Just left Osaka. Bumped all the way from Monday to Wednesday delivery. Anyone else in the same boat or are you all getting Tuesday?

UPDATE!!!
3 flights heading to Alaska now

UPS105 Osaka to Alaska:

UPS81 Shanghai to Alaska:
http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS81

UPS99 Incheon to Alaska (Scheduled but not yet departed despite schedule saying 10:14 Korea time which is an hour ago):
http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS99
Delayed per: http://www.airport.kr/airport/flightinfo/IhCargoDepStatusList.iia?gubun=E (Look for 5X099... current estimated departure is 11pm which is 30 minutes ago :rolleyes:)

Upon arrival in Anchorage it's another 5.5 hours ride to Louisville, KY hub (Except Osaka flight seems to go to Chicago after Anchorage) so I think it should be there around midnight - 2am on Tuesday 9/23. Then per our resident UPS guy (flyingwasabi) it should board 4am flight to your local airport and then loaded to the truck by 7am for delivery!!
 
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:

That's my biggest issue, the purposely put in preparing to ship, then just sat them for 3 days.
 
I called UPS and asked them if they could put my package on a hold so that I could pick it up from the store myself. They transferred me around 4 times to four different departments. First to a tracking department, then to the international shipping department, then to the Apple UPS department and then to another department. At the end I couldn't get it done because my phone is still in Korea and it needs to enter the US before I can request a hold. So i got to call them when it reaches Anchorage.
 
Excited to see my phone take off from Shanghai! :)

Still hope it can get here a little quicker than Thursday...
 
According to the site, though, it looks like the plane often departs well after it's scheduled time, doesn't it?

Scheduled: 09:55PM KST
7-day average: 10:45PM KST

May just be par for the course at Incheon.

Awesome info. Keep it up.

I've been sitting on that since the day I preordered and I'm stuck waiting till October 2nd for some crazy unknown reason. Att and Apple dropped the ball big time!

You can do it on the UPS website without calling anyone.
 
So then to where from Chicago? Local airports?

Well, yeah. That too. If I'd simply had set it to pick up in store I'd be done by now.
 
Oct. 1 to 6 Delivery Date Orders (Update) Shipping earlier!

Mine finally left Shanghai at 9:13 pm. Any way I can find what plane it's on?
