Still in Korea, lots of phones arriving in the US already, starting to get concerned about friday delivery. I'm going to do reserve and pickup just in case as a backup.
 
Still stuck in ZZ China here. . Lots of chatter in the other groups about UPS not scanning pallets and their tracking being behind.

Still showing on-time for Friday. Suspect we'll see progress shortly.
 
Regarding cases. I HATE cases and screen protectors. I only use Peel slim cases as I find they ruin the feel of the phone the least.

I've never used a screen protector ever and never had issues.
I find you need to replace them pretty often since they get warped from mechanical stress of taking in and out of pockets and allow grit to get behind when that happens. Apart from that though, their quality is good, I found totalee to be equally good, haven't tried the others though.

I hope so, because logistically if we don't get an update by tonight that it has left China/Korea, I would be very skeptical of a Friday delivery.
 
My UPS tracking originally said "in transit: on time", now it just says "in transit". There's also a little question mark bubble that says the package should be delivered on the delivery date or a rescheduled delivery date. I have no faith i'll get the phone Friday, absolutely brutal. I had to do the reserve/pickup thing last year which worked, but i'd hate to have to do it again. Plus that means i'll have to get up at 8am Saturday because it seems that they removed the Friday 8am date for Canada.

In my case, my :apple: XS Max Gold arrived yesterday night in Anchorage, AK. It then left at 11h44pm and just arrived in Louiseville, KY.

I followed the UPS freight flight using FlightAware ;)

It still have to get into Canada from Louiseville, KY, but I suppose it has time since it still say "On-Time" for Sept. 21st delivery :)

Wow, goes all the way to Kentucky then back? Mine showed in AK last night but nothing since, I guess it will probably take the same route as yours

My one 6S went from ZZ to Louiseville to Canada in under 2 days and I received it on launch. Even when it got sent to a different city and then trucked over.

So how’s everyone enjoying their ‘phoneless cases’? ;):p

Luckily I was able to reserve one in store for Friday, so no flight tracking for me (this time). Do we usually see any movement before Friday? Or does it just become ready?
 
Anyone else stuck in ZZ China. Last update was 2:10am on Monday.

Not looking great for Friday. Still showing as scheduled but tentative.
 
Picking up at Upper Canada - 11AM, still in progress. Does anyone know if the shipping to store step will be updated or if it will just be ready the day of?
 
I have seen this happen before where shipments are still showing as not in country this close launch day. Yet, everytime I have still received delivery on time.

Keep your hopes up folks as this isn’t that unusual
Yea i think mine is on UPS99 flight that will be in Alaska in 2 hours and in Kentucky by early tomorrow morning.

Yes you’re probably right, I think I recall this happening for my iPhone 7 Plus too.
 
Got a silver xs max reserved in the morning but I keep seeing the gold one and it looks really nice. Lucked into finding a gold reservation yesterday for the afternoon on Friday so looks like I'm going to be trialling them both lol. The other factor is that the coating on the band on my space grey X held up really well and I'm not sure I want to be buffing out the silver all the time, which is why I liked the PVD coated gold. Looking forward to Friday!
