UPS99 about to land 12:14 AST/4:14 EST

I was on 11:07 from ICN. Mine was on UPS 97 too.

Starting to feel a bit better about this now. Im still in the air from Incheon as of 1:08 but I think it will make it the others are moving along fine once they hit ANC

In Alaska! Onwards to Kentucky we march. Next 24hrs we'll get to see the doubters say "oh goodness, didn't think planes were that quick or that a company thats been doing this for 10 years successfully yet again suceeds."

 

[haqsha23]

Awesome, in Anchorage, when's the flight out to Kentucky leaving?

 

[Juju56]

Arrived in Anchorage

I had that problem then it showed up. You know you have one? Someone said theirs showed when they used Chrome or IE?

Thank you, Chrome worked! Found my CC. It wasn’t showing up on my iMac/safari or my iPhone. I was on hold with UPS on the phone for over 20 minutes, tried it again with Chrome on my work Windoze computer and found it! Thanks for the advice.

Mine was in Incheon this morning, but those status messages are now missing and it shows being back in China. It was either mistakenly scanned as being in a batch that went out, or UPS is having problems keeping tracking updated.

Yeah seems the 1:08 people are the UPS 99

 

[DemonBob]

Both my watch and phone are in Louisville, UPS2782 is about to take off to KSAT (San Antonio). Hoping they are aboard, else the next flights are not till 4:00am.

What are you talking about?

For the last few years, they've failed to deliver on more and more release day orders. Go ask anyone who has dealt with these threads for the last few years. As their volume has gone up, they've simply overwhelmed customs and UPS in general at launches. Each year, a larger and larger chunk of "release date" deliveries are getting bumped to Monday or later. I'm simply pointing out that the reason this is happening is A) their volume has gone way up B) they still maintain the silly Jobs-era practice of withholding orders to prevent delivery 1 day sooner than release day.

This is a blip on the radar for UPS. This might not even be their fifth busiest day of the year. I have been on this thread every year. Last year they had delays because of the typhoon and the overall number of delayed deliveries is minuscule in the grand scheme of things.

Not all of us some left later on 1 or maybe 2 other flights

There are about 5 UPS flights scheduled to depart to Louisville before 3:30 local time

 

[shareef777]

Woohoo, in Anchorage as well (1135). So I guess we were on UPS97.

 

[codapr]

Yup UPS97. And i was tracking 99 all morning lol.

That’s the same flight number to KY, right?

 

[iApplereviews]

UPS 99 is on the ground!

 

[Hoytick]

If you were on UPS 97 we depart at 620pm eastern time.

11:07 Incheon Departure Crew, I just got:

Anchorage, AK, United States 09/20/2018 11:35 A.M. Arrival Scan

Just got the same.

 

[haqsha23]

That’s the same flight number to KY, right?

looks like 6:20 we're off to Louisville!

 

[212rikanmofo]

I think the containers will remain on the same plane (flight) and that they are probably only stopping in Anchorage to refuel before the plane departs to the main UPS Hub in Louisville, KY.

 

[rysmtihaz]

Must be a brutal day for UPS drivers.

My friend is a driver and he said it’s busy but holiday, cyber Monday, and amazon prime day are all worse because iPhones are tiny boxes. Just adds more stops.
