The phones are most likely at world port in Louisville, from there they can pretty much get anywhere in around 5 hours, that's if they haven't moved to your regional hub already. My UPS rep said apple asked UPS to stop visual trackability of these shipments due to the amount of calls they were generating to apple, carriers and UPS

Thats annoying. Apple just sent me my tracking email but it doesn't say anything different when I track it.
 
You have 100's of millions of dollars worth of iPhones grouped together on thousands of pallets. They will not reveal exacts of where the phones are sitting. They likely have armed guards protecting this shipment just incase. They will appear when the time is near, and your tracking information will update when this mass of iPhones disperse from the hub they are currently in.

Mine is still stuck at departing Alaska at 12:58am on the 18th lol. Gotta love UPS, why couldn't Apple have stuck with the better courier.. Oh well :p

Custom Clearance is completed at the first port of entry into the United States, not at a HUB. Logistics is my business, it's what I do everyday, with that said I am sure UPS had already sent the manifest ahead of landing.

I am impressed how you people tracked it down to the plane tho!!

You'd be surprised. As much as I bitch about UPS, I haven't had them be late on a package. And I've tracked a package where I thought it was way too far to be delivered the next day (and this was ground, not express) and it travelled overnight on a truck, got there, and put on the delivery truck to be delivered that day. Just cause their hours that we can go to their hubs are only open so many hours a day doesn't mean they don't operate 24 hours a day.

But, I will say APple picked the perfect carrier for not delivering early, if you like to track your packages as much as I do (and end up using UPS a lot cause they're always the cheaper option than FedEx), you'll notice that UPS never delivers before the date they promise. I've also seen packages get to my city and just sit there for a day or two and only be put on for delivery the date they promise. I am pretty sure it's a practice of theirs (Where as FedEx and USPS will get it there as quick as they can, which is why I prefer those two. Plus they both have options for picking up on Saturday, and hell, USPS delivers on Saturday, no extra charge. People pan USPS but honestly, I think they do a pretty good job as well as in general being the cheapest option to ship. That's who I use to ship stuff. My friend's mom had an ebay business and she said she found USPS was the one least likely to damage packages she sent out, UPS was apparently the worst of the three).

(and to be fair, I've never had an issue with any of the three damaging or losing my packages, maybe I'm just lucky. Though I do think when my mom send my iPad to me through UPS, the box was a little damaged but not enough to damage the iPad. Oh wait, USPS one time did manage to mess up a package and I'm sure they were pretty annoyed too cause it was shampoo and my mom lied to them about no liquids in the package... My preference just has to do with who gets me the package quickest and is easiest for me to get the package. UPS really fails on this one for not getting it there as quick as they can and for making it really hard to do stuff like pick it up instead and not having many options of where I can pick it up and no options for saturday places to pick up).

Yaaaay landed in Oakland
Click to expand...

I thought mine had been on the flight to Sacramento, Oakland would have made more sense than where it did end up.. Nope, its in Ontario some 400 miles South of me.

UPS has me confused at this point but they know logistics better than I do and the estimated date and time hasn't slipped so I guess it'll make its way to northern california at some point.

Ontario is a HUGE hub, that's why. There was probably a bunch of iPhones from various parts of Cali on there.
