Oct. 1 to 6 2014 Delivery Date Orders (Update) Delivered earlier!

Just got preparing for shipment last night. How long is everyone seeing their orders go from preparing for ship to actually shipped?

I'm hoping to get it by this Friday

Only the Osaka flight going to continue to Chicago. The other two are heading to Louisville.

Same thing though they'll all be delivered tomorrow or latest Wednesday.

Do you know the flight # for the leg to Chicago? I am in New Jersey, should I be searching for a flight from Chicago to Newark then since the status still says Tuesday 9/23 delivery.

Thanks!

So this is interesting (to me):

I'm on 105 which is going to Chicago after Anchorage.

But I'm in FL which is usually serviced by the Louisville hub I think.

So... will the phones get transferred in Anchorage?
Or will they fly to Chicago and then take another flight to Louisville, and THEN Orlando?

Or fly on to Orlando from Chicago directly?

So many exciting options in travel.

Ditto. I am in Orlando as well, and I have always had my phone come through Louisville.

Some of ours are taking 6-7 days after "Shipped." Things are backed up at UPS so I wouldn't get your hopes up.

From Anchorage to Chicago they are using the same flight UPS105.

If you look at the history they always arrive in AK around noon time there (5pm ET) and then departed to Chicago some 3 hrs afterwards and arrive in Chicago around Midnight-1am ET ish

Mine sat in Preparing to Ship for about 24 hours. It shipped at 7:30 am and I only knew because UPS MyChoice texted me. It took another 8 hours before Apple said it was shipped.
 
I am hoping that when UPS 105 makes it Chicago my package goes straight to Ontario Ca. Since there is 4 flights daily. I will lose a day of it goes to louisvile then to Ontario.

Interesting, I have a Wednesday delivery date for mine and I live in Vegas myself. I am thinking we are getting delayed from the original Monday dates we had since we are going into Chicago and then they have to transfer the cargo to Louisville to get it to us on the west coast. Louisville has a direct flight to Vegas daily (gets in about 5 am).

Would make sense. Bummer!
 
Ahhh! Finally moved outta ZhengZhou. (i just woke up and missed the party.. of course)

i'll bet everyone has deduced that the Incheon/Seoul phones would probably be on UPS99. ICN->ANC->SDF

i'll be following that MD-11F all morning on Flightradar 24. when it gets close to ANC, pull up Live ATC, its kinda fun to listen to them get clearance from ATC and all the chatter.

That I don't know! Per the UPS guy posting here it looks like from the hub they usually go straight to your local airport and then to the large hub in your state for truck loading

Definitely possible! Not 100% sure here.

I guess I'll add 81 and 99 to my tracking for the fun of it.

About 24 hours for me. So far I've had two Oct 1 - 6 phones that took this long.

Not to be a downer... but I don't see any UPS flight leaving Alaska going to Kentucky today.

It will be scheduled a few hours before it lands in Alask look at the history of the flights to get a gauge of when it will leave large logistics companies as well as airlines do not change thier flying schedule too much even the military is very predictable as far as transport aircraft
 
I'm in Chicago - I was stuck at 7:10 for those 3 days and now I have 2 departure scans. Still hoping for a Thursday delivery.

The only thing that makes me feel better is there aren't any phone available for pick-up in my area...

My order gave me the option to pre-sign for the delivery. Can you do that, too?
Click to expand...

Check your App order status page (not UPS)
There is a gray button where you can Pre-Sign for Delivery.

If I've said it 3 times I'll say it again - STILL "Preparing for Shipment" since last Thursday. No luck on UPS or Fedex finding my shipment. Is anyone else in this bucket? Not Processing, "Preparing for Shipment"
Click to expand...

mine was changed to "prep" since yesterday, I completed my order on the 13th.
 
So where do the Osaka phones go for their flight? I couldn't find any flights from Osaka but maybe I'm looking wrong?
