My UPS tracking notifications went from Order Processed in United States, straight to origin scan in Memphis, TN. Now just the waiting game until Wednesday! I have to be at work until noon though. I'm wondering if I should leave a note in case UPS shows up before noon. I'd hate for my phone to get delivered while I wasn't there.

Question for the people who received their phones. Was the apple delivery date more accurate or the UPS ? Apple website says delivery on 22nd November while UPS says "end of day on 17th November" .

Phones in Shanghai at the mo.
UPS

Mine has left Anchorage and on the way to Louisville. Delivery has been updated from unavailable to 11/16.

Mine sat in Korea for 5 days, then finally someone decided to stick it on a plane early this morning. Hopefully it will find a plane to KY much quicker.

Check your tracking. Mine arrived in the ANC on the same flight as yours and is now showing a departure scan:

Anchorage, AK, United States 11/13/2017 9:47 A.M. Departure Scan
11/13/2017 8:06 A.M. Arrival Scan

I would normally say UPS, but during this ordeal UPS originally told me I would be getting my phone today, 11/13. Then it sat in Korea for 5 days, and the new delivery date is 11/16 which matches Apple. Hopefully yours will avoid any delays and get here on the 17th. I have just never seen a preorder roll-out this janky.

No departure scan from Anchorage yet. Guess mine got shoved to the side to linger in a dark corner for 5 days...AGAIN
 
latest update
location is blank.
11/13/2017 1:29 P.M. The package is awaiting clearing agency review. / Your package was released by the clearing agency

Was there a departure scan before that? What time?

Mine had a departure scan at 6:50 pm from Korea, then the above message same day at 5:54 am after that, which is Alaska time. Ended up landing in Alaska at 8:06 AM but I didn’t get the update to tracking until a couple minutes ago. Either it’s on a flight to Kentucky now or it will go to Ontario in a few hours. Hopefully. Might get it tomorrow!
 
6:50 departure scan.

I think we're in the same boat. Got to Louisville at 9:12 am yesterday, but has been stuck awaiting clearing agency review since. It's strange because my wife's phone left Zhengzhou at the same time mine did, on the same flight, but hers is still stuck in Shanghai now. Interested to see if they end up getting here at the same time.

Exact same.
 
How strange... Check mine out: View attachment 735334

This is what seems unfair. eppslogan4's phone was processed as "Ready for UPS" 30 hours after mine. However it's already stateside and I'm still stuck in ZhengZhou.

Mine had said delivery by 11/16 when I got tracking info but now doesn't say anything. Apple says 11/21. What do Apple and UPS say for yours?

For me, UPS says (said since it now says tentative) 11/15 and Apple says 11/20.

Mine has been in Zhengzhou since 11/9 without any update. Chatted with UPS today who said Apple's contract has a limit on the number of packages that can be shipped out of China within a specific time frame. Frustrating!
 
Seeing this just irritates me to no end. This phone shipped the 10th, cleared customs and landed in the US on 12th.

Meanwhile UPS's bs answer to those of us with phones sitting in China "shipped" since the 8th is basically that they haven't sat there long enough yet. Needs more sitting. Unreal.

My wife is in the same boat as you. What's strange is that hers shipped on the 10th at the same time as mine (still after yours), but is still stuck in China.
