Yeah, but I was the one who said Sunday that the phones were still in China and would leave Monday morning at 4:45 am eastern time, and that's exactly when they left, and I told you guys exactly what time they'd be in Louisville and that some would be delivered Tuesday, some Wednesday, and probably a tiny tiny minority Thursday. It's just people ignored me and listened to the rainbow and unicorns predictions. Lol
Got a tip for us?

Finally, the three words I've been waiting for... 'Out for Delivery'.
Amazing how fast these things move after they hit the US!
It was a long wait, but still two days 'earlier' than Apple's order status ETA.
I won't exhale until it's in my hands, and fully inspected, of course.

Like I mentioned earlier, flyingwasabi hasn't steered us wrong. You're info has been solid for as long as I've been reading this forum.
Boooo. My deliv still shows today but I'm not going to call anyone. What are they supposed to do about it? Go fetch it from Louisville for me? Tomorrow is still better than 10/1-10/6... Just UPS messing with me getting my hopes up saying 9/23, then 9/22, then 9/23... now it's - JUST KIDDING - it's 9/24! Maybe...But we still show In Transit ON time.
Yep. Because we aint ever gonna see those folks here again. God, bless em - its like they got paroled.
Mine is sitting in Incheon, Korea, Republic of.
Same here!! When is your delivery date scheduled for?
You're right! I'm not meaning to diminish your contributions in any way; people are just fickle.
Alaska is just a refueling stop. Many, many flights from Europe and Asia stop there to refuel before going to the "lower 48". It's not just carriers stopping either. Many of the the other major airlines stop here as well. You could think of it as one of, if not the, major pacific hub of the USA.
The Ted Stevens airport is beautiful as it recently underwent a $500 million dollar renovation on the 3 main concourses.
Well except when I erroneously thought that the ZhengZhou shipment might have snuck out to Louisville by Saturday, but after that window came and passed I kinda knew they never left China. The tracking system is sometimes slow but not "misses 5 scans in a row on a million phones" bad I don't think. Lol
Seriously though, I'll repeat one more time so I can quote myself and gloat later, your Louisville packages will get an import scan sometime in the next few hours, and depart Louisville around 5 pm rush hour and 99% of you will have the phones tomorrow, even if it says Thursday (myself included).
Arrrrr! Customs is holding up my shipment; no import scan at Louisville yet. Feh. There goes any chance of delivery today. Hopefully tomorrow! 9/25 worst case.

Besides that one glitch Wasabi, I trust what you've said. Besides, what do I know? I wrote you're instead of your in my last post. Thanks again for the good information

i still have my hopes up, mine says is still on KY, and delivery date of today. I have bad experiences with the UPS tracking here in FL, I don't if its the servers or what, but I can track a product all day and is still on another state, but then I track the number again 5min later and 4-5 scanning updates, and the magic word of out for delivery appears. it normally lags for 2-3 hours before I see the actual position of my package, this happens some times.
What if the Chinese government implanted trackers into the phones they were doing their "security scan" on and now the U.S. government is having to get the trackers out during the "customs inspection" and we never get our phones?
Same here and in Florida as well but highly doubt we are getting our phones today without the customs scan by now
