Most UPS Saturday Delivery for international is by Noon - if you get it around then, most likely you will get it around the same time
No its an 8 hour drive direct, not including the stops the truck would have to make along the way.
It is possible it will be shipped to KMKE Milwaukee at either 3 AM or 4AM, then be driven north to Green Bay
Awesome!!!!
The status is backed up. Most sorting happens 11-4am, then planes take off, then they land, and it only needs to happen before about 8 AM Sat. From where I sit, that leave 12 hours.
Edit: UPS is a 24 hour operation, and they deliver more packages than most anyone. They probably know what they are doing.

This WorldPort Video really is a eye opener on how UPS WorldPort works.
It is worth watching if you have the time. It will ease your mind.

Plus all of the flights through there have been on time, going through ICN Insheon, to PANC Anchorage, then to KSDF Louisville. It is very likely that they are just lagging with updating - trust me your packages would NOT be left in korea, UPS does not operate like that. They only drop packages if they are local, and on top of that it showed "Air Transit" meaning it is on an aircraft and has stopped in that city for reasons other than those packages being sorted (basically so other packages could be removed / added)
Really? Hadn't heard those email were wrong. It does show to be in Louisville, KY now. I live in Arkansas, so not that far away from me
You just gave me a glimmer of hope, thanks.
This is my exact tracking information as well (though I'm going a different direction after Louisville), hoping for some movement soon, or that the scanning/tracking system is just horribly backed up.
Kim Jong Ill has taken all of our iPads and will use them for weapons.
That explains how it's traveling.... an inch at a time.

Thanks a lot for the info TechDude... I was worried it'd just be a drive from there... hopefully it starts moving soon, or has already moved but not updated, to get here in time!
My iPad must be sitting next to yours. I say we take a road trip to Louisville for our own "Midnight Launch" lol
I've got the same tracking. I'm assuming mine won't go out until the middle of the night from Louisville.

UPS2112 is enroute, but you are probably not on it unless the status is lagged. it is MORE possible you are on the morning flights that leave at around 3-4 AM...
hehe your welcome
Haha that was UPS21 - I was on it too!
I know mine will be on the one flight here, UPS1144 at 4 AM EST
It's funny they're that technologically advanced when it comes to moving packages yet their status update system sucks huge balls.
Well I don't want to set you up for disappointment, but several people who got those emails called UPS and were told that it would in fact be coming on Saturday. I never got an email, but my iPad just left KY at 7pm headed to MA, so it seems entirely within reason that it could get to Arkansas in time.
Mine just scanned in 45 minutes away from me in south Baltimore! Aces. I was getting a bit concerned, but all seems well so far.
hehe no problem
Yupp. Those that are just going out either: are being lucky in getting to those flights early, and UPS used those packages to fill extra space OR those are the only flights for those towns (which I doubt).
The faster UPS can get packages out of WorldPort, the better - and that is just what they are doing
Before you got that scan what was your last update? A departure from Kentucky?

Haha! Thanks, can you give me the link to that flight? I CANNOT WAIT!!!
I'm in Philly too, but my status has been stuck on Incheon, KR since last night. It better get here! I have faith!
