no flight flies straight to louisville, it has to stop there to clear customs, a ups rep told me that would be the only possible delay besides weather etc, and since these are iPhones and I'm sure customs is busy looking at millions of these passing through there we shouldn't have a problem clearing. my phone is on that flight with you guys as well, does anyone know when the next flight is leaving from alaska to louisville?
Got a tip for us?

Scroll up, rofl.
On a side note, I pity the Alaskan US Customs guys who have to go past millions of these things LOL

Yeah, I saw it right after i posted. Thanks
my iPhone has been sitting in Louisville since yesterday at 0900
Mine too. I think theyre on hold so that they would be delivered on the 14th and not prior to that.
after seeing all this, it's kind of amazing it's free shipping
I thought the same.

NOOO... Kidding! Well, free for us, I am sure that Apple pays nicely or it is built into the cost of the phone.
I know the controller at Louisville, should I put a word in to prioritize the landing?

Actually, I don't think it costs Apple even 10$ per order to ship that many iPhone's in bulk. As a side note, they also get a faster customs clearance.
I work in small sort at the Louisville ups hub( all smalls packages), they have made it clear Thursday we will get killed with apple.Thursday mornings start time has been moved from 11am to 7am and 3rd shift from 1215 to 1015pm. Some iphone4s actually slipped through last night as well....
In transit doesn't mean that it is going directly to Louisville, it just means that is where it is headed right now. UPS's major hub is in Louisville.
Im with you guys as well with the 12:50 to KY
Anyone got their order shipping details on apples page yet though? Mine is still "preparing to ship" Do they only send the emails once in the US or something?
The iPhone i ordered from AT&T shows shipped on their site but when i search the tracking number in UPS it says unavailable
I ordered from Apple and At&t and both are using UPS. Looks like AT&T is using both Fedex and UPS depending on your location.
Apple Online @1:30am-2:00am on October 7th, and I just got my SHIPPED email at 4:31pm and it's in Anchorage, AK right now. Delivered by UPS NLT October 14th BY END OF DAY...(I hate ups)
Same here, I wonder if I can pick my package up at my local UPS early?Apple Online @1:30am-2:00am on October 7th, and I just got my SHIPPED email at 4:31pm and it's in Anchorage, AK right now. Delivered by UPS NLT October 14th BY END OF DAY...(I hate ups)
I'm hoping they delivered in the AM (8:30am by FEDEX a day early last year's iPhone 4), but I've never seen UPS deliver earlier than 7pm at my house...
Cheers! 
i think its this flight
