Oh ok that makes sense! My friend just mentioned a plane crash was on the news and my heart skipped a beat. Turns out it was unrelated...

Wow, you must be so relieved!!! **** the humans, at least your phone wont be delayed :)
 
I'd love to be proved wrong, but I don't see how we can be on the Dubai flight because that departed Hong Kong at 11:40 local time whereas our departure scans are about 20 minutes later than that. Or are the timestamps on UPS's tracking sometimes delayed?

yes, that happens from time to time.
BUT, if its not this flight then definitely ups1, which is also in the air at the moment and en route to cologne :) so either way, the phones will get to cologne today!

Hmmm these have also been my thoughts...

It's landed :) So if the cargo is staying on until Koln, does that mean it won't get scanned in and out?

Can view it taxiing right now, it will probably offload some cargo then put some more on, before it takes off again. But our phones should have an arrival scan and then a departure scan at some point in the next couple of hours :)

EDIT - looks like it is at the gate now....

Apple has quoted delivery to me on Wednesday 9th October. The free "postage app" from the App Store quotes delivery by Monday 7th October.

Anybody else get this?

Yep same here, and for other people too. If you plug your tracking number into UPS, it says the 7th also
 
Two 16GB gold ordered the morning of the 20th, and just about an hour ago the status finally changed to "Preparing for Dispatch".
