And of course I just saw a wild JB 7+ in the starbucks that I am currently sitting in, while I painfully wait for mine and bash UPS at the same time

Yeah, I didn't get the weather excuse, I got the mechanical delay excuse. I'm beginning to think my phone won't be here today. (LOL)

Everyone is telling different stories now. I call it BS. I have shipped stuff overseas before and if its being held at custom, it would usually say so on the tracking page. I mean when I sent my cousin a pair of UGG boots for his wife's bday, UPS even went as far as teling him to go to the port to pay tax and pick up the next day or some bs like that.

Per Reddit: packages in Korea are being upgraded to next day delivery.

"Just spoke to a UPS shipping logistics supervisor who explained to me that all iPhone packages (with a Korean arrival date of 9/20 or 9/21) currently held up in Korea will be out of Korea tonight and in the US by tomorrow morning.

I then spoke to a management rep at the Apple Online Store who stated that all packages currently in Asia have been upgraded to next-day delivery. He assured me that I would have my phone either tomorrow or Saturday at the latest."

Does this apply to shipping hubs?

But how realistic will it be though, It still has to flight to Anchorage -> Louisville -> your local hub first.

Assume it leaves Incheon at midnight, it wont arrive Anchorage until 6AM, which means it wont arrive Louisville until noon, and depending on where you are, your local hub wont have it until afternoon. Thats if your phone hops on another flight to the next destination right after it landed. I highly doubt it. Though I have a bit more faith in Apple than UPS, I do hope to get them by Sat of not Fri
 
The hopes of dozens, if not hundreds of MacRumors users, foaming at the mouths for their JB ip7+, rides upon your shoulders!!!!

I imagine tomorrow isn't feasible, unless they take a different route than they have been. Saturday delivery makes sense if being upgraded to next day allows for Saturday delivery. No clue.

The people who dont have the mechanical failure issue are the 8:01 ones. Looking at this thread and the apple thread, everyone BUT the 8:01 people are getting that issue. Makes me wonder if we already made it out of Korea.


I got the weather delay notice. I am in the 8:01 group
 
Chatting with UPS about possibly getting my shipment upgraded to Saturday delivery if it's able to be delivered that soon.
