Ladies and Gentlemen of the batch departing ZZ at 5:46am: your devices will reach anchorage shortly on cks859; then it will continue onwards to Louisville.

Of the batch still in ZZ with a scan time of 2:10am, yours may go to Korea and takeoff in the morning EST!

Looking at changing from home delivery to hold for pick-up. Any chance this delays things? Second issue, it’s being shipped in my wife’s name, would I still be able to pick it up?

Thanks!

Only do it to a UPS Hub and No, the person it's addressed to has to pick it up I believe. Or maybe same last name and address.
 
Guys even my shipment shows it's stuck in ZhengZhou, China. The only time we look into China so badly :p

Last year I had almost the same situation and it was like 2 days left and I was wondering what the hell is going on? but in real it takes less than 10-12 hours to ship from China into US. So don't worry, there are more than 70 hours left. It will be shipped on September 21, 2018.

I'm not worried but it just sucks to see that happening all over again lol

I finally got a UPS label, I bought mine from Apple.con Mexico and it appears those are shipping directly from the US, as it’s origin scan was at 5:49 PM today in Ontario, CA and it now appears in transit from there.
I find this interesting since every other year they were shipped from China.

If apple wants to raise prices even more they should offer the "full tracking feature" for 29.99 extra so you can watch each exact step.

"The pilot of your UPS plane just yelled at air traffic control" or "your plane from ZhangZhou to Hong Kong just landed and your flight to Alaska will begin tracking in 3.5 hours".

I suppose I shouldn't give them any more ideas to raise prices.

eventually- it all ends up in Alaska.

Is anyone in the same position I'm in right now? I got my order email at 2:10 AM the morning of preorder, but my status is still at "preparing to ship" should I be worried?

I find it very interesting too. This is the first time I'm looking at this at the time of pre-order deliveries.

I don’t think anyone has gotten a shipped yet from Apple. Everyone is still PFS, no need to worry.

Looks like my XS left Anchorage already but my watch is stuck in Hong Kong. Probably Typhoon related?

Looks like flight 5X174 (UPS174) is on it’s way back to ZZ from Incheon. Could this be the plane that picks up all of our 2:10 am’s?!
