Roll call - Oct. 4th - Oct. 10th original ship date

Kind of thought we'd see delivery dates established once it landed in Anchorage since its now stateside. Wondering if they are trying to process who would get Saturday deliveries. I'm assuming some locations it just won't be available.

I think they are going to wait until the last possible moment to give dates. Probably only after it leaves Louisville. IMO.
 
If you're talking about an updated delivery date.....don't think so. I think maybe one person so far has received an updated date but none of us that just arrived in Alaska an hour and a half ago. I was hoping we would see updated dates but most likely won't be until tonight when they arrive in Louisville and get import scanned.
 
Those of us with an Anchorage arrival scan of 10:41 am, when do you think it will be on the way to Louisville?
 
Just got off the phone with United Piece of Shipping. Lol
No Saturday delivery. Apple had it setup to only be business day delivery.

maybe already mentioned but a snippet from an Apple Insider article:

"Apparently, the ongoing Hanjin freight company bankruptcy delayed some containers full of iPhones and Apple Watch models from arriving in time for the September 16th launch. Apple Insider says that an “unnamed tech company” paid some of the outstanding shipping port fees on the US Pacific coast for Hanjin vessels so that they can dock and offload Apple cargo."

A little insight into part of our situation...

Boat or plane? I figured they only shipped in the air.
 
I spoke with the UPS guy who delivers to my place of work today. Asked if they do Saturday delivery or not and he replied that they did and rattled off the different levels of packages that would qualify.

I told him about what was going on with our deliveries this week and he said hasn't heard anything that specified Apple deliveries this weekend BUT there were messages sent out to everyone over the last couple of days asking if anyone wanted to volunteer to work tomorrow. He said those messages are usually only asked of the part time workers but when they're asked to the full time guys as well it's always because of a high volume of deliveries that has to go out on Saturday.

Take it with a grain of salt but it is somewhat encouraging to hear. Btw...this area is for the Chicagoland area that the messages went out to.

I got my Anchorage arrival, however I think I'm done with this. Just picked up a 128GB 7Plus in Matte Black from a Apple store on a reservation. Likely just returning the Jet Black unless it happens to arrive by tomorrow which seems unlikely considering it just got to ANC. Just got tired of #Shipgate! But, it has been fun. Good luck to everyone, hopefully Monday for most for an arrival.

I had a 2:25 departure from Incheon. Now the UPS app on my phone says it arrived in Anchorage at 1:38 PM Alaska time (about an hour ago) but the web site doesn't show it arriving yet. Strange. I've refreshed a couple of times.

Give it a bit of time. Took about 45 minutes for it to show up for me.

Aaaaand never mind. Just saw your 2nd post.
 
I got a 1:38 arrival just now in alaska with a 2:25 departure. Is that...possible? I'm too tired to think about time zones.
 
Anyone have any idea when/what plane is leaving Anchorage next? That would give us a rough estimate of when it will arrive in Louisville and then possibly when they go out to the hubs from L'ville.

Thanks in advance!

I see 6 flights going out within the next hour. One took off a few minutes ago.
