I wonder how it works when phone are getting delivered to Anchorage lol.

My wife and I each ordered (live in Anchorage). Apple shows Friday delivery. I can find my tracking number on UPS using my phone #, although not even a origin scan (although it is scheduled for "Next day air"). Can't find the wife's at all.
 
I'm signing up for myups choice. Wtf. It tells me I need an activation code. 2-5 business days. How come it just doesn't send it via email. That's stupid.

Don't wait, call 800-742-5877 and ask for a call-back from your local UPS Distribution Center. They will let you will-call without waiting for the web code.

I think they fly to Memphis and then right back to Anchorage.
 
Also. My phone hasn't shown up in my support profile either? However I ordered it on 9/12 and it's still prepared for shipment for 9/19?

Is that normal?
 
My phone departed from Harrisburg PA. Considering i'm < 200 miles away I'd envision most likely the next stop will be my local distribution center. :)

Same. Any other package and it'd get delivered tomorrow. Don't know the safeguards which will prevent that tomorrow, but hopefully they don't work....
 
Even though it doesn't mean much, it's still at preparing for shipment. Driving me crazy. :mad::p
 
Hmm?.

Makes no sense.... My phone was in Tennessee and now it's in Kentucky.... It was closer to me while it was in Tennessee... Lol it's running from me!!
 
Our packages have both arrival and departure scans from Anchorage

I know. Mine also. What I was saying is that a few said it was this certain flight out of ZhengZhou, China that left at 5:15 pm and mentioned Atlas. Well that flight was not due into Anchorage until 9:03 pm according to that flight schedule and it isn't even 9 pm there even now. But it doesn't matter as long as the phones got there and have left there.

Alright dude. Thanks. Are they open 24 hours or don't I have to call in the morning?
 
Mine arrived Anchorage and just left Anchorage. A big progress from stuck in China for 3 days without any update. :D

I understand the confusion :) Mine departed (according to the scan) in the future...safe to say, at this point, our phones have landed in the US and are somewhere between Anchorage and our homes (I'm in Chicago). There is a flight from Anchorage landing in Rockford, IL (another UPS hub) in about an hour and another flight from Anchorage to Louisville thats been delayed for awhile (estimated to land around 4:30 or 5am EST).

I'm assuming we'll see some new statuses once those flights land. Since we are all getting nearly identical scan times, I'm also assuming that all of our packages are in a pallet and are therefore moving in tandem.
 
Same here kitten. Where is your phone coming to? Mine is headed to Maryland

Hey plane buddy! I have a 64 gold 6 heading to Nebraska. I'm sure once we get to Louiseville we'll be sent out on our separate ways. Someone posted a neat video of how that center works. Craaaazy stuff.

Oh ok. Ughhh no plan delays to Louisville or anywhere please from Anchorage lol. We need that entire time lol.
 
Joining the discussion, getting worried... T-Mobile, ordered 9/12 off apple.com as soon as the website started working around 5am EST.

By tomorrow will get shipment email.

I just now spoke with Apple support about the shipment. They told if the status is in preparing for shipment and delivery is on 19th, will get email tomo abt the shipment and confirm delivery on 19th. So no worry. Who are all purchased from Apple site and status is in preparing for shipment. Will get on 19th.
 
Apple website says preparing for shipping . Found my tracking using my reference through ups , and here it is , should see activity starting tomorrow . Delivery for 9/19. Last year , my 5s came from China , this time around , my phone has been patiently waiting in the US to get to my hands :D
