Am I the only annoyed by the people getting upset that they don't have a scan for Kentucky, while our plan is just now landing in Anchorage? Lol UPS isn't going to sort anything out until the our plane arrives to they live out at the same time to the places

Chill out 4:30 people you guys in the lower 48! RELAX. Us 1:35 er's are still on the way to Alaska, hopefully we're able to touch and go and head to Kentucky. And you guys probably won't see any movement until 1:35ers catch up so they can all be landed onto the same trucks/planes etc

Beyond Doubtful. They aren't holding up thousands of shipments for planes that are over a day behind to catch up. The conveyor belts don't stop moving and trucks/planes are constantly leaving Kentucky, but whatever it takes to sleep at night ;).

Actually that’s probably exactly what they’re doing, holding shipments back to sort them all at once, they’ve got plenty of capacity. An iPhone sort is nothing like Christmas.

It does if it's saving money, why put a few hundred packages that's going to the same state as the current plane arriving ? MARK MY WORD. Makes sense in a logistic standpoint bud. They aren't going to send 5 planes to a state with the apple products split up. Like I said again you'll start seeing movement once our 1:35ers land in Kentucky in a few hours

Worldport is a giant airport/warehouse, I could see them setting aside the pallets of iPhones coming in, since they don’t need to go out until tomorrow. Then tonight they break the pallets apart and scan each individual box and load it up on the right plane/truck.

They probably do this to save money, that’s logistics ❤️.

They aren’t sending iPhone only planes to States. They send their regularly scheduled flights.

Yeah you're right the flights are planned out ahead of time. UPS had no clue that plane would be delayed as it has. You just proved my point. Scheduled flights taking off after our plane touches down in the am! Same as trucks, they don't just leave whenever..

Go use UPS search tracking by reference, and search for either your order ID (minus 2 digits), or your phone number, to find your UPS tracking number.

Thank you so much...sorry I didn't search back, I had like 2 minutes in between making dinnER and chasing my kid around.

A few years ago, I think it was the iPhone 6 release, a ups pilot took pictures of his planes cargo bay filled with iPhone shipments. So yea they are producing so many phones that ups probably groups them all together and ships them together on one plane at a time.

Thank you! Makes a lot more sense. Once everything is split up onto their separate planes and trucks w/e
