LOL. I think it's been 15 minutes since it landed. UPS 63 landed at 12:42 and it was scanned at 12:48!

Oh god, you're not helping haha!

 

[madhu1989]

Oh god, you're not helping haha!

LOL. let me know if you see anything. I shall do the same too!

Anyone with a 9/21 8:01 PM arrival scan in Incheon seeing any movement at all? I was hoping maybe we made it onto one of the Anchorage flights and UPS is just behind on updating status. At this point I'm just hoping to get my phone by Friday so I don't have to wait out the weekend.

Same here as well. no updates yet...

 

[Plc4MieHaed]

still no movement on my 128gb 7+ matte black.

Stuck in processing since 9/9

Absolutely defeated here...

I'm the same. Every phone that ships out with dates later than mine or the same even I check my status and still processing. I'm happy for everyone getting their phone just pissed that this whole system this year is all over the place in terms of priority. But...I continue to wait and pray!

 

[ReaderZero]

No updates yet. Was hoping my 7+ was in that flight from Korea but no updates from UPS yet.

For what it's worth I have a 256 Gb black 7+ Sprint that went to preparing to ship on Saturday and was initially scheduled tomorrow and delayed to Friday today.

My tracking shows departed ZhengZhou and again arrived at the same location. No changes to the order after having arrived at the location it just left.

Why would it depart ZhengZhou and later arrive again?

I just had another 256 Gb 7+ Rose gold come in today and it's tracking was much simpler and had none of this nonsense.

Called UPS and spoke to their iPhone tracking department and I could hear the lady's confusion however she said as long as there is a scan on it each day they consider the shipment to be fine and nothing they can do until it reaches the US.

My 128 gb + att did the same u turn in China. Received the first tracking email sat for mon delivery but delayed until today and has arrived. It even changed to "no information" at one point this morning making me think it would delay again.

Now I wait for the phone ordered through sprint. That thread's way worse than this one.

 

[Moi Ici]

I finally have a Departure scan from Louisville (4:24pm) to Phoenix. Should arrive around 5:30pm local time, and I'll get it tomorrow. Original date 9/27-9/29. 7+, 256GB, matte black.

That's the best one.....'causethatstheoneihave

Yes! Very frustrating. Butttt, nothing we can do

Sigh

Well considering you are in the same exact boat as me, drop me a message if anything exciting happens with your order. I'll do the same. Unfortunately, and I don't mean this in any offense to any users, most people are very concerned with their own orders, primarily people who already have tracking numbers. It's always an interesting situation where you are more interested in other people's progress than your own because of how stagnant your own order is. LOL.
I'm keeping my expectations very low. Holding out hope that later tonight since it will be daytime in China, I will see some type of movement. Another thing that kind of kills the confidence is that even when I go to preparing for shipment, who knows how long it will take to go through the hoops Of China Korea possibly Japan Anchorage and Louisville.

*facepalm*

"who knows how long it will take to go through the hoops Of China Korea possibly Japan Anchorage and Louisville."

China to HK is about an hour trip, 2 hour sort + 1 hour prep to depart (3 hr depart), HK to Alaska is 9 hours, Alaska to Louisville is 5 hours + 1-3 hours for sort and departure

China to KR is about an hour trip as well, 2 hour sort + 1 hour pre = 3 hour to allow depart, KR to Alaska is 6 hours, Alaska to Lousiville 5 hours + 1-3 hours for sort and departure

With no delays. This has been mine, my cousins and friends progress i've collected

 

[Christian3]

No arrival scan in Anchorage... it is a possibility no scan updates until Louisville. One can hope can't I.

 

[MultiMediaWill]

It is a very real possibility. My phone delivered today surprisingly. When I went to bed last night it was stuck in China but then it teleported to Louisville overnight. Original UPS delivery date was 9/20. I got it 9/21.

 

[SparklyOne]

Giving up hope that I was on UPS99 that landed in Anchorage, it arrived at the gate 48 minutes ago. I'm not going to make myself crazy refreshing my tracking, LOL. I guess those of us with 9/21 8:01 Incheon scans will be on the next flight out of Korea, scheduled for 9/22 at 10:14 PM local time. Only 15 hours to go . . . . What is really annoying to me is that my phone was sitting in ZhengZhou since 9/19, I guess just hanging out all day yesterday. First world problems of having too much information, right. Still holding out hope for Friday. I will not melt down until that's off the table.

Wow! Thank you so much for the info!
I feel like a kid waiting on Christmas only It feels like Christmas ain't comin this year. Haha.
Just hoping I see it before Oct 6 which was the latest date it is to be delivered.

 

[Soledreamz]

So my question is if I paid off my att next account just under an hour ago how long before I can use that upgrade at Apple?

 

[PublicMenace69]

Am I still the only one here with a date of 10/18-10/31 that had their phone ship?

I had my phone ship with the same date. But it's been in ZhengZhou since yesterday. And my delivery date got updated from tomorrow to Friday. I'm hoping to see some sort of movement by tonight or early morning tomorrow. If not, then I don't know if it'll arrive Friday

 

[iJohno418]

As soon as you pay it.
Their payment system is pretty quick; once they get the payment (instantaneously), your account is updated to "paid off" and "monthly contract" meaning you can upgrade anytime

 

[madhu1989]

Hoping I have the same exact situation as you. Thanks for the hope!

I would suggest, its better to not have any hopes instead of getting disappointed. I think we should start mentally preparing ourselves to expect our phones no sooner than friday or monday. UPS has turned out to an unreliable ****!

 

[jehrler]

Yes. Mine went straight from China to Louisville. Jet Black 7+ ATT 128gb.

Happy for you but kinda annoying that those of us who

Or you could do the full Asia mainland tour. ZhengZhou to Seoul to Hong Kong to Anchorage. That adds a day and a bunch of frequent flyer miles

lets hope not. But that was a good laugh....much needed

Yes, that! I'd rather just be surprised. At least I can take comfort that there are no 7+ 128 available in my local store, either. That would be too much. My last two pre-orders have been a disaster. Last time I got a release day shipping date, only to have UPS not deliver it until Monday. Grrr. This year I had a release day ship date when I first added to my cart, but it slipped to 23-26 in the 60 seconds it took me to fill out Apple's financing form.

 

[Natzoo]

Meanwhile mine is still processing

 

[macromarcie]
