Well, seeing some folks sign up for UPS My Choice, I decided to do the same. And just got this:

This notice alerts you that the shipment listed below is scheduled for delivery tomorrow.

Scheduled Delivery Date: Wednesday, 09/26/2012


The UPS tracking website still shows Ready for UPS....

'Whadda ya know.... Woohoo! :)

Got that email, too. Odd because when I requested Will Call pickup, it said it would be available today, not tomorrow.
 
Mine finally left ZhengZhou, and is now in Korea? Is this a normal route?

One thing I have learned with this launch is that nothing is normal. Just be happy that there is finally some movement on the status updates.
 
Mine is the same.

We are going straight to Louisville, KY

People in that batch left a day after those who have "Out for Delivery" today. As long as there's no hangup with customs I'd imagine they'd be hopping on flights tonight/early tomorrow morning to be at local distribution centers in time to be on trucks for delivery tomorrow. At least that's what I'm hoping :)

Depends on the combination of how long you're stuck in Customs (I was there 25 hours) and if you get out in time to catch that day's flight to your hub. I landed in Louisville 2 days ago and it's just now making its way to my town's UPS location.
 
China depart

Does anyone know how the ZhengZhou 4:10 pm 9/25 flight is going?
Any information on the food service would be appreciated. :cool:
 
I had it happen just now, but it's my fault...I changed the shipping to go to a local UPS store and it rerouted everything. EDIT: That's just on one phone, it was supposed to be a delivery today but I'm guessing the reroute exception will screw it up and it won't arrive until tomorrow.

Meanwhile, my other phone departed Newark at 9:30PM last night and 12 hours later hasn't arrived anywhere. I miss Fedex.

Ugh, I didn't change anything with my delivery and I'm pissed now that I think they may have lost my package or something. This is ridiculous.

If you checked using packagemapping.com, it displayed that for me too, but the package still went to Korea, then Alaska, then Louisville.

The routes from China are fixed, passing through Korea or Hong Kong, then Alaska, then Louisville. I doubt it'll directly fly into Lousiville.

Update for those of us who took the Korea->Alaska->Kentucky route yesterday that landed in Louisville at 12:41am today: I just did the live chat with UPS and was told that mine is scheduled for delivery by the end of day tomorrow. I'd imagine most on that shipment will be the same. Wonderful news!

Woo hoo for you! Have fun! :)
 
My wife's white iPhone just showed up at the house. Mine should be here tomorrow, it's clearing customs in Louisville.

Funny thing was, I ordered her phone almost 6 hours after I ordered mine. (She decided she wanted white and I had to cancel her order and reorder a white one).
 
I was actually able to do mine a few days ago... FYI, it was NOT an option located in the buttons ("Change Delivery", "Request Status Update", etc), but actually to the left of those underneath "Last Location"

Last Location:
Departed - ZhengZhou, China, Tuesday, 09/25/2012
Special Instructions:

The driver may not leave this package without your authorization.Authorize Shipment Release
Shipment Release Authorized
Cancel Shipment Release Authorization


It may still not be there for you, but I know that when I was looking for it, I was looking inside the buttons and couldn't find it either... And it was sitting there right in front of me the whole time. :)

I just got the confirmation email from UPS stating delivery tomorrow. Thanks for the tip on My Choice! Still don't have the option for release but that's fine with me. I'll put the slip up on the door.

I did notice that our phones just made it to Korea though. Got a long way to go to get into our grubby little hands tomorrow.
 
Of the 5 orders pre-ordered around 11:30am CST on 9/14, all were scheduled for Oct 5, 4 of the phones have arrived or are arriving today.
 
whoa!
