There are like 5-6 flights in next hour so hopefully we all will arrive in KY this midnight 🤩
My friend ordered on 25 September, and I ordered on 16 September, same phone, PM 256 Black. So it still makes zero sense for his to have it delivered way before me, so there’s something else
There is; space on the aircraft. It doesn't matter when the phone was purchase, as it isn't a first in/first out queue when they get to the airport, as every pallet is fighting for the same amount of space on a flight. If it doesn't make that flight, back to the distro center it goes. Wash/rinse/repeat until it does get into a flight. That is what has happened here: his made it onto an aircraft; yours, unfortunately, didn't.

His even not shipped yet, that's the whole problem. If they both were shipped and the late one made to the airport that would have been what you described here. But I think there's something else.
His was already shipped before mine was even being prepared to be shipped. So it’s not about the queue.
And considering there was 9 days difference between the purchases, there should definitely be something like “first come first served”, that’s why people rush to order it from the very beginning.
At this point there are 4 planes in the air heading from Anchorage to Louisville UPS109, 99, 77, 61.
UPS did not update the tracking info yet
It doesn't have anything to do with making it to the airport, because all of them make it to the airport. It has to do with the finite space each aircraft has. Once every pallet makes it to the airport, it all boils down to which pallet finds space on a given aircraft; If they do, that pallet gets scanned and loaded. If it doesn't, it gets scanned and sent back to the distribution center. That would be why when tracking it, you may see multiple scans for leaving the facility and arriving at the facility. They just don't leave those pallets at the airport. Again, the issue isn't making it to the airport, as they have a ton of pallets; they just have finite space on an aircraft (B777, MD11, B747F, etc.) to get those pallets loaded onto. That is the problem. Once it gets to the airport, it's anyone's guess as to which pallets make it; it's that random.

Ordered my 15Max 256 in White about 5 minutes ago. So, October 11th. Let's see how long it takes. Not in a huge hurry. Apple says 11/17. Let's see how close it is to that.
thanks, UPS 81 usually continues to Ontario CA.
i though i was imaging things when i looked at flights.
Nope there were 4.
Just wanted to check last year when did the stock settle for the pro max. When could we just walk into a store and pick one up. It’s been almost 5 years since using my XS and am kinda startled looking at the stock delays.
So if our phones arrive in Louisville tonight, what do you think the odds are of a phone being delivered to DC tomorrow?
Chances are very good that you will get it delivered tomorrow as they will overnight it.
