Just waiting for an arrival scan on my package. I believe it landed in Anchorage a little bit ago on UPS59. I hope it was on that flight. An arrival scan would confirm.

#TeamUPS99 Anyone else?

I have to say, this is the first time I've tracked the flight of my preorder but it's kinda fun. Seeing it progress toward me as the week moves on, keeping on an eye on all the flight paths, and getting to see where my iPhone must go to get from point A to point B.

Nice little entertainment to help the week go by!
I work at UPS too.. Team Brown!!!! Im at the Orlando Hub Center!
 
Well first off, I didn't call you a liar. Second of all, my wife is a VP for Union Bank Transaction Banking division. Thirdly, a pending charge takes 3-5 days to drop off depending on your financial institution. And number 4, I've been pre ordering iPhones since the 3 and I'm speaking from prior experience.

Also if you use the same card you have on file for your iTunes and Apple Pay, they don't need to check it.

Good luck with that inferiority complex you got goin there, champ.....
Weird. I've preordered every iPhone since the 3GS and every single one has had a temporary charge that fell off before the "real" charge hit and stuck. Every single time.

My 256 Jet Black 7 just touched down in AK. I wonder why mine doesn't show "Signature Required?" It seems like all the other tracking details I've seen have it.

Mine arrived at 2:09PM Anchorage time from Shanghai but I never saw an aircraft flying that route... not sure what plane my phone was on :O
 
Here is what I could find on UPS61

Date Aircraft Origin Destination Departure Arrival Duration
9/15/16 B742 Taiwan Taoyuan Int'l Anchorage Intl 08:41PM CST 01:03PM AKDT Scheduled
9/14/16 B742 Anchorage Intl Louisville Intl 03:15PM AKDT 12:53AM EDT (+1). Scheduled

Not sure the trip from Anchorage to Louisville listed is going to take our phones that are delayed and waiting in Taiwan, or if it's another batch of phones that made it past the typhoon. The whole it being tomorrow in Taiwan is confusing me. I wish that the whole planet would adapt to a universal time like a star date.

Go into ups and select track by reference. Put in your billing phone number. It should come up if it shipped. Apple still says preparing for shipment and mine shipped on the 11th and is in Louisville now.
Thanks! I am asking if it is still in the "Processing Stage" and I haven't been charged on my credit card, if it would be in the UPS tracking by reference before those steps take place. I keep checking them over and over with nothing so I am just wondering if those steps would come before the UPS change in the track by reference.

I have to agree on the credit card issue. I used my iTunes card on file, so there was no need to check. I had no temporary charge on the card.

"Processing" includes charging your card. No charge, no move to the next step, "preparing for shipment", where tracking gets assigned.

Yes that is confusing, is the lower one the plane that would have taken our phones if the flight in Taiwan had not been delayed? Or is it another UPS61. I notice there are sometimes multiple ones - one each day of same number but obviously different planes so hard to tell really. It sure looks like this could be the schedule we get. It is a little after 8 AM in Taiwan now. And in 12 hours -- 8PMish China time on the 15th (about 7AM CDT tomorrow -- 11 hours different in terms of 15th) it leaves. Given the 8 hours or so to Anchorage though I would think that arrival at 3 PM is a about right but we shall see if different or same in 12 hours.... Then leaving Anchorage at 3:15 PM (or 5:15 PM CDT) that puts us in Louisville around 10-11 PM CDT. They still could get this to Illinois and other areas around the Louisville hub

Additional edit: relooking at this right now I see that the 3:15 PM flight from Anchorage of UPS61 has not left so I am thinking this is estimate for tomorrow as more likely understanding. If one today it would have left about 2 hours ago and it still is just scheduled. So i am thinking baring issues this is our flight times for tomorrow.
