Yay...ok so what flight do you think its on??? and are you guys still thinking delivery on Tuesday...seems like it awful tight to make it to Weschester, NY if it lands in Louisville 4.00am Tuesday. Normally its on the truck for delivery at around 5.00am

It is UPS105 from Osaka to Alaska. Should arrive in Anchorage around 4:48pm ET and then another 5.5 hours to Louisville which should arrive around midnight-2am ET in Louisville.

Plenty of time to get on the flight to your airport at 4am.
 
still in korea....wtf. lol at least I'm not alone. I am pretty sure most of the 710 crew is there with me.

Seems like the Incheon flight is delayed (the website kept saying "Scheduled" since 1 hr ago when it should have departed). Osaka and Shanghai flight has departed!
 
Mine has been moved to tomorrow, 9/23 as well. While disappointing, the phones will still arrive earlier than Apple's estimate (in my case, 9/25). UPS's tracking system is the big hurt here. It would have been nice if UPS would have updated their tracking system as the delays were actually happening.

Updating everyone's delivery date as 'early' (for 9/22) only to push it back to 9/23 while not updating the tracking system for days is a bit sloppy for a company the size of UPS (with all their technology and resources).

Today would have been perfect to receive it as I have the day off, but oh well. My UPS guy just delivered a Zappos package to me and I told him that I am expecting my iPhone tomorrow, but I am working and will try to be home in time to sign for it. He said, 'don't worry Steve, if it's on my truck, you'll get it tomorrow, I'll come back later at night if I have to before my route is done'.

He's a good guy, and this is why he gets a fat tip every holiday season.

both of our phones have delivery as wednesday, not tomorrow?

one was originally today (which is why i'm home) and the other (that was shipped first) was wednesday.

wonder why some got tomorrow and some wed?

both of our phones have overnight shipping...???
 
WOW ... just F YOU UPS.

It really is going to take 6 days for them to get from China to USA. Unbelievable.

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
 
How is this botched? It's a very sucessful high demand product. These things happen, and I'm sure if yours was delivered day 1 while everyone else waited 2-3 weeks, you wouldn't call it botched.

So your contention is that Apple made absolutely no mistakes with regard to the preorder process? That's what your saying?
 
Oh oh. UPS Flight 99 out of Incheon, Korea delayed with no updates. Great, here we go again. Maybe it's another security scan.

Let it be known, that just because its delayed doesn't mean its not going to be wheels up sometime today. flightaware is saying 10.14 departure. nevermind its an hour late

More enhanced pat-downs of the iPhones?

I would rather have not learned Friday that my phone had shipped, that way I could have skipped an entire weekend of refreshing UPS and reading this discussion. Let me know on Monday, when the Thursday arrival date is closer.

It's 10:14pm Korea time which is 1 hr ago :confused:

I'd rather those idiots at Apple wouldn't have put my phone "preparing to ship" on Thursday so I could have just gone to the store and picked one up like so many others have. LAST time I'm pre-ordering. Never again.



:apple:
 
I hope it takes off soon. the longer the wait we'll miss the flight out of Alaska to Louisville. i have a theory. Maybe UPS wants to spread out the 3 flights so they all don't come in all around the same time in Alaska. So they held up flight 99.

GET THAT BIRD UP IN THE AIR!!!!!
