Yes, unimaginable, but I actually think the shipping dates we all received on pre-order night are going to end up being true. 
Got a tip for us?

I'm getting so tired of this. There should be absolutely no reasons our phones aren't on the flight that left this morning en route to Anchorage.
Just seems like they're a day behind. I was. Everyone getting to China and Korea are having to wait an extra day. I was stuck in each spot for a day, at least.
Mine did not. Went to bed last night with the phone sitting in China according to tracking. Woke up with it tracked from China straight to Louisville then to my local city.
Did it hit on your original UPS delivery date? Or was it pushed back a day?
Phone arrived today - Sprint 256 iPhone 7 Plus Jet Black ordered at 3:05 am through Apple
Girlfriend ordered at 3:04 am (physically next to me) exact same phone and hers is still showing as in China from UPS so orders definitely are not all arriving based on order checkout time.
Might be waiting to open this until my Slickwraps Naked arrives but who knows when that will be.

The pre-order experience went down hill after the Apple Watch launch in April 2015. People walking into an Apple Store and buying the phone they pre-ordered on the 9th is ridiculous, if there is enough stock to fill stores, why the hell haven't those who stayed up until early into the morning to pre-order received their phones yet? Launch day was 5 days ago.This the most I've been on macrumors in years. lol. The last 2 phones I preordered and had a launch day delivery so this is all so new to me. I'm trying to keep my faith and not go crazy right now if you can't tell.
Pushed back 2 days. Originally scheduled for Monday the 20th. Ups hasn't shown up yet, but he usually makes his stop here a couple hours from now.
Edit: meant Monday the 19th.
On another note Flight UPS99 is half way to Anchorage. Hopefully people get updates after arrival including myself. Crossing all fingers right now.
Is there anybody with October dates that already received or have their phones in transit? You guys ordered thru Apple directly or carrier? Over at AT&T, it doesn't seem like much are getting their Jet Black.
Sooooo.... my tracking page shows the updated delivery date of Friday (9/23) but the UPS My Choice Delivery Planner page still shows the original Thursday (9/22) delivery date.
I think the planner usually updates a bit late. I typically tend to trust the actual tracking page, that was until my phone said Louisville this morning when it was really in Hong Kong.
8:01 Korea. Hoping that we got to Alaska. But doesn't look like it. No delivery date. First had 9/21 then 9/22 now nothing. UPS is the worsttttttf
For those that arrived to Korea at 8:01, it is extremely likely we are on UPS 99. I'm sure UPS is churning through a tremendous amount of volume, so a missed scan is to be expected. Plus a lot of people in this thread are reporting no scans between China and KY. Let UPS do it's job, and once our flight lands in KY, we can then continue to track.
JB+ 128. Originally delivering Oct 10-17. Ordered on Apple.com. Shipped 9/20
That's what I'm hoping, I've been tracking that flight since this morning and was hoping to see a matching departure time on my tracking status but as far as UPS is concerned, my phone is still in Korea. Really hoping it made the flight, because a flight from AK to KY follows just hours after the plane touches down in AK, which would mean it's right on time for pick up tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
Same for me though my tracking information says it's been in China for 2 days now.
