*sigh* I'm still getting a delivery of 9/25. Oh well. Happy iPhone to those of you receiving your phones today! :)
 
I cancelled my will call but called to make sure I didn't screw anything up by doing that. The lady told me that it's still scheduled for today even though it doesn't say that on my tracking now.

If you cancelled your will call after the trucks left this morning then it's gonna sit in the center until tomorrow.

You'll likely have it tomorrow. Watch for it to leave Louisville in 7-8 hours with everybody elses'.

sooo... its in my city and just because its the international hub or whatever, I still will not see my phone for 2 days?
You think there is anyway it could be ready for pick up today if I called? I am just trying to figure out if some of you were on the same flight and have arrival time today and I don't know what is happening here?!?

Customs clearance is sporadic and slow, you'll have it tomorrow. The government lets nothing leave before clearing customs.
 
Well this stinks. Just woke up to see if my phone made it to Boston overnight and it's still stuck in Louisville. What the hell. They must have pushed through anyone that had express saver and kept the expedited ones behind a day.

Also in the Boston area, also in Louisville last night (12:18pm) and I'm listed as express saver. Delivery has shown as 9/22 (early) 9/23 (originally scheduled) all along.

Is there any chance that the customs/shipment does not happen today, due to priority of other 9/24 packages, or UPS just saying "these aren't due for another day, they can wait a day?"
 
Hey guys i've been reading this thread for the past week, but finally made an account so I can reply.

Mine shipped 9/19 and i am a 7:10er who arrived in Incheon at 8:04pm

But guess what... It hasn't departed Incheon like everyone else..!??!?
Still just sitting in Incheon...!?!? My delivery date is 9/25.. can it still deliver 9/25?

Mine too....still in Incheon and did not leave with the others that are in the US now And being delivered...wth???

Can you speak to the issue of packages allegedly still in Louisville and still have a delivery date of today?

That's fine because I can still go to the center and pick it up. I only need will call if its coming today because no one will be around to get it and I don't want it sitting on my steps.

If it really is here I'll be near the center in the afternoon to pick it up.

TBH I won't even get to open it today because I won't get home until late at night.

Nah, that's not really how UPS operates. The request is already in to the census bureau and will clear any hour now in time for the evening shift at Louisville. Most phones will be out by 5 pm or so.

They won't release an iPhone without an adult signature unless you pre-sign because they're high risk items.

Last night you said our phones already went through customs. I'm confused why that doesn't appear to be the case now.

"Your phone already went through customs. The origin site (in this case China) processed it already and scanned the documents into a computer that were sent to Louisville ahead of the shipment so it was all ready to go when it got there."
 
Stuck in Kentucky with a delivery date of today. Never made the RDU flight. I'm bummed. This has got to be the worse release for us in the history of the iPhone. Yes, I know it's only a phone, but we are patiently waiting for them to get here so we can switch one of our 5s out to my son who currently has a totally dead phone and an unhappy mother.
 
Just woke up and obviously the first thing I did was check my tracking and here's what I'm looking at...

Incheon, Korea, Republic of09/23/20147:56 P.M.Arrival Scan
ZhengZhou, China09/23/20144:46 P.M.Departure Scan
Shanghai, China09/22/20149:40 P.M.Arrival Scan
ZhengZhou, China09/22/20148:40 P.M.Departure Scan
09/22/20145:44 P.M.Location Scan
09/22/20145:09 P.M.Origin Scan

So I guess my phone went from ZhengZhou to Shanghai and back to ZhengZhou without a scan somewhere and now it's in Korea. That or the second ZhengZhou should say Shanghai. I dunno. Just hoping it's off to Alaska soon so I can pick it up tomorrow morning like currently scheduled.

I have an arrival scan at Incheon at 7:56PM as well.

What expected delivery date do you have? East Coast?
 
Well I finally got "Out for Delivery", So now I just sit here and wait until I hear that knock on the door lol.

We can track airplanes in the air but not ups delivery trucks :(

There's nothing wrong in wanting to know where a $1000, easily steal-able item is.

"Your phone already went through customs. The origin site (in this case China) processed it already and scanned the documents into a computer that were sent to Louisville ahead of the shipment so it was all ready to go when it got there."

So China uploads an image of the mass invoice for our phones with a commercial value and description of goods into the computer, but they don't technically clear customs until they physically arrive, and the US Census Bureau examines the uploaded images and approves them. Sorry for the confusion. It looks like millions of phones created a backlog in the government system again like last year, so they'll be clearing in the next several hours one by one. Somebody's phone is clearing right now, but they probably aren't on the forums to post about it. lol Blame the government's legendary inefficiency.
 
With the other objects on the table it looks like you were plotting against UPS if this didn't work out well today. ;)

Abort mission solider. The package has been delivered.

LOL!


Hahaha I didn't have scissors for awhile so I used a razor to cut paper
