An increasing number of customers who ordered the iPhone 7 (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-7/) or iPhone 7 Plus have **ticed 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 (https://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/processRequest?TypeOfInquiryNumber=T&InquiryNumber1=1ZE08R210440852600) 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.My iPhone got stuck in China, was sent to Alaska, sent back to China, and is **w in Japan. I called Apple and they **ted I am one of several who has called about this issue. I placed my order on September 11th. Original shipping estimate said the 27th to the 29th. This was soon changed to September 19th, and then 20th. Once it was delayed, it said shipping date unk**wn. Apple said they would look into it and call me back.Other MacRumors readers said likewise in discussion topics titled "My iPhone is on a travel adventure (http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/my-iphone-is-on-a-travel-adventure-shipping-woes.1999726/)" and "Waiting for UPS (http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/waiting-for-ups.1999790/)."
Reddit user AlphaAnger, too, shared a nearly identical scenario (https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/53z14j/iphone_7_shipping_mystery/):I preordered the iPhone 7 from the Apple website and it shipped out at the beginning of the week. Anyone else's iPhone just taking a tour of China and Korea? My UPS says it just keeps going back and forth between Korea and China with ** estimated ship date.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.My iPhone went from China -> Korea -> United States -> Hong Kong? That doesn't seem right. @UPS (https://twitter.com/UPS) @Apple (https://twitter.com/Apple) pic.twitter.com/1CdS4290S2 (https://t.co/1CdS4290S2)

Seems inefficient. pic.twitter.com/r7PaDlZwga (https://t.co/r7PaDlZwga)

— Charlie K. (@callmesailor) September 21, 2016 (https://twitter.com/callmesailor/status/778722731227357184)In some cases, orders have bounced between the U.S. and Asian countries in only a few hours, suggesting it is unlikely that actual iPhones are traveling back and forth across the world. UPS has allegedly told some customers the irregular movement is related to paperwork, but the situation is **t entirely clear.
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.
