UPS better get an estimate on how much it will cost them to resolve these "mechanical failures". Seems they are happening all over.
Got a tip for us?

8:01PM forever...
I wish they'd have just said 2-3 weeks and meant it instead of getting my hopes up with "Your phone has shipped" on Monday morning 4 days ago. :/

Is it just me, or does that sound like a load of BS?
This whole fiasco reminds me of the movie Wargames where "Joshua" makes up a nuclear war attack to try and trick NORAD into launch the nuclear arsenal:
Stephen Falken: Uh, uh, General, what you see on these screens up here is a fantasy; a computer-enhanced hallucination. Those blips are not real missiles. They're phantoms.
McKittrick: [McKittrick approaches Beringer] Jack, there's nothing to indicate a simulation at all. Everything is working perfectly!
Stephen Falken: But does it make any sense?
General Beringer: Does what make any sense?
Stephen Falken: [points to the screens] That!

At this point I'm convinced all Apple and UPS customer reps are pulling prewritten responses from a hat and are regurgitating them to customers just to pacify them. Fact of the matter is, they don't give a damn when your phone will get to you, just know that it will come when it comes. If my phone moved a little bit closer to me every time I've heard UPS reference "Apple's Operating Plans" the godforsaken thing would be here by now.
This pre-order really went to hell in a hurry.
Im sure mine will change eventually but right now my tracking still shows its back in China nothing about Incheon with a mechanical failure
Just got a email from UPS. They said they a mechanical failure has delayed my delivery.
Still in Korea

GRRR!! My local Apple Store had a Matt Black 128 in stock,By the time I got to the reserve screen it was already gone..............
same here. but i also got a text from UPS that my package may be delayed due to adverse conditions. WTF! Go figure. 2 different stories
Mechanical failure for 2 days? Mines been in Korea since the 21st (tomorrow will be the second day since it won't move today). Load the phones onto a different plane!! This sounds fishy to me.
My apple account change to show a delivery of September 26th. UPS says delivery information is not available.
So I just had a chat with an Apple CSR and I was told that all of the iPhones slated for 9/23 should get to their destination o 9/23. I'm crossing my fingers this is true, but I believe this is the one Apple CSR who finally hit us with a very ugly truth when she told me the following:

What else would they say to all the people calling in?
I don't get the repeated chats, calls, etc. They're not going to hasten a logistical hold up. How many times can you ask before that's obvious?
I am still showing 9/23 on Apple. Yeah, the Korea thing is crazy. UPS has had most of us in Korea for the last 2 days, and China for 2 days starting on Monday. It does not match any logical reason. Apple is starting to show the wizard behind the curtains and I see it revealed tomorrow with an Out for Delivery.
I didn't order this year, but I've been following this thread intently as my best friend's JB 7 128 is stuck in the 8:01 group. Seeing this on the front page today made me wonder if Apple is bumping pre-orders off planes to prioritize store deliveries. That would jive with UPS saying the delay is because of "Apple's operating plans."
Somebody should start a spreadsheet of every excuse used to date
Side note. Using one of these may offer more accurate results.

basically they take us as "we're stupid". **** UPS! i would have more respect if they just come out and say, WE F'd UP". Simple!

A friend of mine was upgrading from his iPhone last year and couldn't order online when the store went live for preorders at midnight. He called them and they told him they'd try to locate a 128gb phone for him to come into the store and upgrade. Some times goes by and he notices a 256gb is available so he goes in and gets that one instead last week. Then last night he gets an email that says they have a 128gb for him ready to go today. Just needs to come get it.
I preordered just after midnight on preorder night. He said I could go in and try to get his phone instead of waiting for mine. I don't think they'll allow that though sadly. I leave on Sunday for my trip to Vegas and am super bummed I won't have my new phone. And even more then that I'll have to figure out what to do about the delivery because no one will be here to sign for it.
Sucks.
