So I could not wait any longer until Wednesday to get the phone I went into the store and got the same exact I ordered with no fuss. 2 minutes and I was out of the door with my beauty. So I bid you all goodbye. I'll be returning my preorder one as soon as I get it. Lesson learned. If I preorder again I'll be canceling if it says any other day than launch day. Hope you all get the phones without any further delay. ;)

Which Apple store was this? And how did you get an unlocked iphone 7 plus as a walk in?!

I think UPS moves planes and cargo on weekends but doesn't update the direct tracking as well over the weekend.

Hopefully the planes are already in Alaska and on the way to Lexington for distribution.

May be right, may be wrong.
Unfortunately you are wrong. It's all an automated system.

Mine has Shipped and has been sitting in China for 36 hours. It still says it will deliver on Tuesday to Houston but somehow I doubt that.

Did you check your support profile to see if it exists yet? Try tracking by reference number method, usually by now UPS is aware of the phone so ti shows up even though apple says it hasn't "shipped" yet.

Yep and still nothing :(
 
My iPhone 7 Plus estimate changed from 27th-29th to the 22nd on Apple's website and UPS sent me a text saying the 20th so tomorrow. I requested a hold for pickup so that I can grab it before work to set it up. I also already grabbed my Otterbox Defender too
 
Update - my 7plus is now in Incheon. I am not sure if it will arrive tomorrow like UPS says. Fingers crossed there are more updates today.
 
UPS must be really confident on those planes. Mine still stuck there too for a delivery tomorrow
Ive seen this before. They will update the delivery date and push it back soon unfortunately. It's a 13 hour plane ride from china to Houston straight through, but the phone doesn't go to the middle of the US first, it goes to Anchorage for a few hours, then to Kentucky for a few hours, then to the hub closest to your city, then your city, and on a truck for delivery. There is no way that will happen in 24 hours.
 
Updated delivery now says Wednesday the 21st. I received an email this morning that states its on time and will still be delivered tomorrow but when I login to UPS my choice it shows the real status.

Scheduled Delivery Updated To:
Wednesday, 09/21/2016, By End of Day
Last Location:
Arrived - ZhengZhou, China, Sunday, 09/18/2016
 
My 7+ 256GB Black is still showing On Time for delivery by end of day tomorrow, even though Apple's order page now shows estimated delivery on Thursday, 9/22. Keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow!

My Apple page shows the same thing but when I click on the tracking link from my Apple page or login to My UPS Choice, the new updated date shows.

Your tracking is different, it shows Korea so yours might be on a different plane.
 
Same here.... Matte Black 7+ 256 IUP Sprint

YOu probably mentioned it already, but what was your confirmation time?
I'm matte black 256 also, but my confirmation was 3:21am 9/9, trying to figure out what batch I could possibly be in.
