UPS77 just touched down in Anchorage 15 minutes ago - wonder if any of our phones were on that one? I love guessing lol..
Skimmed through parts of this thread but didn't see my issue specifically. I'm on IUP and the App Store and website didn't come up for me until around 12:15, needless to say I got stuck with a 11/17-11/24 window.
I've seen others mention getting Apple to adjust their orders based on other specific errors. Any thoughts on whether crying to Apple will get me anywhere and what the best approach is?

If we see an arrival scan at ANC that matches the arrival time of this flight...you have your answer..
Sitting here envious. I got my AT&T issues cleared up and had moved, again, to PFS but now it has slipped back, again, into OIP. This is maddening.
The fun part was finding out there was a block on the order with a note to contact my carrier. Did that and the response was "we don't know what that's about. We show a pending upgrade to your iPhone X". Got both Apple and them on the line together and, again, AT&T says "We don't what else to tell you besides cancel and re-order." Order review had cleared things up but now I feel like another phone call is in order...

glad to hear my phone isn't the only one that's stuck in zz - thanks for keeping us all up to date!
Np...this will be my first new phone that I have purchased. My previous phone is a used iPhone 5s.
Unless you received an email from Apple specifically acknowledging a failure in your ordering process, then nothing can be done. Even calling them will not get you anywhere at this point since their service reps have no control over delivery windows and cannot change your delivery dates (speaking from past experiences here). On the bright side you still have a good chance of getting it before 11/17 since Apple has been known to under promise in order to over deliver when shipping their products.
Hey me too! I broke my 6 plus and have been waiting for this phone to come out. Stuck with the 5s until then. Friday can't get here quick enough.

I am ready to have a bigger and more immersive display.
Thanks, I had a feeling that might be the case. Fingers crossed for an early delivery.
Probably same day as they are likely waiting to fill a plane prior to departing.
That's not entirely true. I have a UPS My Choice account and all of my packages are automatically authorized for release. It auto applied to both of my phones.
Same here and on on my Apple Watch they just left the package with my on file ups release.
Yes i will sigh when people make assumptions, dont know what they are talking about, and just throw things out there hoping the audience isn't smart. You obviously have no idea, and you cater to the people who dont fact check, or dont know something in general.
Custom delivery service is standard with all shippers, and they guarantee not shipping before the date you set....sigh again, if only people used there brains, instead of guessing and assuming.
I'm new to MacRumors and I've also never preordered a phone. It's kind of fascinating to see everyone obsessing about their phone's movements and location prior to the promised arrival date. Have there been issues in the past with phones not arriving as promised at scale?
Last year there was a mechanical failure on a UPS plane in korea that delayed some phones for like a day or two... I was part of that whole bunch. Thats’ why I feel way more comfortable once that phone leaves Anchorage

I will be happy when they move from China
