Anyone's watch leave Shanghai yet? Mine's been there all day yesterday...and still nothing yet today.
So how do your Apple products using get from Louisville to Arizona, is it doable in 1 day?
No clue.. someone said some go to California but I’ve never seen that. I’m more worried about what is going on in Shanghai right now, there are only two flights scheduled (both this morning) and one of them is an hour and 30 minutes late TAKING OFF.. already, the other scheduled in a half hour but there’s a average 40 minute delay out of that airport… I’m just hoping we are on one of these two flights because if we’re not we’re in big trouble
It would be like anything else that moves domestically. There is an overnight flight from hub to hub, sorted at destination facilities and then sent for delivery. They will likely also use some commercial flights with freight availability to move product as well.
I'm ok as long as it makes it to Louisville sometime tomorrow since it doesn't leave there until some time during the night to head to my CC and arrive before trucks leave at 7AM to deliver. How long is the usual travel time between Shanghai to
Anchorage to Louisville, does anybody know?
Right, which means it has to be in Louisville by ? Wednesday? We are still sitting with big take off delays in Shanghai sigh

Shanghai to anchorage is 7hr 48mins.. if we ever get out of there!
Sorry, I wasn't clear about that question. I was trying to determine if those of us still in Shanghai had less travel after they hit the US than those who have already left Anchorage? Just speculating as to why we are so far behind those. It really doesn't matter, but would help if we knew there was a plan behind it for me anyway.
Like I said, I personally have never seen anything but anchorage then Louisville.. someone said in another forum California not Louisville but I highly question that. So mine needs to go from Shanghai this morning hopefully! Then AK then KY then back to AZ where it’s almost always Phoenix first, then I’m hours away from there... I wish your thought was a possibility but I’m thinking everything goes to KY
St. Louis area. So yes, driving distance for UPS. Still sitting at Shanghai since 6 PM on the 17th (local time)
We should be grateful at all that Apple is able to coordinate a worldwide launch to 16+ countries on a single day/weekend. Don't forget that.

No, it could still get there Thursday (day time) and ship out around 10PM or 11PM local time on a flight. Pretty certain Apple probably pulls all strings and levers possible (with the exception of mother nature) to get these on time.
I will say that reading through some of these posts, people are looking at extremely granular details and drawing grave conclusions. Let's remember that there is a lot of logistical moving parts. If the customer facing portal is not updated, does not mean it is stuck in some airport. And trust me, I love Apple products (and technology) as much as the next poster.

I'm sure that they have taken off. i know from experience that processes in CN isn't always reliable due to skipped produces. I been like stalking the Tracking hardcore since My choice updated with the information. You also got to take in that flight time is like 14 hours from CN to tulsa, and what not through other states. I'm pretty sure that all the pre orders are in the US but waiting for the date set by apple to finish the process of shipping to your house on the 21st. On top of that it confuses me on why the pre-orders are being shipped from china and not from a warehouse in US? I know that all major carriers get their shipment in tomorrow or if they haven't already for Friday's release.
