I feel we've lost with perspective (& humor). It's just a phone. We chose to be 1 of 10 million. It's an experience we signed up for.
I learned a lot about logistics, that was fun.
I feel the real tragedy is that we didn't get a sticky in our support of fellow Oct 1-6 'ers..
 
I disagree at this point of time . In my opinion, we will be lucky to get them delivered by 9/25 Thursday, at this point.

what makes you say that?

I figure a major amount of central sorting happens all today, and overnight a lot of action will happen and by then its just a sprint away from our doors...
 
Its really absurd....any normal shipment, there is no way a package in Louisville since 1 am would not be delivered in the continental US tomorrow.
 
Departure scan, yay! Wonder what flight I'm on... my phone should be headed toward Boston.

Delivery originally showed 9/22 early or 9/23 on time, then got bumped back to 9/24 after last night's layover in KY. Editing to add it's a space grey 128gb 6+, which I imagine I can handle despite my feeble little girly hands. ;)

It's been nice being here with y'all. I have my iPhone now! It truly is bigger than big coming from an iPhone 4. It's like shocking. I tried a Youtube video and it looks really nice. I'm just installing some apps so I can try a game. I'll try answering any questions if you have one about the iPhone 6 plus!

Get out!!

GET!!
OUT!!

lol jk ;)
 
No one from here has gotten a departure scan for that plane though :(

I'm choosing to believe that our phones are on that plan, being as they scanned in Incheon, and then warped elsewhere magically for their departure scan.
 
Long lines at Customs

Hi All. First post here. I've been following this thread for days as it's been helping to hold on to what little sanity I have left. I'm on team 7:10, 1:34, 9/25, no import scan, no love for SoCal.

I am currently picturing my newborn iPhone 6+ standing in a long line, where they are questioning each phone one at a time:

"What was the purpose of your stay in China?"
"Is this your current address?"
"Do you have anything to declare? Any fruits or vegetables? An Apple? Hmm..."
"Did you visit any farms during your stay in ZhengZhou?"
"Wait a second... you are supposed to be expedited? I'm sorry, I'm afraid I have to ask you to step to the back of the line. We'll get back to you as soon as we clear the rest of these other phones. Next!"
 
NJ flight is like 35% there and no departure scan yet :( i mean cmon now UPS.

I know :( I worked from home today anticipating this iPhone delivery, and it turns out to be delayed. I asked my boss to WFH again tomorrow and he approved it. I just really hope it's not for nothing again. I'll breathe a sigh of relief when/if I see that departure scan.
 
9/25er here.

So my phone went from:

ZhengZhou-->
Shanghai-->
ZhengZhou-->
Incheon-->
Shanghai-->??...

Based on this, I now predict my phone will go BACK to INCHEON, then BACK to FOXCONN to be disassembled.

I don't know what to think.

Im hoping the departure just doesn't show up and I get a arrival one for newark or lawnside or secacus whatever
