Wow, well that sucks. Mine is STILL in Korea. Yesterday another batch headed out to Alaska; and this morning it sounds like some with phones in China yesterday are already bound for Alaska?

I've been in Korea for ~36hrs.

Maybe Samsung stole it? 🙄

For everyone seeing arrival scans in Louisville last night direct from China or Korea don't get too excited. I think it was some kind of glitch in the system. I had an arrival scan at Louisville at 2:19 am after a departure scan from Korea just two hours before. Shortly after there was an arrival scan in Hong Kong, and now I have a departure scan from HK at 7:13 pm which matches the departure of flight UPS63 to Anchorage. I'm pretty sure the Louisville scan was bogus and my phone is just now getting underway to Anchorage after doing the Asia shuffle for the last three days. Went from ZhengZhou to Incheon to Hong Kong before headed across the Pacific. 😡

It may not be a glitch. I have gone through this for 10 years with Apple and UPS and have found a lot of times that the scans are out of order. that's what UPS told me. it just could be because the time zones, it's just out of order. I've had that happen to me before. what I do is I look at the last location in the section above on the tracking page where it says the current location of your package and if that says Louisville then there's a good chance it's in Louisville.
 
Cheer up, guys!

Once you leave the dreaded "Asia", you're almost guaranteed to get it next-day. For some reason the bottlenecks are only in China or Korea.

I'm sure you both will be getting yours tomorrow! 😀

Mine was stuck in China, randomly showed up in Louisville early this morning, and now is on truck for delivery. So everything we thought we know might be weird the next couple days, but it's a GOOD weird! Good luck everyone!!

Mine was stuck in Korea, then randomly showed up in Louisville, and expected it to be out for delivery today. Instead It randomly showed up in Hong Kong. 😵

Well mine says this so I think I'm screwed:

Last Location:
Departed - Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong, Wednesday, 09/21/2016

I'm still hoping for more surprises today but I'm not holding my breath.

Just call UPS they sometimes have more updated information they can look at them showing up on your tracking

When you look at the scans you have to account for the time change between our countries what may say 921 at whatever time, remember that's ia different time here. I will still give you uPS a call and see what they say

For example mine showed it arrived in Korea and it does not show a scheduled delivery day yet my UPS choice on my delivery planner shows I will have it tomorrow the 22nd. UPS told me the most important scans are the ones that show up in the morning on your day of delivery that's where you have to look at where your phone is that they said when it's shows out for delivery then you know your phone is on the truck and you're getting it that day

Keep in mind that scans are in their local timezones, and don't always appear in-order. So, a scan at 11am in Hong Kong on 9/21 actually took place at 11pm EST on 9/20...

Lots of updates this morning and it looks like I am finally receiving my precious today!

Anybody else appears stuck "shipped" in china?

My JB i7+ 128gb was supposed to arrive today. Yesterday the date kept switching from Tuesday to Wednesday back and forth. This morning the package was updated as "shipped" from China, with no more delivery estimate. Originally I assumed my phone was on a plane, but I am now starting to think it is still sitting in China. This year preordering process has been painful. Like many of you guys, I waited for an update the night before launch, hoping things would smooth out from there. I feel that Apple locked a lot of us in by tying our hands to avoid massive cancellation on the 16th...otherwise I would have tried to pick up another color at the store.

Who else has an arrival scan at Zhangzhou China at 1:05am? Wondering when we are leaving china

I have the same scan. It appears as though there is a departing flight scheduled around 11:00 AM EST. Although, I could be wrong about this. Crossing my fingers that our phones will be on this flight if there is in fact one!

Mine left HK at 7pm (one hour ago) after showing a scan in Kentucky at around 2am. UPS, damn you to hell.
 
I seem to have a unique estimated date range that I don't see repeated a lot.

10/14 - 10/27

Still processing...

Apple.com order 7+256. Order conf 3:30 AM ET.

Exactly in my case my phone was scanned into Korea at 8:01 PM and that is 16 hours ahead of the time it is in Los Angeles so they have plenty of time to ship my phone and get it here on time for delivery to me tomorrow.

For example it's 5:44 AM in Los Angeles right now and in Korea it's like almost 10pm. So everybody really should take into consideration the time differences when you're looking at your tracking. I've seen this every year for 10 years the phone is in one place at one point it looks like it's never going to get to me and the next thing I know it's on the truck for delivery showing local scans

Also even though UPS has not shown a delivery date on the tracking, it does show in my UPS choice delivery planner it will be delivered on the 22nd, I have yet to get a delay shipping email or text or notification from either UPS or Apple. I take this as a good sign because I have I did receive a delay shipping notice from Apple the other day on a case that was coming to me via a local courier because it was already in Los Angeles, and then the case was delivered the day it was due.
