Nor am I Haha what is the weight on yours?

Looks like .6 lbs. :) Perhaps they're sending you a MacBook Pro as a consolation for waiting. :)

I really hope from Anchorage my phone changes planes and goes to Ontario for west coasters as I see two ups flights coming out of there today. Would make sense as to why I'm in the later departure scans (maybe added on the plane last in order to be easily moved when it arrives in Anchorage). Here's to hoping lol!
 
In US airspace!!!! :)
Can you post the link to our flight from HK on
I just googled "UPS Customer Center" -land your city. it listed contact info and hours right there on the google results page
Also, if you go to Change Delivery on your UPS tracking page and click it then double click Pickup my package at a UPS location, it will provide you UPS locations near you.
 
How do figure that when it's the tracking number that Apple gave me?

Simple. iPhones do not weigh 9 pounds. They are at most 1.5 pounds, if that, shipping weight. Also, the phones are coming from China. Shipments do not originate from "Ontario, CA".

Now, a question for you: what else might you have purchased from Apple?

This is what an iPhone shipment looks like:

I had tried that originally but couldn't get any hours. Google is just faster anyway :)

Mine also shipped from Ontario, CA. I agree we're in the vast minority, but I can assure you, the iPhone 7 is the only thing I ordered from Apple.

I will say mine has a shipping weight of .6 lbs, but it still originated out of Ontario.
 
Anyone know if there are any flights headed from Anchorage to JFK - NY? Or does it have to go to Kentucky first?

I realize they do not weigh that much as I have pre-order previous iphone, hence why I asked. I have not ordered anything else from Apple and that is the tracking number they gave me specifically for my phone.....
 
Here's a 3rd reason: The jet black phone scratches so easily they don't want people to see how scratched up the display phones get.
Only reason I didn't list that is because Apple already put up a disclaimer about the scuffing/scratching issue. So unless they're holding back shipping the jet black phones is to further protect them, I wouldn't think it's a reason.
 
The only reason I am holding onto a sliver of hope that it could deliver Saturday is that at this point there's no reason that the scheduled delivery information wouldn't be available. It obviously isn't going to get here today but Monday is an easy bet and I assume they would update it with that Monday date unless there was a chance it would deliver tomorrow.

I don't know, maybe I'm delusional at this point.

Agreed! I'm in Oregon! Don't take us to Louisville!;)
 
Mine hit AK as well, 10:41 am. Getting it delivered to the office though so even if they do Saturday deliveries, no one will be here and they will try on Monday. That is acceptable.
 
AT least they are honest now, I asked if the CC near me is open on weekends However since I'm in the 2:25 Departure Scan group, ill be expecting it Monday:

Katherine M.: I show that this location doesnt open on weekends, but due to your shipment is coming from Apple there is a chance that if it arrives on time it may be delivered tomorrow. It seems that all Apple packages have encountered a delay in transit due to mechanical issues we had but we were able to work on that and the package left the warehouse and now in transit.

Mine has been PFS since Saturday. I have already purchased a Matte Black, so Apple has this order set to re-route back to them as soon as the order ships...hopefully.

I'm glad I switched from JB. The whole 'finger print magnet' and 'micro' scratches would've bothered me to no end.

Good luck everyone!!!

I hope this is true, even if not for my personal sake. Just waiting on that departure scan from Anchorage and then i'll hope for a delivery tomorrow.
