S/O to Minneapolis! 612!
 
Really hope UPS is just screwing up scans and we made it onto this anchorage flight. Or we can just skip it altogether and teleport to Kentucky lol
 
Welp... I was gonna post earlier today that UPS said Friday but my phone had been listed as Arrival Scan in ZhengZhou for the last 24 hours, and hopefully it was just a scanning skip, but my UPS just updated and now says Monday.

****. :(
Mine just went from arrival on Thursday, to Friday. I only have two arrival scans in zhenzung. Nothing after. I'm expecting the phone Monday because of their inconsistancy.
 
I wish I knew what flight my phone is on. No flights match my departure time. I had no problem tracking the phone I received on launch day.
 
Well, mine was stuck in China, then it got left behind in Seoul... Today it went from Seoul to Hong Kong, and it's currently on UPS99 to ANC where it will stop in for a quick visit before heading to Louisville tonight. I was hoping the tracking information had been wrong and perhaps it made this journey yesterday like a lot of you are hoping. But, the UPS tracking seems to be legit. I got a departure scan from each city I've been in, including a 7:13pm departure from Hong Kong. So that's how I know it's currently 2 hours outside of Anchorage.

I've never had a phone get held up in customs before, nor have I had one that missed the plane because it was full. Both happened this time around.

I'm assuming that the majority of everyone's tracking information is correct and that you'll see your phones in a couple of days.
 
Anyone else stuck here with no updates but told delivery for tomorrow? Can't find any flights arriving in anchorage tonight either... Is it possible to skip the Anchorage flight and go straight to Kentucky?
One of my iphone orders are on this same shipment as well..hopefully we get an update soon showing alaska because I know once its there, the next day we should have our phones.
 
Seeing an Anchorage to Louisville at 2:50 Local time. Best case scenario we are on this UPS 99 that lands in an hour 1/2, then directly onto the next flight to Louisville and land in Louisville 12:49am. That would most likely be enough time for some deliveries tomorrow as well !

There are 6 flights leaving Anchorage in the next 4.5hrs or so. Hopefully you get on one of those. Mine landed yesterday afternoon in Anchorage, then onto Louisville. Made it to tulsa early early this morning and is out for delivery today. So as long as you leave Anchorage on one of those next 6 flights, you should be good for delivery tomorrow barring anything unusual like weather or mechanical issue on the plane.

I sure hope so, but you never know with them. Crazy I'm not confident I can get on one of 6 flights! lol
 
Preordered : 9/9/2016
Time : 8 PM (eastern)
Status : Processing
Model : Iphone 7 Jet Black 128
Carrier : AT&T
Estimation : October 10 - October 17

Here is my current status, I posted in this manner to maybe help others get an idea of wait time. I'm guessing anyone who ordered in my time table is still processing as well, the people starting to get theirs, probably ordered between 2-3 AM, just my guess though ;).

Exact same phone ordered. Only I got confirmation email at 6am est. 10/4-10/10 window. Processing...
 
All I'm seeing is ships November and Processing Order....Not a happy camper, ordered within 2 minutes of site going live on 9/9

I have the same estimated date, model and carrier, i received order confirmation at 3:18AM EST. Status went from Processing to PFS on Sunday, no update since.
 
I'm out for delivery today. For those that got them today/yesterday: looks like I'm a week 37 build (9/11-9/17). Anyone else with a week 37 know if they come with 10.0.0 or 10.0.1 installed? The launch day folks had some issues setting them up if they already upgraded to iOS 10 on their current phones.
Thanks!

Same boat. I wish I get it tomo. Mine was supposed to be delivered today. And now it looks like Friday or Monday if its not on UPS99.

I was under the impression that the UPS63 flight from Hong Kong to Alaska was touching down for a short refuel stop then heading straight to Louisville. I thought when I checked it had about an hour or so lay over then back up in the air which would make me think that there wouldn't be enough time for them to move any cargo around. More of just a pitstop.
 
My Oct 12 - 18 order is still processing but I was able to reserve the exact same phone today at my local Apple Store. I'll be picking it up after work and cancelling the order for mine (128GB Black Matte 7+). That'll bump someone else up in line.

I'm not seeing a flight UPS63 from HK to Alaska. I only see two flights headed to Anchorage right now (UPS flights anyways). UPS99 is headed to Alaska, same flight # from Anchorage to Louisville. Here is what I am looking at...

Looking at the map from the above link and not the flight schedule below, there are currently 8 UPS flights in the air headed to Anchorage.
