I’ve done some more research on the UPS flights. As mentioned in the OP, these are the airports that I think are relevant:

(IATA: CGO, ICAO: ZHCC) Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (large Foxconn plant here)
(IATA: PVG, ICAO: ZSPD) Shanghai Pudong International Airport
(IATA: SZX, ICAO: ZGSZ) Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport
(IATA: SHA, ICAO: ZSSS) Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport

I don’t see any UPS flights from the closest airport, CGO. So that means they are using another carrier for that leg or taking them by truck. According to google, the driving time from Zhengzhou to the other airports in the Shanghai area is approximately 10 hours. Flight time just under 2 hours.

There were two options on 11/2, but if you go by the departure time from Zhengzhou, they would not make the 11/2 options. Anyway, they are (ANC is Anchorage, SDF is Louisville):

UPS 77 SZX 7:10 PM - ANC 12:39 PM, then ANC 2:59 PM - SDF 1:39 AM (11/3)

UPS 81 PVG 9:05 PM - ANC 1:30 PM, then ANC 3:15 PM - SDF 1:11 AM (11/3)

More likely on 11/3 assuming air travel between Zhengzhou and Shanghai - or the departure time was actually earlier than what we see on the scan:

UPS 85 PVG 5:55 AM - ANC 10:08 PM, then UPS 1935 ANC 12:23 AM - SDF 10:17 AM

If there are more scans within a few hours we should have a better idea.

Any chance of a weekend delivery???
That would be amazing, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I suspect they'll only deliver thise that were supposed to arrive today on a Saturday.

Here's hoping we all get a 10:15 departure scan on UPS 99 in the next hour or so!
