Yeah... No. My phone's been in KY for over a day now:

Louisville, KY, United States 09/26/2013 12:02 A.M. Import Scan
Louisville, KY, United States 09/25/2013 2:31 A.M. Import Scan
Louisville, KY, United States 09/25/2013 12:54 A.M. Arrival Scan

I did say "if your phone makes one of these planes". Yours obviously didn't. It looks like something happened in customs, perhaps you got unlucky and your pallet got picked for a manual inspection.
 
Both my phones made it Tacoma, WA today around 1:30pm. (ordered around 12:06am Pacific)

Of course, I still have to wait for mine as I am not currently in the country so my wife mailed mine to me. Here's to another week of waiting!
 
Looks like mine missed the connection:

Louisville, KY, United States 09/26/2013 5:12 A.M. The scheduled connection was missed.
09/26/2013 3:20 A.M. Import Scan
09/26/2013 2:05 A.M. Arrival Scan

Hopefully you guys have better luck. Really hope it at least gets here on Friday.

Have no idea why its in poughkeepsie.. theres no airport around there. At least not that I know of. But thats ok. at around 11:30 today I'll have my phone! =D
Unless the truck to elmsford breaks down. please don't let that happen...
 
Mine updated all the sudden and says it'll be here by thurs 3pm? I don't trust this since it looks like they are walking it over here now.

Anyone think I should rely on it coming by 3 based on the screenshot?

Thank you!

It's HERE!
Boston Northshore Space Grey T-M no contract

I hope eventually Verizon will allow this phone since it is now compatible with their full network.

Initially I'll probably use AT&T initially, a SIM was delivered at the same time... nice and convenient.

I activated on AT&T with only a couple issues. I never did get the "Device Unlocked" message from iTunes, not initially and not after a restore. The SIM just worked (purchased as T-mobile phone).

No LTE until I called AT&T. Their automated system said they detected a basic talk/text phone even though I selected Smartphone for activation. Later the rep confirmed it was Apple 5S and they had me power down my phone again and back up to get LTE.

The rep was happy to keep reminding me I had an incredible 2GB of data every month. I didn't have the heart right then to explain how pathetic that was, because I needed them to get the basics working.

Their website is pretty bad and they should fix all the things that don't work correctly.

As for the Phone, I like it. I'm one of the few that like a smaller phone as I have several pieces of clothing with dedicated cellphone pockets, and larger phones don't fit. I have an iPad, laptop and desktop for a larger screen and really like the smaller phones. One of my main motivations for getting the 5S is I figure they may bow to pressure and increase the size too much on the next model, and if the keep a smaller sized on in the line it may not have the premium casing.

I really like the fingerprint reader and it was another reason to get the phone, I've used a reader on my Sony Vaio for several years now and I think it's the best. I'm not trying to turn the phone into Fort Knox, and having the reader is just a much nicer experience. Luckily I had used one for a long while so I knew to dismiss the naysayers who just didn't understand this feature. I laughed at the cat paw activation too, that was a good laugh.
 
Thinking mine might not get delivered today. Apparently my iPhone missed its connecting flight going out of Louisville. Maybe tomorrow.
 
For those of you with vzw 32gb gold that just recently shipped , where is your phone? Mine just arrived in Korea and is still scheduled for Friday delivery. (Crossing fingers)

Same - 5:15am - The scheduled connection was missed

Damn - agonizing
 
I'm in love with ups right now. Can't believe they pulled this off.

Good luck all. Hope for the best!

I have the exact same tracking as you with missed connection in Louisville. My ATT 32 GB Space Gray is heading for South Florida, how about you?

Was it delayed because you had it held at will call at a hub or other reasons?

I'm in California and mine missed that same flight at the same time. I've never paid this much attention to UPS logistics, it's pretty interesting.

Lol it boggles the mind but have a look see at my tracking so far.

A few hours ago I was wondering how was it possible to get it delivered in another state on the same day! Less than 5 hours later it's in another state AND already on a truck out for delivery in my zip code.

Have fun tracking your phone!

not sure, but I do believe if you call to change delivery or have it for will call, there is a glitch and it will get delayed. From what I've seen the only packages that didn't make their flights were the ones that had a change in delivery.
