I'm seeing a pattern, I see a lot PFS, and being there a lot of hours, also seeing a lot (including mine) waiting flights on ZhengZhou. I think the PFS phone are just waiting so that UPS can move the ones that have been in ZhengZhou for longer time before officially shipping new ones and as they load them on the plane they hand more over to UPS.

I’ve been charged (tax), and UPS has a label printed. 128gb black 7+ on Verizon. PFS from Apple. Not on the plane, I don’t think, but hopefully tonight’s/tomorrow’s?

Um: guys. I still have no confirmed shipping from Apple, still just at “PFS” stage. But. I just checked UPS, and supposedly my phone is in Harrisburg, PA! Which maybe means tomorrow or Wednesday for me in DC! No delivery date, but I’m trusting the UPS gods now!

By the way, I know it’s totally not fair, because some folks purchased way earlier than me (my confirmation email was at 6:12 EDT/ 3:13 PDT), but I’m sorry, I’m just thrilled. I hope everyone gets more movement!


EDIT: Was wrong. It’s a charger, not the phone. Mea culpa.

also I have a friend that has her phone since sunday waiting for flight on ZhengZhou and had delivery date 20th. It's still in ZhengZhou and on the website still shoes the 20th, the ups app shows 21st (updated) seems hers couldn't fit on the last flight.

Are you sure that's your phone? Surprised that the service is 2nd Day Air instead of Worldwide Express Saver... Did it originate in China, and is showing as from AI?

Yeah, it will go to Incheon tonight, and them to Anchorage and Louisville tomorrow.

Agreed. You can only push so many flights out of ZhengZhou per 24hr period. Most large (748) type freighters while able to cay 300,000 7's are loaded with roughly 100,000, and other freight. In Q4 Apple will likely contract 5% of all Trans Pacific Transport. Quite Mind Bending. Blame Airbus for canceling the A380-F. ;)

What's the weights and what's the origin?

Aaaand, I’m just realizing that it’s not my phone. I searched using my phone number, so of course it showed up, but I also ordered a watch charger, and THAT’S what that is. I’ll add a note to my post. :/ Oops.
 
Just as general information for everyone else, here're the times for everything in my order so far:
XX:12 Pre order
XX:14 Confirmation from Apple
X1:24 Citizen One Loan Approval
9/17 around 12:00 AM moved to processing
9/17 pending charge added to CC
9/19 8:58 AM MST email of shipment
9/19 10:30 AM MST references added to shipment
9/22 expected delivery date
This is for the Jet Black 7 Plus, 128 GB AT&T through the iPhone upgrade program
