He's on his own with that prediction

Anyone stuck in Incheon (#Team520) get a departure scan yet? Looks like UPS99 is delayed. I'm gonna lose it if our phones don't make it out of Incheon today...
No
Still nothing. Le sigh ...OK, so the planes are loaded with these shipping containers that load 2 side to side and then a bunch from front to back of the cargo area of the plane. They need to take these shipping containers out 2 at a time down a scissor lift, physically drag them into the building, put a human being inside of it to toss all the packages onto a conveyor belt until it's empty, then grab the next one. They don't have the luxury of picking the order they do them in. They have to do them in the order that they come out of the plane since they're loaded very tight.

Yeah, I'd love to know where he got the majority from, is he in KY now?
I got the 3.23pm scan. While I am in no way suggesting you are wrong, it seems real quick to scan at 3.23pm and be airborne at 3.35pm. Does it happen that fast ?. Pretty bizarre flight plan too
Flight bound for Newark leaves in 10 minutes. Here's to hoping i see a departure scan
Do you have zee import scanz??
Mine has to go to Newark as well. But no Import Scan.
I don't know how many "guarantees" you've thrown around this thread all day but you're starting to sound like a used car salesman...

My NYC JFK flight jus left
, the scan instant this time whe the plane flew offThis is such utter BS it boils my blood. I paid the exact same $$ for my phone as the Saver people did. Why in the heck did Apple/UPS slap me with an additional day wait when I was up all night pounding F5 along with the Saver people?!
Last. Apple. Pre-order. For. Me.
Completely Agree. People who ordered after me already have there's. Why do some get special delivery and others don't
The plane suppose to leave at 3:46 I guess it left abit earlier and our it should be right because once the plane started the route my depart scan showed up instantly
I am hoping once he gets to work he will be able to make a few discrete inquiries and see what happened.

Maybe. I had an arrival scan in Incheon at 7:56 PM but then had two departure scans from Shanghai at 11:24 PM and 12:03 AM. So at this point, I have absolutely no idea where my phone is. My expected date has never changed though so I'm hoping somehow it will be waiting for me tomorrow morning at my local UPS.
No
Still waiting. Don't worry you guys. We have to be on here, theres no one behind us lol.. WE ARE THE CABOOSE.
Just got a departure scan at 3:29 PM. I am assuming that I am on UPS 2560 to Minneapolis: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS2560
I really think that my phone will leave Kentucky at 5:00 am eastern and arrive in Jackson MS at 5:00 am central. I also do not think that it will get on a truck for delivery tomorrow - I think they will hold it at the loader location and put it on a truck on Thursday.
My question for you fine people is that if I see a destination scan for my hometown in the morning and then do not see "Out for Delivery" by 9am, can I then change my delivery to Pick Up at UPS? And go get it Wednesday afternoon instead of having to wait on the truck to come all day Thursday?
I am sure this has been asked and answered 1000 times already - I apologize in advance!

Do we have an option to pickup anywhere tonight. I do have the UPS choice thing, but is there anywhere in Brooklyn to get it ?
Just general knowledge of how UPS operates after 15 years with the company. We tend not to pile stuff up in a corner because the next day there will be even more piling up. We work until the job is done unless there's some factor that precludes getting everything out that day, like weather, etc.
For example, I typically work a 4 hour shift, but I have had days where I've worked 13 hours during the holidays because we had to get everything out. Obviously stuff can go wrong. Your plane could crash so I can't say anything with 100% certainty, but if you're picturing a UPS building as an empty warehouse with room to stack giant palettes of iPhones, you're not picturing it correctly. Watch as many people get departure scans the next 2 hours and hope you're one of them. Like I said, I'm right there with you. Frustrating that my phone is one of the ones with no activity since last night, but I know that they're operating on all cylinders there right now, because as soon as they finish this batch there's hundreds of more batches behind it.
When you do pick up, they give you 5 days to pick it up.. It starts at the delivery date
Flying wasabi's info has been far better, more cautions, and less definitive sounding than the techedude troll. Techedude was trolling from the get go with a day old account and has not appeared since his "promises" turned up wrong. If you don't want to subject yourself to insight or beliefs from other users as to whats going on than don't read this thread. However, let's be real, each one of us in neurotic enough about these phones, the shipping, etc. to be checking this thread. Just breathe.
