So my flight is UPS 105 getting to anchorage today, but I don't see any UPS flights going from anchorage to Louisville today or I'm looking somewhere wrong?

Maybe my watch is heading from anchorage straight to Texas?
Judging by the recent log of UPS105, it looks like it very well might be heading to Chicago from Anchorage, which I'm really hoping for since mine is on that flight and I'm in Chi-town. They could also put it on another flight. Who knows at this point?
 
So you're saying I was on the malfunctioning plane? How come I didn't get any notice of that. My delivery still shows on track for tomorrow. Not sure how that is possible in this scenario.
You were not on the malfunctioning UPS 81, you were on today's UPS 81. It will travel to Louisville by 2AM tonight and then be on a plane to your local hub by 5AM EST.
 
Just called Apple to complain as to why others are being CC charged and PFS before my 5/29 order. But the supervisor there needs an order number for reference and verification. Can anyone who ordered on or after 5/29 in the US please send me their order number so that I may forward that to Apple and confirm why that is happening so that I can get mine into PFS and hopefully out the door soon. thanks

Be leery or responding to this. Sounds like a scam to me!

I don't think it's a scam, but he also just shouldn't be asking for this information. Especially not on a public thread. We're all anxious to get our phones, but it's really out of our control and we just need to wait.

Are you saying you need order number of a person who's order has already shipped?

The supervisor told me to email him an order number of someone who I know that ordered on or after 5/29 that is in PFS or Shipped and then he would verify and go through to fix my order to because he said that it should be going in order similar to a line. First order, first serve kinda deal. I probably just won't email him back because it seems like everyone is super weird about it. not a big deal.
 
not trying to scam anyone.. just pissed that others are getting theirs watches before people who ordered first
I understand you need an order number but yeah it's a bit weird to ask. Who knows why the orders are PFS before yours. I doubt they singled you out - it'll probably update tonight as mine did last night.

I am just as confused as you on that part. I'm beginning to wonder if my UPS "original delivery" date of Friday is correct. I hope not!!
 
Mine was "originally scheduled" for Friday but has "early delivery for tomorrow". I'd imagine the difference is because I am close to Louisville than you. Assuming ALL shipments will go through there. Nonetheless, it is purely an amazing operation. I'm looking into departures from Anchorage to Louisville! Hope our watches are having a good.... Time together ha.


Maybe they are partying! :)

Do you think Apple puts any priority on watches purchased with AppleCare+? We purchased 3 watches for our family, each with AC+ and have been very fortunate with quick shipments (well apart from our Oceanic Airlines watch stuck rerouted to Korea!).
 
Ordered mine June 7th. Estimated delivery June 30 - July 7. Is it really likely to get my watch even after it is released in stores??
 
OK, for those that got a departure from Asia, you are all looking good for delivery tomorrow barring further delays. How UPS generally works is everything from Asia goes through Anchorage and on to Louisville and then to your local air hub. I know you may be closer to Anchorage than to Louisville but that's not how air express packages work. It's much more economical to have one central hub. What you should expect is an arrival in Anchorage in the next 4.5 hours, followed by a departure scan sometime around 2-3 hours after that. It will go to Louisville and arrive around 2AM EDT and then to your local air hub around 5AM. FlightAware hasn't shown hardly any UPS flights that aren't about to take off all this time so don't freak out that you don't see a Anchorage to Louisville flight yet.

Based on current orders you are likely to get it next week but no guarantees. Start watching your card for a charge late late this week or maybe the weekend depending.
 
No worries. I like educating people on how logistics work. :D
FWIW I finally got a departure scan. Based on the time I think it can be confirmed I'm on 81.
