UPS918 from Louisville to Ontario, CA is in the air

Not sure I see the significance. Did you get a scan saying yours was leaving Louisville?

----------

did you get a departed scan. I have not had a scan since I left Alaska at 12:58 on the 18th.:mad:

I think people are now looking at random flights from Louisville and assuming their phones are on them. :confused:

See my last post, UPS is notorious for missing scans. I get UPS packages quite frequently and I've had quite a few stop tracking mid way and then either appear as out for delivery or show as delivered the day after it was delivered. UPS tracking can be as buggy and worthless as USPS at times, this is why I far prefer FedEX as a carrier.

I'm actually a bit bummed Apple uses UPS now, I used to like ordering from them because they used FedEx

I agree, but why start assuming it's on some random flight?

Yes, I think you are right. They are starting to assume that the phones should start moving to the hubs close to them. It could be a bit early for that though.
 
You should get an arrival scan to Hong Kong soon. When you get your departure scan from Hong Kong. Then go to flightaware.com and put airport code VHHH into airport tracker/info on the left side. look for a ups flight that left about the same time as your departure scan and thats your plane.

Great! Thank you very much!:D
 
Well, still no updates on my phone, but my spare Lightning cable just arrived. Via FedEx. So that's somethin', I guess. ;)

Edit: damn, that little connector is TINY. Way smaller than it looks in photos.
 
Your Welcome. When is your delivery date? Just curious when the phones that are leaving China now are going to be delivered.

Delivery date is 9/21(Switched shipping address to my work). I ordered my phone at 2:25am(CST).

Last UPS update
Incheon, Korea, Republic of 09/19/2012 11:57 P.M. Departure Scan

Still says on apple "Delivers 9/21 via standard shipping".

Work has been dragging since we have to wait until Friday, I am using an old 3G iPhone right now since i sold my iP4 a month ago.

I am in pretty much the same boat my last update:

Anchorage, AK, United States 09/18/2012 12:58 A.M. Departure Scan

Mine just says: Scheduled Delivery:
Friday, 09/21/2012

It use to say by the end of the day but that has been removed

Funny thing is I am also using my old 3G since selling my 4S 6 weeks ago. Can't wait to get my eyes back on a retina screen again. You don't realize how sharp that screen is until you have to go back to using something that does not have it.

Here as well. If I log into the regular UPS site it has just the date- but if I log into my myUPS site it's saying by 10:30

No sure what's causing it to change I just wish it would start moving closer. I manage our UPS here at my company but have had super bad luck with it as a residential delivery service.

Phones shipping from China today still have lots of time to get to your door by Friday. China is 12 hours ahead of us and as long as your iPhone 5 hits the Worldport hub or one of the regional hubs by late Thursday Evening, Friday is good.

Good point. I am not really worried yet. Although not having a scan since 12:58am on the 18th is starting to wear on my nerves:eek::rolleyes:
