Made it to Incheon! Now just to make it on UPS99, I feel 9/23 will be a valid delivery for a lot of us. View attachment 656968
If we miss that flight....I don't think there's any chance we'll have our phones until Monday ;(

And for the record....I'd like to give a big SMH to the scores of people who scoffed when several of us questioned the Thursday delivery date we initially got....

AAARRRGGGHHH WHY UPS WHY? Last night I finally had a scheduled delivery for today so I went ahead and used the promo code to sign up for UPS My Choice and requested a two hour delivery window. After all the other delays in China and Korea now this morning I get this:

Rescheduled Delivery
Scheduled Delivery: Scheduled delivery information is not available at this time. Please check back later.

09/22/2016 4:12 A.M. A late flight has caused a delay. We're adjusting plans and working to deliver your package as quickly as possible. / Your shipment is scheduled to arrive today after the delivery commitment time.
Louisville, KY, United States 09/22/2016 4:25 A.M. Departure Scan
09/22/2016 3:03 A.M. Import Scan
09/22/2016 1:15 A.M. Arrival Scan

So I guess it is still supposed to arrive today but after the two hour window I PAID FOR. Damn I have never had this much trouble with UPS.
Maybe you'll still get it today, but just later. Were you also in the group that got told it scanned into Louisville on the 21st, but then arrived in Hong Kong?

edit: never mind. I just got updated too saying it's been rescheduled for the next business day. :mad::mad::mad:

I'm so confused. Woke up this morning to see a departure scan from Zhengzhou. I though my phone was on the flight to Seoul with others. But look what it shows now:

Seriously WTF, UPS????

Yep I was in that bunch. I'll be happy if I get it later today but it still ticks me off that I paid for a delivery window and now they're going to miss it. I'm going to have to call and complain. Was hoping to avoid that.

Lol. I miss the days when Apple used FedEx to ship their iPhones.

You'd think a premium product wouldn't use a budget carrier.

Yeah if our phones don't move in 30 mins when that flight takes off we are done for sure.

The Thursday delivery wouldn't have been a problem if there wasn't that stupid security protocol in China. I'm just hopi for all of us that we all hop this flight to Anchorage. If we land in Anchorage on time, I personally believe it'll be great news for all of us in this grouping for getting our phones tomorrow.

Definitely call. I'm certain they will give you a credit. It's just a pain to have to do. My info just updated saying that due to an "operational delay", my delivery has been rescheduled for the next business day, which is what I was already of.
 
Has anyone missed the Apple stated delivery date, mine is 9/23 (tommorow)? Of course, I am still getting all of the bogus UPS scans with the 8:01 Incheon crew. Most all of these scans are bogus information anymore. None of it makes sense. If we dont see it delivered by their date since they are the puppet master then its time to raise hell

So I chatted with Andrea at UPS. First she tells me that it's Apple's fault, then she says Chinese exports have a problem, then it's US Imports, then she says that the phone is in Korea, then later she refers to the phone being in China. So I asked her which it is, and she says I think China.
 
No departure scans from the 8:01 pallet, eh?
Nope, for all we know they could be sitting at a warehouse in the US waiting to be shipping out tonight to make the tomorrow delivery. These scans can hardly be trusted anymore.

I'm part of the 1:05AM ZZ, China crew that got moved to KR early this morning. I have a bad feeling that we're going to get bumped off of the flight to AK that's about to leave because of the 8:01 pallet folks that MAY still be sitting in KR. :oops:

They don't charge you unless your package is delivered. I did the same thing for today and they told me if its not delivered today, which mine won't be as its in Korea, then I am not charged.
 
UPS99 from Incheon leaves any minute for Anchorage. I am thinking that all the 8:01 folks from yesterday will be on there. I'd expect that we'll see departure scans in an hour or two.

Anyone who just got to Incheon today is probably going to miss today's flight if we go by what happened the last couple days. It appears the phones sit a day in ZZ, and then sit a day in Incheon before actually leaving.

Yup, I "shipped" on Monday, moved to Korea on Wednesday as part of that 8:01pm group, and so far, no departure scans from Incheon... Apple promised 9/23 back on Monday, and I was dumb enough to think UPS had this under control with a proposed Wednesday delivery...

So the really weird thing is, my wife's phone shipped out 2 days before mine, and hers didn't delay anywhere... Was actually delivered 2 days ahead of apple estimate (and did meet UPS estimate). It left ZZ when it should have, and it made the Incheon flight. I actually had it the next day once it left China. Not sure if they just got inundated or something.
