So // I was waiting until tonight to change mine to Hold for Pickup, even though it said my iPhone hadn't even left China yet.. so I doubted it was going to make it.
All of a sudden once I changed it to Hold for Pickup, it says available for pickup September 20th. I'm guessing they didn't want local places scanning them until tomorrow so to prevent looting/etc.
I know this isn't just how the Hold for Pickup works, because when I held my Apple Watch (which recently left Louisville) it says Available for Pickup September 21st.
HAHA -- within 5 minutes of changing it, it spews more info about customs I'm assuming this means its in USA now.

I'm thinking the entire UPS system is screwed up, overloaded. All week I've seen status go from China to Alaska to Louisville......THEN back to Alaska. Or stalled - which leads to failing updating on the Apple site as well. I dont recall this type of chaos on the tracking system before.
Twitter for UPS is going crazy.

Mine’s already left Columbus, OH on the way to the local UPS. Given the time it left it must already be in the local area.
I was on the flight that left AK sometime around 8:00 this morning. I can’t give the exact time because the departure from AK fell off my status, but it’s been replaced with an import scan in Louisville at 10:52 PM. I see two flights from Louisville to Denver overnight, so I assume I’ll be on one of those.
Kind of wondering why their scans aren't UTC and converted by the client, but that's hardly the biggest issue at the moment.
I was able to pick up early last year but I had to wait until all the people for the designated window were cared for.
Mine was ‘stuck’ there for more than a day. Then it suddenly jumped to Louisville and then Columbus, from which it goes by truck to my local UPS facility. It should already be there since the trip doesn’t take very long. Then onto a truck for delivery.
More guidelines BUT they don’t have to take you before others if they’re busy and you’re early
I’m driving through Louisville and the sky is lit up with UPS planes preparing to land. Counted 15 planes so far.
mine is chillin in Oakland too....im expecting it to take an over night truck south to Sunnyvale ...
me tooooooooooo.... lol. my son suggested I could just go up to Oakland and get it? hahahah. if only.
