Does UPS show customs anymore I remember last year for my late ordered phone it happened instantly but if not when do customs show up
 
I'd rather not, the less I know the better I think! Bizarrely I can eat the USA Big Mac or other McDonalds food and still feel okay after but if I eat the UK one I feel unwell for days after, processed for the win I guess
I can’t eat the USA McDonald’s fries..it makes me so sick..not sure if its the oil or what but 🤮
 
Still stuck in ZZ here. I am keeping track of the flight that was linked a bit ago, but it doesn't seem to take off until tonight. Hopefully we can get some departure scans sooner!

That’s China standard time. It’s going through a inspection. It will depart soon. Praying we’re all on this flight. ✈️

Looks like it was supposed to take off an hour and a half ago, no? 09:18 Chinese Standard Time = 9:18 EST. Looks like its actually late if I'm reading this right?
 
Every year I watch several times a day and get anxious cause every year mine shows sitting in China until 24 hours before delivery then all the sudden it shows all the scans lol. Why mine never see's movement till the last minute is beyond me!! HAHA. I am part of the 4:50 scan crew and some show in Korea now but not me!! :(

For those still in ZZ who are starting to panic: don't panic.

Think back to the iPhone 7 launch. For those of you too young, let me tell a tale:

I ordered two iPhone 7+s. There was a tsunami or some **** in southeast Asia that was delaying flights. I was in full blown panic mode. But then, suddenly: my phones went from China to Alaska on Thursday during the day, from Alaska to Kentucky overnight, from Kentucky to Philadelphia at like 7 AM on launch day, and arrived at my door in Delaware on launch afternoon.

UPS can move really, really fast when they need to. So take a deep breath and let it happen.

Edit: I'm still in ZZ as of this morning too and, as my post indicates, not panicking.

Happened to me with the iPhone XS Max. Time zones definitely work in our favor. UPS is a logistical powerhouse.
