And the productivity of work lol.

I can honestly never say I watched a plane cross the Pacific Ocean in semi real time, and again across the US. It’s been fun!

Plus meet all kind of interesting people

anyone here who's final destination is in the seattle area?

 

[spinboy]

Onward and upward!

Ditto!

For those of us on the east coast in MD, do you think this is going to be the flight to Dulles with the iPhones? https://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS1220/history/20171101/0827Z/KSDF/KIAD

I have a shipment going to PA. Mine is going to KY right now

So my phone may arrive at my cc as early as tomorrow morning. There’s a flight from Louisville to abq that leaves Louisville at 3:34 am

But they will hold it til 11/3

 

[kjgnola]

My guess with the timing of the landing is that they will put these in the second day sort that happens in the afternoon for delivery on Friday.

I know

 

[kjgnola]

So we may see movement again tomorrow afternoon.

I guess none of y’all thought to go as a UPS man for Hallowee?. And then use the same UPS costume to walk into your local CC, and walk out with your phone? lol

 

[JDJ]

Once the exception is gone, it should be back to 11/3! That's why yours is good to go. I haven't had my exception even show yet sadly. It shows I requested pickup, but the exception hasn't even popped-up, which is starting to scare me.

I've been thinking about this. I haven't seen an exception on mine either. I requested it on Satyrday right before work and didn't check back for a couple hours. Could it be that we had an exception and it approved quickly enough that we didn't notice? I only ask because those that say they had an exception show the exact same status on their app as we do: Requested Change; Pick up my package at a UPS location.

They'll be done sorting as the planes are going to two separate places. One being ORD and other being Lousiville. Apple needs their in store stock Thursday evening for in store pick ups

I too thought of that, and my response is "I have no clue." That is absolutely plausible. Everything in my tracking is like everyone else's, even down to the request for pickup. So that's why I was confused by the lack of an exception.

Looks like it’s gonna cross the US border in Montana should be by midnight est or shortly after

 

[DocG1914]

So much for those that told me we wouldn’t get a scan in AK...I know what I’m talking about. It’s a simple security measure to keep track of the cargo entering the US from a foreign country

 

[jeblis]

In the US!

 

[tethead]

Just watched it cross now. That ****er is in a hurry!!

 

[no25]

It looks like Apple Store Upgrade Program people are getting preferential treatment

Yeah it is

 

[Elyphant]

Not true lol, I'm on the program and I'm in the time frame delivery for 16-24 :/

 

[DotCom2]

I think it is funny how most of the excitement is the anticipation of getting the phone. What will happen when we all have our phones for a day? Will we fall into the normal routine of losing the excitement immediately and go on with our lives? Haha, I'm just kidding around. I can't wait!

Just come back here and say, ‘Bye Guys...See ya next year!"

 

[Janders91]

What flight are we watching now for the ones that got the 4:30pm anchorage departure scan?

 

[madhu1989]

I am. My phone is with the group that departed Alaska at 4:30pm.

even I am. so we are not only shipping buddies but also destination buddies. are you picking it up from a UPS CC?
