Also on the Incheon 7:37 on the 24th pallet, delivery estimated at 10/29 to Lake Charles, LA.
I believe they have a flight leaving for Anchorage in an hour and a half. Might be the one these are on?
Mine is scheduled to arrive in upstate New York on Wednesday the 29th. My shipping window gives them until Friday and my life won't end if it doesn't come by the end of this week, but it's making me really curious why the phones have been in the same place for 72 hours now.
It's possible that they're being scanned as a group and someone missed scanning that pallet as it moved from Korea to Alaska to Kentucky (I'm guessing?) but that seems hard to believe.
If phones start to not show up on their scheduled arrival dates, we should probably complain to Apple or UPS. I suppose UPS is responsible at this point...

Guess we'll find out in an hour and a half.

Same here bud I've also been in incheon hell since the 23rd with a current scheduled delivery of tomorrow. This shyt is peeing me off!!
Yea I know, or hopefully the label on our pallet got messed up and they couldn't scan it but it's way passed the stage it currently states. Or is that reaching? Lol
Have hope!!!
SO everyone who thinks you may be stuck in Korea, I have done some sleuthing and found some interesting info about how UPS tracking works. Check this out:
"When a person delivers a parcel to the UPS, a bar code is attached to the parcel. The employees loading the parcels onto a truck or airplane all have bar code scanners, as do all UPS drivers. Those handling the parcel simply have to scan it to see where it came from and where it is going. When a parcel is scanned, the information regarding the parcels location is immediately updated on the UPS website. This is the reason why a person can see the step-by-step progression of where his or her package is at the moment.
"Packages that are transported by plane are all automatically sent to Worldport, the UPS sorting facility in Kentucky. Workers in this facility only handle the package once or twice; the rest of the time, the package is tracked by machine. Sorters sort packages according to size and shape and ensure that the bar code on any given package is facing upwards. Scanners above the conveyor belts are then able to sort the packages according to destination."
So until they get to Kentucky, the scanning relies on people with hand scanners, which, if for whatever reason, they don't scan, it can seem like your package is stuck wherever it was last scanned. Once it gets to Kentucky though, a machine will have to scan it, updating your info. That being said, these flights are currently en route to Louisville: UPS109, UPS63, UPS61, UPS99, UPS3997, and UPS81.
Track these flights on http://flightaware.com/live/iphone, and good luck!

Hey maybe you can help us out. My phone was also processing 27 days and now going on its fifth day in incheon with a scheduled delivery for tomorrow. Did this also happen to you?
So after 17 days of processing I called apple and was like what what is the status of my iphone 6+. He said that all phones ordered around my date October 10th are shipping and being deli evened 3-5 days earlier then the earliest delivery date that they give you. He told me the reason why I did not get an email stating that Apple is working hard on your order is because my order is on time and not going to be late and be early. Said that my order should be here Friday 10-31 or the 3rd or 4th and not 11/6-11/13 no way in hell. I sure hope he was telling the truth. What do you guys thi k
Been tracking it for quite some time and never heard of anyone getting their phones before the earliest Apple delivery date, But who knows? One thing I do know for sure is if you pay the extra $10 you will recieve your package about 2 days earlier than if you kept it at regular shipping. Wish somebody would of told me this. Maybe may phone wouldn't be sitting in incheon for 5 days. #
I did get the quicker shipping. He said he saw it on his screen that they were all delivering faster lately
It's possible but if you got the space grey aka the holy grail don't count on it. Lol
Been reading through this thread for a couple of weeks, so I guess I should jump in with my details.
iPhone 6+ 64gb Space Gray for AT&T ordered 10/5. Received my "We're working on your order" email last Thursday, 10/23. According to that email, my date range for shipping began today, 10/27, and goes through 11/3. This is actually better than the original estimate of 11/4 to 11/11.
I'm just being patient. No need to get too excited and have to wait that way. It'll get here eventually. Unfortunately, to pass the time, I've already bought 4 cases, a glass screen protector, and a set of normal screen protectors. That only leads to me picking up the cases and imagining how good it will be to finally have a phone stuck inside of it!
Keep the faith, folks. When that beauty shows up, the wait will be completely worth it!

I wouldn't hold your breath. The only people who received their phones earlier than the scheduled delivery period were those who ordered closer to launch. Everyone on here who has had their 6+'s ship in the past few weeks shipped during their projected shipping timeframe. To my knowledge, no one's 6+ has shipped earlier than expected yet.

Yup ordered mine on sept 28 with estimated delivery oct 28 - nov 3rd . Scheduled to be delivered oct 29.
Not sure why anyone would get mad about it taking long. Tells you when you order it'll be 3-4 weeks which it has been for everyone.
The devices that have allegedly been in Incheon since 7:37 PM on the 24th appear to have missed this evening's plane, too.
I wonder whether there's a pattern to which ones are in this batch. Mine is a 64GB silver iPhone 6 for AT&T. I ordered it on October 17.
I ordered a case on Alibaba via China Post after I ordered the phone, which has arrived already. I haven't ordered a gadget that was this in-demand since the iPod mini came out in 2004. The pink ones were back-ordered by 6 weeks.

[UPS dude]: I'm sorry that tracking information was not yet updated. We should be getting updates soon and this package should be delivered on 10/29/2014.

My phone has been stuck in china for the past 3 days, although it should have flown out on the 10/27 flight, the chat response was that china's customs have gotten more serious, knowing that mine should have been flown with others that ordered on 10/3, I'm not really sure what the reason is, and delivery date just goes farther back each day
My iPhone 6 Plus was in Zhengzhou from Friday 10/24 until today, where it went to Incheon, then Alaska, and now it's on a flight somewhere else. Can't wait! Supposed to get it Wednesday but here's to hope that they can deliver it tomorrow. Probably not though.

Sorry to hear that. Yeah I was hearing AT&T website orders were really slow so I did it on store.apple.com instead.OK, you can officially count me in the "I ordered the exact same phone as you before you did and you're getting yours before me" club. Happy for you but fother mucker!!

Are you meaning people who ORDERED on Oct. 6th? If so, really?
I'm really starting to get that pissed off feeling.
