Have a business card with you that has the address on it and the name. That has worked for me in the past when picking up a package from the CC with my office address on it.
Got a tip for us?

In less than 30 minutes, it is going to be 11/2 in Louisville and yet no sign of an Import Scan or an Arrival Scan for us folks on the NCR628 flight. So much for that information earlier this morning about our phones being scanned "later in the day.."
99% sure that your batch left ZHCC on Cathay Pacific 51 to Hong Kong and it arrived in HK 20 minutes ago. Departure time should show 8:20 / 9:15 AM when it posts.

I'm pretty sure they're waiting for the flight at 3:35 am to get there, then they will sort out and do the arrival/departure scans from Kentucky.
Daaaaaaaaayum
That is one fascinating insight into the hectic world of UPS
2 minutes between planes on the runway, damn
2 minutes to unload a plane, damn
Thank you for sharing
P.S. Where is part 2?
It was the same way when I got my Apple Watch S3. It sat at SDF aka Louisville for 1 day for import scan and left Thursday afternoon for the PM departs.
Awesome!
Btw while watching part 1, I couldn't help but notice how they lay boxes so neatly and carefully in front of the cameraman. I can only imagine the stuff flying around like tennis balls as soon as the cameraman leaves.
My leather case got here today as well. I'm embarrassed to admit that it took me longer than it should have to figure out how to open the box.
Track has it going right over me. I run an ADSB receiver, so I'll be feeding the flight tracking sites as it does. I'll have to run outside and see if I can see it, too.
Lol I imagine they still do it like that, or it just depends on the personAwesome!

BUT fedex will sit on shipments (not Apple related) if they arrive in my city early, just because the shipper didn’t pay for expited shipping. So I’m not terribly thrilled with them. Even the post office will deliver early.
Scroll up a few pages, you won't see anything scans nothing until us 1:35 folks touch down at 3:20 AM ish in Kentucky and once they off load that plane watch this video fam until then:
Why do you keep saying that? There is no rush in Louisville, they are not going to ship individual home deliveries until just after Midnight tomorrow. More iPhone X are still inbound and those already there are securely locked up.
If you want to say someone blows, then chose Apple. They are forcing UPS to hold for Friday delivery vs just allowing deliveries to flow.

Will everyone not have to wait until tomorrow’s phones make it there too? ;-)
I know that still doesn't explain why they are waiting 24h to get the first plane sorted
Where did my phone go after anchorage at 4:30PM yesterday... seems like a long time
When is your delivery day? Nov 3rd like the rest of the U.S.? Why do they blow? You just need to take a breath, it’ll be there on time.
It’s gonna be bad in here tomorrow. These iPhones are gonna sit in Louisville for most of the day and depart for their destinations late into the evening/early Friday morning.
