Same here.
Same thing happened to me. There must be a reason behind this.

At first, UPS said delivery expected “tomorrow”. Then, suddenly, it got pushed back 4 days till the 14th.

Also shows phone is stuck in Incheon, S. Korea.

Well, my delivery date just changed as well to the 14th....still stuck in Incheon too. I guess I'll take a break from tracking every hour until Monday.:confused:
 
Journey started 11/07 and my phone went from ZhengZhou to Incheon to Anchorage and is now out for delivery!!!

This is phenomenal. I remember it being this fast when I ordered my MacBook Pro earlier this year too. Couldn’t believe that it was in a whole other continent the day before.

Apple still has my estimate for 29 Nov - 5 Dec. so for those in a similar boat, don’t give up. Apple/UPS *Will* over deliver and you *Will* get your phone WAY faster than you anticipated.

someone can explain this to me, I was supposed to arrive this Friday and now for Tuesday 14th...
Same thing with mine order. Hong Kong is not on the way to anchorage, it’s going back instead of going forward. My date changed to 11/14 and on the apple website it’s back to 11/17-11/24. How irritating!
 
My credit card was just (finally) charged for the full amount 7 minutes ago. No order status change as of yet in my Apple account. Still OIP for now.

*Update: Apple order status now showing "Preparing to Ship".

Congratulations! I’m happy for you, but what the hell, Apple? Mine shipped on 11/06 and now this whole nonsense is going on!
 
Question: my order just changed to preparing for shipment, let’s say that I’m gonna find one in the Apple store today, can I still cancel the order because the order stil not shipped?

Seriously what the hell is going on? What really bothers me is that in situations like this UPS and Apple will pretend like nothing is going on, since they attach an estimated delivery date way out in the future. They shouldn't pretend that its normal for packages in the possession of UPS to sit in the same place for 2 - 3 days with no movement.
 
I don’t know what to do
Because I’ve got a feeling that today is gonna be in stock in the Apple store near me
You can always return the phone that shows up from UPS (within 14 days.)

*shrug* Both of my orders have shipped and there is stock at Apple near me too. No choice but to just wait at this point.
 
The first of my two phones has shipped. The T-Mobile 256GB Silver I ordered with confirmation at 12:15 a.m. that originally said it would deliver 11/17-11/24 is now en route with an expected delivery of 11/15. The AT&T IUP 256GB Silver however is still OIP, even though I was issued a reservation code before 12:15 a.m. due to provider connection issues, which weren't acknowledged in an email until 3:45 a.m. I don't know why this phone is being held up, I really hope my reservation in line was made closer to midnight, when the code was issued on the Apple Store site, rather than 3:45 a.m., when they finally emailed me.
 
Update:
Switched from Preparing to Ship to Shipped at 11:57pm EST last night
Apple says Delivers by 11/20/17
Tracked it on UPS and it says Delivers by 11/15/17

Assuming UPS is correct, that means I went from no CC charge and Order in Progress to Delivered in a week (11/8 -> 11/15).

My package is in ZhengZhou and just went to clearing agency for the second time. UPS' scheduled delivery changed from 11/15 to Unknown.

Also interesting, mine says "Signature Not Required"

Yes! I was in OIP since around 3:20am 10/27 and went into Preparing for Shipment on Monday (I think. I know Preparing to Ship definitely didn't take more than a day because by the next morning it had shipped when I looked at it). Tuesday it shipped out and I REALLY didn't think it would be here by today (I remember yesterday looking at the tracking info and seeing that it was cleared from Korea - but my est. delivery date was no more). Cue some hours later and my est. delivery returned back to normal and it was in Alaska!! Now it's on its way to my door.

Congratulations! I’m happy for you, but what the hell, Apple? Mine shipped on 11/06 and now this whole nonsense is going on!

Thanks!! They will exceed your expectations, that I can assure you.

Wow that’s crazy! Happy for you! I hope I can get mine before the end of the week I’ve been stuck in clearance since yesterday morning.
