What the hell does it even mean to be released by a clearing agency?

I guess it wasn't a mechanical failure or severe weather then.

According to UPS "clearance completed" means its cleared customs.

Ups added another flight called ups99A. I think everyone cleared is leaving today no matter what.

That sounds about right. Last night someone mentioned an apple rep stated they were having all shipments delayed in Korea changed to next day delivery so that all the delayed phones would be delivered on Saturday. I still don't believe, at least mine, will be delivered Saturday. But as long as I see it in the US & out of Korea I'll be happy

Next day from when it enters the US* so expect it monday

How do you find your reference number

It's on the detailed tracking page from UPS. I don't believe it shows up in the mobile version, so be sure to use the full site.

And on the apple website that was what they stated my delivery date would be. It was UPS who got me thinking it was coming before then. But they forgot to mention they couldn't handle the load before putting an earlier delivery date lol

*Positive Thoughts* This sucks but it's not as bad as being one of those guys waiting days at Grand Central to be told the day before that there would be no 7+ in stock on launch day. lol
[doublepost=1474637905][/doublepost]I wonder how many of us can get Apple gift cards out of this........

 

[DrMCraft]

part of the 801 crew then the 712 crew live on the east coast so expect it Monday? Cant wait

So, I’ve been “Preparing for Shipment” since Saturday (6 days, if you’re counting). (7+, matte black, 128gb, Verizon). The catch is that I got an email saying that I was late on my Verizon bill. My bad. I went and paid it immediately, but I think it knocked me out of an earlier shipment. Still, I’m surprised I’m still in PFS. Has anyone else been PFS for 6+ days?

This is my problem with the whole situation!

 

[SparklyOne]

Seems to be back in "normal" transit but still no delivery estimate. Where are my 8:01 peeps that are now HK 7:12 homies? Can I get another whoop whoop!

Whoop whoop! About damn time. Anyone know when tracking will update with an actual delivery date? Maybe not until cleared by customers in L'ville. . . . .

 

[PublicMenace69]

Same here. I really can't complain too much because I was supposed to get my phone between oct. 18-31st. I'm still getting it a month early. I'm more frustrated about how UPS can't handle their job

According to the UPS supervisor that I talked to last night, they aren't able to switch the packages to Saturday delivery, even at the request of he shipper.

.....Mine was Oct 4-10.QUOTE]

My MB 128GB has always been listed as scheduled delivery of 10/4-10/10. Are others with this same model/estimate getting bumped up dates and/or shipping notices? I've heard about some JB orders shipping much earlier than anticipated.

 

[SparklyOne]

Interestingly, I got an alert this morning (I think a Google alert generated by Apple updating my order): "Your iPhone has shipped! Expected delivery: Tuesday, September 27th." I didn't like the tone of it at all, LOL. All exclamation marky, as if I should be so excited to get this news.

So my phone left Hong Kong at 7:12pm on 7/23/16. Am I looking at a Monday delivery? UPS taunted me with a 7/22 delivery date earlier in the week and Apple still says 7/23. UPS tracking now says "Scheduled delivery information is not available at this time. Please check back later." It's tough for the impatient.

I spoke with 2 apple reps yesterday who told me that UPS's delivery updates and tracking statuses are messed up and they assured me my phone would be delivered today.

8:01 here. HK 7:28 departure scan. no arrival scan in HK just departure scan. It's comingggggg

They are just trying to get customers off their backs. Are you in the Hong Kong 7:12 PM 9/23/16 departure group? If so, no way a phone goes from Hong Kong to in your hands in 12 hours. It will be Monday at the earliest.

 

[raidensix]

That's odd. iPhone 7+ Black 128GB with confirmation received Sept 9, 3:14 AM ET
Finally shipped but via FEDEX with shipment originating from California and
scheduled for Sept 28 delivery

If it reaches AK by end of today it's possible to take delivery tomorrow.

Same departure scan here. How do you figure out what flight the phone is on from this information?

 

[wednesdayaddamms]

Yes.

Hello All,

I bought the iphone 7(T-mobile compatible) paying in full. Does that make it an unlocked phone? Can i use any GSM MVNO that T Mobile supports or do i have to get it unlocked first?

Thanks in Advance.

You should've bought sprint or Verizon. You can only use gsm with the t mobile and att.

I do not have problems with using a GSM, My questions is whether I could use a 3rd Party MVNO GSM sim which is compatible with T Mobile bandwidths from the very first day (Since I paid for the phone in full and there are no obligations to T Mobile), or would I have to use T Mobile for a while before I can ask them to unlock it for me.
