There are 7 UPS flights leaving within the next 2 hours bound for Lewisville, KY! According to the National Geographic documentary on UPS I told you all to watch, Worldport is super efficient and we will get our phones tomorrow!

Oh my god finally. I'm about 98% sure we're receiving it tomorrow, and it's something I'm willing to stake my entire reputation as a 'macrumors regular' on.
Now hear me out here.

We're obviously riding on UPS99, as evidenced by FlightAware's tracking. It says that the next stop on UPS99's flight plan is Louisville, departing in about 1.5 hours with an estimated arrival time of 12:57 AM EDT, that's 9:57 PDT for you arful. So let's take yours and my final destinations as an example. From there it's a 2.5 hour flight from Louisville to Miami and ~5 hour flight to LAX (which is where Louisville tends to ship to in SoCal; I remember you told me that was your FD.)

Now, over the last week UPS flights from the Louisville Center have all left to both of our Airports at the same time, give or take 10 minutes: 3:30 AM. For me, that would arrive at ~5:30 AM since I'm in the same time zone as Louisville, for you, Arful, that's the exact same time in PDT, ~5:30 AM.

Giving it about 3 or so hours or so to make it from plane to delivery truck, and we're looking at an 'Out for Delivery' notification at around 8:30 AM.

I don't think it's too much of a stretch and even less of one given this little tidbit:

When I ordered my girlfriend's phone for her at launch, UPS gave her a delivery date of 9/25, but due to the Incheon delay I told you about earlier, it actually delivered a day later, Friday 9/26.

This officially quells any doubts I had about getting my phone tomorrow, it should do the same for you and anyone else on UPS99.

Finally, making progress

Made it to Anchorage, now onto Kentucky in another hour.

Let's hope it makes it onto this flight, because then there is half a chance it will make it to California by Thursday.

UPS109 B763 Anchorage Intl (PANC) Louisville Intl (KSDF) 02:41PM AKDT (departs in 1 hour ) 12:26AM EDT

My phone is still sitting in Korea. Since last Friday. I don't think it's going to make ups delivery tomorrow, but it still says it's on time.

I agree 100%. We have the same 7:37 friday arrival time in INCHEON…. lame… really curios when this damn thing will update
 
I'm glad you guys progressed to quickly from Korea as my phone has been there since yesterday, and my delivery is scheduled to be thursday, so if I catch some planes tomorrow I'm highly likely to have my phone by the promised 10/30 date.
 
Add me to the list of people seeing an expected 10/29 delivery while watching the same lack of movement after a 7:37PM Friday 10/24 arrival time in Incheon. Just inch-ing-along.:confused:

Same boat as yall... no way its going to happen tomorrow...apple did say by it would be delivered on the 31st but ups says 29th ... so maybe ups was just being optimistic... my orginal apple delivery was 27th to 4th...

Ups will update is tomorrow most likely.

Eh. Also being a member of the camp stuck in Incheon since 7:37 on the 24th, I don't feel bad at all. The lady on the phone said that due to volume, it's taking several flights. Well, if UPS wants to make money like the pros do, they'd better stop playing little league...

I don't care what your excuse is. Almost a week sitting at one facility is inexcusable. It's like when Walmart has only one checkout lane open and people wonder why it's taking an hour to get through the line...

I agree with that. I was in Korea from 10/23-10/29.
