Based on previous posts, it looks like those whose orders were delivered within 24 hours of leaving Korea had flights with an earlier departure time than UPS97. So IF - and that is a big if - we are actually on UPS97, I think Monday is the most likely delivery date.

EDIT: looks like we were thinking the same thing, PastaPrimav

Assuming that we’re all on UPS97 with the final destination to Louisville.....
What if it arrives in Louisville on Friday morning like it’s supposed to? Any luck of getting out of distribution and to your local hub and to your driver by the end of the day?

I'm not familiar enough with UPS shipping times. However, I would imagine that it is possible, but unlikely. Monday seems like a better bet to me.
 
Is UPS99 actually going to Ontario after Anchorage? Not sure I'm reading Flight Aware right, but that might be why none of us were on that vessel.

UPS97 taking off in a few minutes! Good luck everyone.

That’s what I thought. I don’t see why we ended up getting the later flight to Louisville with UPS97 if we end up on that plane in the next few minutes

Mine is not the 11-17 to 11-24 date but I had a delivery date of Dec. 01-07, but received an email that both of my 256gb Black iPhone X is shipped out already. I just checked the tracking and it should be here later today. So not sure how they are distributing the pre order but I'm not really complaining cause I'm receiving mine sooner than later.

This is what I am talking about. I mean what the hell Apple/UPS?!?! Nothing against you man, glad you received your phone early, however, this shows it seems the random distribution of pre-orders!

:apple:
 
i haven't seen anyone else mentioning their phone on the same route as mine... mine went from Shenzhen to Hong Kong, sat in Hong Kong for 4 days, but just bounced through Taiwan and has already arrived in Anchorage all in one day. The rhyme/reason of the travel itinerary and delays is beyond me. Fingers crossed for delivery tomorrow.

Can you clue me in on the two-hour window thing? I've been a member of My Choice for a while but just learned of this the other day. I can pick what two-hour blocks throughout the day to have it delivered? Or is it typically restricted to times when my UPS driver is in my area? Like 2-4 and 4-6, etc. My driver typically shows up around 4 p.m., but if I could get that sucker in the morning on Monday I would be a fly on sh...

In the My Choice Delivery Planner (the calendar view), it showed my phone to be delivered today. When I click on the planned delivery of the phone, somewhere in that screen UPS showed an estimated window of 1pm to 5pm. I then went in a selected a two hour window. Not a big choice (1-3, 2-4, 3pm-5pm). BTW, my delivery date (in My Choice Delivery Planner) just got pushed to next Tuesday.

I don't think so, and UPS is telling us as much right now. Hopefully, they actually leave Louisville Friday at all. Based on UPS current estimate, it looks they expect to leave Louisville on Monday, delivery on Tuesday.
 
Mine just had a departure scan of 7:15am 11/17/2017

With still no delivery date!


I hate UPS

5AD4C184-A976-4C7E-897C-ADE9ECEBEA77.png Wish UPS97 had been the earlier flight today. Let’s see what happens when we get to Louisville. But I’m thinking I won’t get my get my phone tomorrow because the flight out of Louisville to Los Angeles is at 4:30 pm EST. By the time it arrives in Los Angeles and gets to the driver, it will be too late.
