Yeah I was just about gonna go to bed and something told me to check the tracking info, uhh I shouldn't have, now I can't sleep, I leave for vacation on Tuesday and need my freaking phone. This is ridiculous.
Im thinking to save my sanity, Im just going to use my iPhone 6+ PDF mockup to pretend like I already received my phone.
Please have someone video this when you use it in public so we can bask in your "sanity"

I'll video it myself with my iPhone 6 mockup. lol
iPhone 6 Plus 64GB AT&T
Tried to order Fri 12th at 1am PST and I couldn't, got a reservation number at 8AM but completed the order the next day on the 13th with an estimated shipping of:
7-10 Business days
Oct 2-7 Shipping
Today Sept 22 I was charged for the iPhone and my status moved to "Preparing for Shipment"
So I think it's first come first serve since my place in line was held by giving me a reservation number to complete my order within 48 hours.
Was hoping to find one in store this week but I can't cancel now, so I'm stuck with you guys now.

so is it just 1 shipment that's backed up? if so, which one? i cant seem to get a straight answer from ups.
Here is news from the weather channel online. Tropical Storm Fung-wong, known as Mario in the Philippines, is moving toward the east coast of China after lashing Taiwan with extremely heavy rain and blustery winds Sunday. Earlier it brought deadly flooding to portions of the northern Philippines.
The tropical storm is moving north and is expected to pass very close to the coast of China near Shanghai later Monday. Winds in Shanghai gusted to 40 mph late Monday morning local time (late Sunday evening U.S. time) as the storm approached, but rain had not yet reached the city.
Not sure if it will be enough to cause further delays or not.
Well friends, I think Im going to hit the hay.....for the record, as of this moment, I have 2 phones en route with separate tracking numbers, both are the 1245am Shanghai showing a delivery date of 9/25 and a status of On Time and have not been updated with a delay or anything else.
Been fun, Night all!
(Setting my alarm on my iPhone 6+ PDF mockup...the thing is sweet!)

It's actually fairly weak, and looks to impact Shanghai sometime mid-day Tuesday (so, tonight for us). Still not a good picture, but not quite catastrophic. http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/warnings/wp1614.gif
At first I was disappointed my phone was still in ZhengZhou. Now I'm ecstatic it's supposedly still there and not in Shanghai!
I have the same shanghai delay status..
Just called UPS china, but they seemed not knowing about it at all..
customer service told me that the package might be delivered on wed..
wtf!!!!!!

So the domestic supervisor is transferring me to international. She kept trying to say that their was a delay with the security scan and kept trying to act as if it was a third party, not a part of UPS. She said she can't tell when my package will be delivered and that it might be today??? WTF, how can UPS not even know if this is stateside or not. I get the feeling Apple is going to be really pissy especially since the tracking update tries to make it look like it's the shippers fault and not UPS's problem.
What does this mean for us 9/25 people who aren't seeing a delay. Are they most likely part of this too and still in China?
maybe the ups system is simply mad.
since jose's package was once showed to be at HK airport, and then changed to be delayed also, ups system might just telling wrong status..

As I said earlier (but nobody wanted to listen to me), they probably are indeed still in China, and will leave in about 2 hours from now and can still make delivery as early as Tuesday morning.
