I understand why it went through Anchorage. I have no idea why it would then go across the country to Louisville before coming back to Portland.



That's where the major shipping hub is, I assume the plane headed there is bulk loaded to the gills with pallets of Apple products, and then it gets broken up into smaller shipments for specific cities like Portland. We probably don't have enough products destined here on a routine basis to justify an entire plane of Apple products.


Ah. I didn't consider that all the Apple products might be traveling together beyond Anchorage. That makes more sense.

P.S. BOOOOOO on UPS, who just claimed they tried and failed to deliver it while I was standing on my porch with the Ring camera on. So much for spending the night migrating. Hello, Monday night happy hour.

Oh man, I'd be on fire right now. Drinking is probably the best alternative.


Hah! Thanks for commiserating. Yeah, I was all revved up. Even loaded up on Frank's Noodle House takeout - my all-night nerd-out favorite. Spent the last couple hours doing backups so I could jump into work tomorrow. Just got screwed by the last guy in the supply chain =\


that exact thing happened to me yesterday with my m1 max! Vancouver Canada - UPS is the worst for of all the carriers for fake attempts - I wish I knew why apple used them.

It was delivered to a pickup point around 6pm thou so I was still able to get it that day at least.


Did you at least see them pass by or did they not even bother with that?


Didn't even come down the street!


if you ping a server next to you from your laptop, the packet might still go via a different city. same principle.
