iPhone 7+ 27-29 September Apple.com thread

[FrankySavvy]

Im still in ZhengZhou. I had an original delivery date of 9/21 but it was changed to 9/22 earlier today. What is going on?

 

[itsMacTonight]

After a delay mine is now on UPS 2970 headed to Portlandia! Woot!!!

 

[PeasgoodNonsuch]

Nice! Hopefully I'll see mine soon

Still with you in Korea

Still with you in Korea

Since there have been no new flights from Korea to Anchorage, I'm hoping it was just a scanning delay!

 

[mzsigler]

I'm in the 2:49 departure group, hopefully this means I'll get it tomorrow.

Would this be the flight we are on to alaska??

 

[PeasgoodNonsuch]

My phone sent me an email to tell me to get it the hell out of Korea

hahahaha!!!

 

[stonefeet]

well some of you got out of korea and i'm still there (hoping for a missed scan on the earlier flight) will know soon (maybe)

so for those whose pkg's stuck in China, I hope this helps!

She's just telling you to wait. this helps no one as they are forced to do that already.

As for what the hell the package is doing: Each package comes off the assembly line, placed in a box, and a UPS label slapped on. Once this label is printed the "Origin scan" is uploaded to UPS and so it begins. Apple can't place your phone on the truck at that moment, they need to build up pallets and pallets of inventory so they can fill a truck/plane up. Thus you must wait for other phones to be made as well.

My tracking now says this. Any ideas on the actual status?

So my order got stuck in Kentucky last night and they said they rescheduled my delivery date for the following business day but had no delivery date estimate posted and now it is still seemingly stuck in Kentucky but the delivery date went back to the original tomorrow delivery. I think I will get it sometime between now and the end of time. I think.

This is exactly where mine is too, same status and shows delivery for tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

So yours was like this before? And suddenly was updated that it left Korea?

I would say it most likely is a missed scan because there are no other flights out of Korea to Alaska that I can see...

There's one

 

[mjayk90]

There's one

I stand corrected...I didn't think to filter on Polar Air Cargo. Looks like it's the last one of the day too...

 

[jaybagley]

Delivered!

What do you think the chances are of phones on that plane getting delivered tomorrow on the east coast?

 

[tlburn19]

Based on my tracking, it says mine departed ICN at 22:46. I believe this means my phone is on UPS flight 99 about to land in Alaska any minute. Anyone else on this plane? Think we have a shot at Wednesday delivery?

Heres what my UPS profile shows

Well, assuming that iPhones are on that plane, I'd say a pretty good chance. But since it's not a UPS flight, it may be a bit presumptive to say that it's chartered by Apple.

Well I got a late departure scan from Korea after that other plane was in the air so it's possible or just a late scan

 

[ender21]

Delivered!

Haha!! Love the phone name!

Either way, I think odds are looking good for you tomorrow

I'd say it's a long shot, but UPS/FedEx definitely buy cargo space from other carriers when they need it. Who else do you think ships via Polar Cargo?

no, mine said that "departure scan from Korea earlier today but just recently displayed another departure scan from Korea. That is what i'm confused about
