My phone is in with your phones!!! I'm thinking UPS likely won't do a tracking update until tomorrow (Monday). My experience with Apple orders is two days once it gets to the states. From Louisville, it would fly to Ontario, California in the LA area, trucked up the coast to a hub near me and delivered the day it gets there. I'm hoping (HOPING) it arrives before Thursday (the official delivery date - 10/2) but even Thursday is OK with me.
 
Anyone else stuck in China with me since the 25!!

Lets hope so. I'm sure the Chinese holiday is already built into their delivery estimates. If it says you'll get it on the 2nd then you'll get it then and it'll be out of China before the holiday. It makes sense to go through Alaska -- China is a long ways from Louisville.

Also, the reason your item went to Nashville is because it was on a FedEx plane. FedEx's main hub is in Nashville. But, believe me, any phone being delivered by UPS in the lower 48 will go through Louisville first. It seems ridiculous, especially if you live in like Washington state or something like that, but it's the most efficient way. In case you didn't know (and I'm not trying to sound condescending), it's called the Hub and Spoke model. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoke-hub_distribution_paradigm

FedEx's main hub is Memphis, not Nashville.

Mine's there too! Ordered iPhone 6, T-mo, space grey early on the 20th. My UPS delivery date was changed from October 1 to the 2nd.

I don't mind the waiting (much), it's the lack of movement that ticks me off!

Yep mines been stuck there also. I'm hoping for movement later today or early tomorrow as it's soon to be Monday in China. I'm a 10/2 delivery according to UPS.

I'm a bit worried because here are some shipments that were processed 2 days later than ours, and are already on Louisville.

I know that UPS still can make it, but the lack of updates, the yesterday's "reset" and reschedule from 10/01 to 10/02 seems strange to me.

If you look at the tracking posted above, once it leaves ZhengZhou, it zips through Anchorage to Louisville pretty much within 24 hours. Because everything on the UPS website was normal this morning WITH UPDATED info, I'm sure the weirdness of last night was maintenance. It started about 9 pm our time which would be midnight eastern - about as good a "dead" time as you could get under non-iPhone circumstances.

Also, there's been no further movement out of Louisville, which to me indicates the typical UPS lack of movement over weekends. OR it could just be the website won't be updated until tomorrow.

woo, early delivery!
 
BTW, if anyone is interested, the holiday in China starts 10/01, so no, that's not the reason for the delays (if there's a delay)....
 
To my knowledge, the holiday has No effect on Foxconn and shipping. The holiday starts on Oct 1-7, but as I have read, Foxconn does NOT stop operating. Could you imagine if they shut down for 7 days? Ya, no offense to them, but that ain't happening.
 
The only Chinese holiday I see is "National Day" on Wednesday, October 1st. With all these pre-orders still needing to be fulfilled, I hope they have some employees interested in holiday pay, overtime pay, whatever they call it over there! Get these orders moving, holiday or no holiday. That may sound a bit harsh, but my god, keep it moving :apple:
