There is also a message in the top of the page saying:
"Package is delayed in transit. Delivery will be rescheduled."
I'm located in London.
I got an update from both Apple and UPS today: the new estimate is now Monday, 14-Dec.
Coincidence or not, this was the first day of the original estimation interval (between 14-Dec and 21-Dec) given when I bought it (7-Nov).
Two things I noticed:
- "In transit" status state started updating its time this aftenoon, and later the location changed do Koreah
- I received no emails with status updates.
I read in a few websites that if it is freezed in the same "in transit" state for a few days, it's because it is queued for scanning in "send-deliver" processes between offices.
It seems to be working as expected now.
