Coming in for the home stretch!
Yes you are enjoy loving mine. Hope they get it to you soon. Not sure how far you are from Louisville. This year got there and import scanned 1:30 AM yesterday. Since so early the did not truck to east Central Illinois where i live they flew it about half hour away and it was in town and on truck around 6:30, out for delivery at the usual 9 and my regular driver handed it to me at 11:30 approximately yesterday.
 
Would you look at this! Un-freaking believable!
Darn just saw that seems they are having some flight delays and mechanical problems today must be a bunch of phones moving. I always wonder outside of the MacRumors crew how many folks are getting phones and or Apple and carrier shipments at same time when a batch of pallets comes from China. Hope that is wrong but it sucks if so. At least as members of the 6-11 crew (or later) we are getting or have gotten phones earlier than that date range which is nice.

I’m not sure if I see it today either.
How far is the location it arrived from you it might… unless that is far. Our UPS trucks do not leave hub here locally until 9AM or so, sometimes a bit late when loading more.

I am in Rhode Island. The flight was about 1.5 hours from Louisville. The phone is currently sitting at the UPS facility at the airport, which is about 20 minutes drive from home.

Hmm well thats pretty close maybe they will get it to you yet today lets hope so
 
For those of you that have already received your phone...how many of you received your phone on the day UPS said instead of Apple? Apple still shows 10/11 for me but UPS has 10/4.

UPS showed 10/1 for me but Apple shows 10/5. UPS's expected date eventually dropped and now there is no expected delivery date and Apple still shows 10/5. I expect to receive it on 10/5.

For me the UPS date was always more accurate. Only problem was that my phone was sitting on Pallets at airport in China for around 4 days. So the first round of when it was supposed to arrive (Tuesday 28) ended up wrong. It shipped instead on early morning of 29th, arriving in town on early am of 30th. Apple showed original date of 10/6 to 10/11 for some time after preparing to ship and shipped (while stuck at airport) but towards end and when it shipped then they first showed October 1st for awhile but once it got to Louisville then finally matched UPS and delivery today when package arrived in my home town for delivery on 30th.

Hi all, I am in the Oct 6-11 delivery window. I got a notice it shipped yesterday! But look at my UPS tracking details, does this make any sense to you? The times are all out of sync, it' like the date rolled over twice with a new status for the day or something. I am wondering what it means..

The dates use local times in China, which is ahead of US time 12-14hrs.

Often times we’ve seen flight leave late in the day from China, only to have an arrival scan in Anchorage a day earlier.

Glad to see your journey has started!
 
Still sitting in China. UPS says 10/4. Apple says 10/5. Unless a plane leaves today, I’m thinking the apple date is more realistic.

Yes as others have said it is in China, there is paperwork that has to be cleared (whatever Chinese customs and tax info) It was being reviewed china time at 3:45 AM and released at 11:31 AM (one at top they seem to always appear this way) Factory and airport close/connected. It then arrives probably with other phones in pallet at the airport facility and then the 9:27 and 10:20 scans means it is ready to load a plane. That could happen soon or in my case it sat that way for 4 days. Appears now however it is more like a 24 hour turnaround to a plane and then to US via Korea and Anchorage to Louisville. So this could mean it ships soon like today but just watch for the final scan of leaving China. Like mine below it will say departed from facility when its on plane and has left (9/29/21 at 6:02 China time)

I’m showing 10/5 on the Apple app while UPS says Monday.

Based on my launch day delivery, to make DFW it would have to be leaving Louisville Sunday at the latest. Unless the flights out of China only run on week days, we should be good.

Just waiting on the next movement scan.

Mine needed to get out of Louisville for Oakland by 4am or so to get it today. Looks like a very likely Monday Oct 4 for me for my original Oct 6-11 ETA.

Thanks @rjjacobson, but notice on mine, the times are not in sequence from bottom to top - it's like they start over on the same day???
