My Pro Max left Anchorage yesterday, early, and that is the last status.

Now seeing unconfirmed reports that the plane has disappeared and has reportedly gone back in time like in that Twilight Zone episode (“The Odyssey of Flight 33“) where they crack the time barrier and as they descend, spot a Brontosaurus, down where NY city used to be. They are currently trying to recrack the time barrier and make it back to 2020 Kentucky, rather than say, 1933 NY.
Mine is missing with yours, was afraid it will turnout like the series I saw not to long ago where the plane lands 10 years later but no one aged. Least our phones would still be new lol.

I ordered my wife's phone on Sunday and apple said it was still set to come on the 13th. Hers is in ZhengZhou as of 11/09 8:00pm and hasn't moved in two days. Any reason to think it won't be here Friday? Or is this par for the course?
 
Still 12:24AM departure from Alaska.
Yep. I hope they have enough fuel for such a long flight :) Seriously, ours must be in Louisville already, just haven’t been scanned through customs yet. They don’t scan them as they arrive. They scan them in batches.

I checked several flights and none of them add up to the 02:34 departure time.
I’m just waiting for an arrival scan at Louisville now.

I’m trying to find the flight we are on as well. This should be my last flight as UPS usually travels by ground overnight to my hub in Landover, Maryland once it departs Louisville. It’s about a 9 hour 15 minute drive.

Yea I think those who departed on 11/10/20 with the 12:24 am scan is already in Louisville. I think people know that those are the phones therefore they won't touch them till Thursday.

My 12 Pro was like this too if you see below. Seems like it stayed in the air for couple of days o_O. No arrival scan and on 10/22/20, the infamous import scan. Not too worried, we will get import scans tomorrow for the 12 Pro Max~

I’m still debating if I want my phone held at the hub or let UPS deliver it to my home. I usually get UPS deliveries before 2pm. Maybe I’ll have it held at the hub so I can get it at 10am.

9:20 Gang here... mine is still suck in ZhengZhou(CGO)
There is still a chance that it will leave later tonight. Those who left ZZ already departed Alaska early this morning. So if it leaves ZZ later tonight, it will make it to Louisville tomorrow and still get import scan on the same day.

Sometimes I get it. it's fun to stalk the truck. But normally I always request a UPS CC pick up because I work (I don't typically take off work just for a phone XD). Even if I let the driver let it deliver to my home. Sometimes he's in my same route for my work and my home so sometimes he just brings it to me at work. But this time I requested it at the UPS Store for the heck of it.
 
I would only worry if it’s Friday morning around 10am and you don’t see any updates. Many previous launches they had phones in China Thursday evening that delivered Friday morning.

I’m going to call and see if I can have it held at the hub. I rather have it at 10am vs 2pm or later. I’ll go ahead and take the 35 minute drive.

Not a bad idea. Not sure why the website took away the UPS CC but yea phone them and request it that way. More time to play with it too.
