Nope, mine did that yesterday in less. But once it got to KY it got delayed due to "operating conditions"

Exactly the same time frames and result too...guess it was a little dry when it got to the states and needs a bit more time in the KY to sliiiiide on over to CO, lol!

Here is the tracking from my phone, to give those looking forward to deliveries in the next day or so a current delivery timeline. Mine is a 256gb black 7+.

Mine had a delivery date of Wednesday and I woke up to an email from UPS saying it's rescheduled for today by end of day and then a text showing the same. Now the UPS app says "due to operating conditions your package may be delayed. / Your delivery has been rescheduled for the next business day." I guess I was expecting tomorrow anyway but it got to Louisville at 1:45AM so it had plenty of time to catch the early flight to Denver this morning.

Same message, just north of Denver. A little disappointing since I am already working from home today for other reasons. Was hoping...
 
I think we better hope our phones are on UPS99 taking off in 25 min. The boys in Korea would have had to hussle to get it on that assuming the updates are fairly real time.

Well that would give them about 2+ hours to sort and move packages to different planes, which is not unreasonable. People have their luggage sorted and delivered to connecting flights in much less time, and those things don't have nice, square shapes...

Well if I'm spending a day in KY because the UPS night shift couldn't scan things efficiently then UPS should pack a bottle of bourbon in there with my phone as compensation.

You're in Tampa too?! Mine says China but UPS hasn't updated since the 18th and Ups sent me a text about it still coming the 20th and I requested a hold lol

Yep, I am in Tampa and so is my phone. It arrived early this morning in Clearwater, then was transported to Tampa. Waiting for notification that it is ready for me to pick up at UPS (I didn't want it going to house when no one is home).

That's perhaps the problem, the night shift was packed in bourbon?
 
Well I had kind of just figured some of that out but the bad thing is the last flight today to Houston is around 5:05pm from Kentucky, so there is definitely no phone for me tomorrow. :(
That just doesn't seem to fit with how UPS works ... If you watch the UPS fleet on Flightaware, the 'next day air' stuff pretty much all arrives to Louisville around 11PM-Midnight and then leaves 3-5AM out to the destination. Will be curious to see what you post tomorrow, but I bet as long as you make it on a flight to Anchorage in the next hour or so, you will have it tomorrow.
 
My delivery date just got updated from 9/21 to 9/22.....

Scheduled Delivery Updated To:
Thursday, 09/22/2016
 
Mine wasn't due until tomorrow the 21rst. I thought good chance it will be here today as it made it to Louisville by 12:30 last night. This morning at 5:30

I guess I get to join those who UPS messed with. It's almost comical, except that's my Black beauty they're messing with! AAAAAARRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH...rant done for now. Good luck to everyone else.
 
After almost 6 days in Preparing for Shipment I got a tracking number! Still just sitting in ZhengZhou with an origin scan. Any chance I could receive this before 1pm on Thursday? I am leaving to London for 2 weeks and would love to be able to take the new phone.

That's really pushing it! Seems like it sits in customs for 2 days (on average), before leaving for Korea????

Anything is possible, but at this point UPS seems like they have less reason to hurry since it is not launch day. Not sure about this, but it sure seems like it to me.
 
This year is definitely a departure from the norm as far as iPhone launches go.

Very few phones, UPS planes avoiding typhoons, shipments sitting in departure cities for up to 3 or 4 days...

A mere 22 minutes after preorders officially started is when I got a confirmation email.

A mere 22 minutes and a phone that will be here 5 days after launch day. It's rare to see it this bad and the only reason I am even remotely upset is the fact that I changed my ATT billing address to my sister's house in Ohio while on vacation.

Gotta fly back to Florida Wednesday the 21st at 6pm and the ATT 7Plus 256 Black is supposed to deliver that day. Will have it held for pickup at the local hub which is only open 9-11am, and then 2-6pm. Gotta love O-H!

Logistical landmine this year.
 
That sucks. I'd get her to mail it lol.
[doublepost=1474379812][/doublepost]Well the flight to anchorage from Korea is in the air.
