Yikes, I may be in the same boat. Tracking is still showing it in Korea, arrival scan 7:19pm.
Although I haven’t yet received an update from ups my choice.

So nobody else in here got an email from UPS My Choice showing the delivery date slipped to Tuesday while the UPS Site seems to be stuck in Korea but with delivery date still 11/6?
Ahh..Just noticed that the upgrade kit is supposed to come on Tuesday..The email was probably for that, not the phone.

Local store has phones... Can I just transfer my IUP to one I get today, and return the other when it arrives?

Patience isn’t my thing. I just reserved mine at the local Apple store. I’ll return my shipped one when it decides to arrive and give my 7 plus to my 11 year old. He will be so excited. Lol

Not sure about transferring it. I just bought it outright online. Curious to know the answer too!

I see no issue if you bought outright you can return or refuse delivery of the shipped one... Just go and get the new phone today and return the unopened phone to Apple when you get it..

Yeah the bought outright ones should be easy. My husband and I are both existing IUP going to IUP again. So we’d have to then sell the old 7/7+ (PITA). If my Monday date slips to Tuesday, I will try to figure it out, since I travel Tues-Friday.

Every store around me has them in stock and I’m stuck in Korea...
For those that had a scan arriving in Anchorage yesterday with the customs message, UPS71 just left there heading to Louisville 40 minutes ago. Be on the lookout for a departure scan in the next hour or so if our phones are on that plane. Post here if you see one please.

I hope UPS continues to update on their tracking site. I have one that has not moved from Anchorage so far. I hope it's on that flight.
So can I go to a store, cancel my order, trade in my phone and get one today? I am also part of the upgrade program.

Same situation - one phone last scanned as arriving in Korea, the other phone clearing customs in Alaska. These both involving upgrading 7 Pluses on the IUP.
Just spoke with Apple to ask if I could go to the store, get new phones apply them to the IUP and return the UPS phones when and if they arrive. They still show Nov 6 for both on their systems. They said I would need to wait until after Nov 6 and if the phones did not arrive by then, I could go to the store and do everything. But they said it would involve resetting carrier eligibility, applying for a new loan, returning the old phones.
The other possibility might be to buy two new ones today on IUP, transfer phone numbers from the 7 Pluses, then when the UPS delivery arrives, take those phones to the store. The trick would be to then replace UPS delivered phones on the IUP with the new ones. I'm not sure if this can be done. The more I think about it, the complications might not be worth it.

I don’t think that waiting till Nov 6 is necessary. I chatted with Apple and they said all this can be done in store. Cancelling existing iUP orders, reset IUP eligibility, upgrade and returning new phones in store on the spot.
Tempted to do it myself.
I think you're right about not having to wait to Nov 6. I was just repeating what they told me. I still think there's a complication with the IUP. I'm sure you would need to apply again for a new loan and resolve things after the shipment arrives - if possible.
Will there be another credit check? Isn’t that bad? I have good credit but isn’t it supposed to be s bad thing if it is checked too often?
If you were to apply again for a new loan, I'm pretty sure there would be another credit check. If that is a problem, I've seen that debated. The consensus seemed to be if your credit is good, it would not be an issue, but I'm just repeating what I heard. Can't say for sure.

Or, we could all just find other activities to occupy our time until Monday. You know, stuff like hobbies, family, friends, etc.
I played with the iPhone X the Apple Store last night (Its SO awesome!) in the hopes that this would take the edge off my anxious waiting. Instead, it only made it worse!
Going to stop checking UPS, and take my mind off this for the next 24 hours.
Agreed. I just wish UPS flies mine stuck in Incheon and delivers by Monday
I could if mine weren’t stuck in Incheon KR .. I’m one of those stuck with a 7:19pm scan.. I know scans can be delayed sometimes but I’m starting to doubt my Monday delivery date. Very tempted to walk in and try getting one. I’m IUP and I don’t mind starting a new loan and closing the other when it arrives. I’m just not sure they would let me.
