Wow, I could've sworn that said "PANIC"
and I was like "HOLY SH** WTF IS HAPPENING TO MY iPHONE THAT THE UPS PAGE SAYS PANIC!"
Then I blinked, and read that it said "PANC"
How do you even know that is the correct flight??

We don't but its the only registered flight operated by UPS from Hong Kong to anywhere in the US so its a good bet, and the departure scan/departure time match fairly well especially given the 40 min delay.
Sorry but this is a direct to customer shipment that's why each of us has an individual Tracking number with a scheduled Delivery Date.
This Time UPS gets the credit for the "Early Delivery"....
Dave
They can't clear customs in AK, they have to go to Worldport first, sorry but that is why the delivery dates for the west zones are for the 18th instead of the 17th, it takes another hop to get to you this way.
Dave
now THAT would be nice.... but considering our delivery day is a day later than all the east coaster/mid-westerners.... i doubt it's gonna happen

It should be at our houses at the 18th. No earlier.
Why?
Because (This is all in Eastern Standard Time):
It is 5:25 now, that means it should land in AK around 5:35. Then it takes off around 8:00 (PM). Arrives in Kentucky around 6:00 AM (Make it 5:30 if you really want to prove that you can get it tomorrow)
Then it will go to your regional hubs, arrive around 6:30 (At the earliest).
Then from the regional hubs, it goes to your local hub (Arrive around 8- EARLIEST). That is to say it will arrive at your local hub if there's no waiting time in between Kentucky, and your regional hub, and no waiting time between your regional hub and your local hub, and no waiting time to get it on the truck.
I'm going to go with y'all getting it on the 18th, No matter how much I want it tomorrow

...hope she can't find her shotgun shells :/
For those with UPS knowledge....
Do they actually scan the packages in AK? Or will we not even see any more scans on our tracking number until they get to KY?

You should see a scan in Alaska. (Unless they're taking the same plane back into the U.S, then you won't).
If they take a different plane, then you will see a scan for the package leaving the current plane, and entering the second plane. (Origin, and Departure scans on your trackers)

Alaska to Kentucky doesn't take 10 hours...5 at the most!
We can very possibly see deliveries tomorrow depending on your location.
Some hill-billy who doesn't even give a sh*t is gunna have his iPhone first, while we are on these forums just itching to see that delivery guy roll down our driveway (On the 19th)!

Except they're supposed to land in Kentucky at 1:06am, not 6:00am...
