10-1-16 to 10-7-19 is a Chinese National Holiday. Everything including UPS is on a reduced schedule until late on the 7th.

Tell that's to the 6 or so planes flying out of there now. Same as any other day

@Momdebunked Mine changed from PFS to shipped on 30th local time china, and then somehow teleported to Kentucky on the first of October. Looks like ours should've been on the same magical express flight.

@Natzoo I would think so and then I've seen multiple orders that shipped after mine and are almost stateside and my poor phone is just hanging out in China

Lol they need to stop sight seeing and make it onto a plane!

It could be that they are on a plane but UPS just being lazy about scanning. Hope, believe!

 

[Momdebunked]

Ok I like you're thinking...
I'm going to believe they're on a plane and just haven't been scanned yet

On a normal schedule UPS runs roughly 14 daily flights out of China. There is currently a 4 day backlog sitting in ZhengZhou from the Holiday.

The slow boat sounds faster than what I am experiencing right now. LOL

Mine made it to a city 3 hours away from me.. Oh UPS is teasing me

 

[Russell24]

how

My 2 orders and their progress just in case it helps someone. UPS says both will be here by Wednesday.

Seems like phones in different colors will go different routes.
I bet your order #2 is matte black.
4:45 A.M. is now a terrifying time for me cauz I've seen it hundreds of times in the past two days. LOL

As of yesterday my 9/11 order of JB 7 128 for Oct 11 - 18th still hadn't processed. Was lucky enough to reserve one at the Apple Store and picked it up today. If you ordered a 7 just keep checking istocknow. If you ordered a 7+, I hope they get you your phones soon.

 

[iEnvy]

Maybe if I stop watching it'll actually move or if it's moving, get scanned. I've been wondering how do you know if it's on a flight and how do you check?

Ditto x100

We are definitely in the same boat. Our tracking is the same, maybe off by 2-3 minutes, but otherwise the same. I'm praying for movement.

I'm not holding my breath. I'll be lucky to see it this week. Pretty sure Apple and UPS intend to make me wait a complete month for a phone I ordered within the first 10 minutes, give or take, of the website going live.

I stayed up all night, excited, just waiting for 12am to preorder!!! How dumb do we all feel?

Dumb enough to still let Apple take our money. Smart enough to consider otherwise next year or beyond.

I usually wait until around my birthday to get the new iPhone which is like a month and a few weeks after the launch. But thought I'd try early this year because there was so much downplay but uh...I regret my decision now.

 

[powerhawk5000]

Once another 24 hours rolls around they will update the delivery day another day out.

Seems to be the pattern

Tbh, it's not just Apple but this year we're subject to UPS's BS. It's just unlucky that Apple underestimated demand with UPS not having their **** together. Sure Apple took their sweet time to send me a Jet Black but if UPS was on the ball, I'd at least have my phone by now.

 

[Natzoo]

Do you guys think my package will arrive tomorrow? Or will UPS just delay it another day (2 times so far). I live in Memphis (3 hour drive)

True! I honestly feel like FedEx would have been a much better option.

No, with it that close, you're pretty good. Rarely have they delayed when it's already within that close of range.
