HK woke up there...! Please let us get departure scans!!!
Got my departure scan at 7:12PM HK time. That matches with flight UPS63 to Anchorage. Check and see if you have the 7:12PM departure scan. If so it is in route to Anchorage. Hoping for Saturday delivery. Hope Apple steps up but won't hold my breathe.
 
Right now, it sounds like your phone is sitting waiting for a flight. Once your package gets a departure scan, the departure time should match closely with a flight leaving from Incheon. Once you depart, let us know what time you left and we can figure this out
Thank you! Only flight I saw leaving from Korea to Alaska was leaving in 3hrs and 35mins but it also said delayed for that one sooo I don't think I'll make that but who knows maybe so maybe not lol we'll see lol
 
So it's looking like deliveries tomorrow - my next problem is that my phone is set to be delivered to my office........ and tomorrow is Saturday. Can UPS reroute or just hold my device? I tried "Changing Delivery" on UPS MyChoice and I get an error message.

What's one more wrinkle in this saga......

I feel stupid to keep checking the Apple Store app - does it send a notification for a change in the order status?
lol I've thought the same thing, but that hasn't stopped me from manually checking. What's worse is when you see people freaking out about flights when yours hasn't even moved from Processing.

Was about to say mine is still processing but just checked and now it's "preparing for dispatch". Still saying "Ships 2-3 weeks" though.

Not too concerned though - this year I didn't have to pay for my phone! :)
 
Finally left Incheon, KR but I can't see many flights. Do you guys know what flight I'm on. It could possibly be 99A??

So at what point do we open a claim with Apple? I have a 11am-1pm delivery window today. I assume obviously it won't arrive since allegedly it's on a plane. *maybe*

Wait until after 1?
 
Per flightaware there are 3 flights from Incheon to Anchorage today. Flight 49 is in the air, flight 99 is taking off in 45 minutes or so, and flight 6099 has been delayed until tomorrow morning (Korea time).

09/23/2016 7:35 P.M. A mechanical failure has delayed delivery. We're adjusting plans to deliver your package as quickly as possible. / Your package was released by the clearing agency.
 
11:39 crew here, a HK departure just showed up at 7:28. I guess they weren't split up, we just didn't get the arrival scan!

I know right - I still keep manually checking anyway, seriously, patience running out.

You can open up the claim after 8 PM tonight. Apple doesn't care about the exact delivery window, just the date
