Scheduled Delivery (Updated): 11/4/16. UPS has had my new iPhone in Zhengzhou since 10/28/16. If UPS delays its departure further, I might have to wait until 11/7/16.
Got a tip for us?

the problem is not with apple, its best buy lol... apple will send it to my office.. i just want it on my desk as soon as i get back to office
According to Apple, my order shipped on 10/28/2016. But as of 11/01/2016 UPS has not yet been able to load the package on the plane. Now UPS cannot estimate a delivery date.
Looking at the entries below one gets the impression that the Chinese government agency responsible for clearing packages for export does not work on Fridays or Mondays.

Finally, movement. My new iPhone arrived in Korea at 7:22 PM (13 hours ahead of EST). If it clears Korean customs without delay and gets routed directly to Alaska, perhaps it will get here for delivery by Friday.
It took 14 days for my order to change to "Preparing for Shipment."
Where are you located? I didn't see any in the west cost. Nor Cal region. I was checking like a mad man.
Perhaps the West Coast will be supplied with Blacks and Jet Blacks from that UPS plane now held at Incheon, Korea.
I just some saw on the West Coast...............in Fresno...way far from San Diego where I'm at.
EDIT:
FINALLY, some popped up in San Diego!!
Made an instant purchase in case it gets away!

Congrats. I was eyeballing the chicago area...one popped up in Naperville store. Ordered for tomorrow pickup! Forget waiting until 12/6...lol
Seriously!...I've literally only seen Sim-Free models available in CA on the day that it launched 10/13, after that day there was none in CA until today, and I literally check daily.
I am getting increasingly disappointed. The latest entry by UPS on the progress of my package was: "Pkg shipped; delivery being scheduled." This is not very informational --especially considering that the entry was made at 1:40 PM EST and, as of 6:40 PM EST, the package has not left Incheon, Korea.
