Could be another National Air flight (or a different cargo carrier), like the one from earlier today.

Maybe, but another NCR flight has not popped up yet and tracking flights to PANC still have no corresponding departure times. Neither do flights to Incheon either as someone posted theirs went there before heading to the US last year for the iPhone 7 launch.

The only planes that took off from CGO within that timeframe are a bunch of 737s and a couple of short haul Airbuses. Not exactly cargo aircraft!

Is it normal to still have a "preparing to ship" status?

Totally normal. My Apple Store status has been showing the same message since Saturday.
 
I've still preparing to ship. stuck in zengzhou since Friday/Sat. No change since it went to preparing for status. But my UPS app shows a departure scan on 10:39 PM on Oct 31.
 
All is normal there was a thread just like this back during the 6Plus launch. Next you’ll see where some orders blow through customs almost instantly and some sit for hours. Also if I remember correctly phones were sent utilizing multiple UPS shippping classes and some phones literally passed other phones that had left China earlier at different points in route.
 
Then you'd be paying $1500 for the phone. Unfortunate but true.

I’m 57 yo and just as giddy as you younger peeps to get my 11/3 X.

I have to ask however, what are your credentials to make such a ridiculous statement? You can hate Trump as much as you want; you’re entitled; but this is simply not true. I deal in supply and demand all over the world. Separation “may” be +$30 but this does not include potential reduction in cost due to tax incentives and transportation cost. Do some reading about Zhengzhou’s “iPhone City”... The USA built it...essentially

Mine departed Zhengzhou this morning! UPS says 8:35 local time. The original scan was for Eastern time, so I'm assuming it's the same for the 8:35.
 
This is the exact reason why Trump wants these factories back stateside!

MURICA FIRST!

Just got the AK departure scan update. Wasn't showing a few minutes ago. Next stop, KY?

I believe so.

Anchorage, AK, United States 10/31/2017 4:30 P.M. Departure Scan
ZhengZhou, China 10/31/2017 10:39 P.M. Departure Scan
ZhengZhou, China 10/29/2017 12:57 A.M. Arrival Scan
10/29/2017 12:30 A.M. Departure Scan
ZhengZhou, China 10/28/2017 6:16 P.M. Origin Scan
China 10/28/2017 11:27 A.M. (ET) Order Processed: Ready for UPS


That's my personal scan progress. I am trying to track down the flight.

That 4:30 scan time should be the local time in Alaska, correct?
 
Both of my devices (mine and wife’s) just got a departure scan out of Anchorage, AK at 4:30PM today. Can’t friggen wait!
Same here!!

This is all I can find for en-route from Alaska to Kentucky via UPS. Not really anything that matches the departure scan exactly..
 
Looks like a good little rain / storm system is closing in on Louisville. Hope CR628 makes it there before the weather does.

Little rain won't affect landing

Is that a correct flight number? it's not showing up

That would be NCR628 it is on it' way to Louisville, KY as I type. It was a contract plan that UPS used for this shipment.
So any Departure scan at 10:39 in Zhengzhou would be on this plane.

National Airlines Cargo NCR628 / Tail number: N919CA
