My guess is they aren't going to unload the plane until the night shift comes in. World Port runs a skeleton crew during the day but from 10PM - 6AM the place is fully staffed.
We should get an arrival scan when they begin the unload process later today.
Dude, you realize how many planes fly in and out of World Port? Planes don't just sit there. They are refueled and they leave.
Watch that documentary, planes are unloaded, the packages are sent through processing and on another plane or truck normally in under an hour.
Things may go a little faster at night, but that places is in it's hustle and bustle 24/7 for sure.

What time did you complete your order? My UPS is saying 9/21 by end of day. Which I really hope to have it earlier.....

Well that's promising then, I was at 3:11AM, and I am in Pittsburgh. So similar situations I guess.
I don't want to start a flame war but I work within sight of the World Port in Louisville. Right now the parking lot is empty. There are a handful of planes parked but no activity going on around them. You're right, work happens all day long but the real work happens at night.
Not flaming either
I guess that documentary was all shot at night....lol
You're probably right.
On a different note, how does it feel to know that your eye phone is practically within site, and Apple is holding it over your head just out of reach until Friday? At least mine is 400 miles away so I don't have to feel as crappy about it just sitting there lol. I feel bad for ya man.
Our phones are not likely to be on that flight. They'll be sorted and broken up into smaller batches heading out on different flights to the regional centers.

Haha, yeah that really sucks but who knows...Maybe we'll get it a day early.
When do you think that will happen? Do you think they'll use semis for cities that are 2-3 hours away to get them to the local hubs?
The update you SEE says it has. As others have reported, there are many more updates that are not publicly posted.

Come on. Due to the volume, they will NOT be making the normal next day air, World Express, Special DooHickey delivery times. Those names and times and weights are just placeholders.
And, I can not believe folks would bother hard working customer service reps by calling and asking.
Tonight? I'm not as informed as others on the subject. Perhaps they'll chime in.
They are in Louisville, just not scanned in yet. Patience.
If you guys have this attachment below, I'm guess that they just forgot to scan for departure at Anchorage, and that 12:58 AM departure scan was actually the packages leaving LOUISVILLE?
Anyone else have this same thing going on? Seems weird that my package left Anchorage and arrived in Louisville at 12:07AM and then departed Anchorage AGAIN at 12:58AM...
Maybe im getting two phones
Nothing weird, UPS just sorts the page by timestamps. It just put the Louisville scan below it because it crossed enough time zones that it landed before it departed. Mine was on the same flight.
According the man above who works right next to World Port (Louisville UPS Center), the main activity of packages happens from 10pm - 6am.
So the packages should be leaving later tonight.
Lazy?
Broken scanner?
They had a scanner war and ended up blinding each other?
Seems the real answer is they run a skeleton crew during the day and a majority of work is done overnight. At least that's what seemingly informed ppl have stated.
