I sure UPS has a plan but why the heck this batch seems to have taken the long, tour of China and Taiwan? It seems to be the only batch compaired to others... crazy.
Ok, so since I'm stuck with a 10/04-10/10 delivery from apple, I think I'm gonna try and instore. I live in a releativly small sized city in Virginia and I have too AT&T retailers in my area and a Best Buy. 1. Would Best Buy be able to authorize a AT&T next plan. 2. Which do you guys think would be the Bette right the two to grab a 256GB Black IPhone 7 Plus? (I figure it's a small city and it's the most expensive of the colors, how likely would that sell out everywhere instore?)
Last year Rose Gold was the hot color and Best Buy and AT&T both had none at launch, only the Apple retail stores had them and in limited quantities. I don't know that they won't have black, but that was my experience last year.
Wait wtf I thought my 7 Plus 128GB Silver was on the UPS63 plane heading from Hong Kong to Anchourage cuz its departure time was 4:30PM HK...Thanks! 7 Plus, 128gb, silver.
But now I just got the update and it arrived in Taiwan instead...
Anybody else on UPS63 having this problem?

Not sure why it would have taken such a short trip. And why it took so long to go so little baffles me even more. I'm seriously concerned I won't get it on Friday now. Oh the hair I will lose over this.
Same here! lol my phone left Hong Kong at 4:30PM but then 10 hours later it's in Taiwan now wtf
But I'm tracking thru here: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS63They'll probably route it back to Taiwan to wait out the typhoon.
And it says the plane is almost in Anchourage already. Well it's supposedly landing in an hour... So we will see if we get another update from Alaska hopefully.
As I was looking at UPS6 in Taiwan I noticed the arrival reminded me it is the 15th there:
Taoyuan, Taiwan 09/15/2016 2:32 A.M. Arrival Scan
Original departure:
15-Sep-2016 B744 Taiwan Taoyuan Int'l (TPE / RCTP) Anchorage Intl (PANC) 03:21AM CST 07:43PM AKDT
scheduled at top but which day is it ours today or tommorow hard time reading this:
Scheduled: 08:41PM CST
7-day average: 09:04PM CST
Scheduled: 01:03PM AKDT
The page clipped below has this new time (in CST which I am at) for 9-14-16
so is it leaving at 8:41 CST today or what I am a bit confused by the layout of Flightaware ;-)

Correct then we will know if that was just it passing on UPS63 or if it is on UPS61 in Taiwan
Mine's on UPS59, which is just about 2 hours out of Anchorage. I had to double check to make sure it wasn't in Taiwan like the others.

Yours is on the same plane as mine, UPS59.

Well the problem is we look at departures from Hong Kong and then guessed UPS63 because it was close UPS59 followed by two hours. I cannot even find where UPS61 came from though so yes lets see when those two are in Anchorage if we see anything if not then likely UPS61 was flight oh well, almost too much information ha ha
Oh I think I'm on there too!
