Ha! Yea. Cheers. IDK about the plane tracking. I'm going to try to just let that take care of itself and rely on the UPS updates only. I've got to finish a project (before my watch gets here so I can geek out with it) and don't need anything I'm constantly checking.
I hear ya! I've been waiting to schedule a meeting at work based around the arrival date of the watch. I can now get back to being a responsible adult.

Cheers! :apple:

My watch was charged yesterday, shipped today. Should be here on the 12th. Seems like they've done a good job of getting orders processed as fast as they can.
 
I'm kind of new to plane tracking. How do we locate which plane our watches are on with FlightAware? Right about now my watch is toasting champagne glasses with yours.
As far as I can tell, if you leave from Shanghai, you should be on UPS 81. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS81/history/20150609/1305Z/ZSPD/PANC

UPS 81 takes off around 10PM China Time each evening (should have a Shanghai departure scan from Shanghai around 8:59 or so like mine) and arrives in Alaska about 2PM Alaska time (traveling back in time as it were). It then proceeds to Louisville overnight and from there your watch will clear customs overnight and hop a plane from Louisville to whatever your closest air hub is for UPS.

Unless UPS does something wrong of course. Don't panic that it won't be delivered the next day if you expect it next day until you wake up the day of delivery, it takes about six hours from landing in Louisville to being on a truck for delivery most places in the US.
 
Ordered my 42mm space gray sport on 5/27. Currently showing "Processing Items: Delivers: 16 Jun, 2015 - 18 Jun, 2015 by 2-3 Business Days." CC has not yet been charged.

I'm hoping ours go to PFS overnight. That means a Saturday delivery for me. I was hoping to try it out at my 1/2 marathon on Sunday.
UPS generally doesn't deliver Saturdays, sorry. That said if you go PFS tonight there is a chance you will be Friday.
 
Are we able to have it rerouted to an apple store? would that allow a saturday pickup option?
Nope. Best you could do is have it routed to your local UPS hub but that would just mean you can pickup as soon as they open the morning it would have been on a truck instead of waiting for the delivery. If it would have been there on Saturday if they delivered then, most of the time they actually won't have it at your local hub until Sunday evening.

Thanks. I had searched the threads and found out how to do it. I think I may actually be on UPS77 due to the matching departure scan time on my tracking and the departure time for the flight.

I'm scheduled for Thursday. Any chance it arrives a day early on Wednesday based on this info?

Trying to figure out which day I need to work from home :)
 
Foiled again - originally scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. Looks like that won't happen.

Whoops, didn't know about UPS 77.

I really don't know. There is every possibility it will be delivered tomorrow but that said it seems UPS is slower for some random locations.
 
Well, it seems UPS 81 isn't doing so well. It's currently at a third it's planned speed and 700 ft altitude instead of 33,000ft...
