SO MANY PLOT TWISTS
 
I’m thinking some Scans got missed

This is common. Once the pallets leave the factory and make it to the carrier (any carrier: UPS, FDX, DHL, Cargolux, etc.), those pallets are all fighting for the same physical space on an aircraft. Most make it, but for those that don't, they are waiting for the next available flight. When it comes in and gets the scan, it makes it onto the plane and off it goes. So it all depends on how many planes are available in Shanghai when the pallets are at the field.

BL.
 
I always go caseless for the last few iPhones. I just ordered the Peak MagSafe compatibible slim wallet, though, and I'm excited to use that. I never use my Apple leather MagSafe wallet because it comes off too easily. It arrives same day as the phone!
Caseless LET’S GO! I’m the same way.

This is correct! Thank you!
 
I received my storm blue silicone case today via UPS. I love the color. There are many shades of navy and it is my second favorite. One shade lighter than my favorite, which is almost black navy. The fine woven blue is too light. A nice color though. I can't believe a silicone case is $49. Or that the fine woven is $59.
 
An update for those who want to request UPS to hold your package: I called Apple per UPS's suggestion that Apple are the ones who placed restrictions on orders from Apple which started sometime a few weeks/months ago this year.

We should take this as a grain of salt but the Apple representative informed that there was an increase of activity that they could not control and that they indeed placed restrictions due to thefts from internally at UPS with requesting holds at hubs and external folks taking advantage of the UPS Hold my package location.

However, per the Apple Customer Service rep, Apple CS will have the ability to remove restrictions if requested by the customer only when the order status at Apple reflects as "on route" to customer with a tracking no. Only Apple can make this request on behalf of the customer.

Looping the community in as I know many folxs pick-up at UPS hubs. Let's hope this is the case. I'll keep everyone updated.
Thanks for going the extra mile in calling and updating.

I'm going to wait till it clears customs and try UPS CS and see what they say at that point.
