7+ Jet Black (128/256) Date Change Thread

Disappointment :(. I'd give it a shot yourself tbh and see if you can get through to a rep who can possibly do something.

Our records indicate that your shipment was temporarily held when it was in transit due to flight delay. As soon as we have more information about the delivery it will be posted on our web site. You may also use the "Notify me with updates" link on the tracking page to receive information as it becomes available.

Nero: I saw that earlier today :(
chat_enduser_message.png
Nero: I was just wondering if it was possible for my shipment to get upgraded to Saturday delivery if at all possible to compensate for the delay.
chat_enduser_message.png
Nero: I saw a few people online had gotten that, so I figured I'd ask.
chat_enduser_message.png
Nero: I probably won't be around Monday to sign for my package as I have classes all day that day :(

Deri F.: One moment please.
chat_enduser_message.png
Nero: Alright, thank you!
chat_agent.png
Deri F.: I am truly sorry, but we are unable to reschedule a Saturday delivery for this shipment. Keep in mind that we will complete one delivery attempt per day on three consecutive business days.
chat_enduser_message.png
Nero: Darn.
chat_enduser_message.png
Nero: So there's no way it can be upgraded just in case it's able to be scheduled?
chat_agent.png
Deri F.: I apologize, but we are unable to upgrade the delivery of shipments once they enter our network. Air packages are loaded and transported in air containers, and are not accessible during transit.

Someone was hoping to get their phone when this thread hit 200.

That escalated quickly...
[doublepost=1474584597][/doublepost]A friend of mine orderes a 7+ matt black 256G last friday on launch day, and it was shipped to him directly from Tennessee and he's getting it tomorrow. In the main while, I preordered my jetblack at 12:11 on launch day and my JB is still having a nice vacation in korea. Thanks a lot UPS
 
Just got off of Apple Live Chat about the shipping dilemma and this is what I was told (excluding reps name):

Rep: I’m showing an estimated delivery date of 09/23.

Rep:
Based on the tracking, I know we’re concerned about the scan information, but these are bulk iPhone deliveries, and aren’t providing each specific detail as it ships.

Rep:
I’d assume it’s already within the US and just awaiting a scan in through customs.

Rep:
While I am confident we’re guaranteed that date, if there’s not a delivery received by 8PM on the 23rd, you may chat or call us to start an investigation with the carrier as to what’s going on, which would prompt us to get a replacement device going if there was some mixup in transit.

I guess we will see it on Tuesday.
Friday: Korea -> Anchorage -> Louisville
Monday: -> Louisville -> your local hub
Tuesday: Out for delivery.

Unless they work on Saturday, but I seriously doubt it.

We'll most likely get it on Monday. UPS works on weekends, but they wont deliver the package (They'll keep it at your local hub)... They could pretty much do the whole process tomm. KR > Alaska > KY > Local hub and make delivery for Saturday if what that guy on reddit said was true.
 
:oops: ANNOYED at this point, but what can we do? This phone better be worth it and I hope mine doesn't have the "hissing" issue when it does arrive!:apple:

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."

Personally I'm willing to believe this. I think we may be pleasantly surprised and receive our phones either tomorrow or Sat.

If any lucky souls who have received their phone are still watching this thread, feel free to continue showering us with photos of your glorious new devices in various states of dress/undress... It may soothe our disappointment slightly lol

I received mine on Wednesday. I love it obviously and the home button is actually better than the old one. Only thing for me, I still have not found the perfect case for it. I tried the Spigen Air Cushion and hated it. I currently have the Spigen Liquid Crystal clear case on and it's nice, but really makes the black look much duller. I know Spiegen will be releasing a Liquid Crystal Space Gray edition (releasing on 9/30) which is supposed to be optimized for the Jet Black color. Going to give that a try. I also want to try the Spigen Thin Fit Jet black color once it's release on the 23rd. The links are below for the three cases I mentioned. Good luck to you all on getting your phones. Once they get out of Korea, you will definitely have the phone the next day.

You keep trying the same brand. Give Ringke a try, especially the Ringke Fusion. I've had them on my iPhone 5, 6, and 6s and love them. Got two different ones for my 7+ so I can compare. I did have a Spigen for my 6s but didn't like it as much as the Ringke.

Still hoping for the overnight or even Saturday delivery but this message from UPS doesn't make me confident about it....

Thank you for taking the time to email our team. I'm very sorry to hear your package hasn't been delivered as expected. Our records are showing that a mechanical issue with the aircraft has caused the delay.

At this time, a revised delivery date is currently unavailable for the package. Please continue to track the package on UPS.com for updates as they become available. I encourage you to take advantage of free status updates by tracking the package and clicking on the notify me with updates button.


Sincerely,

Kevin S

I hope this turns out to be true but I'll believe it when I see it.
