You really do not have a clue. Please just stop apologizing for UPS and Apple. Orders were split into 2 priorities and we were told that this would not be the case. Someone either lied or screwed up and either way we were misled and some people are getting the benefit of faster shipping. It's a fact and it needs to be addressed.
Like an early post said, my iPhone is learning fluent Korean. I'll probably turn it on to see something like: 안녕하세요, 저는 아이폰! 나는 당신을 도달 하는 긴 여행을 했다.
Picked up my iPhone 6 Plus at the UPS Customer Center this morning. Very cool. So excited. Just FYI, I'm in the Grand Rapids, Michigan, area. It went from Louisville to Kokomo, IN, to Grand Rapids. I'm assuming via truck since I don't imagine they put a plane in the air just for the short-ish jaunt to me.
Best of luck to all of you yet to receive your new devices!

Put a note on your door addressed to UPS instructing them to knock. Can't be too careful.
I have enjoyed reading this thread since we have all been in the same boat (group) this whole time and held off on posting anything until yesterday. I am in the 1:34am 9/23/2104 arrival in KY, delivery on 9/25. I think we can now see that UPS does put packages to the side if the delivery date is later than others, which I agree makes perfect sense if they have a high package volume with more priority than others. I do not agree with UPS not going ahead and having the 9/25 deliveries pushed through customs to get the import scans. I remember reading a post early yesterday that said UPS would not be dividing the packages up for import scan because it would be to time consuming. That was obviously not the case. Also it was said UPS does not want to hold on to the package because it would clog the system. That was also obviously wrong since the planes that came in last night that had express saver delivery packages pushed though import and shipped out while ours just sat there supposedly in the way. I guess the custom scans were working fine, they just did not want to have them pushed through. Maybe if they had been pushed through then they would then be in the way, I don't know. I do hope I get mine tomorrow, as a previous person posted that UPS only has planes flying into Jackson, MS on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. My local UPS distribution center is 3.5 hours from Jackson so I may or may not get mine tomorrow. I am glad many of you got your phones yesterday and will get them today. I have never followed a tracking of a package like this before. It has been interesting to learn how UPS operates and I will not have any problems with using them in the future as long as they hit the date they have always said mine would be delivered which it probably will. I have only had a couple of occasions when they missed a delivery date and they were both last Christmas shopping season.
Ummm yeah what flight are we on??? Did we get a private VIP plane or something as a 'sorry'?
I'm stuck in Louisville as well and am becoming just as despondent but I really don't see UPS's fault in this. It's completely on Apple for mixing (seemingly randomly) shipping service levels. It seems UPS is delivering exactly in priority of their services....as far as I know.
Originally 10/1-10/6, updated to 9/24, UPS updated to 9/22, spent the weekend in Shanghai and Osaka with many of you, and my iPhones are *finally* out for delivery today! Thank you flyingwasabi & techedude for keeping us company and keeping us sane through the ups and downs, you've both made UPS look good on a week where it looked very bad indeed.
I don't know but we were on the same flight to Louisville so I expect to see an import scan too!!!
