I've been following this thread since Page 1. Very entertaining to say the least and I've finally created an account so I can join in the discussion. My particular phone is in the Incheon flight with a delivery date of 9/25.

I do have a question for those of you who were successful in setting up your UPS MyChoice accounts to hold your packages at the UPS Customer Service Centers.

I also created an account, but for some reason, MyChoice won't recognize that I have a shipment coming in. I can't figure out why I can't do the same pick up arrangement but the rest of you can.

Well I have a problem with MyChoice as well. They're telling me that the MyChoice will not work with a package that originates out of the US for a UPS Store hold... And that they can't put in on Will Call at an UPS Customer Center until it is in the US.
 
Just saw on CNN Russia's jets are flying close to the border again, this time Putin wants to steal our phones, USA sent some fighters to protect them.

Seems legit

Yes I'm bored, can't wait to get my phone lol.

Actually, fighters would come from Kamchatka and Alaska - much closer intercept ;)
 
Flight 99 is scheduled to land and take less than 2 hours to get back in the air on its way to Louisville. I hope that stays true!
 
If I choose to pick it up how do I know what hub it will go to. There's a ups place beside my work

You should be able to call UPS and they will tell you. Note: UPS retail stores are an option but I think you have to pay $5 for that and that might delay your delivery a day.

If you have Mychoice, then I think you can attempt to change the delivery and will tell you before you finish.
I googled 'UPS Customer service center (my city)' and that is the location for my hold.

That's what I've read somewhere and also what I've heard from some people also. However, some people somehow are still able to do it online through MyChoice. I'm really wondering why it works for them and not for us.
 
cant get a really good look at em at all today though, unfortunatly, they are landing on RWY 7R, which comes in over the water.

i Have been out on the maintenance road right up to the end of that runway, about 200 feet from the threshold. you know what its like when a md-11 comes over your head that low!? its awesome! :eek::D
 
Is it possible to ship directly to US from ZhengZhou?

Doubt it. They have to either go to ZhengZhou -> Incheon, ZhengZhoug -> Shanghai, Or Shanghai -> Incheon, or Shanghai -> Osaka before heading to Anchorage.

That's what happened with our stuff earlier today basically.

Hmmm I only ask because there was a post a few pages back of someone with the same Departure time as mine but his eventually got to Incheon while mine is still saying that it was Departing ZhengZhou.

it's possible yours made the plane without being scanned. Assuming that flight 99 continues on to KY without offloading cargo, yours might get scanned when it comes off the plane in KY.

MyChoice will let you do it but it takes away the anticipated delivery date from the screen. I also do not know if it stops updates from occurring per scan - mine was in ZhangZhou at 5:20p like many others but it isn't listed as leaving yet (so either I am not getting updates OR it is still stuck there like some people's).

I would be careful with this... I did it and thought I was gonna pick up my package at a location about 10 minutes from my house...

When I made it through the hold, it told me it would be ready for me at a place twice as far away (in distance and time) in the next city over. I was certainly not closer to that location...

Hopefully that's what happened! :)
 
Here's the current schedule of ups flights from Anchorage to Louisville

Yeah some batch went from ZhengZhou to Incheon directly before going to Anchorage. If yours haven't arrived in Incheon probably will arrive there some time today.

My anticipated arrival day came back on the next scan after choosing to have it held for will call.

Awe boo. I guess I'll have to continue refresh throughout the day to see when it'll get to Incheon. I couldn't find a flight on it either? There was no 5:20PM flight on flightaware.
