Those customer service reps are probably as out of the loop as everyone else and it's a lot easier to blame someone else to get you off the phone/chat.
Still stuck in Korea....
Same here. I asked the UPS chat guy if they were going to do Saturday deliveries b/c of the delay (phone shipped Monday and I paid for 2-3 day shipping). He said to check back tomorrow. I don't think they'd actually do it but it was worth asking.
Getting really frustrating, though - I'm sure I'm not the only one who's had to rearrange my work schedule more than once.[doublepost=1474556575][/doublepost]
Has anyone been able to get information about the mysterious "operating conditions"? As far as I know there aren't any blizzards, floods, or alien invasions in Louisville...
Right.
This is the first year I haven't gotten a launch day phone and I was order-confirmed at 3:22est.
I bet you'll get it tomorrow. My tracking said that on Tuesday, and I got it the next day.
Thanks to Tim's leadership! In the past they would stock pile this crap in the states, which would facilitate launch day arrivals!! Seriously think this is my last go around with Apple... unless they produce something truly mindblowing. Only reason I'm not cancelling this crap is because NOW I have too much time\energy\emotion invested!!! Plus I took a credit inquiry ding (IUP).... If it wasn't going to be a hassle I would just pick up the matte black 32 gig sitting at my nearest apple store and be done!
[doublepost=1474557806][/doublepost]Ok, did I miss something?? I dont see UPS99 scheduled for Anchorage???
I got this same cryptic message on 9/20/16 3:44 PM. For me it was 2 days after the arrival scan. The next item on my Shipment Progress was the Import Scan @ Louisville, KY on 9/21/16 3:21 AM. I had my phone by lunch time on 9/21. The only reason I've come up with is UPS had stuck my pallet of phones on a 3rd party carrier so they skipped all the intermediary scans. There were several just like mine earlier on this thread.
Hopefully you will be pleasantly surprised when you wake up tomorrow as well.
Looks like it might have left: https://www.google.com/search?q=UPS99&oq=UPS99&aqs=chrome..69i57&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
The problem with Google's tracking is that it looks like it's making guesses based on where it should be. It says the info was updated 6 hours ago as well and the plane doesn't show up on flightaware/etc so if it is really in the air or not we can't tell.
I have a feeling tonight or tomorrow morning it will change just change to arrival scan at my local hub and be out for delivery for tomorrow (wishful, but hopeful thinking)
(wishful, but hopeful thinking)
Strange, I would expect the status to, at least, be cancelled... never used flightaware before, so not sure if there's a secret page for airborn flights?? Couldnt find it in the obvious spots.
Tell me about it haha. It would be so nice to just see it cancelled imo...
I think this is what most people are using to see the flights

It means UPS isn't taking responsibility and that Apple had too many Damn phones per day trying to ship.
I just received a text from MyUPS stating my package was delayed due to "adverse conditions." I then received an email stating "mechanical failure." The online tracking shows "mechanical failure." Not sure what to believe, but I've lost all hope for this week.
I'm so curious as to what day they started production this year. Virtually zero phones were in the US on launch day sitting at a shipping facility ready to go.I think from what i've been reading Apple original launch date was the 23rd and they tried to capitalize on the whole Samsung problems and launch earlier which in retro spec to us was a huge faulire leaving a bad taste is everyone's mouth. This is something I don't think Steve would of done but Apple has turned in a money locomotive and needs to gain the smallest advantage in very case, it just so happens this year it didn't work out like they had hoped
And judging by past products, Apple doesn't underestimate demand so it's not like they didn't try to produce enough phones.
They should have pushed the date back, it wouldn't have a significant impact on their reputation... I've learned my lesson this go around, once this comes to a conclusion I can honestly say I'm done with Apple ... for a while...
Thats what happen to me. I went from China to out for delivery today.I have a feeling tonight or tomorrow morning it will change just change to arrival scan at my local hub and be out for delivery for tomorrow
Looks like our shipments are on the same plane:
