I think the plane must have gotten lost on its way to Alaska. Shouldn't I have an arrival scan there already, or is there a delay before arrival scans due to customs?

Arrived on US soil from Incheon

Update: UPS99 has landed at 4.55 pm EST. Im shipping to Canada - not sure if that makes a difference.

I don't understand how some of the iPhones just leaving China have the same (or earlier???) delivery dates at we do and ours are in Louisville. Does it seem that maybe UPS has extra trucks/drivers on tap for Thursday?

I'll be so glad whenever my iPhone 6+ gets here. Watching that UPS tracking site is like watching paint dry.

I don't understand it either...maybe waiting to fill a plane before heading to the west coast...take off sometime tomorrow and then out to the local distribution centers on Wednesday...delivery on Thursday...seems they could fly out tonight and deliver on Wednesday...that would be nice...hate watching paint dry!

125pm arrival scan anchorage. Still 10/2 delivery. Other phone still in Louisville. Getting closer!!

Just showed up on my screen arrival @ 1:25pm 9/29 in Alaska and took off from Shanghi @ 9:01 pm on 9/29....GOTTA GET BACK IN TIME!!!

 

[audiophile21]

Mine has also arrived in Anchorage. 1:25pm arrival time Anchorage time. From looking at the flight history of UPS81, it should be taking off again in a couple hours and arrive in Louisville about 5.5 hours later.

Six flights scheduled from Anchorage to Lousiville today. I wonder which one my 6 Plus will be on?

I see the same flight UPS81 set to leave Alaska to Louisville in 1 hr 35 minutes, its a 5 hr 40 minute flight

It will be nice to wake up in the morning with the phone finally on the mainland.

 

[hernan1304]

Arrived in Anchorage from Shanghai! 09/29/2014 1:25 P.M. Arrival Scan. Still showing an October 2nd delivery date. I'm in DC and ordered a 64GB grey AT&T 6 plus.

 

[wunhang]

Looks like mine missed the flight out of Incheon. Even though it did have the Arrive 8:30 pm stamp like a lot of others, I certainly do not have the departure or Alaska arrival stamping.

Me too. I wonder if ALL packages have to be scanned at each transit point? I see 6 flights pending departure @ AK to Louisville. Quite a number of flights...

I too have the 830 time stamp but I think the two I ordered got left behind as well. Still showing in Korea.

UGH I just want to wake up in the morning with some sort of update

I wonder if some of these shipments are held for some sort of inspection by customs? I'm not familiar with how all that works but might explain the delay on some.

With all the incoming flights at Anchorage - all with the same delivery date as ours - it makes you wonder what's going on. Perhaps you are right - filling up a plane. One thing about UPS, though, unless they change the delivery date on the tracking, it will never be delivered early. It's pretty rural where I live and I do a lot of online shopping so I speak from experience (unfortunately). Almost all other carriers will deliver as soon as they get a package, not hold it until a delivery date.

[zunexapple]

I'm happy for you. I truly am. My iPhone 6+ has been in China for so long I'm starting to think that my unboxing video will include chopsticks.

Haha, I wad thinking the same thing. Mine is sitting in Zhengzhou for the last 4 days, but ups is still showing scheduled delivery on the 2nd, so I am not that worried yet, it should start moving sometime tomorrow, my bet it would move afternoon, anyway, just relax, I am pretty sure we would get it on the scheduled date.

 

[CUHATIN]

Just called apple to get there definition of a preorder cause it is by far the fakest thing i have ever seen and they confirmed they have no clue.

My scans. (I have 2 orders. Both missed the flight). Maybe it has to do with it's final destination.

Where are your packages heading if you are stuck in Korea? I'm in the northeast.

 

[WAPilot]

10/2

There are a bunch of phones scheduled for 10/2....guess when they will arrive? maybe 10/2?

 

[zunexapple]

Or they just did not scan it because of the large quantities of the boxes which also are the same size....

Luckily and hopefully, yes, because mine is also scheduled for that day

Final destination is Pittsburgh, PA.
What makes me uncomfortable is with the exception of sunday, everyday since friday my date has changed each day - being pushed back one day each time.

 

[Stolenfire]

I am not quite sure...when is your delivery date? Mine got pushed back from Oct 2 to Oct 3. It is possible that some phones will be shipped tomorrow as there was a 4 day hiatus before today's shipement. Good luck though.
