I don't. I was asking my question to bacATapple since he or she said that his or her phone was just scanned in Anchorage.

Will answer when I can am at work
Was your phone one of those that UPS showed it was stuck in China at 11:30 last night with no movement since?

Yes.. Showed arrived in China at 11:30 pm. Then from there left ZZ at 4:38 pm. Arrived Incheon 7:53. Then had two departure scans from Incheon. One at 10:30 pm and one at 2:49 am. (All China time)
Arrived in anchorage this afternoon.

I don't know how mine made it through..hope the others are with it!

Sorry if this is a double post. Tried to post one at work and don't know if it went through.

I am thinking about switching delivery to pick up at a UPS store right next to my work. If I switch the delivery now(it shows shipped, still in China: eta Friday) will it delay the delivery? I have never switched delivery options before with UPS My choice. Thanks!
 
I'm starting to think Apples original email with Friday delivery had knowledge that UPS didn't. Not seeing any movement for this long makes me think something is amiss. Just hoping that the scan updates just haven't come in and our phones are on track for a Thursday. Feel like Apple and now UPS is messing with us. Not as much fun as years past.

Every year it's something. When the 6/6+ came out a bunch of us got stuck in customs in Louisville...that was frustrating but we all made our updated scheduled time

Yes it can delay it a day or two
 
Found this in my search. Ups does fly from ZhengZhou. No flight has left there recently and flight aware doesn't show one scheduled right now. Looks like one left today but not my phones I guess.
Ah maybe your phone and my phone are chillin. Mine has been sitting there since Monday morning.

I'm just waiting for it to slip further back.
Oh they really are together. I had a 9/22 day. Now 9/23. PLEASE don't slip to Monday. I beg for your mercy UPS.
 
Do you know for those of us with phones stranded by UPS in China last night, how our iPhones get to Incheon? I don't see any flights between the two. Also, if there are flights to Incheon from China, someone said the next flight leaves for Incheon at 4:xx a.m. something. True?

I'm so confused now, not even sure what I'm looking at. I'm giving up tracking flightaware until I get some updated UPS info smh.

I think something major is going on. This isn't a minor customs thing. But then again I do enjoy a good conspiracy. If they haven't moved by the morning I'm making some phone calls.
 
Yea, I go out to town on Sunday for a week in Vegas for work. Really hoping I can take my new phone with me. :) Fingers crossed!
Hopefully it doesn't come to this, but I just noted that when you click Delivery Change, UPS gives you the choice to have it delivered to another address. Not sure if that helps you, how that works, or if you're interested, but thought I'd mention it. Hopefully you have your phone before Vegas so it won't matter.
 
How do I have my phone held at the local hub center so I can pick it up? And how can I figure out where my local hub is? I'm not sure where it is in my city lol

Thanks, Miles! Yea, that's always an option. Originally it was slated to come tomorrow. Now it's supposed to come Thursday and Apple originally said it was coming on Friday. lol So hopefully I won't have to make any sort of decision and it will magically arrive before I leave. :D That'd be nice. But perhaps this would be an option.

Go to Delivery Change at UPS site/app and follow prompts.

Same

I have exact times and dates as you, except for the very first scan. Its off by minutes, except my scan includes the incheon arrival. I believe all of our scans are lagged a bit.
When did your Incheon scan show up so you could see it?
 
I have an update scan that shows my phone leaving Anchorage a little after 4pm.. I can post a picture but guess I'm doing it wrong. If someone wants to see whole progression and can tell me how I would be happy to.

Well the 9/19/2016 dates match up with mine. But I have nothing since ZhengZhou in my history. I can't see them missing that many scans but man I hope so.

My times match yours almost exactly (within minutes and 11:30 arrival). But I'm still sitting in China (according to UPS).

This matches up with mine except for Anchorage, shows it's still in Korea
 
Has anyone talk to a UPS customer rep? I've had packages move from one location to the next and not see it on UPS app or website. I had to call UPS to ask for more info. They were able to give me more details. Sometimes the system may not update to show a departure or arrival. I will call in the morning if nothing changes.

I do remember reading in the forums here last week that this Monday the 19th, was going to be a mess for ups. It was said that someone screwed up big time in China and Monday was going to be a nightmare. Supposedly this came from a reliable source from what I remember. I couldn't find the post to look at it again. So maybe they just missed a ton of scans. Guess we will find out in about 12 hours or less.

Is there anyone else with a phone shipping via FedEx? I'm also in the 10/4-10 group. Moved into PFS and shipped at the same time as most in this thread, but mine is coming via FedEx. According to Apple and FedEx tracking, it is en route from Shanghai and on track to deliver Thursday morning. I normally wouldn't obsess...but it seems so odd that everyone else's phones are shipping with UPS. The phone is coming to NYC. Anyone else out there??
