Just double checked, I have 2 phones coming and only 1 got the 9:25pm departure scan while the other (mine) is still sitting in Shanghai with the 11:45 scan on 10/29. This is frustrating
 
I'd call apple and demand that $10 back. That's almost 1/3 of the :apple: leather case!! I've heard they're pretty cool about it given the supply shortage issues. I just found out I'm on the 9:45PM Shanghai departure scan. Any ideas on what flight I'm on?


Ha yeah. Full intent would have been putting it towards a case if I can get it back. I have always contacted Amazon when a ups delivery missed a date and gotten full refunds for shipping with no questions asked. Apple might not be as easy as Amazon, though.

I called and got my $10 back .
 
Anybody out there that ordered on 10/16? I ordered a 6+ 64gb SG and just received my working hard email. How long after this email can I expect a preparing to ship status?

I went to "preparing to ship" 4 days after that email. Then in 24 hrs after "preparing to ship" I got my shipment notification.

Got the "preparing for shipment" status after 4 business days. And 2 business days to get a tracking number
 
Now mine says Iformation unavaible for delivery date. Gotta wait till Monday Tuesday. God damnit!!!!!
 
Team 9/29, I finally got Held at UPS location for my 6+ SG 128GB Tmobile ordered from Apple.com

I'll be leaving on my lunch break soon to pick it up!

Hopefully, those of you that were in Incheon, Korea purgatory for almost a week with me have received or will receive yours soon!

Anybody that departed Shanghai at 9:25PM have "Information Unavailable" for their deliver date?

Right here buddy except mine was 8:56pm: so pissed. I called apple and they said only a certain amount of phones can travel
Per day so I should get it Monday Tuesday the latest. So upset. Twice ups said 10-31 delivery :(

About 3-5 days

If you have UPS My Choice, you'll get a tracking number through them within a day. Otherwise, Apple takes about 2 days to show shipped with a tracking number.

I departed Shanghai at 9:25PM and just looked at my app (11:47PM CDT) but mine still says "In Transit: On Time" with a scheduled delivery of 11/4/14. I think we've been seeing the same status on our phones for a while now you and I, except for this change on yours. I'll keep an eye on my status, I hope it doesn't get pushed back even further.

I ordered the exact same phone but mine is still processing. My dates are Delivers: Nov 20 - Nov 28 by Standard Shipping. Hope mine will start moving soon.

Mine has shown info unavailable since yesterday and I have the depart time of 8:56PM. Earlier this morning someone who had been sitting with the same status as us had a depart time of 4:41pm (or close to that) and had their 10/31 date show back up. Why can't ups in china meet delivery dates? It's like they don't care what method of shipping is used and just ship on their terms.

It has been taking roughly 3 weeks for the plus models to show movement and ship to give you a rough estimate.

I would definitely ask them about getting a refund on the expedited shipping. I called to ask if I could add expedited shipping to my 6 Plus order after the fact and they said that all the 6 Plus orders were currently expedited so it didn't matter.

That's pretty interesting. I know my phone is using Worldwide Express Saver instead of the usual Worldwide Expedited. Technically they can say it is already expedited but "worldwide expedited" is a cpl days slower than worldwide express saver. Apples way to use terms and kind of trick the consumer, lol. I did get my money back since it was suppose to be delivered today and instead just sat in China until this morning.
