As of right now it's scheduled to land at 1:18am eastern time, but that can fluctuate a few minutes either way. Depends on weather and actual air speed and such.
So if it lands 1:18am, then do you think there is a chacne it reaches So Cal before 4am?
This whole process has been nuts. Delayed ordering on launch night, Oct 4-10 delivery notice yet folks walking into an Apple store get phones before the pre-orders. Fine.
Then an "early" delivery notice.. only to have the stuck in Inchon nonsense. Then the (pick one) weather, mechanical, etc reasons for further delay.
So, decided to just purchase at the local Apple store but..... the reservation system doesn't work (confirmed issue with Apple support).
Went to the Best Buy next door to the Apple Store and picked up a Galaxy Note 7 (non-exploding battery feature).
So I voted with my feet and went with the competition. We'll see if I can stand/accept using the Android phone; I can always give it to my son. Regardless, I'm returning the iPhone 7+.

They could get our phones off that plane and to the west coast in time to get on a truck.. Now if that happens or not...we'll see! That plane lands at about 10:20pm west coast time so they could get it over here with time to spare...
This is likely the flight you're concerned about. Doesn't arrive until 5:08am in Ontario.

But here's a full list of flights from Louisville tonight so you can see if there is another city that might be more likely for you. Goes for anyone else that might find this useful.

Crap...the 2nd link doesn't work like it should. What I did was just a google search for UPS flights from Louisville and it took me to that site and I put in search criteria for tomorrow morning midnight to 6am and it gave me a full list of all the flights.
Had a departure scan from Anchorage @ 16:11 local so maybe it'll make it for Monday after all.
Been playing with my BLU R1 HD that came today from Amazon - needed a cheap Android device to play with ODBEleven for my Golf R. In all this fun it's nice to be reminded that Amazon can still ship me stuff next day every day of the week.

Anyone here from around Austin, TX ? My phone's part of the group that left Anchorage around 4 PM. I am assuming its on its way to Louisville, however, I can't find any UPS flights from there so I guess I will get my phone on Monday at the earliest 
Well done. We as loyal customers shouldn't have to stand this, but as long as we keep buying all their phones they won't care. Mine is also going back as soon as it gets here.
Well it has been a crazy ride. Stayed up to order at Apple App Store on the 9hh only to have the whole thing not function until 12:03 and by the time I checked out its 12:04 with a October 5-12th delivery. Finally got out of processing hell last Friday evening only to be put into PFS hell. After what felt like forever my phone finally made it to me. It definitely wasn't a smooth 2 weeks for me but I am happy it's finally over
I thought my phone wouldn't come in until Monday but UPS driver pulled through and gave me my phone 5pm today. It's nice to have a supportive group of people on the forum, my friends/family irl doesn't understand and they thought I was crazy over a phone.
Good luck guys! And see you all next year.

Definitely a little jealous...ok maybe a lot.
I work for one of the largest companies in America. If corporate wants us to give customers a response. Without telling the customer the truth. We have a meeting and we are told. What to say to a customer that has questions. Why can't Apple and Ups get their Sh*t together. Lol
Too many lies looks bad.

UPS 908 arrives to LA/Ontario from Louisville at 5:08am tomorrow morning
Beyond a shadow of a doubt. My favorite quote by far.Just finished chat with Apple, take this for what its worth. I had a delivery date of today from them. Originally it was the 21st from UPS. So once the delays started happening the 23rd definitely seemed more realistic. Since UPS is off in never-never land this week though that didn't happen. I'm sure Apple pays them a crap ton of money though so I would think they have some pull when it comes to dates that are missed by this much. Some may say well its not that much but in reality UPS originally gave the 21st so its now 2 days past due for them. Apple as we know puts a cushion in everything.
So I basically wanted to know if they were pushing for Saturday deliveries, this was the main response-
Not to worry! I know the carrier may not have come by yet, but if there has been any delay in receiving it today, based on the tracking we're set to have that delivered tomorrow without a shadow of doubt. I deeply apologize for the missed expectation in receiving that, but the priority is definitely to get that in your hands as soon as we're able. If necessary, we can get a pre-sign for the delivery tomorrow so that there's no further headache!
Now I love the term "without a shadow of a doubt". Yesterday the rep assured me that it would be here today, so take that with a few grains of salt

haha I said the same thing very early this morning when my phone arrived in HK, clearly going the wrong way. Some dude is sitting there saying watch this, Im going to scan this bundle in HK, people are going to go nuts!
I'm hoping for a delivery tomorrow but I seriously doubt they'll bump us or anyone up for Sat. I think some reps are saying that to calm the anger some people are throwing at them over the phone/chat. It is possible for us if they wanted to though. Here's the tracking for my watch I got delivered this week, which btw was delivered a week earlier than stated by Apple. Sucks I was originally quoted by UPS for delivery Wed but not super stressed about it. There's far worse things that could happen in life.

Anyone know how to determine what flights are scheduled to leave Louisville tonight? Curious to see when my phone will make it to my nearest airport to see if a Sat. delivery is actually realistic.
