At this point I think I'm gonna email Tim Cook and personally request a drone to take my phone from ZhengZhou to my doorstep in Minneapolis.
Got a tip for us?

7+ Jet Black (128/256) Date Change Thread

Well I'm happy. My phone was originally scheduled to arrive about this time next month but I'm getting it this Friday instead. 
Luckily my 7 Plus 128GB Verizon Jet Black is confirmed to be on UPS99 and is on its way to Anchorage. And, with 7 UPS flights leaving Alaska for Louisville after UPS99 lands, I'm extremely hopeful a long wait will soon be over! Hopefully tomorrow.
Good vibes to those who are still in limbo. I'm rooting for you!

Our phones must be together then as I received the departure scan from Incheon too.
Still no date listed on my tracking though.
I have a good feeling it will come tomorrow!
I've been underwhelmed by this entire launch, my 128GB JB ATT + was coming Tuesday then Wednesday and now I don't even have a delivery date. I spent $1000 with AppleCare+ and my device is seemingly just sitting in China. I've had every phone since launch and never been so aggravated.
This has me hopeful that tracking may surprise me later and say I made it onto UPS99...
What time did you order? I have exact same order, exact same delivery dates and I'm still processing?! Sad
I'd just like to say "darn you, macrumors!" I was reserved to the fact it'd be a month before I'd see my phone but now you have me checking on and off all day!
Hi. Yesterday morning my package said it would be delivered 9/22.
Today I got rescheduled and bumped to 9/23.

How amazing would it be if Apple products were just assembled here in America
Mine is also apparently on that flight which departed incheon at 10:34. Maybe I'll actually get it tom'w.
And yet my October 4-10 is stuck on 'preparing' for shipment?!?!? Total BS!Same exact boat here
I liked this and then I thought about the Mac Pro that I waited MONTHS for. Those were made in America. And it was this times 5
Same thing happened to mine. It originally said scheduled for delivery Wednesday then rescheduled for Thursday and now it says that and no date for delivery.
Same! And then I get upset that people who ordered 3 minutes earlier then me will have their phones by Thursday!!! Why Apple?
I've got a feeling those of us with a 9/22 delivery, but still sitting in China are going to see our delivery dates bumped...
I feel sorry for anyone still stuck in china. That really sucks big time.
Really annoyed. My phone with initially predicted delivery date (by UPS) of tomorrow is now rescheduled for Thurs delivery. Why would Apple use Express Saver shipping for a launch when things were already backordered? Regretting not calling in and arguing for expedited shipping now...
My package is stuck in Korea. Guess I didn't make the flight out. Contacted UPS and they stated:
"I was able to get more details. Apple has a contract with UPS in which if they exceed the amount of packages they ship during a certain day, UPS will have to reschedule the extra packages and yours was affected by this delay"
Very Frustrated!

Bumped back.
No way it's going to arrive in two days if it hasn't even left China yet.
Just sayin....temper expectations in spite of what UPS tells you.
I'm really not happy either.
No updates in UPS tracking in over 24 hours. I feel like I should have argued for expedited shipping as well.
This is the shipping service they used.
Delivery
Commitment Export:
Now Apple always send things overnight from Asia typically. Not sure why things are so different in this case.
My delivery has slipped to Friday from Thursday. That'll be one week from PFS to delivered. This is nuts!
Looks like they're trying to save cost on shipping.
