Yep, same story as last year. We could never really find a UPS flight that took it to Incheon, but it made it there. Lol. Kind of strange.
In reviewing last year's thread, there were also some that went ZhengZhou to Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong, and then onto Anchorage. The flight from HK to Anchorage was actually on a Cathay Pacific flight.

Yeah I guess they could probably rent out cargo space on a pax flight. Agh I can't wait!

How in the heck do you do a same day request and keep it off the truck? Log in just after midnight and hope?

Just going to stay home and wait. It's not worth this much hassle to get to deal with an employee at the CC counter who hates her job and everyone who walks into the CC pickup area. :D

At least most of the guys/gals delivering in their trucks are relatively pleasant folk.

I'd think about giving her a reason to hate it, but I'm considerate like that.

@dwfaust I think they might not be allowing Phoenix to pick up at CC this year. Maybe larger city or something? Annoying. Guess I'll be getting mine at 5pm this Friday. :/ At least it arrives on Friday and not Monday.

So something I ordered from Apple is in transit with UPS but still in China. Based on the partial order number in the reference numbers, it seems like it is my Series 4 black stainless 44mm watch. Not showing anything on UPS for my XS Max yet. Hmm..

The Mesa CC is allowing it. Might be a plant manager decision.

FML!

I requested to pickup package at a UPS store and it has pushed my delivery date to 7/24. Original dates was 7/21.

How do I cancel the pickup? It doesn’t give me the option.

Call them and see if they can do it to keep your original 9/21 date.

Setting the pickup at a UPS store will always push the delivery back. You want to have it held for pickup at a UPS CC

I'm not seeing any cargo flights ZhengZhou to Incheon, only passenger flights with Korean Air and China Southern. But there are several cargo flights to Anchorage, so maybe that way.
Some of the phones went to Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong before Alaska last year. Got a ss somewhere i can post if you’d like

This is just a week of tracking, guessing etc. Way more fun to track a car from order to production to shipping to local transport to dealer detailing and finally delivery. 3 months worth of excitement!!!

Well since most past 4 years its been UPS my truck driver has gotten to know I am one of the crazy apple IUP folks LOL. So we also joke about it a lot. When I got my 7 Plus he started walking towards my house and then said oops wrong house and turned around and started to walk back and then started laughing so I agreed my experience with drivers has been pretty good
