Maybe it's on the Louisville flight? Jeez...wish it would let me know more info. Still no delivery date listed.

Arrival Anchorage 2:34 pm

Another half an hour to catch a Louisville flight; else wait another 8 hours which means one full day more for delivery and if they dont deliver on Saturdays, then its Monday

Got my phone about 5 p.m. But I cannot open the sim-card tray. The needle can be inserted into the hole on the tray with about 5 millimeters for the iPhone 6s. But for my iPhone 7 Plus, it just inserts a little, like one millimeter. Contacted apple support, the rep said it should be the manufacturing problem or something what. Have to send it back and wait for another week at least.
i'd walk into an Apple Store first, they have replacements on hand and may be able to sort you out on the spot. worth a try.

I'm sure it will leave on the same plane that it arrived in
Very true. I didn't notice that UPS99 continued to Louisville. Also, it left at 2:02p per Flightaware, and that's the exact UPS Departure scan time. Now it makes makes that the UPS Agent told me midflight from Korea that the next destination was going to be Louisville.

Which is the Apple set delivery date on their site. Hope its conservative!

It appears all the bitching and moaning paid off. If you have ever used UPS, you know there's no way the standard service moves across from Alaska to delivery on the East Coast in a day, much less their saver service. They are using expedited service for the phones once they reach the US.

Nice! I got the same arrival, but no departure. Things have been ridiculously delayed, so may update later.
[doublepost=1475798649][/doublepost]Now info form UPS:

We have a contractual agreement with some shippers, which limits the amount of packages that can be handed over to UPS on any given day, when this amount is exceeded, as in this case, the packages may experience delays. We need first to complete those packages that were given to us in previous days before we can export those that were recently shipped. My best advise is to keep on tracking the package on ups.com for further updates.

Ugh this is driving me crazy too, first it was scheduled for delivery to me on Monday, then to my great surprise it was rescheduled for delivery today, well yesterday it got rescheduled with no particular delivery date! UPS is horrendous, why the hell did apple switch to them from FedEx? My delivery is set to be made in Kansas.

Here's a screenshot of my progress --

I say it's emotional because I've had an iPhone forever. Always was able to get the phone on launch day with the exception of that unfortunate AT&T order with the iPhone 5. I'm sure you understand Apple loyalty. I've had I don't know how many iPads, Macs & I even have an Apple Watch! I LOVE my Apple products. It's just hard waiting but I'm sure it is for everyone. You should definitely check out T-Moble. I was only with AT&T because back in the day they were the only carrier with the iPhone.

I also like apple products... I've tried other brands, which are not bad... but apple seem to run smoother...did you get any updates today? I've been reading the post and it seems some are seeing a lot of movement

At the end of the day, even the biggest company can have issues. As a true Apple fan, I will let this go. Lord knows I have family and friends that have dropped the ball and they are still in my life! It will be interesting to see what they do going forward to adjust. That will speak volumes.

So this is going to sound stupid, but if you order from Apple does your carrier affect when your phone will be processed and shipped?

I would guess it depends on production planning for that specific carrier's model. So, theoretically, I would say yes, it could be impacted. But don't take my word for it.
