UPS systems are having issues so I wouldn't trust what you are seeing right now. I'm having issues with another shipment (long story) and the lady just called from my local hub to tell me she's not sure where my shipment is so she's calling hubs asking them to hold it and send back to them. Their system says being sent back to sender (they were suppose to hold until I got back from vacation next week) but she says she had people search trucks and they aren't sure where it actually is right now. They are going to call me back Monday with an update.

I'm on vacation so the fact my phone is in AK (part of the 741 scan group yesterday) it should be arriving Tuesday. I don't land back into the states until Wednesday so I'm not going to even call and ask them to hold that until I see if make it to my local UPS CC - hopefully Monday. I would be ticked if I was home waiting. Good luck!
 
My phone is one of the apparently many phones stuck in Zhengzhou (for 2 days now); I called UPS and the rep. I spoke with told me not to expect to see any movement until Monday. I really hope I don't have 2 more days of this!

My phone still hasn’t been scanned in Kentucky lol. My watch coming from China has caught up with my phone and is on its way to Kentucky as we speak. Someone in customs might be playing fortnite on our new phones lol

I order stuff overseas all the time and UPS is scanning stuff 24/7. I’m sure they are just having system problems because all of the iPhone stuff. I wouldn’t put too much stock into that. A lot of times it will update overnight during the weekend. Don’t know why. That’s just the trend I have seen.

Can anyone find out when are the next UPS flights from Louisville to say Ontario California? That should give us a hint as to when we will see the 7:41 Alaska flight boxes scanned and placed on that plane. My guess based on nothing is that there isn’t a flight until tomorrow. I’ve had this happen before where my iPhone departed Alaska and never was scanned until the night before delivery. Apple says Monday and so does the UPS app so I assume it will be scanned tomorrow and ship to Ontario California.

I ordered an iPhone XS 256 Space Gray on Monday September 17 at 5:30p central time.

The original arrival was estimated between October 1 to 8, then updated to Thursday September 27, then updated to Tuesday September 25, and now whatever "We're updating plans to schedule your delivery" means. ;)

I'm anxious to get the XS, of course, but compared to that original October 8 date, I'm feeling pretty fortunate right now.

Flights arrived in ONT at 3:38am and 5:13am this morning (Saturday). Nothing showing yet for Sunday, but from what I can see, they're generally afternoon arrival times.
 
So how many of my pallet buddies went to the store today to check out what's in the mail? I went. It was crowded. Phones are neat. I looked at the watches, and they just looked huge to me, so I'll pass on that, even though they are very nice (just not a watch person)

Point is: this thread has slowed :D
 
I don’t think anyone will see movement until Sunday night late. As best I can tell UPS’s “weekend” is late Friday night until late Sunday night. When they pick back up, movement will occur. Those who departed Anchorage Friday night will get their package scanned in Louisville at that time. Those stuck in ZZ on 9/21 will catch the next flight Sunday night/Monday morning ET out of China and be in Louisville by overnight Monday into Tuesday ET.

UPS moves product and scans 24/7/365. This lack of tracking updates is definitely not the norm.

I had Monday delivery showing till an hour ago. Now most of the tracking info along with schedule has disappeared.
 
I just noticed movement. It is 2:15pm in China right now so this update was about an hour ago. Delivery was to be the first week in Oct, then this Friday, now they are saying maybe this Wednesday (but not guaranteed).

I'm with you. Getting old. I might consider going to the Apple Store today if it shows they have stock once they're open.

I thought about it for a second last night, but they didn’t have any 512gb phones at my store.

And I leave on a trip this morning, so I’ll be pretty distracted until tonight anyway. Since that’s Monday morning China time, maybe there’ll be an update then like others have said.
