Stuck in ZhengZhou, China....

[iThink Apple]

Hello all!

So my iPhone X has been stuck in ZhengZhou, China for 3 days now...Is that normal? Is UPS holding them there?

 

[lordhamster]

This is normal.

BTW... CGO is an awesome town. Your iPhone is busy eating Yang Rou Chuan.

i noticed the same thing about both of our phones.... and no... i don't remember this happening other years (except with my phone during typhoon-gate last year!) of course.... none of my phones have ever "shipped" so soon after ordering either.... in past years they didn't ship until around this time (a few days prior to delivery).

 

[RyCan3]

This happens every year. It is only Tuesday. The phones will see movement in the next 12 hours.

 

[Technarchy]

Normal. Devices should start moving today or tomorrow.

 

[MacTechnics]

Normal. Normal. Normal.

I remember the typhoon...and my phone STILL got here on launch day.

 

[iThink Apple]

Last year my iPhone 7 went back and forth and even got delayed to Saturday....At first UPS said that it would be delivered on Monday but then Apple got in touch with UPS and said to make sure you delivered those iPhones on Saturday.

This happened with my iPhone 7 too, I think it was there until 1-2 days before it was supposed to arrive.

My two Phones are also stuck there and has we get closer to Friday I’m getting more and more unease about it not moving

What if our phones are in a huge semi and it got lost? Stolen? Forgotten? Things that I think about. I was thinking that by today we should start seeing movement but nada

You...

continue using your current phone for a day or two.

Shock horror.

Happened last year with my 7 Plus.
iPhones all sitting together on shipping containers, 100s of thousands of em. Will be loaded onboard cargo aircraft departing for Alaska very soon. All part of JIT, Just in Time delivery used by all manufacturers and delivery companies.

It's normal.

This is the exact reason why Trump wants these factories back stateside!

MURICA FIRST!

Then you'd be paying $1500 for the phone. Unfortunate but true.

Same here mine is there. but UPS does work wonders.

just got a departure scan from ZhengZhou!!!!! bye bye china hello Alaska!!!!

 

[RobinInOR]

Normal. Probably still on some large pallets waiting to be broken apart and scanned. To get here by Friday they need to leave KY Wednesday night or sometime Thursday, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there isn’t any movement today.

And of course just as I hit post it got the departure scan as well. Yay!

that is not normal. you should call UPS to inquire why the shipment is not moving. and ask UPS if you can pick up the phone in person at ZhengZhou, China

 

[LD Curb]

My tracking looks exactly like yours..... Even the arrival time is the same!

 

[ideal.dreams]

Looks like my iPhone has departed ZhengZhou about an hour ago. Not sure where it's heading next.

It is not stuck. It's waiting for loading. Apple does not ship until needed. Else, they would have to pay for storage in the USA.
