Stainless Steel Space Black Shipping Status
Maybe I was so excited about ordering, I missed that.

I bet our watches are on those four flights to Louisville right now. Does anyone who has tracked the flights know if that makes sense? Have people been getting charged when they land in Anchorage of a second location?
Anyone care to guess how many watches could be loaded on a MD11 Cargo? I know it isn't quite on topic but would help pass the time.
From what I've heard, it needs to go Shenzen>Anchorage for it to have Apple Watches. I don't think all of those flights came from Shenzen.
Someone might know better than I however.
Wow! I've learned so much about Apple tracking from this forum. How do we know where the watches come from?
Looks like there was only one flight (UPS77) from Shenzhen to Anchorage today, the flight before that was Thursday.
It looked like all of the 42mm SS LB's that shipped today were sourced from Harrisburg, PA - suggesting that they were assembled in the US (all of the launch window watches got a "cleared customs" notification from Anchorage).
Something different going on here...

Ah, that's new to me. Guess there's a chance the normal flight tracking won't work then.
Makes me wonder if Apple didn't do what people were suggesting and take a bunch of the SS stock and stick link bands on them.
Not sure what that means for progress on our queue, but the week's young.
You are assuming the entire MD11 would be filled with
Watches? 
Although that is an entertaining thought!
I don't know the dimensions of the stainless steel Apple watch boxes, but found the cargo dimensions for the UPS MD11 Freighter:26x 224cm. X 318cm. X 163cm containers in the main compartment
6x 224cm. X 318cm. X 163cm containers in the forward belly compartment
7x 153cm. X 318cm. X 163cm containers in the aft belly compartment
Which should come out to be:
427060326cm³ or 427.0603m³
Feel free to check my math, it has been a long day. Anyone that knows the dimensions of the SS Apple watch boxes, feel free to pitch in.
People were saying the first line in their tracking was Harrisburg, PA. (it shouldn't be). On launch day, everyone's first update in UPS was when it cleared customs at Anchorage.
Makes me wonder if they haven't changed things - but I don't know why they'd do any assembly here at all - there's so much more available labour in China.

Found this: (Wikipedia) don't know if UPS though
21,096 cu ft (597 m3)
26 pallets on the main deck
+32 LD3 (lower compartment)
That's funny, all of my
Can you pull up the tracking on one of them? Doesn't make a lot of sense for them to go to Harrisburg from Louisville, does it? And shouldn't customs be the first line, when it enters the US UPS system?
Maybe they weren't individually tracked until the bulk shipments from China were split up in the US?
Looks like it's going to be over! Let's hope we don't reach 200,000 views before they ship.
Just looking at my iPhone 6's history, it went from some place in Harrisburg to Louisville.... Not sure why as I'm in NYC. When I called and asked about it they said all/most packages go to main distribution center (Louisville), no matter what, even if it doesn't seem efficient to my address specifically.
Let's be honest though, you know y'all cant wait to post pics of this thing on the show off your watch thread...
Do we know if the planes that come in on a certain night (such as the 7 coming in tonight) are carrying Watches that will be charged and PFS tomorrow or have those already been charged?
Thanks! Only a few more days hopefully.

Heh. You'll have yours before I.
iPhone.Freak just said on the other thread that there's going to be some stock in the US and some that would have flown in separate, so it does sound like there could have been some assembly, or at least some shuffling of stock around the country before the PFS notifications went out.
Hopefully that bodes well for the 38mm guys and all of us here.
