How you guys know that your iPhoneXS or XS max are on the plane UPS99 ? Mine shows nothing!!!!!!

If shows a departure scan what you talking about?

 

[dreamwife]

Someone let me know how it leaving Incheon just now is great?

If it’s going to Alaska, could get help up there.. and if they all go to KY then we’ll wait for that as well.

Are UPS employees ninjas? I’m in California and to think that this will be in my hands tomorrow is crazy lol

You gotta believe. My husband’s is with yours. You got 36 hours til End of Day UPS time tomorrow. It will happen. Where in Cali are you?

I just asked the same thing, they're not doing a 2 hours delivery window.

They never do windows. Even with premium. This day is bigger for UPS than Christmas.

Someone on another forum said this is likely our flight. I think they said it's a contracted cargo flight and is the closest to our departure time:

https://flightaware.com/live/flight/KAL271/history/20180920/1420Z/RKSI/PANC

That flight is going to Chicago next so possible flight but unlikely to unload and to reload on another plane..

It could be CPA80 Cathay Pacific. The flight was delayed.

Something about mis-spelling the airline's name on the airplane may have delayed your iPhone delivery.

Ok, while a true story, hopefully that wasn't the actual plane flying the CPA80 route with your phone.

So here is my theory. The 3:46 “In Transit” scan from yesterday is when the phones actually started moving. By now they have landed in AK, but after refueling the plane it just went on it’s way to KY. So if there was no physical scan in AK, then there would be no inciting action till it lands in Louisville. I think that once it landed there they scanned the palettes and that triggered a departure scan from Incheon with today’s date. Now they are sorting and getting ready to put them on planes to our local hubs for this afternoon, so they can get them in trucks for tomorrow morning. If my theory holds true later this afternoon we will get rapid fire scans getting them all the way to departing Louisville.

Sound legit?

 

[jtrue28]

Fake news.

The guy on the other forum said it wouldnt take much to unload in Anchorage and load on to one of the planes already in Anchorage headed for KY.

Only time will tell, but is likely..

This is some kind of messed up lmao

They sure aren’t making it easy..

The guy must be an expert because what plane would they put the items on if the other planes are already loaded, look at flight UPS99.. In all honestly the phones may already be in route to Kentucky..

Anyone still 2:10 ZZ? I’m bugging out.

Isn't it just a refuel in AK for that same plane then off to KY?

 

[Irock619]

Just got an email from MyChoice saying delivery scheduled for tomorrow. Problem is it has my address and not the CC that I requested. Debating if I need to take off work tomorrow!

Yes flight 99 will go form ICN-ANC -SDF after refueling of course.

This was answered a page or two ago. TL;DR: Don't worry, it will be at CC.

Not sure if this is sarcasm because you have been a member since 2007, but I'll still answer. Yes, yes they do let you hold it there, it's the only safe location to hold it and get it on the 21st. Holding at a store delays it until the 24th.

You guys are lucky. I pre-ordered with AT&T and FedEx is delivering. I contacted them and they will not hold the package at any of their locations for me.

Just hit 3 hours since my import scan in Kentucky. Anyone know from the past how long it is after that, until it moves out?

YOu need to look at when flights go out from KY to where you live... my phones have usually flown out the morning of delivery.

Just depends on where it needs to go. There are various flights scheduled for various locations at various times of the day. They also need to take them all off the pallets and get them going to the right flight.

 

[anson42]

Like some of your new phones, mine spent the day sightseeing at ICN before heading our way.

Middle of the night if connecting to another hub by air. Otherwise, they transfer to vehicle and start driving tonight.
