In looking up the connect flights for the usual route, I've calculated there IS enough time to get it to me by tomorrow...if in fact it is on UPS99 right now.
Got a tip for us?

I'm stuck in Korea as well but hoping this is true! UPS My Choice still says delivery by the end of today but tracking says information not available. I'm just hoping it comes before the weekend at this point.
Did you order thru Apple or AT&T?Ordered 9/19 (iPhone 7 Plus 128 Black AT&T). Phone shipped 10/4 and just got an updated arrival scan
"Incheon, Korea, Republic of 10/05/2016 7:18 P.M. Arrival Scan". My scheduled delivery is 10/6.
Ok, wait, you ordered the same phone as me, 10 days later than I did & your phone is being shipped to you & my order has been processing for over 26 days with a delivery date of October 18-31? This just really isn't making any sense!
It's almost entertaining to read UPS' Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/ups/posts_to_page/ So many complaints. UPS is like McDonalds, all about cranking out maximum numbers and not quality.
Here's a guy who paid for Next Day Air and his package took over a week to be shipped randomly about:

Are we all stuck in Korea? 
I contacted UPS and they don't really have much info. I guess everyone's freaking out over there. They just say it's delayed and updated delivery dates will come later

Me too! I'm just hoping I get it on or before Friday as UPS does not deliver on Saturdays in my area
UPDATE!
So it is on UPS99! Just checked and it left Korea at 10:46PM!!
I have talked to Apple 4 times!!! All they do is apologize. I preordered on 9/9 with a confirmation email 14 minutes after the preorder started & my order has been "processing" from day 1. Very frustrating but CONGRATS to you!
I contacted Apple last week as I have the same expected delivery date and I'm still stuck in processing - they assured me that they serve everyone on a 'first come first serve basis' and that it's 'simply impossible' that anyone who ordered the same model after me was able to get it before me.

I was told the exact same thing when I called so they are giving this speech to every single person that calls in. I told the person that I knew for a fact that they were not shipping according to time of order and was told that "we simply do not do that". LOL. But they are...
That really sucks. I had the same thing happen with the 6 Plus and it was very frustrating. I hope you see some movement soon...

Thats some BS for sure...

Yeah, it was very insulting - at one point the guy was like 'Well, your friends must have ordered a different color, sometimes color effects availability'. No, reallllly?
Ridiculous.I contacted Apple last week as I have the same expected delivery date and I'm still stuck in processing - they assured me that they serve everyone on a 'first come first serve basis' and that it's 'simply impossible' that anyone who ordered the same model after me was able to get it before me.
This is for sure the last time I preorder as they gates open...maybe even at all.
I can only imagine how an iPhone 8 launch will go over.

HEY, I was just billed! Still processing, but that's something!
7+/128/JB/Verizon, ordered on 9/9 at around 3:17am - original est. date was Oct 18-31.
I've seen so many on this site order before me & have gotten their phones already. Why bother to preorder?
I'm hoping my phone somehow made it onto UPS99 currently headed to Anchorage. Given how the UPS site isn't always up to date or clear, I just don't know. It arrived in Incheon at 9:30p local, and there is a post that says "Pkg shipped; delivery being scheduled" with a timestamp of 12am this morning local. While there is no Departure noted, I am hoping that is just missing and it made the flight...and the 12am note posted late. I will have to wait until around 4:45p ET to find out when the plane lands in Anchorage!
Awesome! Just checked mine and it left Korea at 1:35am. Must just be a late scan but same flight.
I've had preorders work in the past. I really do think that one big shipping (as I recall) going bankrupt and holding onto a huge shipment of phones did in fact wreak havoc. While a big company like Apple should have contingency plans, perhaps they did and this situation would have been even worse. In the end, there are no phones in any stores near me, so I will still be among the first if it arrives in the next few days as it seems will happen.
I am chatting with UPS right now. Asking if my phone is on UPS99 or not. I doubt they know if it's not on their tracking website..

"I understand that you need to get further information regards to your shipment. It appears that this is a Apple Shipment. I will need to connect you to the Specialized CSR for Apple Shipment for further assistance. Can I connect you now?" I said YES.

Have any of you all been told this:
