Dunno about that, because quite a few of us just got an origin scan from Zhengzhou with a 9/22 delivery.
Got a tip for us?

Mine shipped and due for delivery 9/22. I was full price Verizon. Orig del. 10/18-10/31.
My Verizon 7+ JB 128gb has a 9/23 shipping date, but I still don't have CC charged or any new info since the confirmation email at 2:20am (central) on the 9th....how are people with October dates getting ahead of mine with tracking info already?? 
The real research to do now is:
Those who convinced Apple to ship expedited and paid the extra $8 did they get their phones yet and what was their original PFS, confirmation email etc.

Doesn't make a difference. Mine was upgraded for free, and still sat in China for 48 hours and now still sitting in Korea, missing flights. I'm so used to seeing things move fast when they're over on that side of the globe from Apple, so this is extremely disappointing.
I don't think expedited shipping makes a difference, it gets to you as quickly as it can from the factory. overnight is more or less impossible. If you look at the apple store fine print, all iPhone orders ship expedited (whether that's 1-2 days because they're already stateside or 3-4 days because they're overseas is another story)
Completely disagree... As long as our phones leave China at 430am ET tomorrow, they should be out for delivery on Thursday. See tracking for my wife's phone that shipped out a couple days before me... It's out for delivery today...

Looks like those of us with the ship of 9/19 many have the 11:30pm Arrival Scan in Zhengzhou and had either a 9/21 or 9/22 arrival now have been pushed a day. However, I spoke to UPS support and they are still claiming they are on time
Not sure if I believe that. UPS is clearly overloaded in Zhengzhou with only the 1 flight in late afternoon and there is nothing they can really do at this point.Sounds like this batch has been sitting there for 24 hours due to customs and hopefully will make the 4:00pm China time flight to Incheon or this will be pushed another day. Its only 1am Wed in China now, so we continue to wait and see if they can get those pallets in gear to send over to Korea.

That's wishful thinking! So what flight would that be once that ends up happening any idea? No updates since 11:30pm Monday china time.
That's the weird thing, there aren't actually any UPS flights that I could find that go from ZhengZhou to Incheon. I'm not sure if they are trucking them there or not?
There is a UPS flight that goes from Zhengzhou to Incheon (Seoul) at ~4:20pm China time according to other posters that have shipped out of CGO. My guess is that they try to get everything ready/processed through customs and loaded for that flight to Korea. Our batch sat around yesterday (Tuesday in China) and didn't get on the Incheon flight so they continue to sit until hopefully they go out tonight. It goes from Zhengzhou->Incheon, then from Incheon->Anchorage->Louisville->your hub. Hopefully once it gets out of China then it will start moving. I imagine the capacity from Zhengzhou to Korea is pretty limited point in the supply chain.
If this is true, it might explain why people's phones are getting stuck in ZhengZhou as well.

Isnt there a flight at 11 pm est from ZhengZou to KR? Atleast thats what I saw on flightaware
You wont be able to track them. The only ones that are traceable are passenger flights. According to this article from 2012, UPS has a cargo flight going from both locations (article stated a 767 but this was from 2012: http://www.chinaaviationdaily.com/news/21/21683.html
They can't truck them, they would have to drive through North Korea, which definitely isn't happening. My only guess is that Apple or (more likely) a contractor gets them from ZhengZhou to Incheon - and that is probably where the holdup is.
That's about
they will ship tonight/ tomorrow and we will have them 22
Thanks for the update. It's weird that we can see all the other UPS flights except for that one.

It's going to get an arrival scan back in ZhengZhou... I think they transfer it to a different hub there.
Actually mine's now en-route to Anchorage. So I have a reasonable chance of delivery tomorrow based on past experience. It then goes to Louisville and then to the local hub for delivery.
Hmm, so about 40 minutes later... It's likely going from the warehouse to the airport. I presume the next departure is then on the flight to Seoul?
Exact thing happened with my iPhone last year. Spoke with UPS and they had no idea what it meant....but iPhone showed up on time.
Correct. Sometime around 430pm China Time/430am ET is when you should see it leave...
