Roll call - Oct. 4th - Oct. 10th original ship date

got my tracking info sent over this morning to be shipped friday. I decided to have it held at the local ups store. I already picked up one with a reservation yesterday, so i just plan on returning this one when it arrives, unless anyone knows someone who is willing to pay the $1,100 for it, id gladly send it over to them upon payment.
 
Anyone with 7+, AT&T, 128gb, Jet Black that has shipped? If so, when was your order confirm? Mine was at :12 and still sitting in PFS with Charge since Fri night.

I believe others have said that you don't want to have it held at a UPS store because it will take an extra day to get it. Better to have it held at an UPS shipping center, I believe? Anyone, am I correct?

Mystery solved... I looked up "FedEx International Priority DirectDistribution" and found this definition for their website. Looks like a small batch of phones that will be split up stateside. Weird.

FedEx International Priority DirectDistribution®
FedEx International Priority DirectDistribution is a contractual service that allows you to send multiple pieces from a single origin country location to multiple recipients in a single destination country. The packages are cleared through customs as a single shipment.


In addition, FedEx International Priority DirectDistribution offers delivery to European Union countries through FedEx International Priority DirectDistribution® Single Point of Clearance (SPOC). This service allows you to send multiple packages from a single origin country location to multiple recipients in multiple destination countries in the European Union via single point of clearance at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. The packages are cleared through customs as a single shipment entry.

It could also be a batch of cases, which I think is more likely since iPhones always ship to USA via UPS.

That's correct. You want it held at a UPS CC (Customer Center) because that's where the phone gets to first. If you choose a regular UPS store, it still needs to be delivered there after it his the CC.

I got mine ordered at XX:13 due to me entering the wrong security code for my card. I'm still stuck on PFS, no tracking on UPS available by reference or on UPS choice

Well, it looks like most of today's shipping notifications have gone out since there are no more (to my knowledge) flights from Asia today. So hopefully mine ships tomorrow morning.

I think the reason ours didn't ship out is because ours is iPhone 7 plus 128g JB.
 
MY 128gb matte black just shipped!! Will be here by 9/21 via UPS. The weight of the package says 0.50kgs though. Should I be worried?
 
My UPS updated to now deliver Wednesday 21st instead of the 23rd like Apple email said. Only thing is I just had wrist surgery and am going to be out for a few hours getting stitches out and cast put on (fingers will be free to play with iPhone). Now do I pre-sign and take my chances or hope it comes when I'm home? If I pre-sign can I require the package left in front of my door in my building, rather than in lobby? Getting excited!!!

If you have it held at your closest UPS drop point or whatever it's called and you do it before it's out for delivery, they will just drop it off there the same day you are supposed to get it. Atleast that is my experience with the process (do it almost every time I have UPS deliveries)

Weird, when I pull that up, the chart only shows 2 flights, but the graphic shows 3 other flights in the air heading to Alaska. Wonder if those have some phones on it.

The same for me and my cc still has a pending charge. I have not ever seen so many go to "PFS" for so many days. A new strategy to try to make us feel like things are going along fine or to keep the cancels down?

I just decided to check UPS site (which never works for me usually) with my phone number.......

It says my phone is in ZhengZhou with a delivery by the end of the day on the 22nd!!!

I have not received an email from Apple and my cc is still pending!!

There is the ability I believe to request (for $8) thru UPS a two-hour confirmed window when they will deliver it.
 
Funny how UPS app shows my delivery is coming on Wednesday the 21st, but the UPS website doesn't have a date at all, and Apple's email showed delivery of Friday the 23rd. I'll go with UPS My Choice date of Wednesday. Lol. Hope everyone else gets their shipping emails soon, so they can move on to the check UPS for updates every 5-10 minutes. Lol
