Mine arrived at ICN at 7:59 pm as well.

Next UPS flight to Anchorage leaves at 9:55pm (KST) and arrives in Anchorage around 12:45pm (AKST). [flightradar24.com]

From there, my guess is that it departs Anchorage at 2:50 pm (AKST) and arrives Louisville around 12:44 am (EST).

That gives UPS 24 hours to deliver from Louisville.

I'm not worried of course, and it won't mean anything come Friday...but, not being able to track anything really sucks the joy out of this week. Following the plane...any plane is something I really enjoy. 3-4 days of ZhengZhou 2:10AM just ain't cutting it for me.

Lololol yes same..... it’s Wednesday it’s gotta move today right ?

 

[AlexPuente]

What phone did you ordered and at what time, I also ordered from Mexico

A 256 GB Gold iPhone XS Max, I wasn’t able to track it using reference number, only through MyUPS... Btw it’s already in Louisville KY

Farewell to ZhengZhou. A poem.

ZhengZhou! ZhengZhou!
Its goodbye to you!
My IPhone is up — Up, up and away,
Where to next I cannot say.
Anchorage? Louisville? Someplace else?
UPS bring that toy to myself!
Need it. Want it. Gimme my prize.
Don’t want no more UPS lies.
Waiting, waiting for 2-1.
Waiting. Waiting for that fun.

Kalitta Air 859 is also landing in about an hour. It came from ZZ then did a quick turnaround in Anchorage, so it lines up pretty well with the scans. The folks who arrived in Anchorage first are probably on UPS 2997 though

 

[AZhappyjack]

I’m still in Incheon

Still? Mine just got there about an hour ago.

 

[gigapocket1]

Finally Movement!

 

[ThereisnoLisa:onlyCube]

Lololol yes same..... it’s Wednesday it’s gotta move today right ?

My "fear" is that it will be the same as it was for me two years ago for my 7 plus...stuck in ZZ with no movement until Friday morning where it suddenly had all the scans listed- the last one being departure from Newark to my CC.

 

[Pipper99]

It's not a phone or a watch. Most likely a case.

Yes I know it was a case: I was just letting them know that it’s likely still on time for the 19th.

 

[Clingpeach]

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!

Finally got my departure scan from Shenzhen. Was feeling a little nervous for a sec.

No there’s still plenty of time to make it for Friday. My iPhone 7 two years ago was in China on Thursday and arrived on a flight in My city at like 5 am Friday and was out for delivery an hour later. If Apple says sept 21, it’ll be sept 21!!

 

[alextripp]

No change for a day and a half for me:

Incheon, Korea, Republic of 09/18/2018 8:10 P.M. Arrival Scan
ZhengZhou, China 09/18/2018 6:10 P.M. Departure Scan
ZhengZhou, China 09/17/2018 2:10 A.M. Arrival Scan
ZhengZhou, China 09/16/2018 11:57 P.M. Departure Scan
China 09/17/2018 11:35 A.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS

Hoping that the flight leaving Incheon today has my phone or hopefully it's already in Alaska with a missed scan. There is only 1 flight I see leaving Incheon today for Alaska but like 7 going from Alaska to Louisville.

I’ve been stuck in Hong Kong for a day+ now too. Another poster says they’ve held up there up to a day before in past years. I’m not sure what the business model/logistics involved are - best guess is there is just that much cargo in line. Otherwise I’d think they’d want to get these rather valueable items the heck across the border ASAP before Trump and Xi escalate again.

 

[ManUtd08]

Got it!! Mine’s in Anchorage as of 11:15 p.m.!!

Who else’s phones are traveling with mine? Looks like it left ZhengZhou at 11:54 on the 16th.

Me too! I was so excited to finally see some movement on my phone.

Currently trying to track my iPhone and UPS isn't loading. Anyone else having this issue?

UPS Tracking Site has basically stopped responding for me ....
