Was there a flight from ZhengZhou to AK today?

ZhengZhou, China 09/22/2014 5:20 P.M. Departure Scan

or did my phone leave on a train to some other location in Asia today? This was over 12 hours ago.
 
is there any particular reason they'd leave the expedited phone just sitting in louisville? because that sucks :(

Eh I have no clue to be honest. I am just trying to cover my ass and not provide wrong information to other people because all the info I put up are for Express shipments (which most of us got upgraded to!)
 
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)

99 scheduled to arrive 1:46 am, cutting it close to making other flights.
 
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. ;)

One status says delayed and one says scheduled for 4:02pm. Let's hope they do take off in time. Then most of the 7:10 crowd will get it tomorrow or Wednesday

There isn't. If you did not have Incheon or Shanghai after ZhengZhou then you're going on tomorrow's or day after flight to Anchorage.
 
I made it to the states safely. whew.....

I have been following this thread almost from beginning. I thought like the others that would get my package by Monday and that's it. But this whole thing has turned into some kind of FBI case report but in a good way. Everybody is trying to find what happened to the phones, putting in different theories, hoping for miracles like delivery by Monday.

So this all made me to make an account. This thread has become my main page to visit every now and then. And honestly speaking I learned many things on the way. Like different cases, how to track flights, watched video about that super UPS Worldhub.

And last but not the least a lot of entertaining episodes of different words and humor. Like I never new about place ZhengZhou, and new-own-made words as Shanghaid, 7:10'er etc. And all this time I was feeling like I was myself going through those phases like waiting for departure as its my own flight to somewhere, and then waiting for next flight.

On a side note... just talked to UPS customer service and got informed that for Pickup at store name and address on the package should match name and address on an Issued government ID.
 
99 scheduled to arrive 1:46 am, cutting it close to making other flights.

The UPS81 is gonna arrive at 1:20am. I think we'll be fine!

Many posters here mentioned that the truck won't leave without goodies from air trailer being loaded to their truck and the air trailers are always the last to come in at 7-8:30am!
 
Mine is still in Zhengzhou but UPS still claims I'll get it on Wednesday? I think not.

Actually Wednesday is possible. Your phone should arrive in Shanghai or Incheon tonight/early morning our time and left Shanghai or Incheon to Anchorage around 5-6am in the morning tomorrow (basically following the schedule for today's batch)

I still have a Thursday delivery as well. Maybe I'll get lucky and get it Wednesday though?


I was shanghaied as well, and have a 9/25 delivery date. I'm trying not to be a jerk and complain about not having an earlier date:rolleyes:

Thats not quite right actually... all three flights won't get in until almost 2AM EDT. Then they'll get on planes for local hubs, gotta figure at least 2 hrs turnaround time.

I'd be pretty surprised if anyone gets these phones by tomorrow night. I'm thinking Wednesday at the earliest unless you live literally next to a hub.
 
I know! We're all so far away. Frowny face.

Do you mean there was no flight from ZhengZhou to AK today? Reading through the thread, it appears our phones must fly to Korea or somewhere else first, correct?

Is it possible to get my delivery tonight like scheduled if it's in anchorage and I live in California? Thousand Oaks?
