I'm one of the Shanghai to Osaka people. With this latest hit Anchorage and they reschedule delivery for the end of day.

Yea right, what next: My phone just came off the factory floor and it's scheduled for EOD. Better yet: They're mining the minerals for my phone and it's scheduled for EOD.
 
7:10 crowd, our plane lands in 2 hours in Alaska, then after a 2 hour layover goes to Louisville. Most will get their phones tomorrow mid-country. East and West Coast will get it Wednesday.


What about the south(New Orleans)?:)..I have a delivery of Thursday, 09/25/2014, By End of Day.
 
Looks like I didn't make the plane out of Korea :(

Lol, maybe they are borrowing the delivery drones from Amazon:p
 
Got a delivery time of tomorrow end of day to Minnesota

Phone is in Anchorage as of 12:43pm. Safe to assume it'll be delayed?
 
UPS99 more good news. Delayed. Just landed in Alaska and status from Alaska to KY was scheduled for 4:02pm now it shows delayed. I'm gonna buy a custom case for my 6 Plus to say "7:10" on it. And when it's time for 6S I'm selling this one for double the price, because for the first time it'll have sentimental value.
 
Flight 81 in Alaska

Alrighty. Thanks buddy!

I know everyone wants their shiny new toy, I'm sure it'll be here by the 25th, as estimated.

Everyone's delivery date will change once the phones land in Alaska. They'll more than likely be pretty accurate then.

My delivery date has always been the 25th and has remained the same even though it is in Alaska now. I was sure it would change for delivery tomorrow since I am in Missouri.
 
Now that all 3 planes have landed in Anchorage, we can talk about the next leg!!

Osaka's UPS105 - Anchorage to Chicago Rockford:
http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS105
Estimated Departure: 3:48pm AKDT (7:48pm ET)

Shanghai's UPS81 - Anchorage to Louisville:
https://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS81
Estimated Departure: 3:38pm AKDT (7:38pm ET)

Incheon's 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.

If you came in from Osaka with UPS105 and don't live around Chicago area, I think our shipments will be unloaded and reloaded to UPS81/99

They will arrive in Chicago and Louisville around midnight and then they will fly to your local airport by 2-3am for 6-7am arrival.

Note that this timeline is for UPS Worldwide Saver Express. If you are under the "Expedited" batch, I don't think it will go from KY/IL hub to your local airport right away (might take an extra day)

Addendum: Someone posted the following: https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/19851811/

Looks like there are OTHER planes going from Anchorage to Louisville (add 4 hours for ET)

UPS109 @ 02:47PM AKDT (this is leaving in 15 mins might be impossible?)
UPS63 @ 03:29PM AKDT
UPS81 @ 03:38PM AKDT
UPS61 @ 03:41PM AKDT
UPS99 @ 04:02PM AKDT

Since all the planes (105, 81, and 99) have landed safely, I think we have PLENTY of chance to board UPS63 or UPS61. Thoughts?

Unbelievable. Thank goodness these are just phones and not something of life saving importance. No offense to our friendly UPS guys on this thread, but I'm done with UPS.

The last dying breath of hope for a delivery tomorrow is done. It was fun to pretend. Wednesday is the next most likely day, but I'm sure there'll be another delay. ;)

is there any particular reason they'd leave the expedited phone just sitting in louisville? because that sucks :(
