My gold 32gb ATT is scheduled to deliver by EOD Monday, October 7. It is sitting in Incheon. I know there are many of us in this shipment. Deliver by EOD Monday? I know there is the time differential but it seems by Monday involves some sort of time distortion.
I'm not one of the people to freak out about if the phone would make it or not, UPS logistics are weird. They get it done. I know well have our phones by the delivery day. Don't worry about it bein stuck in incheon, it'll get out and be here by Monday. It'll PROBLY do most of it's traveling today or tomorrow.
16gb gold att scheduled for EOD Monday
Not freaking. Just frustrating to see it stall out, from a non-UPS logistician point of view. I think we all like seeing that persistent progression to delivery.
It's the thrill of the hunt, very loosely speaking. It'll deliver when it delivers.

Amen! Monday can't come soon enough!!
eBay and Paypal fees
Yeah, I am an experienced seller on eBay, but I don't recommend selling high demand/value items for noobs. The issue you described refers to "charge back" on a seller, if a fraudulent buyer later claims an unauthorized purchase or never received the item, then Paypal will hold the received funds until dispute resolution.
To avoid this - always get qualified for eBay + Paypal Seller Protection, by requiring in auction:
1) Ships Only to Paypal Confirmed Address.
2) Delivery Confirmation tracking numbers.
3) Required Signature confirmation.
4) Insurance.
5) Immediate Paypal Payment.
Anyways, I had a legit buyer and eBay fees were about %10 + Paypal fees %2.9. Shipping with USPS priority 2-day with all of the above is pretty cheap for a 1.5 lbs package ($29).
My Net Proceeds from this sale were about $820+ USD.

Great for you! Really hope mine is the same.

conspiracy theory:
all gold phones shipping to US are packaged one on pallet. someone knows which pallet it is and has 'misplaced' them because of the short supply of gold model.
if ups starts move the dates out or no ones phone arrives on the monday/tuesday EOD as schedule, i would be suspect they have been taken

I have a serial number already: https://supportprofile.apple.com

So it's build week 39, that means it's less than a week old. I will have it, and it might only be days old, maybe still oven warm. Oh how sweet it is. If the screen is yellow, I am not going to worry about it. However after a month, I will have some concerns. If I have gyro issues, I will let you know.

Bummed About UPS Service
My iPhone missed the schedule connection on 10/4. But received a message that Package was left in UPS Delivery for Saturday deliver (instead of Monday
) I contact UPS and they confirmed Sat delivery. Got up this morning and found that the status has changed again back to Monday. I know it's not the end of world, but when your expectations are set for Sat and you then get a message that it's now Monday, you're bummed. Very poor job UPS for setting expectations and disappointing.

That's a neat trick looking up the serial number.

I knew they were shipping these as fast as they could manufacture them. Now off to see how to check for gyro issues.
By the way, thanks for starting this thread. It made the wait for the precious much more bearable!

You're in my neighborhood. So we may get our phones at the same time. I wasn't on a missed flight, but at least your phone is in Rocklin. Mine is still in Korea, like many others.
Is this only accurate if your phone is already in Korea? I'm still stuck in ZhengZhou...EOD is end of day on Tuesday.
