I believe they do it twice. I do know that anything coming into the US from abroad has to go through customs before in can enter. Anchorage is the first port of entry. People too. (Off topic) I had a heck of a time flying into DC from Europe last month going through customs and having every part of my body scanned cuz I had sports tape on my tendons and had to be checked over and over and over. Good that they do that but still. I almost missed my connecting flight!

But much like passenger planes that make emergency landings and don’t allow people to get off, if the things are not unloaded, then they go through customs at the actual port of entry where things are unloaded - KY in this case.

Quick turnaround to where?
Last year my iPhone was stuck in Anchorage for a whole day waiting to clear customs.

Not sure about last year, but this is a special flight according to my friend at UPS. It sounds like they are handling it differently this time.

She said it was initially setup to go through Hong Kong, but was changed to go straight from CGO to SDF. (stopping to refuel in ANC)

True. Just depends if our little phones are getting off the plane or staying comfy in their little seats! ;)

OIC. Hope she is right then. THAT WOULD BE KEWL!
 
Question for everyone...on Friday I will only be home until around 2:15, what are the chances the phone will arrive before then? I'm thinking about either having it held at a local UPS store or changing the shipping address to my work address. I just got off the phone with Apple CS and they said since my order is still "preparing to ship" they could change the ship-to address, but it might delay delivery. I've also heard that having it held at the UPS store could delay as well.

Any advice? Besides calling out sick? LOL
