What's funny is it shows up on the UPS app on my phone with delivery dates for both orders I submitted the hold request for but when you click on the entries it says delivery date not available.
Got a tip for us?

I think my phone is on some invisible flight, or the times are wrong on UPS. My last two scans were...
Shanghai, China 09/22/2014 9:40 P.M. Arrival Scan
ZhengZhou, China 09/22/2014 8:40 P.M. Departure Scan
I can't find a flight today from ZhengZhou to Shanghai with anything close to those times except for passenger planes. Maybe my phone is being hand delivered. Lol. Or I wonder if I'm actually on UPS81 that left at 9:38 P.M. That would be nice.

I'm in the same boat as you. I have a departure scan of 5:20pm today(9/22) from ZhengZhou...
Everybody with an iPhone on flight 81; its leaving anchorage for Louisville tonight!

So yeah... this is what is confusing me. MyChoice allowed you to arrange a hold for the package while some of us are not given that option because it does not register the incoming package. That really puzzles me.
Needless to say, UPS105 will be landing in Chicago/Rockford just a few minutes after midnight tonight, central time.

I don't see a UPS105 flight from Anchorage to Louisville, Might get added later on unless there changing cargo to another plane maybe

Quick Update
Looks like UPS has added the next leg of the flight for all 3 of our planes.
UPS105 Anchorage to Chicago Rockford:
http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS105
Estimated Departure: 3:48pm AKDT (7:48pm ET)
UPS81 Anchorage to Louisville:
https://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS81
Estimated Departure: 3:38pm AKDT (7:38pm ET)
UPS99 Anchorage to Louisville:
http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS99
Estimated Departure: 4:02pm AKDT (8:02pm ET)
Each of them are about 5 hours flight so each of them will arrive in Chicago and Louisville around Midnight per my post above.
I was able to have my phone held through My Choice and their website early on in the process. Definitely before spending the weekend in Shanghai. It did jack with the scheduled delivery date for at least a day, but it has returned to 9/25, which it has been since I first found the tracking. Definitely enjoying this thread. Misery loves company!
6+ Space Gray 64 gig AT&T. Ordered on the Apple IPhone app. Received my confirmation email at 3:06 AM CST (9/12).

I'm in the same boat as you. That was not a flight, it was a train. My iPhone arrived in Shanghai at 9:40am. Missed the plane out, and I think there is only 1 plane out per day...
iPhone 6+ just left Japan
Well my iPhone has now arrived in and left Japan!!!!
Still being delivered Tuesday, I hope!!

You can check the history of the each flight number and UPS105 has been flying "Osaka >> Anchorage >> Chicago" for the last 3 weeks or so.
I believe UPS105 is also carrying a large supply for Apple Stores because if I remember correctly, Apple actually mentioned that all in-store units come in through Chicago.
Im just totally bummed out when my phone left china this morning around 10AM and is en route to AK then to Louisville and I'm located inside louisville but will not receive my phone till thursday. 
Same shipping info here as well! I had a 9/25 delivery date until this AM... when it updated to departed from ZhengZhou at 5:20pm the scheduled delivery updated to 9/26. Sad, but it's still better than the October delivery date that I was originally given.
Hey y'all.. I'm in the 5:20PM 9/22 group:
ZhengZhou, China 09/22/2014 5:20 P.M. Departure Scan
ZhengZhou, China 09/20/2014 7:58 P.M. Arrival Scan
If I'm on EST, that means my phone left at 5:20AM, my time, correct? And its 4PM already here..
BUT where is my phone?? A lot of people checked in over Korea but ours haven't yet and it is currently over 10 1/2 hours past the shipment's local departure time at Zhengzhou. Isn't there a 24 hour change along the way to Anchorage? Will it go straight to Anchorage?
Also, I am very upset that my delivery date, which was a very modest Thursday 9/25, was moved to Friday 9/26 upon the departure scan update. Which doesn't make sense considering other people are near me on their departure but are going to receive it tomorrow or Wednesday. I live in Michigan which is east coast but kind of tucked away.. Still..
Who else is in my group?

I don't know what to tell you... I had mine held pretty soon after I got the tracking info. By the time it reached Shanghai, it updated and had the same arrival date as before - 9/25

Same here
Where is your phone being delivered to? NC coast here.Apple mentioned about a week or so ago that many flights are coming in through Chicago. My guess is they're using the same logic from the 1800s that Chicago can be used as a hub to disperse goods throughout the area from the center.
Well that's dumb. Who uses a train anymore?! That's like sending a letter instead of email. China needs to work their way into the 21st century already. Lol.
