If your phone is sitting in ZhengZhou (like mine) it's currently "In Transit to UPS" and in the hands of the sender still. My delivery date got bumped to 9/21 but even that feels optimistic.
If it shows 9/21 I don't see any issues with you getting it then.
My wife's rose gold left ZhengZhou at 430pm local time (about 430am ET this morning), and went to Incheon... Left Incheon for Alaska this moring/afternoon, and it just landed in Anchorage around an hour ago...

So if the same timing holds true, it will leave China around 430am ET, get to Incheon, and then land in Anchorage around 430pm ET tomorrow afternoon... Then off to Louisville and then your location.

Guys relax! I've done this every year. The tracking is delayed but we will get our phones on the delivery date. Mine is still in China but I'm still 99% sure it's gonna be at my door tomorrow.

Last time my phone said it was in China when I went to sleep the night before delivery but when I woke up the tracking was fully updated and my phone was out for delivery.

Calm. Down. Please! Trust me.
I hope you're right
 
Just called UPS. They are not showing a delay of any sort. She said that these packages are shipped in bulk and do miss scans. She said if it was going to be delayed, they would be notified right away but have not received such information yet. She recommended that I sign up for text message alerts and that is the quickest way of knowing what's going on with your delivery.

I agree. I was charged Thursday with my phone still in China. Friday morning it was already departing Pittsburgh on the way to me in Ohio. Although I did not receive it until today. Today was the date I was quoted with though by UPS.
 
Well... time to stick a fork in it folks. It probably was not a fluke that we weren't getting update scans.

My date just got updated to Wednesday 21st. :(:mad:

Been saying this for a while but any case that requires you to snap the phone in place is not going to leave a pretty sight on the JB iPhone. Basically all the Spigen cases require you to do this. Obviously it will leave marks. I dont know why anyone would buy a case that is going to consistantly be scraping a hard surface againt the JB finish.

The leather official case is the only one I am comfortable using.

The Spigen case I bought has a rubbery back with a gun metal bumper that goes around the frame of the case. No hard plastic at all comes into contact with the phone, and it looks great on it.

No, not all the Spigen cases require that. They do make full TPU cases; I have one sitting on my desk at home. They are quite flexible. That said, I'm still hoping my Apple Leather Case shows up before my phone.
 
JB 7+ 256 pre-ordered from Apple with time of 3:16 EST. CC charged Friday night and order moved to PFS! Orig ship date of 10/18-10/31. No info with UPS or FedEX tho. *fingers crossed!
 
Everyone who's iPhone is still in ZhengZhou with a delivery date of 9/20 needs to relax. This happens every year. I guarantee that in a few hours all of our tracking will update and our phones will be much closer than they appear right now. We will all get our phones tomorrow no problem. Again, I've been doing this since 2010 and this happens all the time.

I agree with your comments. I have seen this happen since 2007 as I've been ordering the iPhone for 10 years UPS is always slow to update their tracking during this time
 
Hey guys! So my iPhone 7 Plus Jet Black 128GB was delivered today. I just wanted to share a little feedback and some initial first impressions. First off, I was part of the 9/26-10-3 group during preorder and was charged Thursday. The entire process moved incredibly fast after being charged, so hang in there everyone. It's well worth it. Anyway.. I have to say, after reading all the negative comments and reviews regarding the JB finish, I was starting to second guess myself and almost made the switch to the Matt Black model. (I am very OCD, and I baby every single  product I own.) I stuck to my guns though and waited for what seemed like an eternity to receive mine lol, and boy am I glad I did! I was blown away once I opened up the box and saw how absolutely gorgeous and stunning that Jet Black finish really is. Online pictures of it definitely does not do it justice by any means. Absolutely gorgeous! I did go with a clear case made by Spigen along with a glass shield, so I will do everything I can over the course of the next year to protect the amazing finish on it. Now that that's out of the way, the A10 fusion chip performs as advertised in pretty much smoking every other phone on the market today. Apps open in the blink of an eye and the software is as buttery smooth as one would come to expect from a product branding the  logo. Audio is another big stand out that I noticed right away upon making my first couple of phone calls and placing the party on speaker. The clarity is a pretty big improvement over my iPhone 6S Plus and of course the noticeable difference in the loudness of the device due to the stereo speakers. I can already tell this will be a welcomed addition by many. Especially those that watch movies and stream entertainment from the device. As far as the removal of the headphone jack, to me this was never an issue with me as I already own a pair of wireless beats, and I plan on buying the AirPods once they release later this year. The dongle adapter is included so that whole ordeal to me was blown way out of proportion anyway. No harm no foul. The display is also another improvement that I noticed right away. The colors seem to pop more along with an added increase in the clarity of text and images. Not that the 6S Plus had a bad display by any means, but I do notice the improved retina display. Finally, with the camera.. I have only played with it a bit so far but I do plan on going out this evening to test it out in further detail. I apologize if anyone is bothered by the length of this post, but I know there are quite a few people still waiting for their models to arrive. I just don't want anyone to run into second thoughts just based off of the wait period. I promise you, it is well worth the wait. Take care everyone!

Nicely done sir
 
My phone that was scheduled to be delivered on 10-17 October is now in Preparing for Shipment status.

I would think the flexible clear cases would be the ones that show bubbles. Are you saying the hard surface clear cases will leave bubbles ?
