You are exactly right. I have a screen capture from earlier today that didn't have that bit of information, but I now have the same information. Must have to do with it entering the US.

I think they're taunting those of us that still have a Thursday delivery.

Not only are we going to fly it right over your head in a few hours, but we're also going to park it in Kentucky until Tuesday evening, and then let it sit at the Seattle airport all day Wednesday until we finally put it on a truck Thursday morning.
 
My #Team710 iPhone 6 Plus finally arrived in AK at 2:17PM. My shipping method says "Worldwide Expedited" but that does mean it still needs to go to KY for distribution?

Delivery date still shows 9/25 to WA.

Continuing from my Stages of Ordering an iPhone:

8. The cautious optimism of seeing some movement in the shipment.
9. The indignation that your iPhone was sitting in a warehouse for 2 whole days!
10. The hope of maybe, just maybe getting your iPhone earlier than the expected delivery date.

Go #Team710!


Team #7:10 here as well, hope ours phone leaves in the next 30minutes... Btw I have world express saver...
 
I got an anchorage departure of 217pm I'm in boston what are the odds it makes it here tomorrow? I selected hold for pickup so even if it misses the morning truck load could I still get it tomorrow? It has tomorrow as an estimated delivery
 
Unless your phone is taking the detour through Chicago to get to Louisville which adds an additional day. But then UPS says that my phone is being delivered today.

I suspect anyone aside from people living in region around Chicago will get their shipment routed there.

One guy who was on the Osaka plane (that's supposed to go to Chicago) got into UPS109 which is to Louisville.

Looks like they unload the shipment in Anchorage and re-load accordingly since Louisville is the Worldhub.
 
Thanks! I went to Cabo San Lucas this summer and that flight was like 1/5 the length and 1 hr 45 mins. I just couldn't see how it would be that fast!

Once at cruise most big jets will be going around 500-600mph. UPS109 is currently listed as 490 kts which is 563mph (multiply kts by 1.15).

When below 10,000 ft planes are restricted to 250 kts, and as low as 200 kts when close to airports. On top of that, the departure / arrival procedures can specify additional speed restrictions.

So a lot of time can be lost that way, which for short flights makes a big difference.

It takes 2-3 hours from Louisville to the east coast by plane...
 
Question:
Anyone else have the departure from AK at 2:17 and their delivery default back to early delivery today, 09/22?!?!?

I mean obviously I know it's not going to be in my hands today, just found it to be odd. Hell, this whole shipment has been odd.

Team 7:10

SoCal resident here. Upon landing at Anchorage, AK, my UPS status updated to "3 business days remaining" which is no change to the 9/25 I originally received.

I hope you all get it sooner!
 
So if my UPS guy consistently shows up later in the day (often like 4-8pm window), have we decided if having it held at a UPS location a few miles from my house is GOOD or BAD?

Meaning I would be able to pick it up in the morning instead of waiting all day for him to deliver in the afternoon?
 
I have delivery 9/23 by EOD ( with hold for pickup)... Since the three flight leaving Anch will arrive in Louisville tomorrow at around 1am.. How will it get to NYC for me tomorrow xD ..


It is possible based on log.
