Why is this news? Pretty sure UPS just organizes the shipment updates by the local time, and this apparent shuffling is just happening because of time zones and the international date line…
Got a tip for us?

I got too annoyed with the shipping debacle and decided to check the Apple Store app and saw local stores had the exact phone I ordered. So I ordered one there and am picking it up at my local Apple Store in the morning. I'll send that other sucker back once it finally arrives!
Originally it was "guaranteed" delivery on the 22nd. Then it became the 23rd. Now it's unavailable lol. Yeah not putting up with this!
At this point it's just funny to watch it all unfold. Popcorn is popping!

I have the same notice.

I had the same notice.
Got the same damn thing. No severe weather, finally departed and its now at Hong Kong. Will it really arrive 9/23 like it said previously?
Yeah, mine left Korea for the opposite direction too. Unless UPS does customs paperwork in Hong Kong, I'm not sure why they'd do this. Whoever does the 'special logistics' for Apple from UPS needs to be disciplined....
After my iPhone 7 plus was stuck in Incheon, Korea due to the "mechanical failure" for a day, I just got an update stating:
"Your package was released by the clearing agency"
"Clearance complete."
Anyone else get this? Is it finally on its way to states? or has it been here in the states and just got cleared by customs?

As of this morning - 9/23/2016 - 6:00 a.m. EDT - UPS is sending out texts saying "May be delayed due to adverse conditions" and the web site is showing
Whole lotta' NOTHING UPS! You guys should spend some of your PROFITS to upgrade your backend IT Operations and get some more resources so you can meet your obligations!
But - What do I know?

The flight UPS6099 got delayed, but another flight just left ICN to PANC. Even though UPS tracking information has an Arrival Scan at Hong Kong, there is not UPS flight from ICN to Hong Kong...

Oh the joy of incompetent UPS people. I was supposed to get my watches today and it stated it was "out for delivery" when I get the message "The shipment have been redirected ... ". I call them and they got "I don't know what I can say about this delivery, but you will not get it today". Needless to say I told them it's shocking that they can be so incompetent that they fail at their only job.
Why do Apple even hire these clowns, they have messed up every delivery I ever had with them.

Let's hope the phones are on this flight. I got the same clearance cleared notification and delay message this morning.
Looks like mine just left HKG.
Fingers crossed that, as mentioned upthread, UPS will deliver it tomorrow (Saturday).
Apple is still telling me it will delivery today (23rd) but I doubt it.

Same exact thing happened to me... China > Korea (delayed due to weather...) > Hong Kong > departed, who knows where it's going next
It is going to Anchorage, and then on to Louisville. Then on to wherever you are, most likely.

Hopefully everyone that had their package depart from Hong Kong will follow the path of this guy's iPhone (see his screenshot)
If it does, Anchorage by 1pm local, Louisville by midnight local, at our doors by tomorrow (if Apple and UPS aren't lying -again- to poster above).

An increasing number of customers who ordered the iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus have noticed irregular movement on their shipments, as confirmed by multiple tipsters who have contacted us. The peculiar UPS tracking information has also been documented by several Twitter and Reddit users.
MacRumors reader Daniel G., for example, has seemingly seen his iPhone 7 Plus order move between Shanghai, China and Anchorage, Alaska, only to end up back in China. The shipment even made a brief stop in Osaka, Japan, before heading to Louisville, Kentucky en route to Long Island City in Queens.Other MacRumors readers said likewise in discussion topics titled "My iPhone is on a travel adventure" and "Waiting for UPS."
Reddit user AlphaAnger, too, shared a nearly identical scenario:Twitter user Minton, who shared the UPS tracking information pictured above, has seen his iPhone order travel from Zhengzhou, China to Incheon, South Korea to Louisville, Kentucky, at which point it was seemingly sent back to Hong Kong. The entire movement took place within a span of just three days.
Minton is not alone, as several Twitter users have noticed similarly irregular movement on their iPhone orders this week.
In some cases, shipments have moved between the U.S. and Asia in only a few hours, which is unrealistic even when accounting for time zone differences. UPS has allegedly told some customers the irregular movement is related to paperwork, but weather and mechanical issues could also be involved.
Whatever the underlying reason may be, the issue appears to be slowing down iPhone deliveries for at least some customers in the United States. Some customers on Twitter have complained that their new iPhone is "stuck in Korea," while others have vented their frustrations towards UPS's customer service account.

Yes! My 7+ just left Hong Kong, hopefully to Anchorage. If anyone wants to see current UPS flights I found this site with a live feed

I'm just hoping it will get to me by today. Does anyone have any idea what has been happening in the past couple of days?
(EDIT) Does UPS deliver on Saturdays?
