How long does it normally take in this step? It’s weird how I’ve seen a few people that are on the same pallet as me package has already been released but yet mine is being held by the government agency.
 
UPS is also telling me Oct 19. Apple originally estimated 10/21 - 10/28 then when it went to preparing to shipment it went to 10/25 - 11/1. Shipped last night and Apple says Oct 22
This is exactly the same with me. Originally 10/21-10/28, moved to preparing to ship with 10/25-11/1 and shipped last night with 10/19 (UPS) and 10/22 (Apple).

My original scheduled delivery on UPS was for Friday but since I decided to pick it up at a UPS location, it now says Monday. Has this ever happen to anyone and it was delivered to the UPS earlier than that? Kind of sucks that I now have to wait Monday.
It happens almost every time you request to pick it up at a ups location that isn’t a Customer Center (local hub). UPS has to reroute the package if it’s going to a UPS Store or other location, and that usually causes a delay.
 
Well folks it seems the journey continues… Finally reached Alaska, delivery was updated from Oct 19 to today which is definitely an over site. Here’s hoping I get it tomorrow 🤞🏼

Looks like your pallet made it and mine didn’t?

We must have been on the same plane, as my Alaska time is the same as yours. However, mine still shows a delivery date of 10-19. My first delivery date was 10-14. Previous orders have been delivered the next day after arriving in Alaska. Fingers crossed for both of us.

Seems my journey won’t end until Tuesday Oct 19, delivery was updated once again and the last scan in the system is the Import Scan. At least I can rest assured it is already stateside. Waited this long, what’s a few more days…

I’m still stuck in Korea so you’re a step ahead of me.
 
Mine landed in Louisville at 1:43 am. But still has a delivery estimate of Tuesday! Arghhh!

(Insert customary rant about UPS)
(Insert shrieking about how the world is ending, because I have to wait)
(Insert traditional curse at Apple for not getting it here sooner)
🤣🤣🤣
But, seriously - am getting anxious to get this beauty into my hands!

Well, I just cancelled my order... But, it's not all bad news! Best Buy, strangely, had a few the exact configuration I had ordered (13 Pro in Sierra Blue with 128GB of Storage) in stock and ready to go this morning. Sierra Blue, in person, reminds me very much of Sonic Gray Pearl on recent Honda models. This is a good look. Good luck to all and I wish you the best in getting your orders quickly!

Same I managed to get a 13 Pro from BestBuy, $100 off as well for T-Mobile + activation at Bestbuy.

My poor brother in law is still waiting for his 13 Pro Max, Fedex is awful in our area.

Went out for delivery then back to at local facility after saying by end of day delivery.

Same. Will they deliver over the weekend?
They won’t delivery on weekends. It will be Monday. Sometimes they do on weekends on certain shipments. Also depends. It’s been known that some had their delivered on Saturday. That is because the driver likely didn’t get to their rounds of packages to delivery on Friday and is likely making up for it.
 
I ordered a 13 Pro 256GB Sierra Blue on Sept. 18. It left ZhengZhou, China on 10-8. Then made its journey to the US and left Louisville last night. However, still shows a 10-19 delivery date to California.

I'm really glad for you folks getting your dates moved up and getting your new iPhones, but the fact is that UPS (and their contracting partner Apple) lost my iPhone 13 Pro Max that was due on September 24. The fact that my shipping isn't due until Nov 1 - Nov 8 is now beginning to piss me off. I'm paying for their mistake.

That said, again I'm thrilled for you folks finally getting your new toys. Just make sure to post in the pictures thread for me! 👍
