Is it a lost cause? Do you think it would be up already?

Flights only appear once an IFR flight plan is filed. That can be done with as little as 30 minutes notice, so I'm not worried about it yet.

Looking through historic stuff, UPS946 or UPS942 are possible flights, but don't appear to be scheduled yet.

What does your tracking page show? Mine hasn't shown anything useful since I told it to hold at the local office.

It's a great source of comedy for my family. They will be sad when I get my phone... the free jokes and laughter will be gone. :D

Any chance of 9/25 being bumped up?

I know Louisville -> San Antonio gets done pretty early in the morning, with enough time for the truck to hit Austin and load it up on the local truck for delivery (Amazon has done this route many times with the 2-day Prime Shipping :) ). But I'm not sure if my 'Expedited' status means it'll sit in KY, or just go on a trailer and head to TX. :(

Hopefully not too early... ;)
 
This is how I'm going to hold my phone when I FINALLY get it. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1411435052.524040.jpg

I'm in the DMV area. 3:49PM departure out of Alaska. Anyone else searching for the route from KY to the DMV?

I'm just trying leave Alaska but mine should be with yours since I'm in the DMV (Capitol Heights)

I'm in the same boat as you. Since I change my delivery to Hold for Pickup mine hasn't changed
 
My phone left Anchorage at 4:07 PM. I guess I'm going to California. That's a bit out of the way to have to go all the way north to Canada.

UPS wont let me hold it or even give me the option and i have mychoice as well. Is it because its being delivered somewhere my UPS MyChoice account doesnt have listed?

Wondering same thing from Houston. Mine shows 9/25 delivery, expedited. It was Ease originally and switched sometime on its 3 day wait in China.
 
Met some interesting folk here. We all have a story to tell. How we obsessed over a 2 day over night stay in China flight tracking to make the FBI scared that some terriost cell is operating to plot against cargo planes.

I'm gonna miss this thread.
 
For those getting Tuesday delivery, did you call and ask for faster delivery?

I'm just not sure why, mine which is on the same plane as you guys would get Thursday delivery, but some here get Tues/Weds. I'm in NY, not guam lol.

Right? I noticed you were in San Antonio! Do you have Saver or Expedited?

Looking at the flight history, it seems to leave KY anywhere between 3am and 4am CST and gets to San Antonio between 5am and 6am CST.

This is the route that my Amazon orders seem to take.. (attached)

As I have explained before in my previous comments. If your phone gets to Kentucky tonight it will be unloaded and processed because it is an AIR package at an AIR hub. It doesn't matter if its express saver or expedited. They are both air packages and they will be sorted and flown to your local Airport early in the morning. From there a semi truck will drive it to your local center and be scanned and loaded in the truck for delivery. The way that express saver and expedited are different is the travel time that it takes to come from another country to the U.S. This is a whole damn plane of iPhones that are urgent Air Packages. People will see after Kentucky sorts and scans that your delivery dates will be pushed up to tomorrow delivery. I am a UPSER and I know for a fact that Ups isn't holding these phones back for any reason. Get them through the system as fast as possible. Have a cold beer and relax people. Wake up early and check your tracking info. K Thanks!
 
If all goes well, and the gods are against that, I'll have my att 128 silver 6+ tomorrow.
Then I plan to drive straight up the interstate to the Apple store to return it so I can buy it again with a different NEXT plan. I wasn't thinking clearly in the frantic 3am ordering and picked the wrong one.
I can only assume I'll have many more issues in that process.

I did not call although debating trying to get a case or headphones but I have a service background and I feel for both the UPS and Apple agents trying to deal with the likes of us ;-)
 
Lol seriously. This thread makes me feel like I work for the NSA with all the tracking and everything haha. Must be fun working there if it's anything like this thread haha.
