Which is a real reason. The comment I replied to was implying that the shipping companies are incompetent and just making up excuses instead of them having real issues.

AAaaaaaaaaand my package is delayed due to weather for a second day. 
Phone has been delivered 11:09 am est.
I'm out for delivery, 11:30am - 2:30pm. I'll be watching the door like a hawk today!
Does it really matter in the overall scheme of things? People track these like they are transplant organs.
Does it matter? Probably not. Is it a way to have fun and watch with excitement? Yes.
Mine is here! Yay! Thanks everyone for some fun watching for our phones. Hope you all get yours sooner rather than later!!!
Aannnnnnd in a surprise turn of events, through flooding downpours, UPS just delivered my phone 🥰AAaaaaaaaaand my package is delayed due to weather for a second day.
SO happy for you! I saw the flooding in NYC today and thought, "Uh oh to Phone deliveries". The flooding's awful though, I hope everyone's safe.
Use flight aware. Look for UPS flights from the area it's coming from and to the area it's going to. Correlate the departure time on your UPS tracking to the flight departure times.
No worries about that since I wouldn't have traded it in back then anyway. Was thinking the current values were possibility higher than normal to entice people to upgrade. The trade in for my 13 Pro ($480) isn't far from the used market going rate - looking at ebay and swappa, I could get probably around $550, which after fees/shipping is close $500. Not worth the hassle for $20.
So since it left ZhengZhou 5am today I should check that? Where is it going to? Kentucky or Anchorage?
Got mine at 10:14 this morning.
Now I need to see how to upgrade the iOS before doing the transfer from the old phone.

Typically they travel from Zhengzhou to Incheon, South Korea then to Anchorage, AK then to Louisville, KY before heading from there to your local facility.
Thanks! So I found the first flight I think is right, but the South Korea then to Anchorage I can't find at all. Any ideas?

Memory makes no difference. As long as it is in good condition you get $570.
Omg, a natural titanium 15PM 256 popped up at my local Apple Store. And I went and ordered it for local pickup at 3 pm.
I was starting to get frustrated coz the 15PM was always out of stock in the 256gb I want.
So excited. My iPhone 11 is gonna get replaced

Ditto to the group. My natural T 15Pro was in the same batch and was delivered a couple of hours ago. Original delivery date was 10/4-9.
Finally arrived! Happy iPhone day (again) to all the new deliveries today! 
Verizon eSim activated in about 2 minutes (thankfully - I was worried about that). I'm downloading 17.0.2 now so I can transfer next.
Enjoy, everyone!

Maybe to Korea next then Anchorage and then Louisville. Check the departure UPS scan with flights out of ZhengZhou.
Yeah I believe it went to Korea based on this but to track it next I'm not sure. I haven't had a new scan yet.
