Yup, FlightAware GPS coordinates have UPS 81 returning to Shanghai. Unless UPS manages to change to a different plane (unlikely) we are all likely screwed and waiting until Thursday.
Got a tip for us?

If yo go to graphs on the flight, you can get the GPS coordinates. The last reported coordinates from 11:07EDT were right outside the airport in Shanghai.
Just a guess but I'm assuming that means it was accepted back onto Chinese soil so that they can offload.So now it says cleared by agency? Whatever that means.
LOL! No, it definitely is not.
I woke up to the same shipping alert this morning. Would rather the watch and the workers get here safely and not end up in the sea somewhere.
So which flight is it? FlightAware isn't making flight info very clear but I'm guessing 81. Almost a 3 hour delay now
Update: it's 81.
Update: it's 81.
Has Apple moved any watches today seems like no one is moving from processing?
It seems like they move from processing to PFS in the evening. I could be wrong, though. That's just when I check it.
And just as I ask the question I see I got this
Preparing for Shipment
And PayPal has been charged
It's all over the place. I got mine to PFS around 11/12AM CST, so...
Since they originate from China, I say we should pay attention to the business hours there, not so much here.
So as of posting this, it's around 1:45AM in Sunzhou. I don't anticipate any movement until like 8AM (?) there, unless I'm mistaken and they work through the night (not familiar with local laws obviously). So my estimate for when they should start progressing again is...7PM CST/5PM PDT, and then they won't stop until (probably) 11PM CST/9PM PDT.
Again, these are all estimates and they depend heavily on my idea of what a workday may look like over there, so I might be wrong.

Saw this on a different board:
Just a quick update for everybody,
i ordered the space grey watch sport with sport band on the 28th of June.
just now my order has moved into preparing for shipment.
I'm sure he meant May, but if they're filling orders between May 24 and 28 tonight, that is a good sign!
