clicking on the "shipped by", this is what im getting from UPS delivery commitment. Mine says UPS Worldwide Express, others say Expidited.

for Express...
Delivery Commitment

Import:
Delivery by 10:30 a.m. or 12:00 noon
Next business day delivery from Canada and Mexico
One or two business day delivery from Europe, Asia, and Latin America

i can only assume if everyone's iPhone 5 is in the US today, you should receive it tomorrow or wednesday at the latest?

for Expedited...
Delivery Commitment

Import:
Delivery within two business days from Canada
Delivery within two or three business days from Mexico
Delivery within four or five business days from Europe, Asia, and Latin America

I could be wrong though?
 
Mine finally left Louisville this afternoon for NW Atlanta. Still no delivery day on the tracking info.:confused:

Mine is stuck in China as well for the past two days. It's frustrating, though I'm trying to convince myself that it's en route and just not getting updated with the scans. I remember my 3GS phone did the same thing. The status was that it was in China the night before it was due at my house! But suddenly it got updated and it had been moving all along without scans. We'll see.

However, this will definitely be the last time I do a pre-order. It's not been a fun process.
 
Could UPS be using other companies because I don't even see any scheduled UPS flights to Chicago?
 
If anyone's interested I got this off Packagemapping.com..relevant to anyone else who was among those stuck in Zhengzhou for the weekend.

I guess that means the plane contjnues on to Louisville without being unloaded.

This process for us on this thread has not been fun but I can't discount pre-ordering in general...if we get the delivery on launch date its worth it but I am DEFINITELY not putting in an order if there is any delivery delay beyond launch...either that or used learned lessons such as Apple Store App or thru carrier website

Unless I can manage to get my preorder done as soon as it starts I'm going to go to the store next time.
