How did mine to get to Korea, literally 12 minutes after yours, yet I'm still there? This whole thing makes no sense.

For anyone interested this is what I have so far...

Has anyone else been stuck in ZhengZhou, China since 11/9 at 9:00 a.m.? Wondering if our iPhones are travelmates.
yes, mine showing - ZhengZhou, China 11/09/2017 9:00 P.M. Arrival Scan
Have you had any movements since then?
Mine says scheduled to delivery on Wednesday on the iPad ups app but the website does not give a delivery date.

Apparently, there is one UPS flight a day from CGO to ICN and that is UPS flight 5X173:

So your package was probably on the same flight as mine. But the reason why they leave different from Korea is probably because they are going to different destinations in the US.

I guess so. I just thought since they all fly from Korea to Anchorage that they would stay together. It seems like most orders follow the exact same path until KY.

Oh well. I guess it gets here when it gets here.

Yes I still have one OIP that fails to cancel. ATT 256 Silver. IUP order. No pending charges.

My second order was just charged tax and is now Preparing to Ship.

ATT 256 Silver IUP order errored out 10 minutes after pre-order open. A phone was reserved message at that time and completed checkout later in the day when they sent an email to complete.

Mine says it will deliver on the Monday 13th. Does ups deliver on Sunday?

It should go to Anchorage Alaska, then to Lewisville KY. Mine has been sitting in Korea since 11/8/17. You got lucky and just breezed on through.

So if your card got charged but your phone order status still hasn’t changed to preparing to ship what does that mean?
 
So I just spoke with someone from UPS. They said my package delivery date was changed due to a delay when going through customs in Korea. She said they had to change the date to Nov 15th because at that point they couldn’t promise a delivery on Monday, but once it arrives in the US this date may change and I could still have it delivered on Monday, I guess this is the reason why Apple’s delivery estimate is still showing Nov 17-24 because I guess they know it’s taking a minute to get this phones delivered so they don’t want to under promise. SOOO I guess all I can do is hope the delivery date changes.

It felt like my deliver had been in customs a long time... i think were in the same boat. Mine is headed to Norther California (SF Bay Area)
 
I thought they all went ZhenZhou -> Incheon -> Anchorage -> Louisville KY -> Your Home Town

I may be wrong...

For the most part this is true. Mine didn’t go through Korea it came straight from China. Could be as I received on launch day. Sometimes they go to secondary hubs out west. Only UPS knows what they do and why. I’ve had mine in he past come to Louisville then down to Tennessee then back up to me in Louisville. But I got them when I was suppose to get them. Don’t care the route.
 
The other day one of the flights went from Incheon back to Hong Kong. (some happy people watching their phones on THAT plane!) ;)

Heh. You know what's funny? I wonder if it's Samsung phones that they're picking up in Korea holding you guys up. :)
 
My iPhone is finally in the US!!! Delivery date still showing Nov 15 :’(
