I can assume demand is so high and UPS has not so many aircrafts in order to load so many pallets.
I can also assume they may wait for full load of Apple things for Apple Stores.
Another guess UPS may transport not only Apple things but possibly other electronics too and there is a delay from other supplier which is good for UPS (extra charges/profit)
Keep in mind, there are 77 days left till Christmas and they have to make sure they will deliver so many iphones within next 50+ days that every potential walk-in customer with money and intention will get an iPhone with desired model, color and storage. Globally.
Someone, out of curiosity, may call/message UPS-China customer support and ask for explanation. Locally they usually have more information (https://www.ups.com/cn/en/locations.page).
PS: My two orders: Pro Max & Pro iPhones - are scheduled for Oct 2 - Nov 2 and Oct 24 - Oct 31 accordingly, so there is time. I also hope for a 7 days shift to mid Oct.

🎉🎉 Just arrived in Anchorage, Alaska. Should be on the way to Louisville in about 2.5 hrs. The wait seems extra long this year. LOL
Flight (UPS) 5X109
The white looks amazing!

Yeh I don’t know what to believe because ups not giving me any updates so am just trying to find some light
last 4 phones I've been able to track the progress to Alaska, short black out, then when it hit Ontario CA sort it was visible again. The potential deliver was pulled in to a work day. The UPS drivers like to group boxes and dump them off a chosen house. At least I got to know the neighbors, lol
Have any shipped straight from Shanghai to Anchorage? I thought they all went thru Tokyo (NRT) or Seoul (ICN). That’s what it seems like this year.
People forget they’re a day ahead of us. It’s really amazing how it’s done, call it “going back in time”.
We can pick up a package in China tonight and have it delivered next day in NYC by 1030am.
That being said I saw your last post about being in Anchorage. It should get into Louisville tonight, sorted and to you tomorrow…
I see you’re in Eastern WVa, what’s the closest airport to you? Baltimore? DC? Harrisburg? None of those lol?
I keep forgetting the day difference! The closest airport to me would be Baltimore(BWI), Dulles International(IAD) in DC. Both of those are abou 90 minute drives. Harrisburg is usually where my packages for USPS typically come from.
I still find it so fascinating how quickly an item can go from Japan to the US. In theory it seems like a massive feat but by plane its just a few hours.
Yeah it’s wild…
Here’s the flights for the morning (if one of these are yours). One is Harrisburg (MDT) other is Baltimore (BWI)…
