Not really. Nov. 3rd delivery folks were on first class UPS services. I think it's because Apple thinks we already got bumped, we shouldn't mind if it's a Nov 6th delivery or Nov 5th delivery so they're using Worldwide Express Saver. Not happy about this.

What ever the case i am not sure about going with IUP next fall and the early morning madness i am getting soured on this but then I do it again I guess I like to punish myself LOL

Every year the “best” strategy for getting a launch day iPhone is different. Turned out yesterday the best strategy was to go to an Apple Store during the middle of the day. No camping or long waits required, or getting up in the middle of the night to place a pre-order required.

When are you here?

Well, in Colorado Springs I drove 20 miles to spend 3 hours in the cold outside of the store yesterday before they got to me, in order to buy the VERY LAST 256GB Verizon iPhone X. And by "middle of the day" here, all they had left was Sprint and T-mo 64GB versions, and sold out of those by dinner time.

My case and wireless charging pad arrived today...I’ll get an in-store protector for it when it arrives. Anyone know if Apple employees are allowed to put the protectors on for you? I suck at it.
[doublepost=1509837041][/doublepost]Well, unless scans are delayed, looks like my phone didn’t make the latest Incheon - - - > Anchorage flight.
 
just got a departure scan on one of my phones stuck in Incheon

Incheon, Korea, Republic of 11/05/2017 7:05 A.M. Departure Scan

That’s the original departure time for latest UPS99. Although it actually left at 7:32 am

UPDATE: ours are there says 8:15 so the scans are bleeding thru after the departure of UPS99

For the Korean to tour group they are moving finally. On UPS99 that just left a hour or so ago.

It’ll arrive in Anchorage in a little over 5 hours!
Horay

May not be a lag in scans. They may literally still be where their last scan was.

You win the price right where they were I do not understand the logistical delays but suppose there is a method to their madness ?

Mine FINALLY departed Incheon. 11/5/17 8:15AM

yes seems the Korean tour is over finally yeah. Looks like the 6th will be the day for us
[doublepost=1509841789][/doublepost]Well the grand tour of Korea is over, as a member of the grand Category 5 Taiwan Hurricane (Cyclone) tour of 2016 this seems very familiar. Why do my phones do this?

Anyway it looks like many if not all the phones stuck in Korea have left here is mine and the times are in this range to fit the departure of UPS99:

setting up my iPhone X now ;)

preordered 10/28 12:20am 11/17-11/24

Logged onto Apple this morning and saw every store had availability.

Canceled my preorder. Waited 5 mins for ATT Next to reset and reserved for pick up at 6:05am.

Never ordering through Apple app again. Id rather take my chances for an in store pick up the day after a launch.

So it seems everyone is canceling their order and buying in-store. For those that are still waiting who paid in full -- did you finally get a bump?

Canceled preorder. Ordered iPhone online. Reserved a pickup time at the Apple store. Purchased a screen protector. Apple employee used a machine to put on protector. Flawless.
