Yeah, they suggested I call the local depot on Monday morning to make absolutely sure it would be on a truck for delivery, as though that's my responsibility! This is a first for me with UPS--every other launch has been relatively pain-free, but this one's a fiasco.
I've already opened an investigation with Apple since that's what they advised me to do. I've been told a replacement will be prioritized and expedited pending they confirm UPS has no idea where my package is. If they somehow come through on Monday, my replacement won't ship.

Just opened an investigation with Apple. They're mailing a replacement and said that UPS can still deliver the original package, if they ever find it.

In fact, the Apple rep was the one that advised opening an investigation since I'm past my delivery date.

UPS has been unhelpful after calling and emailing today. They're unsure of the physical location of the package. They've told me "logically" the UPS system says there was a scan at the hub 3 hrs away on yesterday. They then proceeded to tell me "maybe Monday" after previously telling me "for sure Saturday". They've also said the device may have been delayed coming in to the US, even though I can see that wasn't the case based on the tracking history.
That sounds just like the kind of thing they're telling me. They told me for sure Friday, then no way in hell Saturday, and possibly Monday, but I have to call them to make sure it's on the truck for delivery. They also weren't sure if it was in fact back in Louisville after having made the trip to Orlando (where I am) or if that was a different pallet that may no longer have my phone on it. What a mess.

No UPS planes leave ZengZhou. I wonder what airline carries the phones from Zhengzhou to Inchenon, Hong Kong, or where ever else our phones are headed next?

So far I definitely love the speed and the Dual Camera on this new iPhone 7 Plus. First picture at 1x and second picture at 2x.
Are those Sweet peas? Beautiful photos, beautiful flowers, good color saturation. Thanks for sharing, can't wait to use mine. Love the shot depth of field. Do you think it is using th portrait setting with the flowers as well?

So I am confused and can't tell if this is my phone, if someone could maybe confirm this looks like my phone, please let me know. The shipping destination of Santa Monica doesn't make sense unless it's a pit stop in the US on its way to PA. Also the weigh seems a little heavy at .70 compared to a lot of the .50 I've seen. Lastly I see most phones originating from Zhang Zhou, and mine shows Suzhou, China.

Shipping service is correct but that's all I can tell

did you match it to your order number, check the reference numbers, it should list a few numbers...one being your phone number associated with the account, 1 being your order number...

I ordered a 7+ and it says it weighs 0.50 kg on the tracking if that helps...

They are sweet peas! Thank you. I always enjoy testing out the new camera whenever a new iPhone comes out. Always seems to be my favorite feature of the new phone. I think it is.

I would say probably not. Same weight as mine, but my address and name are where yours says Santa Monica? This year....Who Knows...

It ONLY matched my order number, and that's how I found it, but it does not match my phone number in the reference numbers.

Wow! Yeah UPS has never really been anything but on point for me. So what happens if they don't have it out for delivery on Monday?
 
How about this, has anyone been able to retrieve tracking info from UPS with reference numbers, but at the same time it didn't show up in MyChoice?

Also, how many reference numbers were listed on your order? Because this shows 6 numbers, one of which is the order number minus the last two digits.

I ordered the 256GB Silver model early Friday morning. 2-3 weeks delivery.

My order currently says 'preparing for shipment' but another part says Expected Delivery Oct. 04-12, 2016.

I don't know if I should expect the iPhone during those dates or if 'preparing for shipment' means it may actually be shipping early?
 
I'm guessing I'll file a claim with Apple like the other poster in this thread. I don't even know what to think. This has been such a bizarre journey. Lol.

You're one of the central FL people I was hoping would get their phone on launch day. I hope you get it soon, sucks that UPS lied.

Not really mine saying same for past 3 days and it haven't shipped, my delivery date is sept 27 to 29th.. they change to that status so you cant cancel or do anything else with order. Apple is really smart like that lol

My jet black 128 plus for AT&T finally changed to Preparing for shipment today.
Like yours mine has been showing the October 4 date. Hoping it goes out sooner.

Edit. Card was also charged finally.
