Those of you who have a departure scan from Alaska, are you able to change your delivery location with UPS MyChoice at all? It's only limiting me to deliver to a neighbor.
Why is my UPS/FedEx package in Anchorage, AK? I live far from Alaska.
Answer (1 of 11): Anchorage is a major hub for many air freight carriers. Especially if it's an international package coming from or going to Europe, Asia, China etc. Basically the planes land in Anchorage to refuel. International Packages entering the U.S.A. are processed through customs, along...

Quora isn't necessarily the best place for information. They can process customs in both Anchorage and at Worldport. Based on how long the UPS109 plane was in Alaska, my guess is they were just there for refueling, but hard to say.

I’ve been ordering iPhones for many years and the import scans were always done in Louisville. I’d be surprised if it’s different this time.
Yes AFAIK they do most imports at their Worldport location in Louisville.
And it should be fairly quick too since it's one 'customs scan' for the entire manifest (not each individual package)
Might want to check with UPS, Apple kept saying waiting for shipment, and when I checked with UPS, found out it shipped from China on 3/12/2022. UPS says it left AK at 3:20 PM today 3/16/2022.
That shipment is en route to UPS Worldport in Louisville Kentucky, where it will be scanned in customs and then from there should only take 1-2 business days to reach our doorsteps.
