I feel like we would be directed straight to destination after anchorage? (for those on the west coast)

You'd think that would save a lot of time instead of heading over to KY... But every Apple product I've ever ordered on launch day has gone through KY (according to my limited memory).

UPS is saying it's gunna take 2 days to go from KY to CA even though we paid the $5. <shrug> - oh well. :p More anticipation and following this thread. :)

Glad I'm not the only one. I figured I wouldn't be. My Choice says mine is coming tomorrow. I'm just outside of Detroit.

I'm hoping ours will to after this evening.
 
Has anyone else's shipment gotten stuck in Shanghai at the clearing agency awaiting final release? Mine has been there for over a day now.
 
The long and winding road continues — took 4 days and 9 hours to clear customs!

I hope that's the case but My package normally goes to KY then to Alaska. I don't think it''ll be a direct flight from Alaska to Las Vegas. But this is COVID season. You just never know.

Have you been able to find the flight information since 3:25AM crew got the export scan?

I think this is our flight, although it doesn't match up exactly:https://flightaware.com/live/flight/CAL5244/history/20200922/0930Z/PANC/KSDF
I paid $05.00 but it's not promised. Now, my package is arriving on a friday instead of a wednesday but ofcourse that could change. Hoping to track down the flight.

My assumption is they are all in crates effectively from China to KY. AK doesn't have the processing capability and they don't have the flights. KY is a huge UPS hub so it's faster to just take the lot there, break them up and forward them on. :) I'm not sure the last new product I've tracked. Possibly my Ceramic Series 3 that is on my wrist. I think my last 2 phones have been post release just bought at the store.

No flight confirm yet for me. opted for the day early. Going to check flightaware periodically for UPS flights out to Kentucky or Alaska.
 
Mine too - ours are definitely traveling together.
Honestly curious what’s going on with our one pallet of watches. Woke up this morning, saw there was another message saying it got stuck at customs and I almost went back to sleep cuz I thought I was dreaming! But right after it, it said it cleared customs. They need to load our watches on a plane and get them outta there before the customs feels like screwing around with them more.

With our 2:00am group going to TPE, then to ANC, and now to SDF (hopefully), and the scans don't line up with the posted flight times, it's jut going to be a guess for the 3:25am group. I paid the $5.00, but will get it back because they couldn't move mine up a day
