Doesn't look good for the West Coast. Those flights are the earliest to depart from Louisville due to distance and headwinds, and will likely misconnect the inbound UPS 99. If yours is on this flight, you can at least look forward to Friday.

It would be a bitch to miss the Thursday night sort and have to wait until Monday!

I'm confused. My UPS tracking shows it left AK at 3:45, so what flight would it be on? :confused:

edit: and FYI it shows as on time according to google If I choose to believe google maybe my phone will get to me faster? lol

Just want to make everyone aware, I received a very legit looking email from Apple today saying there was a problem with my phone. It turned out to be a phishing email and it seems others have gotten it as well.

I received the same email and I called Apple Customer Service and asked about the email. The person I spoke to had me call the number while she was on my other line. She told me I should talk with them. I still think it was not really right. Although when I gave them the number in the email they gave me the number of my phone. Told me to call back once I received the phone to activate which I did not plan to since I always activate through iTunes.

Pretty sad when you report something like that to Apple and the CS person falls for the scam too.

Yep...mine shows the same. Could they be using a different plane? Could 3:45 just be the time it was loaded on the plane (I doubt that though)? Also, is 3:45 considered late or is that around the time it typically leaves?
 
Is that the answer you were given? Where do the drivers go? To their homes with all the iPhones left in the truck? That's crap, lol.
Drivers have to be back at the station at a specific time everyday, just so customers can pickup failed deliveries. Drivers get penalized if they don't, that's why you see them running around like nuts all day. Some customer service rep at the station tells you different so that they don't have a long line of customers going out the door. They know it's iPhone time and they will be three times more busy.

I have that too. According to the best info available (i.e. flight aware) the flight that brought the phones from Korea, UPS99, is not going to depart until 4:50 local which was about 15 minutes ago.

There are several UPS flights from Anchorage to Louisville and I suppose it is possible, because of the mechanical (I assume), they transferred some of the cargo that was time sensitive off UPS99 and on to UPS61 (left at 3:23), UPS81 (4:03) or UPS63 (4:41).

If the departure time of 3:45 is correct and a true departure, that would suggest the phone is actually on UPS61.

We shall see.

Did anyone answer this? I believe that its possible. I've done it before. But you will have to call them to really be sure. Good luck

Yes, thank you!

I did call them and asked them to hold it for pick-up, and the system told me it was early enough to pick up today. So I'm going over at 8 PM!
 
Soooo

Is their any way of finding out? Mine says on time still but i'm assuming that doesn't really mean anything?
 
My guess is

http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS61/history/20130925/2322Z/PANC/KSDF

based on a 3:45 departure time.

Not that I know of. Now if a nice and kind UPS employee could check the system they could give us a hint but the only sure way to know which plane would be when the arrival scan in SDF pops up.

I guess we will have to find out in the morning, seeing as how UPS has delayed updating of its scans. >_< If anyone figures anything out let us know!
 
Delayed flight

I just chatted with a nice lady at UPS HQ (probably in India lol) and she assured me that because my phone says delivery by Thursday (Upstate NY) and does not show a delay, it probably wasn't on UPS99 :D

Interesting.

BTW, UPS99 has just taken off. Flightaware is estimating it will arrive 3 hours late in SDF.
 
UPS is unusually late in SF. Is it all the iPhones out for delivery? Very annoying.
 
For those expecting shipments tomorrow, if you happen to be up near Sacramento, here's how my shipment progressed :)

Finally came! :D

My UPS driver always gets here by 10am but of course, today it's 4:30 and he still hasn't showed up...:eek: I'm sure he's parked somewhere playing with my phones

It's always the day when your expecting that "BIG" item that the delivery guy is never on the normal schedule. I hate that lol.
 
Processing Items Available to ship: 1 - 3 business days
Delivers: Sep 30 - Oct 2 by Standard Shipping

My order was completed at 3:11 am. Still processing . . . Pretty bummed about it.

I had a chance to order online the same model and pickup in a store (on the one day this was possible), but I couldn't cancel my order because it was processing.

Ironically, it's still processing tonight, but now I can cancel online.
