Mine is the exact same. Do you or anyone know what they mean by package will be forwarded to a UPS facility in destination city? Does that mean I have to pick it up at the actual store or it will still be delivered to my house. I'm so confused.

Not sure what that message you have means, mine doesn't say that.

Strangely, on Apple.com it still quotes my delivery as 10/4-10/10. UPS site changed from 9/22 to saying delivery date unknown. Now I just contacted Apple and they are saying it will be delivered 9/23. So those who have the same tracking as me, sounds like we may have just gotten bumped another day... Sigh... I wonder if people who pushed for expedited shipping are dealing with this crap.

Expedited shipping has nothing to do with any of this... EVERYTHING leaves the East as an "overnight" delivery, logistics-allowing. The Expedited just means it will be delivered before 12pm, while the standard "Express Saver" is guaranteed for afternoon delivery (usually before 8pm, which in my experience, means they show up and throw **** at my door at 7:55pm)

Okay that's good to know. But how come people who initially pushed for the "expedited" delivery were showing estimated delivery dates that were 4 days sooner than other people?
 
I feel like ups updates scans like at the end of the day so like I'll check throughout the day and there will be no update. But then the next day I'll check and there will be an update. **** UPS. FedEx is where it's at apparently

Even if your tracking info is not being updated, your phone may still be moving. Keep in mind when I went to sleep last night my phone's last scan was in China. When I woke up, my phone was out for delivery. UPS tracking sucks hard.

Check your UPS delivery date again... some of us in the same situation recently got pushed back to Friday (9/23).

Every wave thus far has been pushed back 1-2 days due to there not being enough room in their plane containers. People who were originally supposed to get delivered on 20th got pushed to 21st or 22nd... I was originally 21st but will now be 22nd or 23rd (Last UPS update is in Korea). You will most likely get your phone Friday, Sat, or Monday.

I've beeen wondering this too! I called UPS back when I was "stuck" in China and requested customer pickup and was told they couldn't really do anything until it was stateside. Wondering if I need to call again.

I've never went through so much hassle with UPS. This is crazy. All I ask is to stay consistent with tracking information. It's no reason why you have a date one day and then it's just gone with no explanation. At least say why the date is missing or why the date was pushed back. That's why people are becoming angry. We shouldn't have to call them for this kind of information.
 
Probably a stupid question but how do you change to hold for pickup in ups mychoice app. And when is my last chance to do it. Not really wanting to do it til I see it's stateside.
 
Can anyone who's phone had been sitting in ZhengZhou, China at some point let us know which airport was used to ship it out of China? The airport call letters would be great!

Can you tell us what the tracking actually showed between Zhengzhou and Louisville? It might give us a clue as to what is going on with ours. My suspicion is that they are chartering extra lift and when they do the phone doesn't get tracked very well.
