Saturday isn't a business day... so delayed by a business day when they had it on Friday would mean to me that you get it on Monday. It will be "In transit" the entire time from when it's picked up until you sign for it.
Got a tip for us?

I've set my phone up for SMS alerts on the UPS app. My phone went off saying it got scanned for departure at Dubai, went on the Sky Radar 24 app 10 mins later to find a plane taking off, and it was the same plane that took my iPhone from Shanghai to Dubai
There are honestly about 5 UPS planes on there way from Dubai to Cologne, mine is on flight UPS 5X21
The flight radar isn't working very well on the iPhone
. I would like to think I'm on one of these planes then The flight radar isn't working very well on the iPhone
Yeah it's not great, I paid £1.99 for the Pro version and it's really good
have you had a departure scan from Dubai yet?I don't remember seeing you here yesterday as I was on most day trying to tell people that I rang UPS in the morning and they said the phone was still in Korea and no chance of delivery Saturday, but they did say at the time Monday so this is why I am 50/50 as to which day is true.
Fair enough it's just as they said it would be delivered by the end of the day yesterday I started to get a bit worried. Anyway thanks that should calm me down until 9pm tomorrow lol

Yeah that's 7:10 local time as well so 3:10am our time, I think apple ship iPhones on pallets rather than individually so they only scan the ones they can see. Yours might have been in the middle of the pallet, it would have left Dubai by now.
Check your UPS Tracker in about 45 minutes and I reckon it would have changed and you'll have an Cologne arrival scan! There are 2 UPS flights in Germany which are going to land in the next half an hour.
Dilemma for me
What do you reckon guys.
The Carphone Warehouse in my town has a 128GB silver 6 in stock.
I could cancel my Space Grey 64GB 6 plus order and go for that.
I would cost me an extra £130 up front (£280) but would cost £8 less a month for the same deal. Thats a saving of £192 which covers off the extra cost of the upgrade.
Plus I have £45 credit on my account!
The plus would cost me £1194 total, the 6 would cost me £1087 total and I'd get double the storage!
I don't know what to do!

I see than you had 16GB before, so I have no real idea why would you need AND want 128gb.
I had 32GB iPhone 5s before, I didn't struggle to keep myself within those boundaries but I had some limitations. I knew this year I would go with 64GB for sure, but seeing that 6+ 128GB is £80 more than 64GB, I thought "why the hell not?"
It comes down to the screen size I think. Do you want to pay more for bigger screensize? No? Get the 6 then.

I'm the same as you, I "think" it is on UPS9, it stopped in Almaty for a couple of hours and is now very close to touching down in Warsaw. Perhaps the internet is down in Almaty and the system didn't update lol. Should get something in Warsaw if it's indeed on that flight!
It's 128GB because that is all they have! Although I do want this iPhone to be able to do everything to kind of take the need away from having my iPad. Which means the extra screen size could be handy.
Although then there is the trade off of having the 6 tomorrow and the 6+ in 2 weeks!

You know where it's heading?
hope the 11 hours-ish in Dubai isn't going to delay it
You know where it's heading?
Cologne.

Your phone is on flight UPS 5X1 which took off from Dubai at 3:12PM UK time
it gets to Cologne at 8:40PM UK time so expect a Arrival scan about 9/10PM tonight.Your phone is on flight UPS 5X1 which took off from Dubai at 3:12PM UK time
Oh thanks for looking
is it cologne>germany>UK? with my status being green I don't think its going to delay the tomorrows delivery even thought it's not quoting any delivery time/dayThere would be a pallet of phones and and a code on that pallet. The code on the pallet would encompass all the phones on the pallet so one scan of the pallet updates status's for all the phones in the pallet. No way do they scan any actual phones once they are moving - it would all have been entered into a system to set up a single bar code for the whole pallet.
Oh thanks for looking
Cologne is Germany
next stop is either Stansted Airport or West Midlands Airport depending on what part of the country you live in.Go onto the US UPS Site on your computer (Make sure it's the United States site), track it, then on the bottom left hand side in the contact bit you'll see an option that says 'Live Chat' click that and it'll tell you when it's going to be delivered?
Was going to sell my iPad and replace it with a 16GB wifi only just for streaming media at home
