Anyone else with an estimated delivery date of Thursday stuck in Zhengzhou? I was really hoping that UPS would deliver on Wednesday and surprise me... looks like it won't. I've now about 11 hours for my iPhone to move from Zhengzhou to Incheon, Korea. From those who have already gotten shipped to Anchorage or Louisville (you lucky ducks, you), did the Origin Scan for Korea come much later than the one in Zhengzhou?

Ordered at :05 on opening night. Gold iPhone, 16 GB CDMA.

Remember, when flying from China to the US, you cross the dateline... so if it ships Tuesday AM, (it's 9 am in China), it actually arrives at about 1am the same day into Anchorage, or 4 am into Louisville, etc.... so there's plenty of time to make thursday. I'd even bet if you see movement on a US-bound flight in the next 18 hours that it'll make it to you Wednesday. It's only a 12 hour flight from China to the East Coast distrib hub, and they'll likely clear customs in flight, then go right into overnight sort, so Tuesday is very possible for you still. :)
 
Mine is stuck there too. Ordered 12:03AM. Delivery date this friday but UPS says this Thursday. I'm trying to cancel it right now to pick it up in store.
 
Thanks all for the help! I'm really hoping for Wednesday. Meanwhile, I gotta stop refreshing this tracking page and get on with my life :D
 
Sum extent of what mine says (delivers Wednesday):

ZhengZhou, China 09/23/2013 6:00 P.M. Arrival Scan
09/23/2013 5:30 P.M. Departure Scan
09/23/2013 1:11 A.M. Origin Scan
China 09/23/2013 4:53 A.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS

With 4.5 million packages delivered a day, some don't get scanned.

Actually they are all scanned without a miss. They are originally scan by computer ( no human involved). They are scanned into a unit of one container which contain many iPhones. When moved from place to place that unit is scanned and that scan covers all units in that container, that's why you will notice that everyone has the same scan times until the iPhone gets to their delivery location.

FYI its pointless, as our plane will be leaving at 5 am EST or so. So it'll be a while before theres anything new there.

Not to say I'm not just in case lol.
 
Mine is stuck in china aswell, delivery date of thursday to LA. 16gb gold att. Im guessing it wont be updated until like 3am in LA so hopefully it is moving just not updated yet.

Kinda suck that you have to paid $10 extra to have it deliver on wed, because I did not pay $10 and I still get it on wed tohouston tx as well tmobile unlocked 16gb gold. I ordered it sametimes as you.

On the other hand 2-3 minutes after my order was placed I placed my dads order and he got 7-10 days ship :eek: :confused: oh well he is in no rush like us I guess haha.
 
I live in NYC, my Silver 64GB Verizon phone has been in China all day, and UPS tells me I'll have it by end-of-day on Wednesday :)
