It blows my mind that mail orders have delivery dates of October when my local Chicago store has all unlocked versions of the Xs and Xs Max, all colors and sizes, in stock.
Got a tip for us?

Has it changed since sat mine hasntYeah...I’m so sick of this screen...
This just sucks - still no movement from ZZ for almost 4 days now. Meanwhile iPhones that shipped 1 - 2 days behind mine are set for delivery tomorrow. After 12 years of pre-orders I am finally done. Next year I will just go to an Apple store on launch day. I’ve had iPhones delivered in the amount of time mine has sat in ZZ.
I am genuinely happy for those of you that are seeing movement on your iPhones. Huzzah, my Apple friends! Relish the feeling that your new iPhones will be in your hands very soon. 
And if you have been stuck all weekend in China or Hong Kong, you are not alone. I'm right there with you. Our iPhones are apparently on the same pallet just hanging around in southeastern China, totally oblivious to the fact that we are a continent away refreshing our UPS tracking numbers every 5 minutes (or even more frequently!).
Hang in there, fellow pallet-mates! We'll wait this one out together.

It’s comforting to see people sharing the same problem reporting each other their status, thank you guys all for taking a part in this thread. My phone is still in ZZ but I still hold hope for Tuesday delivery like they say on their website. I keep checking here and my UPS tracking page every 10 minutes lol
You guys are so calm about your orders! I’d be so pissed!! Kudos to you. This might have been asked before but no way to walk into an Apple store, ask for stock and switch to a store pick up? Or to cancel this one and pick up one in store?
My phone just completed it’s destination scan.. should be here no later than 1:15pm EST! The hunt for a clear, shock proof case is on after work! Btw I’m never preordering again lol
So my wife’s phone has been suck in Hong Kong all weekend. It’s just showing movement to Taiwan. I’m totally shocked the phones didn’t move ALL weekend. They must of had a huge issue. Her phone finally has an delivered date of Tuesday.

[doublepost=1537782172][/doublepost]In my opinion , preorders have improved so much over the years! Every two years I get the new iPhone and the wait time after preorders continues to diminish. First iPhone preorder :00:05 after pre order, a MONTH wait..
Last iPhone preorder 00:40 after preorder started , 2 weeks wait
This preorder 00:44 after preorder started , 3 day wait..
Great job Apple!

I have no choice but to stick with preorders because the nearest Apple store is 1.5 hrs away

Annnnnnnndddd.....no update....
So, a full work day has passed in China but nothing happened to our phones?
I’m not SO concerned as I’m too busy right now to do anything about it anyway...at least today.
But tomorrow...driving to Atlanta and then flying to Louisville, so if there is still no update tomorrow morning that my phone will actually be in Louisville tomorrow for pickup, I WILL just run to a local store in either Atlanta before my flight or Louisville when I arrive there.
One way or another, I’m getting my phone tomorrow!!

Mine moved overnight as well. IIRC, last year Apple requested to hold shipments because of volume so maybe that's what happened here?
I'm happy since I was assuming it would be here at the end of my delivery window on the 5th. Fingers crossed.

Destination scan this morning. Window is currently 2:30-6:30 pm
Thoughts with those still languishing in ZZ or elsewhere

For me, If they definitely have it in stock, I would take the drive rather than go through this again. That’s not a far ride to me. I would pre order again, but for pick up only.
I do hope you and your wife receive your phones soon, that delivery date is a really huge jump since the first iPhone.
What a train wreck - still stuck in ZZ with no update for over 4 days. Wow...just wow. Something is not right.
But technically, it has t even been 3 days, right?
11pm Friday night was 11 am eastern time. Today at 11 am will be three days.
And considering the first updated was Friday night at 11 pm...
Doesn’t make me feel any better once they gave me a Tuesday delivery at that time...which seemed totally plausible...let’s see how the day pans out.
But yeah....sucks...
It seems we are in the same pallet. My tracking is exactly the same as yours. Scheduled delivery for tomorrow. It is surprising that the phone was sitting a whole weekend in Hong Kong without moving.
My phone is OUT FOR DELIVERY!!!

I kinda wish she got hers first (happy wife happy life lol) but she’s not as impatient as I , so when I told her that her phone comes tomorrow, she said ok cool! Lol I wish I could take the drive, but my teacher schedule doesn’t help with that.
Count me among those still stuck in ZZ...
It looks like the only UPS flights into Anchorage are coming from Incheon and from Shenzhen. Back on Friday night, @Nate Dawg said the next flight from ZZ to ICN isn't until Monday night China time (Monday morning here). I don't see any flights scheduled from ZZ to ICN on FlightAware, so I'm not sure where he got that information, but hopefully maybe we'll see some movement here soon.
The flight is only 2 hours, so once we get out of China, maybe we can get on a flight to Anchorage shortly thereafter.
