My iPhone is finally in the US!!! Delivery date still showing Nov 15 :’(
Funny, mine departed Korea at the same time, but hasn't arrived yet in Anchorage (probably not scanned yet).

Edit: Turned out mine and your phone were travel partners. status just changed to arrived at 11.04am.

So, within the next few hours the shipment should continue to Louisville, KY for import.

The next big question is: Will there be customs handling during the weekend?

I guess it depends on where you live. In my area would be a nightmare to get one without getting in line for some time. The only phone available when I looked online that day available at the store was de 64gb and I got the 256gb. Some areas I heard that got plenty of phones, though.

You are right, I happen to live in big city with multiple stores. I was in the launch meetup forum and someone was able to get a phone at 9 a.m. (no line, no hassle).

My phone was just delivered.

Phone finally has started shipping for me but is currently sitting in Shanghai. Original estimate was 17-24, got pushed to 20-27 and now has a 11/16 delivery date. Everyone I have seen on here so far seems to have gone from Zhengzhou straight to Korea. Anyone else have a layover in Shanghai?
I’m also not sure what this means in regards to the timing of our route on the phone arriving in the US. My delivery date on UPS says 11/16, though.

Mine is also following the same path as yours! I was hoping that it would be in South Korea by now boarding a plane to Alaska, but I have a feeling that they will mostly likely won't move until Sunday (hopefully I will be wrong about that)!
 
On UPS my service level just changed to “UPS Worldwide Expedited”

Anyone else noticed this or know what it means?

EVen my phone arrived at 11.04am.. but point is why would there be coustoms check if it's already in US?
Also ups says scheduled delivery unavailable ..
 
So my order went from preparing to ship, back to order in process. What the heck!?! Anyone else have this?!
 
On Monday got an alert from cc of large purchase amount from Apple on line store. Got excited, checked order and was pleased to find that it had change from oip to preparing to ship. Kept checking order all day Monday but still showed preparing to ship and stayed that way Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Checked again this morning and at 8:00 am pacific time it was still listed as preparing to ship. At 10:00 the status was changed back to oip. Spoke with Apple rep who was not helpful and pointed out that I had the 11/17 to 11/24 delivery date. Very frustrating. Thinking about canceling order and just keeping the old phone. Own many Apple products and always been happy with them.

Same thing happened here too. Not sure what theyre doing but the rep told me that as well. Apple disappointed me with their shipping.
