Oct. 1 to 6 2014 Delivery Date Orders (Update) Delivered earlier!

I did call Apple and got 2-3 business days shipping. Not sure if that is the reason I have Express Saver or not.

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.

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 are 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!

So I'm in the Saver (Shanghai'd) group and my departure scan is 4:19 which people are guessing is headed to Chicago?? Do you think that's the case? I live 1.5 hours from Louisville, 5 hours from Chi. My delivery date is 9/23.

It doesn't matter if its a SAVER or EXPEDITED. It is just a label in this case. Please just completely forget the label. These are AIR packages. They move very fast overnight when they hit the U.S.
 
I have to say I was frustrated by the wait in ZhengZhou but today I am amazed at the speed of UPS. To watch it go to Korea, change planes, to Alaska, sort and change planes, to Louisville to sort and change plans and hopefully tomorrow to Newark, my local sorting facility and my home. That is amazing. Even if it does not all work as planned I think we should recognize that even if their were frustrating points in the travels. Thanks to those here who work for UPS and also thanks to those tracking the various flights down.

There's a flight from Anchorage to Ontario, CA. Left Alaska at 4:20PM Alaska Time. My Anchorage departure scan was at 3:49PM Alaska Time.

Delivery date still shows as the 25th.

I'm in Rancho Cucamonga, just north of Ontario.

My Q. Do all iPhone-carrying UPS flights have to route through Louisville?
If so, then I guess my phone is on UPS61. I have my fingers crossed that it is going straight to Ontario.

Added: It best not go from Ontario to Louisville and back to Ontario. I will have unkind word for Tim Cook and whoever is the CEO of UPS.

I also believe that much of the issue wasn't UPS and their delivery speed, but rather Apple not handling the paperwork properly to clear the phones to leave China.

I have Express Saver also, but I never called them...

Maybe they just gave it to me since I have one of each product they make? LOL :D

As someone on page 250 stated (who works at UPS), if the phone gets delivered to Louisville tonight it will be processed and shipped to your local airport by tomorrow morning because it's a priority air shipment so both will be there tomorrow! No worries!
