Yes. You're being a Debbie Downer. Lol. No guarantees. As I said in earlier post, I hope for an arrival scan sometime overnight in Louisville, but if not I hope I'll get departure scan from Incheon in morning. I'd love to have it in may hands tomorrow, but I'll be happy to have it Friday. Right now I just want some certainty. Lol :);):p

I called automated system less than hour ago and still was told tomorrow. We'll see!

I'll be optimistic and say we are to Louisville by the AM. However, if we are still sitting in Korea and waiting to go to ANC after sitting 2 days in Korea its going to be sad. Keep in mind, the flight from ZZ to INC is only 1.5 hours. If this is truely what happened, the packages basically sat for 4 days only traveling 1.5 hours!! Apple still has me as deliver by the 23rd. UPS MyChoice tracker says tommorow. We should see by the AM.

There are three planes landing in Louisville within 15 minutes of each other in about 3.5 hours.

There are actually five planes landing in the span of about an hour - starting in about 2.5 hours!!!

CORRECTION: MAKE THAT SIX FLIGHTS!!!!!

Not sure why I put myself through this but I just called UPS again and got switched to Apple rep who said my iPhone is definitely in Korea. I asked how do you know for sure and her response was because that's what it says on my screen. I said then why does your automated system say I'm getting it tomorrow? I asked which of you is lying? She stuck to her story of it being held up in customs and UPS and Apple have no control over this. I said you want me to believe that the same shipment that was held for more than 36 hours in China miraculously also got held up on the next leg of its journey? I said nothing you say or have said makes any sense or is based in logic. I asked have you ever had a delivery that didn't get scanned on every leg of its journey? She said yes but it's rare. I said I've seen it many times. One day it shows it's on other side of country and next day it's at your door. I guess I just needed to vent on a UPS employee. Still have no idea what to believe. Think we won't know until 3 or 4 am what's what.

Wouldn't it be sad if Apple were holding the phones from moving on pourpose. Think about our original delivery dates from Apple. Mine was for the 23rd, but then UPS said the 21st. Maybe Apple wanted to make more sales by using the planes for deliveries to the stores. So maybe Apple has our phones sitting there while others not assigned to anyone move around the world to more customers. Basically taking us for granted since we have already shown that we can be treated like crap but will still buy their product. Apple needs its next customer. Think they are losing sight of the ones they have.
[doublepost=1474516165][/doublepost]The fact that we can't get any definitive information from Apple or UPS makes me think we aren't getting our phones. At least the ones still showing date waiting to be scheduled. Hope I'm wrong, but why would UPS make themselves look so bad by not knowing where their packages are at any moment? Isn't it more likely that Apple is forcing them to lie by transferring us to special Apple reps. This who,e thing just smells wrong. Never had a package move 150 miles in 4 days with 3 different dates, an exception and almost 24 hours of no delivery date or information about when one will happen.

Completely off topic, but I was watching Lethal Wepon. The one cop has an Apple Watch he keeps checking his heart rate with because he had a heart attack. During the first scenes he has it on his left hand. Then when they go check out the DOA, he has it on his right wrist. They switch views, and it is on his left wrist again! Right in the middle of the scene haha! Must have missed that in the editing room. Wouldn't have noticed if I wasn't checking out the Apple Watch haha

Apple has nothing to do with the delays on the phones that have already shipped. UPS has been having hold ups with customs in South Korea... Apple shipped out a lot of phones and they are getting them through customs and on a planes to Alaska as quickly as they can.... I was told I would likely still get mine Friday.

They also said to check my tracking in the morning and there would probably be an update.

I wish it was just Friday. I don't think I would even be mad if my iPhone 5S just shattered and blew up. Let me retire this thing!

I paid full price for my iPhone 7 Plus (256GB!), the charge has been out of my account since last Friday haha. Let me use it :p

Yours originated one day after me and mine is in Portland now. So if it has missed scans it is possible. But who knows!

Really a crap shoot at this point. A LOT of conflicting information. I am just outside Portland, OR and my phone is stuck in the China-Korea loop. Others have gotten scans etc. Many of us really aren't sure where our phones actually are at this point.

EDIT: Your's originated a day after me also and mine is apparently stuck in Korea still....
