Oh and btw,

I type a lot because I am very explicit and I like to explain things so people understand the entire picture. Plus I am a "systematic" type of guy (thts why i know a lot about tracking, and I like aviation and biology).

So if the many posts or long ones bother you, I apologize - but I hope that some of you appreciate my comments, I know I appreciated yours - the enthusiasm was great and it has been an adventure until now tracking with you all :D :cool:

It's called . . . having a lack of social skills and grace ;)
 
I feel lonely all the way here in China


SHENZHEN, CN 03/31/2010 9:35 P.M. ORIGIN SCAN
Realize - there are probably a LOT of packages to be scanned, and yours may not be sent right this hour - just give it some time to update too :)
I thought he was unhappy that his package was still in China :) If its in KY already then its set to go. So do you think the 7AM flight from China will be the last one to make the Saturday delivery deadline in the USA? I think according to your research it probably is the cut off flight.
Yea. Unless UPS brings in another "pickup" flight like UPS21 (where it redirect equipment to meet demand), then yes it basically is - as of right now I can't see any flights because the flight plans may not be filed yet. And they don't become active until a few hours before the flight, when logisitics calls the Flight officers and opens the flight plan.

Okay, woman :p

Haha "what b?" lol jk :D

EVERYONE with Origin and/or billing info scans, check it NOW!!!!


<smiles snipped out so I can use some!>

Get out of here. I bow down, sir. (kind of funny for me to call a HS student sir. :)) Impressive psychic powers.

Again, who cares. As long as it gets here Saturday.
 
04:25 UPS5X 021 Osaka/Kansai,Anchorage,Louisville

Actual departure : 04:32

That is the old status, from its flight on the 31st...

If you look at it on flightaware it will show that it normally operates PANC to KSDF.

Whereas tonight it is ZGGG - PANC - KSDF.

Hey! I resent that!

I have very great public speaking skills, and I am usually more concise when I speak... however with some certain minorities of people on here (not racial lol) there are those who ask questions about stuff you already said, so I keep them from doing that by going into further detail :)
 
OMG Finally! woot! Who's with me? hehe.

CHEK LAP KOK, HK 04/02/2010 4:23 A.M. DEPARTURE SCAN
SHENZHEN, CN 03/30/2010 1:26 P.M. ORIGIN SCAN
CN 04/01/2010 4:34 P.M. BILLING INFORMATION RECEIVED

I'm with you, mines the same. I wonder what flight this will get on?
 
That is the old status, from its flight on the 31st...

If you look at it on flightaware it will show that it normally operates PANC to KSDF.

Whereas tonight it is ZGGG - PANC - KSDF.

This is from Hong Kong airport, and listed data is for 2Apr
 
In essence...

I would wait a little bit longer though because sometimes they don't show up RIGHT away - like people's scans for 4:11 PM EST departures are coming at about 5 PM EST... so we do have to leave SOME lee way.

But again, they may bring in a later flight that day to pick them up.

But lets see tonight what the statuses show, because remember how people's statuses showed 8 AM and 4 AM and other AM Export scans? Those should happen as the packages are prepared for the flight out tomorrow morning, and those should reflect tonight or overnight tonight :D

They are not updating in real time, here is my tracking info:

Location Date Local Time DescriptionWhat's This?
ANCHORAGE, AK, US 04/01/2010 5:40 A.M. ARRIVAL SCAN
CHEK LAP KOK, HK 04/01/2010 1:22 P.M. DEPARTURE SCAN
SHENZHEN, CN 03/30/2010 11:05 P.M. ORIGIN SCAN
CN 04/01/2010 4:38 P.M. BILLING INFORMATION RECEIVED
Tracking results provided by UPS: 04/01/2010 6:28 P.M. ET

My iPad left HK at 1:22am EST (my time), but my tracking didn't update to show that until after 8:00am this morning after it had already arrived in AK. It arrived in AK at about 8:40am my time, but I didn't get that update until around 2:00 - 3:00pm. For all I know it may already be in KY.

I also was one of the people who received a late shipping notification, I didn't get it until almost midnight on Tuesday, over a day and a half after many others here had theirs.

I think UPS is just having trouble keeping the tracking updated and your iPads are much closer than many of you think.

Yea. Once it is in the US though, there shouldn't be as big a delay - the international posts are the ones they have delays with a lot, because there are a greater volume of data points they have to track with each package.

Also, the updates for this evening for ours in China leaving Hong Kong updated about 45 minutes after the time in the status update :)
 
Here's mine. Does anyone think that I can head to the UPS place and see if it's there.

LOUISVILLE, KY, US 03/31/2010 11:12 P.M. RELEASED BY CLEARING AGENCY. NOW IN-TRANSIT FOR DELIVERY
03/31/2010 1:36 A.M. ARRIVAL SCAN
 
I still don't even have an origin scan :(
just "billing information received"

Don't worry - again, make sure you track via https://iship.com/trackit/track.aspx and packagetrackr.com

they are more direct and reliable

As well, it may take time -there are a lot of packages and there is still plenty that has to happen for those packages to all get scanned and transported. Again, Apple may even have been keeping the shipment, and will turn it over to UPS when they bring these to Guangzhou - it would make sense, too, to pick up the "final ones" for the Saturday delivery :)
 
Last one I have is

GUANGZHOU, CN 04/02/2010 4:10 A.M. DEPARTURE SCAN

But no IN TRANSIT TO... yet as many others seem to have.

Rats!! This is killing me! :eek:

Don't bother about driving. I've chartered a bus. Just let us know where to pick you up. And don't forget your ski mask. Just kidding, of course. Let us know if you are successful in your attempt, should you try :)
 
Will all US-bound shipments go through Louisville? Even those who's ultimate destination is the West Coast?
