View attachment 735591 Good to know that I’m in the same company. I was originally scheduled for delivery on 11/16, then got moved to 11/17, then 11/20. Now the information is unavailable.

I called Apple, but they were not helpful. They said that the shipment could still be stuck in customs and if they don’t leave China by 11/17, they will not meet the 11/17-11/24 delivery window.

I’m still hoping for a delivery on 11/16 or 11/17.
This is my excat situation. Has anyone else gotten more information? Any guesses of a delivery date?

I am begining to think that UPS is having capacity issues on the air side of their operation. With phones sitting for days in places like Incheon, Anchorage and Louisville while having multiple flight departures each day, it sounds like their planes are flying very full from a volume standpoint. UPS doesn’t want to have to wharehouse anything that they don’t have to, they would much rather deliver the phones and get them out of their system.
I would tend to agree with this sentiment. It seems ludicrous at this point as to why Apple doesn’t split the shipments with Fedex and UPS to expedite things. Oh well.

Aaaaaah, I arrived to Incheon at 7:30 PM too, but somehow do not have a departure scan like the rest of you. I seem to have been left behind...so sad.

My tracking shows that my X arrived! It took 7 days once the shipping label was created.

It’s so cruel that we have a faculty meeting today so I’ll be leaving 2 hrs later which also adds an hour to my commute home.
 
The last update for me is Shanghai 11/13/17 7:16 p.m. export scan with delivery date of 11-16-17 in Florida. How is this possible? Anyone else stuck with me or know the path it takes from here.

ayone else with the same schedule?
 
It’s finally here.... *squeeeeeaaaalllll*
So basically it seems regardless of when the phone arrives places or how long it’s held there, you get your phone earlier than expected. Wasn’t yours originally the 15th according to ups? Enjoy the new toy!
 
I believe I read somewhere that Apple's contract with UPS stipulates that packages must be delivered within 10 days.

So all of the orders shipped on the 8th, 9th...they need to be delivered by the 17th (since there is no sat/sunday delivery) or UPS is in breach of contract with Apple.

Not that it matters but, you can at least expect UPS to have a fire under their ass to get these delivered by the end of this week.

I have all but the korea departure same as your.
Wondering if mine going to stuck there for another 4 days
 
mine shipped/billed on the 11th so 11/21 delivery for me with outside shot of 11/17 delivery
 
In my experience once it cleared customs and left Incheon it was pretty quick. I hope everyone gets there phones soon, cant wait to get home after work and check out the X

Wait what? People have departure scans already? Sonofabitch.

I figured we'd see catch-up scans once it hits AK. There are no more flights today or tomorrow.

Originally supposed to be 13th. Then after sitting in Korea for 5 days it changed to 16th. Finally started moving yesterday morning and Made it from Korea to DFW in about 24 hours. So yes it beat my UPS estimate by 2 days, but it took a total of 7 days on shipping. 11/7 to 11/14. I’ve posted my shipping details below.

sorry my Italian NJ brother, it seems like devices were tossed on the plane at random, as some made it and others didnt from the group of us who made it to Korea...
 
It’s interesting that at this point the issue seems to be shipping capacity and not supply.

That being said mine is on a truck for delivery today! Won’t be able to focus at work...

That's entirely possible, but it is equally possible that others made it on that just didn't get departure scans yet. That happens all the time. Sometimes if it doesn't deplane you won't see scans for a few stops until you finally get a bunch of catch-up scans all at once.

STILL just sitting in Louisville with an arrival scan! Just talked to a UPS rep who basically told me "Sorry, keep checking". So ridiculous
