My phone departed Chek Lap and is in the air to Alaska (flight #63).
Got a tip for us?

Arrival Scan
Last edited:
It’s also possible that the KY arrival scan for the 11pm AK departures is taking a while because they all need to be individually split from the pallet at this point.
Just had mine held for pickup at the CC they open at 9:30 so I can pick it up as soon as they open rather than wait around all day wondering when it will show up.
Well the pallets/containers are usually batched scanned after exiting the aircraft and then again as it’s loaded into the next container for departure from Worldport. I imagine this has already been done, but it’s just taking a bit for all the systems to catch-up.
Same here. Like hurry up watch, finish your kung pao and get to the states!!
Did that just show up right now?
Its 12:40 am in HK so like a 5 hour delay from scan to posting on the app if it just showed up.
Ya I don't think there is much human involvement with this. Everything is automated as they move through the system. Pretty sure it's not a couple guys standing there breaking down pallets that would take forever because there's more than just iPhones going through
It’s probably on this flight:

Mine is probably on there too! ( I do’nt have that updated tracking, but it “departed” at Shenzhen at the same time)
I do the same thing every year. Much more convenient than waiting all day for the door (if they even ring the bell).
Im on your same exact boat pal! I have to watches in Shanghai for 2+ and cell in Incheon...
I notice that all the ones that showed in departure scans like yours were 7:39 PM local Hong Kong time. And UPS63 also departed at that time.

EN ROUTE AND ON TIME

(5 minutes early)
Same here.. 2:02 CST order time, Max 64 Space Gray, preparing to ship, no tracking number or info since order number came through..
Have you searched by reference and used your phone number? Thats’ the only reason any of us have “tracking” numbers... we’re all “preparing to ship” according to Apple...
Not even waiting for the door but like today my case came via UPS and was here at 10:58 but it ranges anywhere from about 10AM to 4PM so picking it up at 9:30 I know ill have it at 9:30. It doesn't mention a signature being required for the shipment which it weird normally Apple does.
That’s actually how it’s done. Yeah most of it’s through machine. But there’s a person who has to break the pallets down put them on a belt and them so on.
Uh they are going to put them on a plane send them to the next facility and then the next and then to your house like everything else?
Mine is in Incheon with you!

UPS 99 is the flight we saw them leave on yesterday as well so very possible! I know tracking took about 2 hours to update after the flight left.
