If you go back a bunch of pages, a number of people went from arrived at ZhengZhou to arrived in Korea without a departure. If that were to occur again, there's 2 from ICN to ANC, one's in ~2 hours and again in 12 hours. UPS89 or 99... unless they are going some other charter or way, all speculation.

Yes, I did go back to around page 40 of 92 in this thread, just to check on those from the earliest group that got theirs on May 21. It seems that they arrived in Zhengzhou on Friday, May 14, at 8:00 in a big group. They sat all weekend, and then a good portion of them left between 4-6 PM China time Monday, to arrive in Korea a few hours later. From there, they went to Alaska. I couldn’t find the ones that you mentioned with a missing departure scan.

There were a few others that sat in Zhengzhou for a couple of days longer, but as far as I can tell, everyone still got them by Friday, the 21st. I wasn’t able to find any that went directly from Zhengzhou to Alaska.

I can’t see our group making the first flight that you mentioned, but there’s still the possibility of the second flight.

If we‘re to see our iPads by Wednesday for some and Thursday for mine in Eastern Canada, I think it’s critical that we get on a flight today. If we don’t get one until tomorrow, there simply isn’t enough time.

I think that we’re all part of one big pallet, and that’s why our tracking times are so similar. As someone said earlier in this thread, that pallet doesn’t get broken down until it reaches Louisville.

As you say, everything is speculation at this point.

Page 66. But yes, interesting day ahead.

Sadly, mine‘s still in Zhengzhou. I guess that I didn’t make it.

Oops, my mistake, amended, just realized, fireguy266, that your post was a reference from last week, so please disregard. I can see the missing scan mentioned earlier, though.

I’m wondering whether there’s any fellow Canadians in this group waiting for our iPad Pros, or did all of you either get them on May 21, or at a local Apple Store?

Yes, I agree, let’s get us out of China! It’s the middle of the night China time now, so hopefully, we’ll see action once Tuesday dawns over there. I don‘t know the flight schedules, but there are others in these forums who are really on top of them.

Ordered Black MK and Gray 12.9 256GB on April 30 from the Apple site.

MK was delivered on May 4th
iPad is processing with a delivery date of June 23 - July 8

I'd like to tell you how much I love the MK, but it's still sitting in its box with nothing to play with for another month.

I‘ll keep my fingers crossed that your iPad date gets moved up. Mine moved up, and several others had their dates move up as well, so with any luck, yours will as well.

Maybe you’ll have a chance to use the MK a lot sooner than you think!

Mine finally showed at 7:30 PM, a half hour after when UPS often tells you is the latest you will get your package. On the same truck was also the orange Smart Keyboard I ordered the day before.

As far as screen protectors go, I'm going to be trying this

A magnetic screen protector, for placing when I draw, and taking off when I watch media.

Will be trying it tomorrow when I get a chance. Hopefully it's a great compromise as I can't imagine putting another matte screen protector on this screen.

Maybe that will happen to me today but my pckage hasn’t showed up today. Supposed to be here by 7

Man. Never request an alternate delivery date from UPS. They got two extra days to deliver and didn’t come through.

Looking for patterns: From those who have shipped, does it seem transitions to “preparing to ship” generally happen Thursday (maybe Wednesday?) with shipments occuring on Friday (Western Hemisphere side of the dateline)?
