Mine is not looking good. Arrival scan at 1:12am.
Fairly certain the plane to Rockford departs at 12:50 Central Time. No way in **** my phone is making it out of Louisville tonight.
Been following this thread as a silent member of the A team until now. It has definitely helped to know I'm not the only one getting screwed by UPS. I was really hoping to get my phone before i left for vacation on Sat AM. Just wasn't in the cards. Guess it will be waiting for me when i get back. (If it doesn't get shipped back to ZZ )
For fun, I tweeted UPS and Apple, but was told to email their help address. 12 hours after my email asking for an explanation why there were so many exceptions, they just fed me the tracking info at the time. (Didn't expect anything different, but figured it was worth a try)
Thanks to all for making the pain a little easier. Enjoy your new phones!!!

My tracking seemed to coincide with Flight UPS 63 the most, but I'm always scanned in 30-40 minutes after landing. Maybe I'm the last pallet to get scanned.

You have almost identical tracking as me. At least for departure from Hong Kong and arrival to Anchorage is the same.
I ordered the iPhone 6 ATT Space Gray 64gb through the Apple Store Online. I placed the order on Sept 30th around midday. Early morning on Oct 2nd (Around 2 am) the status changed from Processing to Preparing for Shipment. My expected delivery date states Oct 17-22.
There are no other forums for me to ask this question; but for anyone with the same model, how long was your phone in "Preparing for Shipment"?
I have tried to track UPS and FedEx by Reference, but nothing comes up.
Also, do you guys think that the Chinese National Holiday will be an issue for shipping out phones?
Please don't bash me for my question, I am well aware that many who have pre-ordered are yet to receive their phone and I do hope you all receive your phone ASAP.
Thanks
I have been in preparing for 3 days. And I was in processing for 15 days
I think apple moved us to preparing stage to Stop us from changing our mind and buying Note 4 which was released today
Still waiting for Flight 81 to land in Louserville and tracking still shows no scheduled delivery. Received an email this morning saying my phones will arrive 10/3 but we'll see...
Checked the Live Chat and its showing "Expedited Shipping" and delivery on 10/3. Wonder if that is the trick for quick processing through customs? Does everyone else have expedited shipping?

All 'expedited shipping' means is 4-5 day commitment for shipments from asia to USA. "Expedited shipping is a fast, guaranteed service for less-urgent international shipments"

There are a few flights leaving for San Antonio around 4am. I'm sure it will pass customs in time... I've got 2 chances to get out of Louisville tonight...
UPS1302 - 2:50am

Hoping I'm on the first one so I'm almost guaranteed to get my phones tomorrow...
