We think a UPS tracking outage this morning might be delaying some scans. It may be on the flight headed to AK right now
it has to be, no one has had an update from Incheon, but you have to believe there are millions of iphones on that UPS99 flight landing in a few hours in Alaska. If some had a departure scan then you can say it's being split, but no one has gotten any update.
 
In all likelihood its in the air headed to ANC right now. We suspect the system updates for the scans run a bit behind. It would make sense. How many phones fit on each plane? 195,000 on each heavy.

Some pics and one that is a China Air shipment so we may not be seeing all the actual flights out. All of these are from 2014.

It’s like seeing your baby ultrasound for the first time. It’s a girl.
 
I actually live in Anchorage so it’ll be interesting to see if my phone gets off the plane or makes the trip to the hub and then back up here.

I Remember a post from last year and the guy I got his phone on time but after it going all the way to Louisville first
 
OMG!! My XS Max 256 gold is soooo stupid lazy. Sitting in Icheon forever. And i dont see anymore flights flying to anchorage till 1pm tomorrow.
Mine too. My watch finally departed China about 30 minutes ago; waiting on some movement on the phone. I keep bouncing back and forth between my Deliveries app and the UPS app.

UPS99 will probably update arrived in AK then the departure scan from Incheon will come after it. Wouldn't be the first time this has happened and the scans have been out of order.
 
I’ve asked UPS support 3 times which CC my phone is being processed through and they’ve said the same place each time... but I still don’t trust them. There’s two CCs in my city and I’m not about to risk a delay by picking the wrong one just because support guesses wrong or is just telling me the CC closest to my delivery address by a smidge on some auto search...

I have a history in my UPS account of my deliveries. I can tell my CC or hub as I refer to it because all my prior shipments through UPS come through there always. So that's where I asked to hold the phones.

Millions? Nooooo maybe a couple hundred thousand

UPS isn't showing that I need to sign for the delivery like it normally would. Wonder if that will change when apple updates the order status.
I'm thinking after the shipment is through customs the system will get more info about each individual package and update then

I guess those in Hong Kong, who haven’t been updated in days, will get an update soon and the phones will be magically in Louisville or on its way
 
If the phones really are still in Incheon its 3:13 AM there right now so if they haven't left yet maybe we will see an early morning departure.

See my big problem is that my orders all show they arrive at one location in my city, depart, and then arrive at the CC near me. So I’m afraid of delaying it.
 
MEEEE!!!
I'm gonna order the watch and phone separate though for pickup. Is the best. I want to make sure I get the phone on launch.
I am doing the same, but I've never picked up on launch day, I always get it delivered. I picked a time slot for Friday. Does that mean I will have my phone on launch day?
 
My case arrived.

In all fairness you are calling him on September 19th about a delivery that is scheduled and showing on time for September 21st asking him to give you information that is right there.
I asked him why the date of delivery for me (9/21) showed as tentative now that it has got a US scan. I think pretty legit question. Many folks here seeing issues with UPS CC pickup scheduling like UPS CC greyed out. So I thought if I have to choose another UPS CC, I might as well do now rather than last moment on 9/21.

I'm hoping that we are on flight UPS63 and that with the UPS tracking problems this morning that we will see a scan when we arrive in Anchorage. Wishful thinking... We'll know in about 2 1/2 hours...

Mine was grey as well but i could still choose it. For me different types of locations where different shades UPS store was orange lockers where yellowish and the CC's where super light almost grey.

It would make sense to send them all to one location to be sorted. I mean his could be in the middle of a pile of 100,000 phones lol
