Mine too.. There's a flight from Taiwan to Anchorage (UPS61) that left Taiwan about 30 minutes back. Guessing my phone is on it. Will find out if I get an arrival scan in anchorage at around 5:05pm EDT

Mine left at 9:14 from Taiwan too! Do you think they are on this flight? UPS61? The plane left at 8:38 but the phones weren't scanned til 9:14. Would they scan them after the plane takes off, or are the phones on a different flight?
 
haha so weird.

so I checked UPS My Choice.

we have 6 iPhones order/coming in right? UPS shows 4 packages from China (same place) and 4 from Tennessee (same place).

no idea whats going on.
 
Is picking up a package at the UPS CC really worth it? I'm new at this so I'm asking for opinions; Google reviews show horrible ratings for the CC, so I'm wondering in your experience, have you had to wait long or encountered any trouble at all?
My local hub is Mesquite, TX but I would appreciate any opinions.

My local hub is in Fort Worth. I sent my phone to the CC last year and have already rerouted this year's phone to the hub as well. I was not one of the fortunate few to get a release day phone last year so I can't speak to lines on release day. If those last few hours of waiting would drive you crazy, then pick it up at the CC. It will tag the delivery as an Exception until there is some package movement, but don't let that worry you. It's just was UPS does.
 
Sigh, have PFS for a couple of days, got the Applecare email, found my 'shipping label created' in UPS (on 9/21), but nothing since then. Am wondering if that is an indicator it is in the US? Perhaps doesn't need to travel so far so no need to 'pick' it at this time for UPS? Oh, well, Friday is right around the corner.

Patience is a virtue... :)
 
Mine left Taiwan an hour and a half ago, too! The only thing that worries me is that mine is no longer in my Support Profile AND when I tried to enter it manually, it says it is registered with another Apple ID. Anyone ever have this happen? I'm worried about activation and registration on Friday.
 
Weird. Chipmunk listed my phone as :

Group1: iPhone
Group2: 6 plus

but sndeep and my support profile both have it listed as the 6S Plus.

Most likely it's already in the US. You're fine.

anyone able to explain this one? extra labels printed for kicks?
 
Also in the ZhengZhou crowd. Mine is weird though... it had an Arrival Scan at 9PM *after* a Departure Scan at 8:30PM. Anybody else had that or know what it might mean?

That was on 9/21, so local time over 24hrs ago. Nothing since then.

Pretty much everybody in ZhengZhou has had that. It means your phone left the factory in ZhengZhou, and arrived at a warehouse at the airport in ZhengZhou. UPS only shows you the city part of any locations, nothing more specific.

My phone has been in that same warehouse since 9/19. It's got plenty of time to make it here.

I think these websites are not accurate, because some of their information depend on customers feedback.
 
What's weird is that mine was at ZhengZhou since Wednesday last week and I haven't seen any movement since the "arrival scan".

Anyone here whose phone is still in ZhengZhou? :(

Mine is still in ZhengZhou as well.
Last update: ZhengZhou, China 09/19/2015 9:55 P.M. Arrival Scan
 
I had a pending charge on my card for my full price iphone. I checked my bank statement today and the charge is gone. Does anyone know what that means?

Had your order status changed from processing to preparing for shipment? My pending charge dropped off right before my status changed.

Just means the final charge wasn't pushed through before the bank's set date for letting pending charges drop. No worries.

Yeah, I'm not too worried about it. I trust my support profile over that lol.

Totally normal, happens every year. Banks hold the charge for a while before it automatically drops off, then Apple will charge fully when they ship. Nothing to worry about. :)

I had the pending charge that disappeared instead of posting too. Im not worried avout it. I expect to see a posted transation by Friday. I have a ups tracking number and my serial number is listed. Mine is still sitting in ZhengZhou, week 38 built, iPhone 6s 64gb silver gsm.
 
I was trying to find a UPS Customer Center / Distribution Center on Google for the iPhones that are in Mount Juliet, Tennessee. However, I only able to find a ton of UPS Stores in Mt Juliet. Has anyone been able to find out what facility the iPhones would be at in Mount Juliet. It's extremely close to Nashville, TN. Just outside of it.
