My package will as in transit since 7th and was scheduled to be delivered today 13th. On 10th my package was at AK and surprisingly ups guys did work on weekend and I am about to get my iPhone today..
 
These iPhones have to be the most "cleared" items in customs history. I don't think that I have ever seen so may custom agency clearances on items LEAVING a country in my life.
I was originally told the 14th by UPS because, by any reasonable standard, it would have been here on the 14th. But that's not happening when the package just sits for 5 straight days (so far) in customs.
 
Question for you guys....my order says signature not required....I thought normally you would have to sign for the iPhone no?

Ok I am on the 9:47 flight from ANC. Exciting! Mine still says delivery date unavailable. I am guessing it is because they are going to wait to see if it clears customs in time to get on the flight to Seattle and Portland that leaves later tonight. If it makes it, I will have the phone tomorrow!

For reference this shipped on 11/8.
 
I figured. I've been stuck there since Thursday, so I was hoping I could see when I could possibly get my phone out of there. I guess I'll just wait.
I’m in the same boat. Been in Zhengzhou since Thurs. Zhengzhou must be nice this time of year with all the iPhones in bloom!

With UPS53 arriving at SDF in the early evening long before the overnight sort, we stand a good chance of getting our iPhones on 11/14.

We all must be on the same flight to Louisville.

I was thinking the same! The next flight to ATL doesn't leave Louisville till 2:40am. Fingers crossed.

I’m sure spot checks and thorough checks exist for some pallets.

True. Although, why would they need customs for outgoing shipments?

Also, do the phones have to go through US customs once they land in Louisville?
 
Mine is on its way to Louisville now. Apple says 11/16 delivery, but UPS says it's unknown. I was hoping for an earlier delivery, but it seems like it's going to stay with the 11/16.
 
I'll be fine if I can get my phone by Friday. I'll be knee deep in AC Origins and Battlefront II in the mean time
