Anyone else got theirs delivered if you came the Shanghai route?

Do I really have to wait till thursday??

I think we're all in the 1:56AM club. I havne't seen a single person in that group get an import scan as of yet. Been 11 hours and counting....
 
To make ourselves more recognizable and be able to benchmark ourselves against others, let's standardize this. I suggest we identify ourselves using three identifiers such as:

Me = 7:10, 1:34, 9/25
Still waiting for an import scan myself. It's been more than 12 hours. :confused:
 
So I have to wonder.....ANYONE with a 1:34 arrival scan get and import scan yet? I don't have a good feeling about this.

Yes I have the 1:34am Arrival Scan and got the Import Scan at 11:33am. Originally, mine was supposed to be delivered today but pushed back to tomorrow when I refreshed and the Import Scan showed up.
 
I've been in Ontario but just found an import scan in Louisville at 12:43 PM. They also pushed my delivery date to tomorrow, which obviously makes sense because they can't deliver a phone on the west coast to me in Ohio today. :p

But I don't see a departure/arrival, so I think my phone in still in Ontario, but they did a remote import scan in Kentucky???

Can I get some clarification, please? :eek:
 
It looks that way. I don't believe UPS goes to any other airport and the Stafford Customer Center is the main one for our area. They told me if I did Will Call that it would go to the Stafford hub as well, but that's still quite a distance/time for me. I mean you know how it is with Houston traffic. :)

UPDATE: Just to double check, verify with UPS (maybe using the chat will work,) that it is to arrive at the Stafford hub.

I live in Stafford so this is right down the street from me. I am hoping it goes there.
Probably would still be too late to pick up tonight though if it lands at Bush at 6pm.
 
I've been watching this thread for 5 hours and plenty of people have said that when they got their import scan their delivery changed from the 25th to tomorrow as I figured would happen. I suspect that will be the case for most everybody, with a few people still landing on Thursday when all is said and done.
I appreciate all the information that you're posting here, but I'm not going to believe you anymore. Until my iPhone is in my hands, all you're giving me (and probably everyone here) is false hope.
 
Let me rephrase.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were grouped on the planes by delivery date, and that's the order they are going on the belts.

That could be, which means ours will be the last to get scanned, but unlike when they sat in China because there were no flights out after they missed the Friday flight, UPS part-time shifts that unload and load will stay and work as many hours as it takes to catch up and get done in almost every circumstance. The normal shift is 3 1/2 hours, but if they have to go 5 hours right up to departure time they will.
 
No way, they're being processed as fast as they can come out of shipping containers, in whatever order they come out. UPS doesn't have time to put stuff aside by delivery date, we just process as much as we can, as fast as we can and don't get to go home until we're done.

I have a feeling there are going to be a lot more Thursday/Friday deliveries than you expect. Of the 4 planes that landed last night, only 1.5 have been imported as of right now. I have a feeling its going to be more like 50% Wed, 50% Thursday.
 
I know stuff gets hung up due to the government. I just hope they update the software so you don't get an email at 4am saying your package is being delivered today when it hasn't even been import scanned.

Ah nice that's convenient. Yeah it's going to be too late to pick it up tonight.
What does your UPS tracking tell you since you have it on hold for the "delivery date?"

After tomorrow when no one gets their shipment, he will disappear forever. He won't want to stick around to get lambasted!

It's a pretty brutal crowd here.
 
On its way

Mine left on 9-19, just arrived in Louisville 2am this morning 9-23-14. Hasn't moved since, still says 25th expected date. Way better than the 10-1 thru 10-6 originally stated. iPhone 6 plus 128gb Space Gray AT&T.

So essentially, what everyone already knew already. Great predictions.
 
I got import scan as well. What does that mean? Can we track the flight to Northern California? Thanks! It is schedule to be delivered tomorrow. Mine never changed. It was always on Wednesday.

Just like nobody believed me when the import scans were going to start rolling in this morning, and then they started right on time. The import scan window is still going on. There's millions of people getting their phones that don't come on here to complain.
 
So far at my current address, USPS has managed the following:

-Scanned as delivered something they delivered three days later since the apartment office was closed instead of delivering it to my apartment (not gated mind you)
-Delivered the Amazon Sunday boxes for the entire complex to my front door without a knock
-Failed to deliver Amazon Sunday shipment because my residential apartment apparently counts as business closed somehow
-Delivered everyone else's mail to my locked mailbox
-Delivered a check that I didn't even know to expect (So I wouldn't have known it was missing) to some other apartments locked mailbox

I know there are a few more cases but I can't even remember all their shenanigans.

wow. well, one thing is clear, usps sucks all across america.
 
I'm in the 1:34AM group and I just got my Import Scan. Was originally scheduled to be delivered today, now it's pushed back to tomorrow. Took off of work for nothing.

Good. There is still hope for the rest of us then.

No chance of today, if that's what you're asking.
