Yes, but UPS doesn’t work for US Customs. Doesn’t matter, they will all start moving and a ton of scanning will happen tomorrow. UPS also likes to hide a bunch of scans after AK

Got it. I read too quickly and thought you were referring to movement in general. My husband’s off today as well.
 
Absolutely! They are tech geniuses (I am not) but not a lot of warmth.

I’m learning a lot over there 👉🏻
But mostly I’m getting headaches with so much info I know not what to do with 🤣🤣

Lots of devs, engineers, and pro creatives so they are looking for certain features and functionality for their workflow and are coming from that perspective. Not a lot of patience if you barely know how to turn on your laptop. I get it because that’s my professional world, but yeeaaaaaa, 😂😂 Good luck! I’ll pop over there for M1 MBA/MBP impressions soon!

Math problem potentially solved:
There is a 4 hour time difference from Anchorage and Kentucky.

If a UPS flight leaves anchorage at 2:34 AM and takes about 5.5 to get to louisville, what time will it get there in eastern time? (the other UPS flights are taking about that time)

Answer: They should arrive in kentucky at about 8:00 am anchorage time, aka 12:00 PM today eastern time.

Hope this is accurate and makes sense?
Well, one of our phones left Monday morning from Anchorage and is still in the air. The other is on the 2:00am flight last night. So don't count on last night's flight to land on time either.

Well for anyone wondering what ETA's are for a PB Pro Max/256GB its 12/4 to 12/11. Finally was able to order after meeting the ATT new account requirement of 90 days. Maybe i'll get lucky with an early arrival, also no luck with in store pickup anywhere in CT.

Think you hit the Apple thread instead of AT&T by mistake. 🙂

I’m off today too so I’ll be hitting refresh a lot in that app hoping I can pick a 2-hour delivery window. I’d love UPS to show that my plane finally arrived after 36 hours but I guess it depends on how they’re batching the scans for the big change to “shipped” tomorrow.

Why doesn't apple update if things have shipped? Mine is still sitting at Preparing to Ship, but it seems like most peoples are... I can't use UPS MyChoice as I am shipping it to a business address and it won't let me... Ugh

They always wait until the day before since they can reasonably assume it will arrive the next day.
 
It's funny, on the Apple App in my account my phone still shows preparing to ship, but I forgot I have a UPS My Choice account and happened to look it up and I found the tracking# and it's departed Anchorage.

I’m just hoping to leave ZZ today. Still sitting at the airport there, but I believe today there will finally be movement to Anchorage.

Argh, my tracking is identical to yours up till the 9:20 "Arrived at Facility" in ZhengZhou... no changes on mine since that :(

I look Friday off (since kids are off also) so I could tackle the UPS guy on the front yard. Hoping that my scans update soon.

I quickly gathered their background once I started reading the thread. Yeah... we have an iMac in our home office and I use it so solemnly that I struggle to find the power button when I venture in there 🤣 so you're dead on.

Coming from a 2013 MBP this seems like a MASSIVE upgrade for me. I legit have the Retina burned screen on this laptop (it doesn't affect my ability to use it and I didn't even realize there was an issue until it was far too late and the screen repair window had closed). I'm definitely not made for that other thread so I'll just continue to lurk there while I party with you guys. ♥️ My MBP is still in "processing" and I can't wait to see it move to "preparing to ship"!

I'm so stoked I get to actually play with the new laptop to see if I fall in love with it or not. Thanks @naturalstar I'm excited to read up on reviews when they're out.

I'm so glad I hopped on the forums, finally. I've learned a great deal since joining. In the past I would just lurk these threads when my curiosity was piqued.

I kept my tracking from earlier launches to remind me how quickly UPS can move iPhones.

Here is what my iPhone XS Max tracking looked liked. iPhone delivery date was 9/21/2018. Didn't leave Alaska until 9/20 and didn't leave KY until 9/21 at 4:28AM, the day of delivery. I was still able to pick it up at the UPS CC on 9/21 in the morning.

You can't add your work address to your account or are business addresses not allowed? I tied my work office into My Choice but my office does have a residential address. I hope you work it out!

My question (just out of curious inquiry) is who does the “customs scans” at UPS hub in Louisville. Is it UPS employees and software, or are there really federal customs employees there all the time doing scanning? Seems it would be some software and UPS employees on the belts? And of course as several have said it seems the pattern in other years that phones who get there couple days early are not scanned by customs til Thursday -as happened last week with the 12 and 12 pro deliveries—it may mean we cannot tell the answer to my query

Nvm found it in ups choice app. Says exception date tentative on the main screen but when you click on it it looks good green and says Friday delivery. Strange.

I use MyChoice as well. I am sending it to my office, but I was able to add the work address to MyChoice for Business under my account.
