Wow, it's hard to believe, it's that time again and here we are. Let the tracking begin. :) I feel like I must be buying the new iPhones way too often when I actually know the UPS tracking destinations for all the locations that the phone should scan through. šŸ¤£ I pre-ordered my 14 Pro Max from Apple as soon as the app let me in yesterday morning, it gave me a 9/16 delivery date and I'm signed up for UPS My Choice, so the UPS app sent me a notification that I had a package in the system. When I went to bed last night it was just showing that it was preparing to ship and then this morning it showed that a label was created and the Origin Scan in ZhengZhou CN and now I double checked again and it updated twice, just like the pic above. The only difference is my Origin Scan was at 6:42 PM yesterday and then the other two scans of departing 11:27 PM on 9/10 and arriving at facility at 12:10 AM today are exactly the same times, so sounds like my phone is traveling in that same group. Can't Wait!! :)
When looking at my order in the Apple store, it still just shows "Your order is being prepared for shipment." So that definitely isn't up to date since, as I said above, when you sign up for UPS My Choice, it just automatically tells you when you have a package in the UPS system and that is showing me it's already on the move. If I remember correctly from last time, I don't think the Apple Store updates the order status to shipped until the phone clears Customs in the United States. So definitely try and get your UPS Tracking information by following the instructions provided on page 1 of this forum. It will give you way more information on where your phone is. :)

This is 100% accurate. Everyone should have that ā€œShippedā€ stamp on Thursday from Apple website.
 
Dang! This is a wild story. Hopefully, it all works out for you. The struggle was extra real for you. Sheeeesh! I got goose bumps reading your story.
Just got a UPS notification that my 256 GB SB 14 Pro Max will deliver on 9/16 with an origin scan in China this morning.

The Apple Store app still says delivering by postal service on 9/23 but Iā€™m hoping itā€™ll update to match what UPS is showing soon.
Oh thatā€™s great news. So it was a glitch after
So when it says ā€œshipping by Postal Serviceā€ itā€™s possibly USPS or is it UPS?
itā€™s a glitch. Itā€™s coming by UPS. The 23rd date is wrong also. Coming the 16th.

Yes. UPS says 09-16 and apple store app says 9-23 by postal service. It was a wierd glitch.
Thank you for sorting this out. I appreciate you.
