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

Official to track it with is NCR268

when asked to draw a green line across the most boring tract of N.America.. the correct answer would look like this:

no (ill-hearted) offense to those living near the green or dashed line

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 departure for mine but wonder why Apple still shows Preparing to Ship? I am getting really excited, too!

Same departure for mine but wonder why Apple still shows Preparing to Ship?

because once they switch to shipped, there will likely be a link to track right next to it..

so maybe they worked out a little deal with UPS to spare their servers from getting slammed for an excessive amount of days

Last year my iPhone 7 went back and forth and even got delayed to Saturday....At first UPS said that it would be delivered on Monday but then Apple got in touch with UPS and said to make sure you delivered those iPhones on Saturday.

Did you bought case already?

IPhones should be arriving in Alaska on Wed 10/1 in the evening. Then its up to UPS to get them out to the hubs. Thurs delivery is possible but don't count on it. Apple wants 11/2 delivery.

WTF

ZhengZhou, China to Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong

That was a long wait for a short trip.

 

[ray737]

Mine also arrived there at 11:23 WTF. As long as it’s in NYC by Friday

Silly question but I am going to ask, some smart folks here.

How much does it cost to ship a plane full of iPhones from China to KY?

 

[jtrue28]

747?....probably $250K per trip.

Tough to figure because I doubt those planes only contain iPhones, but I would hazard a guess it costs Apple ~$1/phone.

i'm totally guessing but... a million dollars.
(or- about $5 per phone)

 

[tigres]

So consensus is 1-5$ a phone. Way cheaper than I would have thought.

Bulk freight has it's advantages!

 

[Rayban]

Here's a silly question. Will the tracking numbers change after some point?

 

[quagmire]

UPS59 leaves in an hour. Hopefully our iPhones board this flight.
