Agreed. Not sure if it means anything, but I am in Georgia.
I live in Western NY (Rochester to be exact)
lol so I don't think there is a significance.
When did you order?
YEY WHOOOOO!!!
AWESOME MAN! UPS21 is an MD11 too, and you even went as far as getting the plane right
Funny thing I just noticed... it says "Departure from Guangzhou" but the flight that just left, was an hour south - in Hong Kong at Chek Lap Kok Intl (Hong Kong). So maybe they were stored there and then they moved them because they didn't get on a previous flight?
Realize too that UPS does have accurate systems for knowing EXACTLY how much weight goes on those planes and EXACTLY what packages will, but I don't know maybe they moved some off... weird.
I ordered mine at 11:36 AM PDT...
so maybe it is those in the AM on the following day that are having problems? Maybe something with the UPS computers or where the packages actually are allocated in the process...
Amazing how it gets harder and harder the closer we get to the release date.
Just got the update. I am in NYC, NY. Looks like the update is almost in realtime since it is 5AM on April 2 right now in China.

Agreed. I think they may have been put on a truck and transported to HK and just not rescanned before getting on the plane. Sound reasonable? Either way, it's on its way here and that's all that matters!
Rochester, nice.. I went to Geneseo, dated a girl from RIT, and used to love The Garbage plate from Nick Tahoes!

Are you sure about UPS21...because for one it shows the departure date as tomorrow and while I know it is tomorrow in China, the scheduled departure time was 1 hour ago and it hasn't left...I use flight aware and if it were delayed it would have said so
Yupp...
I (again) think that UPS brought that plane in to "save" those packages, because UPS will allocate equipment to certain areas if they are on a fized route, but may need assistance somewhere else - they will send equipment to the other route to help.
I think that UPS21 was a bring in flight (it usually goes from Anchorage to KSDF, and now has been diverted to China, where it will go to PANC, then resume a later timed route to KSDF just after it lands and unloads'loads packages after sorting).
UPS has an ultimatum:
The next (scheduled) flight out from China is that from ZGGG, Guangzhou at 7:30 AM EST tomorrow. With this in mind, that flight will give the packages enough time to get to PANC, then to KSDF by about 1 AM Friday night, leaving plenty of time for those packages to make it on flights to get to the Saturday Delivery areas.
NOW - IF UPS decides to bring in a "relief" flight for those packages still with "origin" scans or just "billing info" statuses, I don't know what time that will be.
If it is a repeat of UPS21, then it may result in those packages reaching KY at 10:20 AM on Saturday... which means they are probably not going to make it in time.
IF however they choose a new flight, it may just divert this one DIRECTLY to ZGGG of VHHH and have it relocate there until a "new departure time" is established, and it can load the remaining packages.
Basically, UPS has about 14 hours left to show me they have moved my package. Otherwise, I am going to piss my pants lol. But until then, I have faith in the system I know so well
Can't believe it... MOVEMENT!!!

I thought the flight to the US was routed through Alaska? Surely it's not going straight to Kentucky?
