this is exactly correct. 8:01pm Korea's will either somehow bizarrely endup in Louisville tonight or leave Korea early thursday morning, with friday delivery. logistical disaster that we've been sitting there for days.
Got a tip for us?

Who all is still Preparing for Shipment? If so, what model. I'm thinking the ATT Black Plus in 128 is causing grief for all of us.
I have a Verizon 128 matte black plus, still preparing to ship since Saturday.
I almost wonder if UPS, in their haste to get these things out, scanned the first and last pallets of the 8:01 scans. Hence why some are showing scanned and some are not.
Similarly, we won't see a scan in Anchorage because they aren't changing planes.
Just hypothesizing, but makes sense.

This is my exact order and original delivery date. My phone shipped on Monday. I'm currently sitting in Incheon, Korea with the 8:01 P.M. Arrival Scan.
I just want to know if I am working from home on Friday or going in, ugh. Hopefully overnight and tomorrow morning I'll see some UPS updates. Apple.com still has estimated delivery on the 23rd, but UPS has their thumb up their rears and I have "scheduled delivery information unavailable" - despite having paid for the 2hr delivery window Friday. Super frustrating.
Not sure I want to go through this on the iUP next year. This was just a fiasco.

Exact same boat. Also paid for a 2-hour delivery window. Originally said 9/22, then said 9/23 and now it's "unknown"!
That could possibly be what it is. I've seen it done before when I worked in a warehouse. Especially since people were saying supervisors had a phone conference about this screw up.
Same as my situation. No date unless I call automated system or speak to rep. Quick question, looks like flight 99 is delayed from Alaska to Louisville. Should get there at 1:26am at this point (about 45 minutes late). I live in NYC. How would I find out what flight my iPhone would be on to track it so I can see if I will get delivery tomorrow. Unless they are driving from Louisville to NYC. Then I'll never get this phone. Lol. Thanks.
My gut feeling is also that the 8:01 crew will get their phones this week. But if I wake up tomorrow morning and it says it went back to China then I'll probably start bugging out lol
My 7 Plus finally came in today been playing around with it. Hope everyone gets theirs soon!
It would explain why some are seeing scans and some aren't. I have no warehouse/logistics experience. But I definitely know cutting corners.
It would also make sense that we would see scans in Louisville because that's where UPS individually distributes. So they would have to scan individually.
At any rate, the picture should be a lot clearer around 1:30am EDT when UPS99 lands in Louisville.
The next flight from Incheon to Anchorage is in some 14 hours, so that's our next hope. I think that could put it here Friday, if things run smoothly(although this whole debacle is exactly how things do not run smoothly)

Someone else already referenced this, but are we sure the UPS 99 Incheon ==> Anchorage and UPS 99 Anchorage ==> Louisville are the same plane? I have tried to do the math but with time zones and flight times I can't even figure out if it would be possible for the 99 to get back to Incheon from Louisville in time to depart again for Anchorage. Anyone able to figure that out?
I preorder my phone at 3:46 am On 9/9. I still haven't got out of the processing stage yet!!!!!! ATT black 128gb!!!!
UPS99 is route incheon -> Anchorage -> Lousiville. Different planes are used for each leg of the journey.
Its easier to see this if you look at passenger flights. Like you said it doesn't make sense that the same plane would go to incheon -> anchorage then lousiville then incheon
No! Your not alone!! I preorder at 3:46 am on 9/9. I saw on here, some people preordered on 9/10, that phone is near del!!! WTF!!!!!
Holy ****, that's exactly what mine says up to ZZ Arival at 1:05. Hope mine is in Anchorage!
It does seem weird that they would name two different flights/routes the same name number though. There are plenty of other flights/routes from Anchorage to Louisville, but 99 is the only duplication. All others appear to have unique numbers. I think it is possible that there may be more than one plane they use for route 99 (INC->ANC->LoS) and one of those planes does make the complete route each day. So then the 99 that goes to Incheon does also go to Louisville. Then another plane does that route the next time. I don't know. Just an idea.
Same here. Hopefully its actually moving. We'll find out tomorrow i guess. Last time i set my alarm to preorder.
Nope, me too!!

Was the Matte black or the Jet Black the IUP? And which one are you wanting to keep? I think in an absolute worst case scenario you could simply sell the Jet Black online on eBay or something like that. Since we're in the early scarcity stages, I'm sure demand is heavy for bidders.
Well guys and gals, UPS99 is officially enroute to KSDF.

Looks like its going to be even later arriving..... not until 3AM or so. Ugh. I have a bad feeling about this.
