Your's is sooner than mine then, i guess you ordered earlier. I've got DHL, would of preferred UPS, they seem easier to track.
My order email was 08:08 for a JB 128GB Plus, original delivery date 04-10th Oct.
 
Y87457 should be landing in the next 50 minutes, but looking at my DHL shipment, i don't think my phone is on that flight, think its on the sunday flight :(

My dhl tracking for 6ky4342 has just been updated. Estimated delivery by end of day 30th September! On Apple account it's still saying 5th October
Ooo this is hopeful! I just phoned Apple to see if they could clarify and they couldn't! Just kept saying 'there will be up to date tracking available on the order' ummm no!
 
Why is there a date in October as the latest status?

via DHL, it will take around a week to get to us...
I don't know that's why I'm so confused with the tracking even though it says departed with the flight number!

Mine is exactly the same I'm so confused where it says departed with the flight number but says October in the date?! I suppose we will find out if we were on today's flight once it lands the pallet gets sorted and moves forward! Maybe later this evening tomorrow we will know for sure!

Mine was 4314 and arrived in Netherlands yesterday about 6pm and seen nothing move since! It's in the system as it shows Bristol and then on to my town as final destination but past day now it's disappeared. Apple website still says 5th October.
 
I feel as though someone, somewhere, in this day and age (sounding really old now!!) could make the tracking process SO much easier!
What's funny is that I think Apple, UPS and DHL all think the tracking actually works!! :cool:

My DHL flight freight tracking says my delivery is booked on Sundays plane from china. But then it also says departed which is a change from yesterday evening.
Flight Y87457

I'm on the same plane and destination as you, i've just looked at my tracking and it's current status says departed DHL hub, date Sun, Oct 02, 2016 09:40
 
My latest message from Apple was delivery on 30th September via UPS.
Found a UPS flight 5X11 currently over Kazakhstan, headed to Cologne, I'm guessing that's the one?

If it is on that plane then I guess there's an outside chance of delivery tomorrow.
doesn't look like 5X11 has been anywhere near ZhengZhou today. :(

it does work, if you know how to use it! LOL! 33 minutes to go to see if my phone is actually on this plane into Amsterdam or is it sitting in a warehouse until sunday...
 
I now have my hands on 2x JB iPhone Plus 256GB and 1x JB iPhone Plus 128GB :):):):):)

I apparently preordered with a company called solution inc during my desperate 2 week wait and they phoned me yesterday and said I could come and collect. Got there today and they had another 256 JB and a 128GB so I brought all three!!

Now to get rid of two. Any ideas where?

It also has the flight number which is what I find strange my app also has this which makes it look like it's on that plane.

Bugger, I'm not sure what's happening. My UPS tracker says 'in transit Departed - ZhengZhou, China, Thursday, 29/09/2016' and has a Departure Scan of 18:50 which I believe is 11:50 GMT.

might be on its way to Hong Kong or Incheon (S.Korea)..

from there they usually go to Almaty -> Cologne -> UK

though I have had orders that go Incheon -> Dubai -> UK

lucky dip I fear

Not too sure how this tracking works. Can you tell if the phone has left China with the info below or not? Any info on how UPS tracking in this situation would work would be appreciated. Thanks

Anyone else had the UPS 1 day delay in China and then had an update? @Baal seems to be one who has where I haven't

ZhengZhou, China 29/09/2016 14:21 Sender tendered the shipment to UPS after the latest collection for the requested service. A day delay is likely.

your's is sat in China now, probably along with ours which have been there since Tuesday!

They'll likely move in the next day or so
