It finally charged to my card (and not a temp authorization) and went to "preparing to ship". Happy dance!
To everyone whose iPhone has been stuck in ZhengZhou for days:
I just called UPS and Apple. First, UPS hadn't any idea and said it seems like Apple has picked it up again and it never shipped (yeah sure...doesn't make any sense, but that's what they said). Then I called Apple and they seemed very surprised, put me be back on hold and called UPS as well. Suddenly, UPS had a flight number and told the Apple employee that it will be delivered tomorrow, which was the delivery date they gave me when they sent me a mail that it has shipped.
Long story short, I think they had some issues scanning or updating the locations on their tracking website, but it seems like they are still on schedule. So, don't worry about your tracking status, you should get it on the date they told you.

The wife's finally showed up last night via our usual UPS driver. MyUPS tracking report never showed the phone leaving the local distribution center where it was supposed to be held for pickup yesterday morning. UPS is doing a series of face plants handling some of the phones.
Reminds me of the famous scene in the Wizard of OZ.....pay no attention to the man behind the curtains.

The Apple rep who I spoke to yesterday and who supposedly spoke to UPS said that everything looked fine and I was still on schedule for a 9/30 delivery--and that I should see an update on the tracking info because of the time delay. So I called UPS this morning after I awoke to no change to the tracking info. On the phone the UPS international person said that it is actually in Korea (even though the U.S. public site says it's still in China). However, she did note that there was an exception in China and that as such it may delay the order by 1-2 biz days.
Is anyone still stuck in "processing items"
With a delivery date of Oct 5-11?

Sure; I have the same delivery window, for a 7+ 256 gb, ordered 9/10. Still "processing"
Looks like most phones are getting on the daily UPS Flight #63 from Hong Kong to Anchorage to Louisville.

i'm still in processing with a delivery date of Oct 4-10. was originally Sept 26-28 but received an email over the weekend notifying of the delay.
iPhone 7 (NOT plus) 256GB silver.
iPhone 7Plus, Black, 256 AT&T ordered 9/9/16. ETA 10/4 to 10/10. Order still processing. Chat with Apple yesterday, and they are "confident" I will receive within ETA.
Seeing same iPhone available in Apple Stores only makes this preorder process all the more frustrating.

I have a Black 7+ 128GB through AT&T unlocked that is still stuck in processing items because I cancelled the first order that I placed because I chose the AT&T Next contract option by mistake.
Do you know if doing that will affect the new order that you placed after you have cancelled the original order.
Given a 10/5-10/11 delivery date.

I hope it will move to "Preparing for Shipment" by the end of this week since Oct 5. is next Wednesday.
For Apple stores in Oregon, 7+ 256 gb black AT&T sim phones have almost never been available (checking istocknow.com & apple.com a few times a day). Other colors are more available; gold & rose gold.
Yeah it is frustrating i cancelled my order and pick up my 7+ black 256 today at 1pm
Thank you, i feel a bit relived. My last scan was on Sunday 9/25/2016 @ 1:18AM Location ZhengZhou, Have not received any updates since. My estimated delivery date was 9/27 when i first got shipment notifcation but apple's website is now showing 9/30.

So, I went from seeing two ZhengZhou check-ins to nothing to all of the sudden this morning seeing that the phone was in the U.S., and out for shipment. My estimated delivery date from UPS has always been today, but Apple’s still says its 9/30. Unless my office mail room folks futz it up, I expect to get it today! (7+, MB, 128gb, VZW, ordered 6:34 ET/3:34 ET on 9/9, original delivery window Oct. 4–10).
EDIT: Here’s the tracking info.

Well, this was unexpected! I looked at the tracking last night and saw it was still in China, then all these updates came through this morning!
