I gave up on my Jet Black and bought a matte black 128GB today. 'Preorder' canceled...hopefully.
Got a tip for us?

Yesterday I talked to ups at night and they told me they would call and keep me posted regarding my 2 iPhones. One delivered today another that has arrival scan 8:01 at Korea apparently is on the UPS 99 that is about to land in 2 hours. Even though the phone didn't show departure he said it could be there. Hope it is!!
Headed to Anchorage! ICN ➔ ANC

Nobody knows for sure. We will know if the plane lands and people start getting 'arrival scan' updates in Alaska.
I'm hoping mine is included "ZhengZhou, China 09/21/2016 1:05 A.M. Arrival Scan".
EDIT: Sorry, I miscalculated the time. This plane should actually land in an hour and a half.
You and me both, hoping our batch just didn't get scanned in Korea.
Were you able to find one online with a reservation? I keep checking but I never ever find anything..
I don't care if my phone get to my tomorrow Friday or even Monday Just want UPS tracking to update!!!!!!!!!
I used Apple's website. Act like you're buying the phone, underneath is the hyperlink to check for local stock by zip code. I hit that site several times a day since Saturday. It showed up around 11pm.
Latest for me. Still shows stuck in Louisville. 2nd import scan? Latest text said I'm getting it tomorrow. Will believe it when I see it !

You'll definitely be getting your phone tomorrow!
A lot of these responses are strange to me. People are using the word "stuck" regarding their package and blaming UPS for all sorts of things.
People. If you're getting your phone before 10/04, it's early. Be happy.

Do you have any scans from Anchorage or does it go straight from Korea to Louisville?
We will see. It has gone back and forth about when I'm getting it. And hasn't moved since yesterday. I think it is waiting for you guys that got left in China to catch up!
Then"mechanical failure " was put in after arrival scans but shows before. Then this morning I got a delayed shipment text. Then a few hours ago got a text saying it IS coming. Tomorrow. I usually take an extra day due to location. Everything has been so random with this original batch that it is hard to believe anything you read!!
I DO feel a lot closer than those that are still getting same conflicting scans but still stuck in China. And especially for those still stuck in processing hell!
I am happy. However the phones are "stuck". They have been shipped and UPS is totally jacking everything up.
Yeah, we get that.
We are comparing the time to deliver to our door to the time UPS showed in the system as shipped. Regardless of the time Apple quoted us, UPS works in a systematic way that does not depend on the Apple quoted time.
If the phone is shipped and then does a whole bunch of weird things, and exceeds the normal time for that type of shipping service.. something has happened. It doesn't matter what Apple has promised.. the package is stuck when it does not behave like a normal package.
Apple has no control over UPS except for delaying the deliveries for launch. Once it leaves Apple's warehouse, the control is in UPS.
If UPS fails to perform as expected, you better believe we can "blame" UPS for the package being "stuck".
All that aside, it's fun to track the package obsessively. If it bothers you, go outside or something.
I did get scans in anchorage. Yesterday. Left about 4:20 I think Alaska time.
But I have heard some didn't get scanned in Anchorage. It seems to be hit or miss.
You might to want to check your data in the Google sheets database if you entered it. I may have accidentally entered in a couple of other people's rows by accident. Sorry!!!
