AW, shoot. I think I missed the flight out of Anchorage. Still just shows arrival, no departure. Delivery still 10/29. 😔. Bye. Have a good flight!

Dusty, I have faith you’re on board.

Some scans don’t show up right away.
Looks like I’m rolling the dice with delivery... I only desperately wish we hadn’t made dinner plans tomorrow evening. I have no idea why I didn’t tell my husband that we should do it next week. Dumb! I hate risking this...
 
Man when you consider the fact we are all spread across the world communicating and collectively monitoring a couple flights travelling 500-600 mph over an ocean all being done from the prior generation of a tiny metal and glass computer awaiting our new metal and glass computer ....it’s all pretty wild. It’s been fun all, I clearly need to go to bed now :)
 
If we start a return for an order online through the website, can we still return within the store during that "grace period" given once you "start" a return? Wanna figure out if I can actually keep my 12 up until the morning I go get my 12 Pro Max.
 
I haven’t experienced tracking my iPhone from China to my doorstep because I always preordered them through my old carrier T-Mobile. I’m with Verizon now and paying outright with Apple. I’m scared to preorder because there’s no guarantee I would get it on launch day. People in my area are quick to preorder for store pick-up. For the past few days I’ve been looking at 8am-10am for in-store pickup and there have been none for any of the pro’s for any of the storage sizes and colors, so I’ve given up and will stick to just preordering the 12 Pro Max.
I am absolutely not going to a mall during Covid. I’ll be waiting to order at 5 AM in California and hope I get Launch Day delivery of my Pro Max. If I don’t, Oh well.... still not going to a mall right now! Not worth it. I can wait (impatiently) if I have to. I hated doing in store pickup in the past. Had to wait two hours in line even with a reservation.

as someone who has been working non stop during covid as an essential employee and being around people who were exposed constantly, I think unless you absolutely can't for dire health reasons, going to the Mall for a pickup isn't gonna be that bad.
 
You know... I’m kind of considering canceling my pick-up order partially as a show of solidarity for the group and just waiting for my phone to be delivered ha I also kind of don’t want to deal with the hassle of returning the late one ha

I’ve been watching this thread to try to figure out where my phone was at because it seemed like it shipped really early, but just made an account to maybe give some hope! I hadn’t checked in a few hours, and last I looked late this afternoon my phone was in Korea. The original date rage Apple gave me was 11/03-11/06, UPS gave me 11/04 when shipped, and now they’re saying tomorrow(today!) 10/28. 😁 I’m going to cross my fingers really hard, but even 10/29 is way earlier than I was expecting. In Reno, NV.

Mine only says custom clearance completed - after it left Alaska. I am not clear if it left for KY already or not.

Yep I’m in the same spot as a few of you... departed Anchorage and was released from customs afterward. Really hope we just don’t have updated scans is all (I’ve noticed mine lag a bit or some of Y’all are more obsessive than I am... but surely that can’t be it 😂)

Well, yeah, we are all obsessive, for sure. No comparison though to follow a BMW delivery from Germany and following the ship via satellite... 😎

Wow that’s incredible. Standard shipping? Man, I’ve got to get my $8 express shipping back! but if I magically get my phone today I may not bother.

It just seems like your package made excellent progress.

My Apple delivery window was 10/30-11/4

If you let it ship standard I’m realizing I should have too.

Yup, both of mine say "Cleared customs" at 5:00am and 5:01am respectfully. Now we wait. If it does get to my local UPS today I'll call to see if I can pick them up instead of waiting for tomorrow's truck. They open at noon for the public....
