6:10 am ZhengZhou time was 1.5 hours ago. Probably just some sort of lag in the system reporting ours. As if... as if someone... someone in the shadows ... was keeping this from us!
We'll all be saying this in an hour I think. Time to start figuring out which blasted plane left CGO around 6:10 am....
Just this week alone should allow me to add "Logistics Coordinator" to my résumë...
Have to clear customs which is a process UPS doesn't totally control. If there were delays for some reason, well so would everything that follows. Never been a problem, it'll be fine.
Mine says that too but once in the info page it's nowhere to be found so probably just boilerplate text or something unrelated to actual estimates for the delivery.
Except he DID mention that they can be updated... right before he talked about Instagram. He also said "yet" at the end, implying they need to be updated.
It was my first time watching that guy, but I personally liked him.
Yeah man that's frustrating lol. So there were no flights to Anchorage within the last 2 hours, but there are passenger flights to Shanghai, CN and Incheon, SK. Could be leasing cargo space to get there maybe, and then on a UPS flight. Pure speculation, of course.
This is the sucky thing about tracking cargo. Sometimes they'll lease space from passenger flights. And if they do that, there's no telling which plane it's on because there are too many passenger flights during the daytime. At night, when most cargo flights happen, it's so much easier to tell.

It's not easy to find on FlightAware, but there is a UPS173 (5X173) that flies ZhengZhou to Seoul 5x a week. By the looks of it, it typically flies out 5-6pm ZhengZhou time and lands in Seoul about 1.5 hours later.

Likely a flight check departure scans!

Still no tracking number this morning for my 64gb XS Gold. Hopefully today I’ll get one. My delivery still says Friday with Apple, so I’m not worried just yet lol
Same here for my 256GB XS SG. Nothing at all from UPS but Apple still showing delivery on the 21st. Trying not to be concerned haha. Nothing showing for my wife’s XS Silver either.
I arrived at 2:10 as well but haven't departed yet (at least it hasn't updated yet if it has)

Looks like UPS173 from ZhengZhou has just landed in Incheon, SK, 3 minutes ago.

Your order was processed before mine though so you are probably an earlier shipment yours was 7PM on 9/16 mine was 11AM on 9/17

Pretty sure ours are just being held until it's time since they can't be delivered until 9/21 once yours ships it will probably move a lot faster.
No, but I am now hitting refresh like a mofo...
I'm thinking they may have departed and just haven't all updated at the same time. The way these word ease shipments work is for customs clearance and stuff its multiple shipments going to the same hub in America are seen as 1 shipment but each package inside is still individually trackable. So it may just be slow to update them all.
Same here and like others, I suspect it's already in the US and will ship from a hub. Possible it could be FedEx instead of UPS as well.
If Apple says 9/21, will be 9/21. At iPhone 5 launch I had launch day delivery and got no notice until it was out for delivery. Have never missed a launch day when Apple says launch day.
Unlikely they usually don't have any stock of launch day stuff already in the US and pretty sure UPS is handling all Apple launch day delivery.

Still no departure from ZhengZhou for me. Do you know when the next flight out is?
