Frequency of flights from China

Out of curiosity, how many flights and days of the week, do shipments from China seem to be happening?
 
Thats really weird. I hope apple moves up the shipping time for you. I ordered the 6 + 2 days ago and im between oct 21-28.

Thanks, unlikely though. I will just have to wait.

Meanwhile I get to enjoy the charms of a mediocre Android phone to tide me over since I traded in my wife's iPhone 4 to AT&T for $200 and gave her my iPhone 5!

Oh wow lol. Which android phone?
 
My iPhone 6+ was scheduled for Oct. 1-Oct. 8 delivery, but was apparently bumped up and will be here Wednesday. I only had to wait an extra 5 days. Not too shabby! Very excited.
 
Late to order compared to most everyone here. I tried to score one launch day as I was out of town during pre-order time.

Est. Delivery date range: Oct. 20-27
Ordered on: Sept 19th

AT&T 64GB Space Grey iPhone 6+
 
ops. Just got upset that mine left china on 09/22 5:20 pm :| BOOO urns.

We are on the same flight. Originally my shipping estimate said Oct 1st-6th but when the phone actually shipped UPS initially gave me an estimate of 9/25 (Thursday) by end of day. However, yesterday morning I was bumped to a 9/26, Friday estimate.

As of 9:36 PST UPS still hows: "ZhengZhou, China 09/22/2014 5:20 P.M. Departure Scan"

That's exactly where mine is. I thought I got my delivery date bumped because I asked them to deliver to a UPS Store. Maybe the whole shipment has an issue. :confused:

In Louisville...

Does anybody know if I cancel my apple.com order how long it will take for my upgrade eligibility to come back? I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get one from my local Apple Store before the Oct. 21-28 dates, but my plan is to go to Apple Store and ask if they have my phone in stock, if so cancel my Apple order from the line, thats why I'm wondering if its immediate?

I spoke with a manager of my local Apple store a few days ago and was told that the cancelation usually takes about 24 hours to complete.

AT&T 64GB Space Grey iPhone 6+


We are in the exact same boat my friend.

Est. Delivery date range: Oct. 20-27

Verizon 128GB Silver iPhone 6+

At least I was able to snag a 6 Minus for my wife on the 19th. My local Verizon is completely out of both iPhone 6 models.
 
Woot. My iPhone 6 plus finally landed in the land of freedom heading to its new home. A long journey from China, isn't it
 
Did you purchase through apple and AT&T still let you trade the iphone 4?

Yes, I did. I purchased through the Apple Store App on my iPhone 5. Then a couple of days later I just went into an AT&T corporate store and traded in the iPhone 4 for a promotional credit that I am using to pay my AT&T bills.
 
In Louisville...

Mine also arrived in Loujsvilke at 1:45am....and still is there as of 7:15am, even though there have been at least 2 flights to Philadelphia departing there since 3;30am.

I guess no phone today. Since these are not launch day deliveries, I guess they are not in a hurry to get them here. Delivery date still shows today though.
 
That's odd because I was able to preorder with Apple with the ATT next but I did it as an existing customer.

I was one of the unlucky who pre-ordered with att and then got cancelled for some wack reason.

Then turned to Apple for pre-order with shipment with AT&T next. Successful. Saturday after launch day - my 6+ gold 64gb was available for pick up.. Cancelled my shipping order.. Only to come to find that you can not pre order with pick up with AT&T Next. Now I'm waiting for my shipment. Oct 21-28

That's what I meant.. ;)
