I am stuck in the same Incheon 8:30pm group as well showing a delivery date of tomorrow (not going to happen). I too want a replacement. It would be great to just have a pick-up at the apple store. I hate this crummy waiting till the stupid delivery date passes. I will never preorder with apple again!
This is my example of what has happened.
Lets say there are 6 people ordering a hamburger, the same exact hamburger.
Each person is given a number in the order they placed it.
Now. 6 gets theirs first, then 3, then 4, then 5. 2 has to wait an additional 10 minutes to slice the onions. Finally 1 gets their burger but it has mayo and they wanted mustard so they have to cancel the order and re-cook the burger which takes 10 more minutes before they can provide it to customer 1.
Apple has enough money to buy many countries in this world but cannot figure out how to ship orders in the order received?????

Sad but true.... At least on ups. Apple still has 2 days to pull it together.
I am in the same boat... delivery on 9/27 and last update is Korea 8:30 on 9/25 - Ok so i can understand the "slipped through without scanning" in Korea, and maybe even Alaska, but how could it elude the scan in Louisville and for customs, and departing Louisville? That i just dont get?
Join the ever growing group--there's at least 6 of us in this group that have been posting on this thread....
Yes. He/she just flew it through a thunderstorm, skirting the deep red area of the radar.
My iPhone's on your plane Cap'n Courageous...

Hope so! Maybe customs has ironed out the wrinkles now. I'm still showing the 27th as my delivery date (Texas). Guess we'll know soon enough...........
UPS has yet to even give me a delivery date, so I have no idea if that might include me or not.. It's been in Louisville since 2:02AM and hasn't moved. I'm in Houston. Am really hoping for it tomorrow as I work in the evening and not early and want to be able to get to check it.
I guess I am part of this "7:35 group" now, just found this thread after realizing that my iPhone probably is lost for who knows how long (says its gonna be delivered tomorrow, but still in Zhengzhang china or whatever it is... =[
ZhengZhou, China 09/23/2012 7:35 P.M. Arrival Scan
09/23/2012 7:05 P.M. Departure Scan
09/23/2012 10:06 A.M. Origin Scan
China 09/24/2012 2:09 P.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS
STILL SAYS ITS GONNA BE HERE TOMORROW THO? HOW STUPID! APPLE AND UPS ARE GOING TO GET HELL TOMORROW WHEN MY IPHONE ISN'T READY TO PICK UP AT 9AM LMAO!!!
Under where it says In Transit: On Time (which we know is BS)
Scheduled Delivery:
Thursday, 09/27/2012, By End of Day
Last Location:
Arrived - ZhengZhou, China, Sunday, 09/23/2012
But I saw a few people post with the same exact date as me that theres left ZhengZhou today, and that it says its rescheduling delivery time, so theirs is probably EVER more ahead of mine, which is ********!
FOR THOSE WHO ARE CURIOUS I ORDERED MINE ONE HOUR AND 20 MINUTES AFTER PREORDERS OPENED, AND IT ONLY TOOK ME THAT LONG BECAUSE NONE OF THE SITES WORKED, SO ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THEIRS ORDERED WELL AFTER ME, SO THIS IS ********, APPLE AND UPS ARE A ****ING JOKE!!
That's crazy, because I have no delivery date. Just says In Transit. Been stuck in Louisville for almost 24 hours now.
I just got an email from my choice that says
This notice alerts you that the shipment listed below is scheduled for delivery tomorrow.
Scheduled Delivery Date: Friday, 09/28/2012
If the scheduled delivery needs to be changed, select the Tracking Number below or log on to ups.com to request a delivery change from the tracking detail.
Although my tracking number still says 09/27 but i guess it will change soon
Yeah I'm in the same boat, I've seen other people get the "rescheduling delivery time" etc but mine is just stuck. It still says its On Time and will get Delivered Tommorrow...
Are you kidding me? What I would give for my package to be in Louisville! YOURS WILL PROBABLY BE OUT FOR DELIVERY TOMORROW (THURSDAY) AND FRIDAY AT THE LATEST
ME ON THE OTHER HAND? STILL STUCK IN MUTHAFUKIN CHINA? ON TOP OF THAT I PREORDED 1 HOUR AND 20 MINUTES AFTER IT OPENED, BEFORE PROBABLY 90% OF THE PEOPLE WHO ALREADY GOT THEIRS? LOL!

I have a feeling our phones were used as weapons...
Is it strange to you that most of the ones stuck, were supposed to ship on the 23rd... the same day as the gigantic apple factory riot? Get ready for the battlescared iphone 5 =[
Hmmm
Arrival
(SDF) Louisville International Airport
Scheduled: 00:48 (runway)
Estimated: 00:39 (runway)
Notes:
It is currently later at the arrival airport than the expected arrival time and the flight has not yet landed. This may indicate a delay or diversion. It may also be that the arrival information is not available or has not reached one of our data sources yet.
Probably means nothing.
If there's anyone still reading the thread that already got their iPhone 5: any chance I'll be in KY at 12:50am and out on a flight to BWI at 4:25am? Anyone move that fast on their way from KY>your local hub and then delivered that day?
Trying to hold onto the hope I'll get it today

Us 7:35-ers should make a separate thread so we can keep eachother informed about what we've heard from UPS/Apple.
UPS chat told me my package was still in China and its going to be delivered on the 27th and to keep checking the tracking page for the latest information.
What a load of BS. Clearly both can't be right, either its not in China or its not getting delivered on time.
