Stainless Steel Space Black Shipping Status

what are the chances that the reason I dont have any UPS updates is that the special process pulls it out the 'standard' and gives it priority - and I could still get a delivery today?
 
May 23 and its processing for shipment! I had looked earlier today and was sad when it wasn't! Finally!
 
Welllllll F-all.
Not on time for Friday delivery after all, just going to miss that and reschedule for Sat. Which of course, I have a wedding to attend All day. MF! You know, that really pisses me off. Dont tell me itll be here Friday and then f that up. UNDER promise, OVER deliver. You've got it wrong! I appreciate the saturday delivery attempt but it sucks i wont be here. To bad too cause I woulda loved to have it for the wedding im attending...
 
@slvrscoobie What's the current status on your tracking?

UPS, when they were under the gun by Apple launch day and the week that followed would deliver right up to 9pm.

Residential delivery times are not guaranteed - only business delivery times.

??? UPS works 24/7. They don't normally deliver on Saturdays for Apple (wondering if the "in-store oopsie" is why Apple's putting the 4th quarter push on), as the shipper usually has to pay for Saturday delivery.
It's Louisville to Mount Hope (Hamilton) - not Toronto. The UPS distribution centre is in Concord (north end of metro Toronto) - takes about an hour and 20 minutes for the truck to get from the airport to the distribution centre.
If Apple's pulling out the stops, you could get Saturday delivery. The "rub" is that it needs to clear Canadian Customs and get to Concord. Seeing as how it arrived there at noon, they've had ample time to get that cleared.

Where does it currently say your package is on the tracking?

You didn't say what it says on the tracking...

The flight went from Louisville to Mount Hope several hours late, but got in around noon. That gives Canada Customs 4 hours to get the clearance done before calling it a day. As this shipment was delayed, this would have been a UPS priority and gotten cleared.
So, it should have made it to Concord.

it says its "in transit" and it departed louisville at 2:49pm
 
Well, mine has been sitting in Louisville since 4:46 A.M. this morning. Still set for it's new Saturday delivery (was Friday before the weather...), but I'm picturing my poor watch sitting on a dock, watching other watches fly away. *tear*

:)
 
No delays yet on my end...charged Thursday...PFS Thursday afternoon..shipped today and she's due for Monday...fingers crossed! Can't wait...been playing with the SS link version for a couple days now and I am highly impressed...but I'll probably end up returning it and keeping the SBSS...though this one is one fine looking watch...gonna be tough to let it go

Obviously I'm not an expert like you guys. Based on reading this forum I understand they go from Suzhou to Shanghai and then the watches hop on a plane in order to catch a ride to Anchorage is that right? I was searching in Flight aware and I don't see any flights...

Yeah, I'm not seeing any either from Shanghai to Anchorage. Looking at a lot of UPS' scheduled activity today/tomorrow, I see a LOT of planes headed from Louisville to Anchorage - they're likely headed to China and Japan for a lot of shipments starting Sunday.
Keep an eye on your tracking - you can use google to easily get ups info from flight aware - just key in that next airport's code along with UPS and flight aware and it should show you the live flights going on for that airport.
We've seen UPS shuttle stuff to Japan or Korea before (seemingly when they didn't have enough cargo to fill a 747 for the hop over to Anchorage).

Thanks for the response @fischersd :) yeah my UPS tracking updated this early morning to tell me my watch is in shanghai:
Shanghai, China 06/27/2015 11:48 A.M. Arrival Scan ; so I'm assuming that it leaves from Shanghai but might be wrong

weird that it didn't update yesterday but it only took a few minutes to get there. I also find weird that looking at the patter of UPS flight 81 we see it going to PANC (landed over 17 hours ago) and from PANC to KSDF (9 hours ago) bu we never see it returning to Shanghai o_O is it being teleported there?:p

AAAnywho, its scheduled to be delivered monday, I just find all this airplane tracking cool/interesting...

P.S. just like you said, plenty of UPS flights today, just none from ZSPD / PVG

Methinks UPS gives them different flight numbers when they're headed back. Maybe UPS80 when it's flying west and UPS81 when it's flying east? Their live tracking here: http://flightaware.com/live/fleet/UPS

Most of the airports we care about:

RJBB - Kansai (Japan)
ZGSZ - Shenzhen Bao
ZSPD - Shanghai Pudong
ZSSS - Shanghai Hongqiao
VHHH - Hong Kong
PANC - Anchorage
KSDF - Louisville, KY
CYHM - Mount Hope, ON
KONT - Ontario, CA

Example of flight tracking from Shanghai to Anchorage:
http://flightaware.com/live/findflight/ZSPD/PANC/ - Shanghai Pudong / Anchorage

(You can change the source/destination airports on that page)

Happy tracking! :)
