So I did some checking. I believe that UPS99 had to cancel because of a broken airplane. I'm still trying to get ahold of my friend who works at UPS to be sure, but I think everyone who was expecting Friday from that flight might be screwed.
makes sense as it is not on anyone's system as having taken off (google's widget was just going off old data, as others have pointed out).

well, looks like Monday for me then, whoopee!!
 
My God the comedy of this post where people are so uptight about when their phones are coming. Especially when they are coming days/weeks before expected. Mine was supposed to be here today. It got pushed to tomorrow. Now it could be pushed to Monday because it's still in Korea. Idgaf. I'll still have it. People are acting like it's the end of the world. Especially that idiot who's chewing out some UPS CS rep that has no control whatsoever about his phone.
 
Sigh. Well say hello to ****ing Monday guys. ****ing ridiculous.

Idk maybe I'm looking at a different UPS 99. I'm ****ing confused how this **** works.
 
Now the interesting thing is that the 7:35PM departure I'm showing on mine from ZhengZhou is a pretty close match to UPS77 leaving Shenzhen. I'm wondering if they scanned all the phones leaving Zhengzhou and thought they were going to Seoul, but some got on the flight to Shenzhen.....

Yeah if you check this page and compare historical data - the Icheon flight is missing. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS99

Which could mean two things - our phones are still in Icheon OR the the flight was cancelled early enough to the point they re-routed them through china and simply weren't scanned.

Same boat as you. Mine is still arriving during the timeframe I was quoted when I first made the purchase. Would I like it earlier? There are so many variables in terms of international delivery, but people are acting like UPS has a personal vendetta against them
 
FlightAware has a cancelled flights page, but I don't see it there. I don't think it's really reliable outside the USA
 
They generally don't keep a spare MD11 sitting around waiting. The cost would be out of control. You'd have to pay $500 for shipping on your phone if you wanted them to do that.

Yep. Wasn't supposed to be here till 10/10-10/17. I'm just fine waiting.
 
Love that they load the packages on planes before checking to see if the plane is broke before hand. Classic. Lol

Someone said they hoped to get their phone by thread page 200. I think they just lost that bet lol. It's not funny, but it is at the same time.

Don't get me wrong, the UPS process has been frustrating as hell - but unless your phone is going to arrive later than the expected delivery date range that Apple gave you after ordering, is there really any reason to complain? That chat transcript evoked some secondhand embarrassment. Tough read.
