They'd have to have a spare plane (or hire third party) to make a special trip. UPS doesn't fly between Illinois and California (without going through Louisville). If they were going to do that, why not just send the spare plane or third party straight to California?

LOL That would be cost effective - a whole plane for one package. If it's a miss sort - they'll just ship it out on tonight's flight to the hub then to CA.
 
My phone has been sitting in Harrisburg PA since I found it in UPS My Choice. I am in VA so it should be here tomorrow. I hope anyways. Lol

Hmm, now I'm getting a bit nervous seeing all of these other posters in Southern California with their phones already in the state.

I had 9/25 delivery, so I guess I shouldn't fret? Still confused as to why it would go to Illinois after Kentucky instead of here to California.
Not sure where in Illinois it is but I saw on flightaware that there is three flights from Ohare to Ontario Intl that all arrive at 2:26 AM Friday morning. Still a good chance you get it tomorrow. Here is the link:

EDIT: Yes, the connecting flight is back in Louisville. smh
 
What the heck? mine went from louisville to san diego... i'm in orange county, but normally everything I get goes through Ontario.
 
My apple watch was in Harrisburg up until 23 April and I got it the next day here in Kansas.

It'll be fine. You'll be surprised tomorrow when you have 5 new package scans.
 
Just got my choice notification that the phones are coming tomorrow even though they haven't left Pennsylvania so I think I'm good. Whew!
 
One small hop for a phone, one giant leap err....

The case just arrived and I am ready for this.

DFW Airport, TX, United States 09/24/2015 8:25 P.M. Departure Scan
09/24/2015 6:13 P.M. Arrival Scan

Mine departed DFW and I'm not sure where it has to go to be loaded on the truck for delivery to Ardmore. At least it's on its way! A few days ago I was thinking of picking it up at my local UPS CC but then found out the hours are 3:30 pm to 6:30 pm. So I'll be waiting for the UPS driver to come to my door tomorrow...

Mine hasn't departed from the DFW Airport yet. Not sure what's the hold up... but DFW Airport is a 20-25 min drive for me... I'd wish i could just pick it up now!

I have it going to my local UPS CC, which opens up at 8am. I guess I'll have to find out early morning whether it makes that destination... Don't think if it would move tonight.

Yeah, see, I'm pretty sure the normal planes to Ontario are full, and they're working everything alternate they can to get iPhones out there.
 
Just talked to UPS. It's on a truck to our area. Yesssssss!!!! I'll be at the UPS CC at 730am lol

What does CC mean? Packages that go to MD generally first go to the Laurel hub, and then Sparks, MD (if going to me) before going for delivery. It would have to be in a more local center at 7:30AM to get on a truck (applies to both us). It will probably get to Laurel very early and then hop on another truck.

I've been wondering if they scan the ones that are further away first. If you're closer that could be it. I'm sure you're fine for pickup tomorrow.

All the carriers have departments that buy up space on other airlines/freight carriers and also sell any empty space they have to others.

You package might not be on a UPS flight yet still arrive on time.
 
My phone has arrived across town.

Hopefully tomorrow we can all quote Neil Armstrong and say, "The Eagle has landed!"
