I'll say it again, if the phones are still in Asia, then there is zero chance they will be here tomorrow, it doesn't matter what the guy on the phone is telling you. The flight time to the US for the fastest commercial plane is going to be between 12 and 15 hours. That means if your phone left right now it wouldn't be to the states in time for you to get it tomorrow.

In all fairness, I've been receiving updates waaaayy later than when the actual item was being moved around, so not unless it actually left S.K. Sometime ago, there could be still a chance.

i have mine as pickup so technically they have all day tomorrow as well :)
 
It's funny y'know. Here we are complaining about the 99 getting delayed. According to flightaware's 7-day average, it's actually on time. :rolleyes:

Question for you: when you look really close at the back, do you see somewhat of a "grainy" surface by chance? I've been closely inspecting my phone the last couple of days to see how it's holding up (great so far) but noticed it wasn't actually a "mirror" finish. Now I'm irrationally paranoid that I'm wiping it down too much/hard or something.
 
Based on flightaware, there are so many flights from Anchorage to Louisville.. But only one flight from Incheon to Anchorage per day. Weird.
 
One thing that consoles me a little is that our phones have to be on flight 99. It makes no sense for them to unload the plane and onto another one. So if that logic makes sense then someone else can chime in on that too

That makes sense. 99 is now the last flight out of Anchorage for now. The only other reason is... *gasp* we were jailed in AK.

Let's not think about that last sentence. :)

But if it was on 99 as it had to be why would they remove it from that flight since it was continuing on to Louisville?
 
Just got mine today, all i can say is wow.... Beautiful phone, didn't get a chance to see one until opening mine today. i got a ZAGG glass on it immediately and the apple leather case. I have the black one as well and i have to say naked the Jet Black is easier to hold... Looks like a very solid build, seamless and smooth. My date was Sep 26 to Oct 3.

Another day and still processing:(

256GB 7+ AT&T Jet Black delivery dates 10/18-10/31

Stuck there with you. Literally at Apple's mercy. No Apple Stores within 4-5 hours, and don't want to lock in with a carrier (not like they have stock anyway).
 
My phone just left Anchorage too! I just noticied this also. From the time it leaves its origin, it takes UPS 1-2 business days to have it at our doorsteps. Us who left China on the 20th have up until the 22nd for UPS to deliver it to us. I hope I get it Wednesday instead of Thursday

Unbelievable. My phone is still stuck in ZhengZhou, China and my tracking hasn't updated in almost 24 hours now. This is stressing me out way too much.
Right there with you. My tracking hasn't updated in almost 36 hours. So annoyed that it's sat there for a day and a half now with zero movement. Seriously, UPS, what the hell?
