I thought about that too... it will be my next step if investigation takes way too long (more than 5 business days)
friend from the bank advised that they expect the merchant to take reasonable steps to resolve the issue before they do the stop payment
and since apple is investigating, i can’t / shouldn’t do a charge back yet

late today ups status changed... to officially lost
“We're attempting to verify the package location. / Lost package investigation”
Grab yourself a screen capture of that screen, as evidence of that status, just in case. :)

Your package is in transit. We're updating plans to schedule your delivery. / The package will be forwarded to a UPS facility in the destination city.

My phone was shipped Nov 9 with almost no movement. I noticed today that the UPS service level says UPS WORLDWIDE EXPEDITED. I’m pretty sure it was UPS STANDARD before.

Can anyone tell me what their type of shipping is?
 
Same and I got it yesterday, man is this a sexy phone but I miss the feel of my 7 Plus. Maybe going to an iPhone 8 Plus...
I have two that were originally scheduled for Nov 20-27, but are still in South Korea according to UPS.
One says Nov 14 and the other one says delivery date is unavailable.

i am tracking two orders, and both of them are EXPEDITED. I don't know if they started that way or not as I didn't look before you mentioned it.
BTW, both of mine have been in South Korea since Thursday and Friday respectively.

Edit: I just looked at my Apple order, and both say STANDARD SHIPPING

My Apple Order says "Standard" but UPS says "Expedited" ... Not sure if that has changed but I suspect it hasn't. My phone is still in South Korea too which can't be right unless there is a screw up. Was hoping for an update this morning but so far no change. Last Update: Incheon, Korea, Republic of 11/09/2017 19:28 Arrival Scan

Mine was scheduled for delivery on Nov 15, then rescheduled on the 16 and now “information unavailable”.

Based on my tracking status, it hasn’t left China! It’s been sitting there since Nov 9.

Hope we see movement soon!
 
Everything on ups should be updated by tomorrow, i have a cousin who is a manager at ups in Mississauga and he said when ups recieves large amounts of shipments between friday and Sunday the information is usually updated the following business day.

Mine is scheduled to come tomorrow between 12:45 and 4:45, also got an email from Ups letting me know its on time and scheduled to arrive at my door tomorrow.

I got two on the way and probably on the same plane as yours. Its normal for it to go un-updated over the weekend. Expect it to be updated over night tonight or early morning and quickly get sorted and on a delivery truck.

Mine is expected tomorrow as well.

Ditto here. I'm on the same track. UPS Choice sent me an update this morning saying it's coming tomorrow but the detail track says it's still in Korea. We'll see tomorrow morning. I'll believe it when I see it's out for delivery.

Can't be a real time system which is too bad given the circumstances :(

Ups system is terrible but they always seem to deliver on time.

Yeah our phones will be here tomorrow without an issue I have never had a problem with ups not delivering on time.

I'm in Ontario so UPS will be working on Monday here. We'll see. If the tracking eventually shows the phones shipping out of Korea on Friday we might be ok. We'll see tomorrow morning I guess.

Yes, it was “WORLD EASE” now changed to “WORLD EXPEDITED”. I don’t know if that makes any difference.

We will just have to wait until tomorrow morning then for an update.
 
Anyone able to reserve an iPhone online? I get so many notifications from Istocknow but never found one when I check in App Store app.

I managed to get a reservation for silver 64gb on Thursday and cancelled it once I arrived to the apple store to see the silver one in person .

I also managed to reserved a SG 64 this morning at 6:00am sharp and will be picking it up this afternoon. My preorder is stuck in Korea since Thursday 7:28pm according to the UPS tracking and I have been getting updates saying my package is being process at the clearing agency. If the package is simply get transfer in Korea, I don’t think it need to be cleared unless the phone need to swing by the Samsung factory to have a screen install.

Anyway, I am going to pick one up today and won’t open it until I found out the delivery status for my preorder.

Our phones are together then. Hope we get it very soon.
 
Anyone able to reserve an iPhone online? I get so many notifications from Istocknow but never found one when I check in App Store app.

I'm starting to question the validity of some of the notifications. The Coquitlam store is responsible for 9/10 notifications I get, all for a SG (despite my looking for both colours), and I've never, ever seen it available in the app. Usually I'm staring at my phone when the notification happens, with an order queued up in the background. It takes me 2-3s to get to the "pick your store" page. Nothing, ever.

When the notification is for other stores, I frequently can pick them as a pick-up option, but the stock is gone by the time I complete (another 9-10s).

Looks like I'm waiting for my ordered phone to finish it's Incheon vacation (there since 8th), and be delivered into my hands on Nov 14th Nov 15th "Scheduled delivery information is not available at this time. Please check back later."

Also, for anyone playing "track the ICN -> ANC flights" there are two upcoming:

UPS49, taking off at 2:25PM KST

UPS53, taking off at 6:00PM KST

Neither say where they're going after ANC.

If you are referring to istock notification, then I can say istock never work for me. I had better luck used my apple apps at 6:00am to reserve my SG this morning as well as a silver one a few days ago.
