Mine sat in ZhengZhou from 27th Sep until finally last night when it shipped out to Korea. Looks like it left Seoul 45 minutes ago on UPS flight 64A to Anchorage. Should be Anchorage in 9 hours later and then off to Louisville. this forum has been great as I was assuming yesterday (before finding this) that UPS had surely lost my phone for good! Delivery confirmed for tomorrow hopefully assuming all goes to plan

If you look at the order details on Apple, it states "In response to COVID-19, our shipping partners are providing no-contact delivery." I am guessing that means a drop and run delivery with no sig.
This is correct, since the pandemic began drivers have mostly not been seeking signatures.
 
Finally on the move, UPS estimates delivery on the 8th

Get out of here with your balanced perspective and rational line of thinking. I came here to writhe in agony and spread misery.

No really though, I do enjoy these threads every year. More striking than the frustration is the sheer joy and excitement that bleeds through every page of folks waiting to get their hands on their shiny new devices. I know some folks are upset (I was for a bit too), but I hope no one is getting irreparably worked up.

Still "Processing" on my Oct 20-27 order after T-Mob T-boned my preorder 🙃
 
So my status changed this afternoon - what do you make of this, just a messed up UPS status? Would you assume it is on the truck to be delivered and the "Cleared Customs" is just bogus or posted late?

What a ride, my phone was delivered a little while ago. The UPS driver waited until someone came to the door. Grateful he did not just leave it without ringing the doorbell. Now to set this new phone up so that I can give my old XS Max to my daughter.

Well, UPS arrived 1 hour ago and got the phone. Now transfering all the data from the X to the 13 Pro Max. So far so good, but I like more the X's display than the 13PM tho.

Just curios why? My current phone is also the X.
 
Delivery attempted. Failed to deliver because no one was home. Boo!
UPS can put this down as an excuse, but never actually go near your house. This has happened to me before while I was at home the entire time, plus my security cameras. They will probably appear with it tmrw.

also note that above I said "mostly" regarding the signature requirement, it's possible that you have a driver that really wants a signature.
update us tmrw on what happens and I hope you get your new phone soon.
 
Well, the 13PM's screen looks yellower and less vibrant than the X's. This is with the auto-brightness and true tone turned off.
Well accept at night shift which gives you warmer yellow colors rather than bright blue my 13 is bright during day. I have both on. The screen looks much more brilliant. It asked me in transfer and setup and I told it to turn on the True Tone as I have always. Also if you have night shift on with your old phone and transferred the settings mine makes it yellower because the bright, True Tone is bright white blue and supposedly keeps one awake if you leave it that color. My nightshift goes sunset to sunrise. Make sure you have settings the same but try your 13 with both on and see if that looks better to you my 13 looks great but I had a 12 before and same settings. Not sure now what the X had for a screen and what it looked like with these on or off? Just some ideas.

Test stupid edit made a quote of my post…but wont let me delete the post either just ignore I hate it when the forums do that and I cannot delete such errors
 
My phone says it’ll be delivered tomorrow so I found a solution for the whole being out of town thing. Having my brother get the package for me and fedex overnight it to my hotel. I prepaid the label and it should be in my hands by 8am Friday
