man!!! Congrats. Mine left Korea this morning, allegedly.

 

[gabo864]

What state do you live in?

Georgia

 

[buck1127]

Yeah, I've got one in that group. Looks like it's going to take a more direct route.

I hope so

 

[Mad4clay]

Me = Virginia Phone = Incheon

Mpls here!

I still remember your difficulties with that shipment. So maddening!

My tracking is the exact same as yours. I am confused, but still pretty confident our phones are gonna be to us tomorrow.

 

[Nanotyrns]

Now there is all this extra, surprisingly soothing, data showing on my tracking. No changed in anything else but this info might have saved us all roughly 5000 posts

I’m thinking departure means it’s on a plane on truck, that’ll leave later tonight. Likely a plane. But who knows.
