Count me among those still stuck in ZZ...

View attachment 787900

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.
My phone is on the same pallet. Just adding up flight times it doesn't seem physically possible for my phone to make it to Lubbock by tomorrow morning unless it has already left and tracking just hasn't updated.

UPS and Apple order page still says Tuesday delivery, but phone is, according to UPS, still in ZZ (since 9/21) -- wondering if there is a glitch in the tracking system, or they really think they can pull off a ZZ -> Washington, DC adventure in approximately 24 hours, probably less than 24 from the way things look.

Yeah that’s strange. If you have the 28-5th date and ordered through Apple it should be in route. People with later dates have already shipped. I would call Apple.
So I have the same issue 28th-5th date 256 silver XS max-still says order processing. When I log into the apple store it says “This item will take longer than usual to ship. As soon as it’s ready, we’ll send you an update and prepare the shipment.” I have contacted them twice and they say it will deliver in 1-2 weeks.
 
Wow still no movement for those of us in ZZ. Frustrating to wake up and see that. :/

Yep, still stuck in ZZ since 9/21

Mines out for delivery...

Verizon XS Max 256gb SG ordered ~2 hours after store went live... originally had Sep 28 - Oct 5 delivery date (shipping to US)

It sounds like people who ordered before me are still waiting? They seemed to have botched shipping this year
 
Wife's phone is in the neighboring town! She'll get her phone today. :) I was hoping that if my phone was with her phone, mine would have gotten scanned when hers did. Oh well, that hope faded. ZZ hell!!! :p

I am quickly losing hope.

As much as I try to remain positive, I'm still bummed out at the prospect of not getting my phone on the promised time :( sure it's just a phone, but I was really excited to get it on Tuesday! Had my entire day planned around it, lol (I know...)

At least you get one of the phones :p Congrats!

Mine moved just a little bit last night, odd though it went to Taiwan. It was supposed to be delivered today, but that's not going to happen.

Same. I DM’ed UPS this morning and they said there is no update because the package is in transit.

Kinda weird they would say it is "in transit" when it arrived but hasn't departed yet. Assuming yours is just like mine. lol. Blah. I best just focus on work today.

I have a lot of downtime at work today, which doesn't help with my obsession to constantly check the tracking update... at least I'll be stuck in meetings tomorrow morning to keep me distracted from the fact I won't be getting my phone (or I do, by some miracle!) :confused:

I'm one of the lucky one who is stuck in ZhengZhou. After it shipped Apple said I'd receive it on Oct 4-8. UPS said Sept 25 up until they removed any date. Now Apple says I'll have it tomorrow.

I feel like the phones are not in ZhengZhou and are probably in the US somewhere. Why it hasn't been tracked I do not know. It's not like one phone is missing, it's a pallet. The pallet did not get lost.
 
It came! Seen my driver walking around in the parking lot with my package. And I was just about to leave for work lol.

Congrats! Time to update that signature :)

Hopefully we don't have to launch an investigation into our pallet being 'missing' and the phones are in fact somewhere in the US.

Honestly, I would be surprised if there were no scans on these. I've ordered from Amazon for over a decade (I think?) and have dealt with a LOT of UPS packages. I'll be pleasantly surprised if so, but I bet the decision was made to let this pallet sit because, after all, it wasn't promised till October 5th at the latest. So why waste the $? Just really really weird to see absolutely no movement for 3+ days.

I'll be checking my ZZ UPS tracking and post as soon as I see any movement.

I'm wondering where our phones are going? Doesn't look like there are too many flights to Anchorage from Taiwan?

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.
