Know the flight path helps. Phones are going from Zhengzhou’s to anchorage to Louisville Kentucky this year. Most the time they stop in Incheon Korea but for whatever reason not this year. Anyways, look for a flight, ups, cargolux or atlas air, scheduled from say zhengzhou to anchorage if your still in zz. If it matches one of the airlines and flight path good chance it’s one of those. Then watch your tracking. If the plane takes off around the same time as ups says departed…that’s your flight.
Some airport codes to know:
Zhengzhou is CGO
Anchorage Alaska is PANC
Louisville Kentucky is SDF
Mine is there too and departed at the same time. Our phones appear to be on UPS Flight 77 bound for Louisville.
Yes, I believe so and Wave 2, we're still waiting to depart ZZ. I thought we'd have a scan by now. Wave 1, did you get anything after your departure scan from ZZ? I know I'm a few pages behind, so probably already answered.
Yes they are on UPS 77 after arriving on UPS 81 from Shanghai. We figured out they were Canada bound when they came from Kunshan City.

I believe a few people mentioned it a couple days ago that it was discontinued a while back.
Ok, I hadn't seen it yet and found out today from a friend that works in a local hub... if I would have know sooner I would have opted for a store pick up
I didn't upgrade last year, but I was told they done away with it back in June. Oh well, now I have to sit around and wait on the UPS man all day... lolIt bene like that for a while. I wasn't able to hold a MBP I ordered last November at the UPS CC. After October , there will no longer be any more UPS CCs
@dweb619_2 just to add to the great info from @Gsxr750 you need to match your departure scan in UPS to the flight's departure time + taxi = actual flight takeoff time (UPS updates dynamically for flights).

Just console yourself in the fact that Australians will probably be enjoying their new iPhones before we get our hands on ours.
Yep. I couldn't do it last year, either. I think UPS said it was a security issue, but I suspect they just didn't want to deal with a bunch of us walking in and having them run around looking for our stuff.
Could be the preliminary scan to clear customs before it actually gets to Louisville.
UPS was blaming Apple and Apple was blaming UPS. In the end it was just discontinued after the iPhone 15 initial rush.

The last time it happened more than just a random phone or two was the iPhone 4 deliveries back in 2010. The story at the time was that Apple had a "come to Jesus" meeting with UPS and it has not happened since, at least on a large scale.If it happened, that would be a first that I ever saw.
It will flip to ready for pickup sometime on Thursday. I think the stores check the received inventory against what’s been ordered to be picked up on launch day.
Yep and maybe a crew break or swap before hopping to SDF. They only have 1 hr 45 min.
