Enough with this nonsense. Does anyone know how to cancel an iPhone 7 order in transit? My iPhone is on the same schedule as this one and I have reserved an similar phone at an Apple Store close to me to pick up today.

You have to return it when you get it
 
Orders sitting in Korea due to mechanical delay may have an update:
Unsure what time zone the update is from but just got this alert

  • A mechanical failure has delayed delivery. We're adjusting plans to deliver your package as quickly as possible. / Your package was released by the clearing agency.
And my order status is now Clearance completed whereas before it was saying exception.

Never seen a clearance completed status before. Did it really need clearance after a mechanical issue? Was it in customs all along for five days? Lol who knows at this point.

i have the same but a different scan time?
 
You're not wrong. To be honest I'll flip if I don't get a departure scan with this one.
[doublepost=1474627839][/doublepost]The flight from incheon departed. Anyone get a departure scan?
I didn't get one yet. I'm not seeing the clearance status that some people are getting. I wonder if that means anything.
 
I ordered +matt black 256gb n 7RG 128gb on 19th n 20th Sep on Apple.com with estimated shipping 10/11 to 10/17. status still showing as Processing. Anyone with an updated status?

Same here, except 128GB variant. I don't expect to see activity until the end of next week at the earliest. Still sounds like they are working through Day 1 orders.
 
just got a text an hour go that says EXCEPTION. So did they have *another* mechanical failure or is that just there because there still is no estimated delivery date?

Do you think us clearance releasers are on the UPS49 flight?

I'm a part of the 801 squad that's now in HK. I'm so turned off by this entire thing I think next launch I'll just take my chances and pick one up in store or order one after all the hype dies down.

Apple played all of us.


Same here, I dont understand how it went back to China.

Updated with a another mechanical failure but now it says clearance completed which means it's in the states I believe. Last update was on Korea though so who knows.
 
I've also received the "clearance received by the clearing agency" message. WTH does that even mean? How do you get clearance from a mechanical failure? Oooh, when said mechanical failure is an excuse. Got it.

Just talkes to UPS. Apparently the Hong Kong update is incorrect and the phones should be arriving on US soil next. Don't understand how errors like that can be happening in their system.

That doesn't make sense because the flight left after that message so how could that mean it's in the states?
Why does no one have a departure? Are they doing that mid flight?
 
Like most of you on this thread, my phone has been touring Asia. LOL. I'm so close to just purchasing a rose gold model that is currently available at my local Apple store.

I just called UPS all it means is that the packages are cleared to leave the country. They said they are still working on the mechanical problem as of 8:03AM EST (9/23)

7+ 128 GB MB AT&T. Ordered 9/9 at 6:30 AM CDT. No movement. Still processing. No charge at bank. Delivery date 10/4-10/10. At this point, I genuinely believe this date will be right, and there are lots of people on this board and Reddit saying the same status and delivery date. It might be longer for you than end of next week. I'm stuck because I don't have an Apple Store nearby. If you do, use istocknow.com and try to reserve and pick one up. Fastest way at this point according to the boards.

Hope it arrives on or before the delivery date promised. My cc is yet to be charged.

What?! UPS is telling different stories to everyone. My eyes hurt from rolling around so much.
