Its in Louisville, they are ahead of time over there in Asia, so UPS post scans by time order, not in sequence order.
I don't think so; I adjusted times to DST. The Louisville scan occurred at 2:19AM DST Today. The Hong Kong Departure at 7:13 DST Today. And, from what I've seen, items scanned into Louisville at 2:19AM leave Louisville by now...

There appear to be a number of us on this Cursed Pallet that hung out in China for 2 days, made a long stop in Korea and now, it appears, a brief stop in Hong Kong.

It is what it is; I'm just posting so others in the same situation know they're not alone. My expected shipping window doesn't start till tomorrow and I'm gaining confidence I'll get it tomorrow or Friday at the latest!
 
has anyone else flight from KY to California been delayed?
[doublepost=1474462883][/doublepost]
where are you located?
Im in CA noticed that its stuck in KY. I guess we just have a string of bad luck with planes getting stuck all week long. This is getting stupid now. Im at the point where i might just go to my local apple store and try to score one, raw dog style.

Out for delivery! Things move really quick once it hits Alaska!
 
Same with mine!!!
[doublepost=1474464860][/doublepost]Did mine not go to Alaska? Looks like it should be delivered tommrow

I'm pretty sure it's on it's way to Alaska now. A UPS Plane (UPS63) left HKG at 7:33 en route to Alaska. It looks like it continues on to Louisville and arrives at 1:00AM tomorrow.

Of course, this is all fun guessing. The tracking on our phones is so screwy, I really don't know. All I know for sure, is that this batch of phones has been hard for UPS to deliver. Maybe it's a bad bar code or screwy RFID tag? Perhaps it was supposed to be on an earlier plane out of China and somehow got left behind and therefore has been in exception processing ever since? This could explain the phantom scan in Louisville. It's a puzzle.

Yes! Its finally happening. Damn that was a fast too once it started moving!
Having it delivered to work... never been so excited to head into work before. Good luck everyone!
Yeah, still no landing at Oakland....
its a 4+ hour flight. I had it held at the UPS hub here. It's ready for pickup since about 9:05am.

Keep me posted.
 
Out for delivery! But I have 2 packages out for delivery today:
-iPhone
-Lightning to 3.5mm adapter

Left at different times... Probably will receive the dongle before the phone, making me have a small heart attack...

Where are you located?
 
Mine was still showing departure from Alaska about two hours ago, just refreshed the UPS tracking and it apparently is ready for me to pick up !!!! I was wondering how it could leave Alaska yesterday and not be here today, looks like they're just way behind on tracking updates.
 
Guys... its here! Its been a great time keeping up with everyone.
May all your iPhones arrive yesterday!. Haha seriously it was a rough release year but all is forgiven apple and ups.
Good luck everyone!


Oh, now that you have your phone, you're ready to bounce!! BYE FELICIA!!!

:p

*KIDDING*... it's been real!!! Enjoy... I'm still stuck in Korea (as far as I know!)...

UPS tracking mentioned there was a mechanical delay in KY which would result in delivery one business day later (9/22).

09/21/2016 2:09 A.M. A mechanical failure has delayed delivery. We're adjusting plans to deliver your package as quickly as possible. / Your delivery has been rescheduled for the next business day.

At the top of my tracking page, it still says delivery is still on time for today (9/21) however.

Scheduled Delivery:
Wednesday, 09/21/2016, By End of Day


To try and gain some clarity, I chatted with a UPS rep:

Carlos C.: I would recommend if you can wait at least until 10:00AM please and check if we have any additional information, and no, sometimes they do not scan the package to avoid any additional delays, however since they have not changed the delivery date for tomorrow, you can still expect the delivery for today.

Thanks for that. Good to know since that's what mine is saying too

You have a small hairline scratch by your earpiece. It looks pretty serious.

Just kidding! Enjoy your phone :)
