good morning

Wondering if anyone else has theiriPhone order for Sept. 21 delivery stick in S. Korea.
Online site. Said to call Apple

I received an email stating it was shipped from Applewatch and CC was charged( not pending)
 
Take heart. Mine's been in Korea since the 18th. Still says Friday delivery. I'm sure they'll all be where they're supposed to be, when they're supposed to be there.
 
This happens every year - just relax. The phone will come when it comes. I'm not minimizing your desire to get it ASAP, but rather you have little to no control over the situation and roll with the punches
 
My guess is that it's already here and the foreign tracking postings have not kept up. Which would help explain the 'on hold' messages others are getting. They are 'on hold' because they phones cannot be delivered till Friday.
 
Oh sorry. I did not read the other thread since it was email on shipping not an order notice it won’t be delivered
 
It's because North Korea is currently taking control of all the phones. It's going to get bad!

On a lighter note, it's the same every year, lol. Your phone will be in your hot little hands tomorrow, don't you worry. This is how it works. It's called LOGISTICS! :D

Brighter side it can go from Korea to Kentucky tonight direct flight then to destination tonight
 
Just curious. I have pre-order every year never saw this issue.

I’m guessing it is a plane issue or customs and I think once I missed launch day but they delivered Sat.

But Applew said to call them because of the issue..why I posted
[doublepost=1537447873][/doublepost]I was mostly worried not about getting tomorrow as much whether there was a billing or other weird problem despite my CC have charge on it
 
Same issue here. My XS Max shows "Shipment On Hold" and still in Korea, whereas the rest of my order (2 watches and an XS regular) is in Kentucky. My order page on Apple.com even "There is an issue with your delivery and the carrier is unable to deliver your package. Please contact us at 1-800-MY-APPLE.

Been on hold with Apple for 30 minutes now. The Max was the one thing on this order I really needed on Friday. My iphone 6+ screen is no longer responsive and I have basically been using Siri to communicate with people the last few weeks.

I was on hold for 25 min before I had to hang up never got an answer. I bet we get it Saturday

I was just worried it was my order but it looks to be a shipping customs etc issue
 
Mine has now departed Korea, as of 30 minutes ago. My apple orders page no longer shows any hold or unable to deliver shipping issue. Both Apple and UPS now say delivery will be tomorrow.

Crisis averted.

Mine left China earlier today and arrived in Korea at 7:45pm their time. I am not sure why it went from China to Korea instead of Alaska, but I have a feeling this means mine will not deliver tomorrow. Its 11:55PM their time now in Korea, and it still hasnt scanned out to leave.
