This plane is used for oversized cargo no need to use this to transport iPhones. This picture was taking in Anchorage at 8am PT. I work for a large cargo airline and they landed right behind us. UPS has exclusive rights to all Apple logistics.

Have you ever been on a flight from the west coast to China? Ya its not close lol....
No i havent but judging from the map it doesnt look that far and also judging from the flight time a little under 8 hrs its manageable
I just wanted to say that I'm a little jealous of you guys who get to track yours all the way in from China. I loved doing that in past years. Mine's been sitting in TN since Sat. and just finally got an origin scan in Nashville tonight.
Enjoy the journey!
Enjoy the journey!
Well it depends on if your heading east or west but its close to a 15 hour flight on a passenger 777.
I see what you saying. Sometimes flight from LA to NY (or NY to LA) is 6 hours. Although flight from China to lower 48 is usually around 13 hours.
Well, a bunch of phones did UPS scan leaving Zheng Zhou at 5:15 AM their time. That's all I've got. LOL
Looks like they have landed in Anchorage...

Someone is getting two iPhones...
Hahaha. Totally at a loss as to what is going on right now. I would understand if maybe the Anchorage package arrived in Nashville and maybe that would register as a different package or tracking number once it's in the US, but right now they're in completely different locations as the Anchorage one only arrived in AK a few hours ago and the Nashville one departed earlier today.
I did have to place two orders as the first one was declined due to suspected bank fraud but I was only charged for one and I definitely didn't have enough in my account to buy two phones...
Aaaaand left...
