I think from previous launches their systems are always a state. As hard as it is maybe stop refreshing and give it a bit of time to get worked out.
It may still come today !
Hope you’re right. Would seem madness for it to sit in a sorting facility for 3 days, when it’s only a couple of miles from where I live!
I’ve been following the UPS saga closely and had given up hope for delivery today, but it turns out it’ll be arriving at my home in Edinburgh today after all!

Not that I’ve ever heard of. At least yours is out for delivery unlike several disappointed souls around here (and elsewhere no doubt).
You say that like I have some modicum of self control
DHL update. Mine is at Heathrow, I’m 30 minutes from there. I called DHL and asked them if it is possible to go there any pickup the parcel directly, they guy said your parcel,is loaded on a van and will arrive today 🤞🏻 But it is possible to go there and pickup. So just call DHL and cancel with them
That’s amazingly quick bearing in mind your location. UPS must have got it straight onto an Edinburgh flight from East Midlands. Good stuff!
That sounds positive! Thanks for that. It’s a shame their external tracking system is less comprehensive than the one they use internally.
I know the temptation is huge however I wouldn’t recommend messing around with anything yet.
@Jinjin will probably agree that every year on the iPhone thread people panic and change deliveries etc etc and it ends up being delayed. Unless you absolutely have to let them deliver it

Just got a text from DHL: out for delivery today 
It makes the unboxing and setting up that much sweeter.
My father always used to say “Everything comes to he who waits.” He also used to say that I always wanted everything ‘yesterday’. How right he was. 😉
I’m a 2hr 20min drive from East Midlands airport (next to Castle Donnington facility). I don’t understand this - it would drive here, not fly?
There are no flights from EMA to anywhere near me. The nearest would be if it flys up to Edinburgh, but that’s further away than EMA from me!
Any ideas? 😕
Edit: I see @stevierar has had delivery for today confirmed; his was trucked down to Southampton.
I’m guessing this ‘flight’ delay might be a truck issue? Is everyone else seeing this message based anywhere near the North East / Newcastle / Leeds?

It looks like mine is out for delivery on the original delivery date, I'm quite impressed considering all the delays (mine was caught up in Shanghai when the plane broke). This was UPS, left Castle Donington at 4:09am, must have trucked down to Southampton, and is now out for delivery in the morning in Bournemouth.
My ears are now super-sensitive to anything sounding slightly like a van outside.

Awesome. Did UPS initially update your delivery until Monday? Still hoping against hope I’m going to see mine in London somehow.
That's right, it was changed to Monday and only snapped back to today earlier this morning (I woke up around 4am and naturally the first thing I did was check the tracking).
One thing to note, that might be encouraging, is my UPS tracking went straight from leaving Castle Donington to being out for delivery. No arrival scans at Southampton:

Good luck!
Isn’t the delayed flight referring to the problem with the UPS 747 in Korea the other day? The flight was cancelled and therefore the cargo had to be transferred onto a later flight. Hence ‘delayed’.
If you live less than a two and a half hour road journey from Castle Donnington I imagine that it will be transported in a truck.
This has been one stressful week lol, with the delays, not hearing anything for 3 days, not knowing if they were able to deliver today until the last minutes lol.
It’s been awesome to chat to some of you and tracking flights half way around the world.
