So this is interesting. I just live chatted UPS because i was wondering when I would see an updated delivery estimate (I had to put in a request to correct my zip code) and she responded with this:

Lorryn C.: That has been corrected it will be out for delivery tomorrow.
Benjamin: Oh, it will? Hmm I'm not seeing that reflected when I track.
Benjamin: That would be great though!
Lorryn C.: It will be updated online shortly. Do you have any other questions?

I'm hesitant to celebrate because I only just got a shipment notification this morning but wanted to post regardless. No idea what plane I'm on.

What is your current status according to ups tracking?
 
My best guess would be for cost reasons. Holding back a partial shipment for more phones that are ready to ship tomorrow.

I imagine they probably have some cutoff on how full they need the plane to be before they bring it to Korea, maybe it wasn't enough?

Seems like a lot of people fell into that category so I'm probably wrong, but I could see something like that happening.
Oh no no no no nooooooooOOOOOOoooooooooo those planes better be creaking under the weight of phones rolling out the butt-end of Foxconn with no end in sight especially when I still don't have a date twelve days after ordering. That assembly line better be running at Ludicrous Speed.

 
Important to note that UPS99 will leave Anchorage for Louisville about 2.5 hours after landing, for arrival at 12am EDT.
Seems that if we're on this flight, tomorrow EOD is a high possibility, depending on where you live.

Edit:time clarification

UPS99 Has been delayed. Holy crap.
Nah - FlightAware just sucks. It didn't take into account the delay upon departure, and it doesn't always use real time radar data, so it only tracked it based upon its initial scheduled departure time, providing estimates.

Now that its back in radar airspace, it realized it was running late and adjusted itself. Not to worry.

Always use FlightRadar24 over FlightAware.

In case our phones aren't on UPS 99, what would be the next UPS flights taking off?
 
Do any of you have a departure scan from Incheon?? Hoping I mine is on this flight....but doesn't show a departure scan...
Nope, many of us are the same. There are only a few posters that indicated they have a departure scan. However, UPS' scans cant be trusted based on several posters, some of who had no scans between China and Louisville!
