Should I be concerned everyone? No import scan yet, and I did call UPS International to have it be held at the Customer Service Center. I called a second time to confirm, and they told me it's definitely going to be held. But so far no import scan, and no update showing change of delivery. I've been with you all doing iPhones launches for nearly a decade and a half now, but still always freak out until I see it here in California.
That is the import scan lol.

Since we're waiting, what is your go-to drink? I'm very much a bourbon man and dig Old Fashioned(s), but lately been trying Manhattans (granted its supposed to be rye whiskey, but straight bourbon works just as well) and liking them.

If you use the UPS app, it would list the import scan. Desktop browser doesn't seem to show it.

$40 just to get it earlier than 10 AM? And you're not even certain if your phone gets delivered with it too. It might be on separate trucks.
I think I might go with the 10:30 option for $10. This is what my UPS driver said.

Get yourself a decent Rye from Woodford or Bullit. Secret is use good vermouth, my preference is Camparo Antica, its like $30ish per bottle, but well worth it, and for god sake please use a good maraschino cherry like Luxardo

Pina colada and Margarita ;) I like fruity drinks.
 
Is it strange that I got an import scan in KY without an arrival scan? I was part of the 6:05 crew that went on Tuesday night and I think a few other people had similar tracking. I’ve gotten my official shipping notification and tracking number from Apple but I can’t get over the weirdness of not having an arrival scan in KY.
A lot of the scans end up out of order as it gets close to the end. I’ve seen them show up on UPS’s app with arrival scans in KY, followed by departure scans from AK. It’ll all come out in the wash. 😊

Oh I am soooo with you! I use the same Vermouth (Canparo Antica), but for cherries, I use Toschi. Its frickin amazing stuff! Now to state where I'm doing my crime ... I'm using Old Forrester Statesman Bourbon. LOL!!! Yes yes, I know - I should be using a cheaper rye to mix. But hot damn it, it tastes awesome.

For the Toschi cherries:

Blimps, time travel capsules, and private jets have all landed. @Limeybastid may or may not still be with customs security… we need an update.

Even @TheYayAreaLiving and @SisterBlue22 aka SisterSierraBlue have arrived!!! I’m hearing there is a banger of a party happening right now. Mint juleps, bourbons, margaritas, Bellinis, and of course all the top shelf is going around!!

@LFC2020 is eagerly awaiting the arrival of the long awaited Sierra Blue Pro Max. He is in preparation now to provide ALL the details of his pickup and unboxing - otherwise there will be an uproar from his American cohort 😡 Bets are being placed on whether or not he will repeat the unfortunate incident in 2014 where the young man was so excited, he dropped his brand new 6 Plus for the world to see! 😱 @TheYayAreaLiving is counting on it.

Meanwhile, although the statuses still show Processing, the In-Store Pickup crew is in full preparation: topping off their gas tanks, chilling fresh water, and packing their handbags, totes, and daypacks in anticipation for their early morning journey. Many have updated their current devices and made backups as they prepare to say goodbye to their previous iPhones.

There have been reports of storms in the East that may affect some deliveries. We are sending up the positive energies and prayers now and will keep an eye on the situation.

The energy and excitement remains high all around. Much love and comraderie once again as we are less than 12 hours away from iPhone Day 2021!!

Yay! I’m so happy and glad you are here with us. Thank you for all the positive energy. You rock!!! Also, no jury duty today right???
 
Apple did the same for me! I tracked it from the link in the shipping notification and it is coming from Carlisle. PA. So it was some local stock.
I was in the exact same circumstance and my delivery date got bumped up to tomorrow with "Express Delivery" but no update on the Apple order page, no sign of any notification, and no tracking yet. Hope something shows up soon.
