This is insane. Shipped on the 8th, has not moved out of Zhenzhou since. Delivery was scheduled for tomorrow. Obviously not happening.

Woohoo, finally some movement on my end. My CC was charged yesterday early evening and status was preparing to ship. This morning as of 8:51 am east, my phone was shipped! :):D Now to track it, it is currently in Zhengzhou with a departure scan.

Same here !
 
Andddd it's shipped with an arrival date for end of day on 17th :) departure scan from shengzhou, same for you ?

I got a date of the 22nd on Apple, but I think that will change. I have a departure scan of 9:51PM from Zhengzhou, and I see that there was a flight that took off at 9:25PM, so I wonder if my phone is on that flight.
 
My original delivery window of Nov 17 - Nov 24 has been revised again, to today Nov 13th!

Below shows how fast FedEx is once they get their paws on a package...I'll be camped at my front door until that Purple Truck shows up!

This is my experience with Fedex as well. They are an immensely superior company to UPS in terms of logistics and efficiency.
 
I just received a "Departure Scan" update from UPS.

Looking at Flightaware, I don't see any planes out of Shanghai, but there is one out of Shenzhen Bao'an Int'l which has a departure time of 10 minutes before my UPS page. Is that an airport in Shanghai?

I will not refresh flightaware, ups and this forum all day.. I will not refresh flightaware, ups and this forum all day.. I will not refresh flightaware, ups and this forum all day..

yeah im in the same boat with literally the same tracking history as you, to the minute... I just got in contact with UPS and they told me "What happens is that due to the type of contract we have with sender there is a limit of packages they can send out in a period of time. Once this is shipped out from China then the delivery date will be updated on tracking system". This is beyond absurd and no one knows when or how long its going to take for that to renew. I then got in contact with Apple and they said they can't do anything until their delivery date of the 17th passes, and then I can get in contact with them to try and sort it out.

Im beyond pissed about this...

So both of my phones finally shipped, but both seem stuck in Zhengzhou, one hasn't moved since Friday and UPS is all ‍♂️ on the delivery date, which was supposed to be this Wednesday but perhaps it really will end up being next Monday like Apple says. My second phone (the one I can actually claim for myself :)) shipped this morning! If there is a patron saint of package delivery, I'd like both phones to magically part the Pacific and cross the continent and arrive in my arms before Friday. I haven't upgraded since iPhone 6 and I'm about to throw that one out the window, I need a new phone so bad.

All in all, Apple quoted Nov. 17-24, and the way it's looking like now that window seems pretty accurate. No bump, no outperforming expectations. There's still time though!

My phones been shipped and on UPS it says delivery date the 16th. On Apple store app it says 21st. Hoping it’s the 16th.
My phone arrived in Louisville, KY yesterday at 9:18 am but never left there today. Guess it’s still gonna be the 16th after all till I get it.
 
Package finally released from clearance this morning in Korea @ 5:57 A.M. Hopefully that means it's on a flight out today.

No delivery date on UPS site, apple site says 11/17.
 
You are right, flights from ZhengZhou are not being tracked. I guess you'll need to wait to the next destination to be able to track it from there.

I figured. I've been stuck there since Thursday, so I was hoping I could see when I could possibly get my phone out of there. I guess I'll just wait.

Yep same here. I'm hoping we can see some updated info on delivery date once it lands in Anchorage. Should be there in about 90 minutes.

Meanwhile I'm seeing orders shipped 3 days later already leaving China.

Apple says 22nd for me too. Ups says end of day 17th. Mine had the same departure scan and arrived at Shanghai at 10:51 , same for you?
