My phone shipped on the 21st.
Went to Korea the next day and has sat there since. 2 flights have left for Alaska since my phone got there and I have yet to get a departure scan. How is that for expedited shipping.

Same here. Not sure why our phones haven't left Korea.
 
I was hoping UPS has been delayed in processing the scan but the flight has been in the air for 4 hours. Don't think that's the case here.

If they haven't left Korea, I don't think they will meet the deliver schedule, 10/27 for me.

They make it from Korea to Louisville in a day so I wouldn't be worried about that. What bothers me is they could have delivered these phones tomorrow easily based on the flights. Why didn't they?? No clue.

The expedited is likely 'UPS Worldwide Expedited' which is 5 business day delivery from Asia.

In your case, the delivery should be latest on Monday, Oct 27 which would be hard if its still in Korea because it would then need to get to Louisville and then to your regional/local hub.

Apple likely wouldn't have an answer and you might need to contact UPS if its still in Korea after today.

Im not worried. It will be here on the 27th. Even if its still in Korea. Ive been tracking everyones shipments here. Delivered on the 4th business day after shipping. (Weekends don't count but the phones will still move over the weekend if needed.)

The phone goes from Korean to Louisville pretty quick. Customs scan over the weekend and delivered to the regional hub early morning Monday to deliver. Just stating they could have easily put the phone on 2 flights now and haven't. That's it. Not complaining just stating the fact. (I also understand its not the service that was paid for.)
 
I ordered a SG 64GB 6+ AT&T through Apple.com on Oct. 15

Available to ship 3-4 Weeks, delivery date of Nov. 13-20.

I'm really hoping I get it by the 20th at the latest. I'm leaving for NYC on the 21st and would love to have the 6+ to take some great photos.
 
So they are shipping faster if they do not pay for expedited shipping but it is not the case that they are all shipping expedited?

Those kind of contradict one another.

from my understanding... she said "ups" is delivering quicker than normal 3-4 days... however if you pay for the expedited shipping then you will receive it within 2-3 days
 
Team Oct 8th here, Apple store, 6+ 128g SG Verizon, still processing..

Said to deliver Nov 6 - Nov 13. I start two weeks of vacation Nov 8th, if I get it the 8th or shortly after I will be happy!! C'MON APPLE!!
 
I placed an order on apple.com for a iPhone 6+,SG,64GB on 09/22/14. It stayed in processing for 25 days until 10/17/14 and then went to “preparing to ship” for 3 days. It went shipped on 10/20/14 and UPS gave me a tracking number and delivery date of 10/24/14. Since then I continued to track it. The last scan was 10/21/14 in Incheon,KR and it has not changed since then. However, UPS tracking is still stating on time delivery. Naturally, I am wondering how can that be if it is still in Korea. I was somewhat concerned until I went to the UPS website and saw the following explanation:

I tracked my shipment, and there haven't been scans on it in more than a day. What should I do?

Your package is moving within the UPS network and is going to be delivered on the scheduled delivery date. A package can remain in this status until delivery. Packages moving long distances are often not scanned again between origin and destination. Other than those receiving premium air service, packages may be delivered any time between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. to residences, and close of business for commercial addresses. UPS cannot schedule a specific delivery time within that window.

I certainly hope that this is true in my case. Anyway I will know tomorrow if it does or does not arrive.

My phone reached Korea on 10/22, but UPS says it delivers 10/28...

I never said it was guaranteed to arrive within the 5 day, I was just stating their definition.

And based on your delivery on the 28th, you would be a prime (unfortunate) candidate to contact UPS because they are not meeting their 4-5 day 'UPS Worldwide Expedited' shipping.

Wish you the best.

It sucks that ligase's phone seems to be stuck, but the 28th would be in the window as they count business days.

I'm guessing, ligase's phone entered shipping on either the 20th or 21st in order to make it to korea by the 22th. If it was stuck, then its possible the ship date was earlier. But right now, the initial ship date are all guesses '_';;;;

True, wasn't calculating from the ship date, no matter hope it gets moving soon.
