The odyssey is finally at an end. It arrived at 4:55 pm just 5 minutes before the end of the delivery window. They really wanted to keep the tension up to the last moment. I'll never use UPS to ship anything. I hope Apple uses FedEx next time. To all of you still waiting..best of luck! Bye.
Got a tip for us?

12:52 AM EST if it's on time. Though I'd guess it's delayed 30 minutes or so since that seems to be the general trend with flights in general.
Update - landing time is now showing 1:26 AM EST but it hasn't been delayed. Strange.

Too bad Apple doesn't let you choose UPS or FEDEX. I remember hoping my order would ship FEDEX because they always deliver mid-day whereas UPS is often after 6pm where I live. Didn't Apple used to split preorder sales between the two? I think relying on one freight co. is a mistake.

Congrats! Very jealous! Strange that yours left from Hong Kong while others seem to be leaving from Korea. Wonder what the reason is for that.
So ups flight 99 no updates yet? BRRRRSee a couple posts above, already answered
I'm about to pull my hair out. Still no Arrival scan if our phones are still in Korea I legit want to ****ing know why
Not yet, the landing time keeps getting delayed by a few minutes every time I refresh. No clue if it's landed yet or not.
Again guys, don't be surprised if no scans show up in AK. Wait until KY. AK is literally only a layover and nothing more. If there isn't a scan in KY, it's all but confirmed that it's stuck in Asia still.
Yes please!! Praying there are no hiccups on our way to Kentucky and then hubs tomorrow AM!
Well at least it's been moving... mine is still processing somewhere, it must be a very complex processing stage!!.. hahah..
Or sometimes the scan SAYS KY, when in reality it's still sitting in Hong Kong...
I was originally in ZhengZhou, then went to Incheon but for some reason missed the flight out of there and went to Hong Kong instead for the flight to Anchorage. I'll bet the flights out of Korea were full and packages were getting backed up so they diverted some to HK. That would explain why a lot of us got stuck in Korea for a couple days. Too many iPhones not enough flights.See a couple posts above, already answered

So my fellow 8:01PM KR arrival... Are we doomed and have to wait till yet again tomorrow for another day or think when the flight takes off we will see something..
Hard to say. I'm doubting an update in Anchorage as I'm assuming the phones will stay onboard for the layover. If we don't see any updates shortly after UPS flight 99 lands in Louisville, it's probably safe to assume we won't get our phones tomorrow.
How come the people from honk kong got an update as soon as they hit anchorage? but we didnt
My wife's phone that came the other day did get a scan in Anchorage from Incheon. Not really sure what the hell is going on lol
