LOCATION DATE LOCAL TIME ACTIVITY
ZhengZhou, China 10/31/2017 10:39 P.M. Departure Scan
---------
Both phones out at the same time. Things are happening here people!

Just checked my reference as well! Same departure time! It's happening! lol we are all going crazy over a phone we've already paid for hahahahaha
 
Similar state: Order In Progress

Looking forward to the upcoming state changes!

While the status of the order hasn't changed, there is now new text alongside "Order In Progress": Check-in window: Friday, November 3, between xx:xx p.m. and xx:xx p.m.
 
My iPhone is also trapped in China. As of now, it hasn’t been scanned departure.

I called UPS this morning and they were less than helpful. I’ll try Apple.

Thank you for your help!

You're welcome, no problem.

Update : I contacted Apple as my IPhone is still in China according to UPS.

Here’s their response “I see that this order is on the expedited shipping and we still have the commit delivery date here as November 3rd”

Not much help. Btw - this is Silver, Verizon, 64, IUP ordered through the App Store.

Is this the first time you've ordered something through Apple?
 
oh okay, because they do shipping like this every year for a new phone lol

Thanks. I just don’t trust UPS

My tracking looks fishy too:
10/29 5:13pm - orgin snan
10/30 1:20am - departure scan
10/30 1:35am - arrival scan (same place )

Not sure if anyone else had that happen.

UPS is great for ballpark events.

Try flightaware.com for more of an exact schedule.

Oh, that’s new to your order? I saw that check-in window since I ordered on Friday. So sadly nothing updated for me... Its still “Order in Progress” for store pickup :(

I’m hoping for my iPhone to hitch a ride on this flight....

Open to feedback on the realistic nature of this. Crush my dreams gently though!

Definitely a cargo flight from China to Anchorage - it very likely could be on the flight.

[doublepost=1509497376][/doublepost]I’m glad I’m not the only one getting the jitters about my phone and location. All my buds think I’m crazy cuz I’m constantly checking my phone for updates status from Apple and flights it’s on. Just glad to know it’ll be in the states in the morning when I wake up. Few more days and it’ll be in our hands making our friends jealous who weren’t able to get theirs. Weird tho cuz my buddy ordered his 30 seconds after me and his doesn’t come til 17-24th. He has T-Mobile and I have AT&T. Did AT&T and Verizon get priority?

Departure scan : 11/1 8:45am !!!!!!! (Cue dancing)

Looks like we might have been right. Thanks

Re-posting the flight info in case my iPhone has other friends on the plane

Still no message from Apple with tracking information and UPS has yet to update change in location from China to Anchorage - par for the course.

The phones never left the plane. Anchorage was just a fuel point and to drop packages off for anyone in Alaska or Canadian region. Our arrival check in will be updated once it lands in Kentucky and all the boxes get unloaded to be sourced out and put on trucks or other planes to the regions. I’ve seen this happen and heard of it by people that work at FedEx. If packages don’t get off, they won’t scan the masses for each saying they’ve arrived on a layover point.

Thanks - appreciate it. Mine is coming via UPS but same principle. I have been looking for flights going to Louisville from ANC.
