So anyone know when we should start seeing movements on the new AirPods? I assume next week and they’ll start stateside already with tracking. It’s my first launch day AirPods so I’m not nearly as familiar with the process there
I'm curious about that too. I've seen some people's status change to "preparing to ship", but mine is still in "processing." Still scheduled for 9/23 delivery, though.
The AirPods could already be in the US later this week and Apple may ship them to you directly from the warehouse on US soil.
 
I can't indulge in all of the tracking updates because I'm doing in-store pickup BUT I am pretty happy with the way things turned out with my order after some initial frustration. When the pre-orders first went live the T-Mobile auth. servers were down so I wasn't able to order using their advertised $1000 trade-in offer, but more stock has since come up for grabs (and those T-Mobile servers are back up) so I was able to order the exact phone I want with the full $1,000 trade-in value for pickup on the 18th.

I still have to fly to another island to get it (lol) but I'm happy knowing I won't have to pull some order-a-second-phone-and-then-return-the-first-one or return/repurchase or wake up at 6AM on launch day and try to reserve a phone nonsense to take advantage of the full trade-in offer. I've cancelled all my frantically-made pickup and shipping backups and now just have one order for my phone. Sweet!

512GB Deep Purple Pro Max and I am SO happy I went with the Deep Purple. Ironically when the color first got unveiled I said I thought I'd get sick of it quickly so I'd steer away, but it actually keeps growing on me. Really excited to see it in person.

Flight to Honolulu for 9AM next Sunday!!! Let's go!

I wouldn't be surprised. The leather case for my 14 Pro, as well as pretty much all other Apple accessories I've ever ordered, come from Fusion DC in Pennsylvania. I wouldn't be surprised if the AirPods Pro shipped from there as well.

Might be better to wait otherwise you would have to contact the UPS international shipment department. Or they might say it needs to come to USA. Keep us posted.
You technically can request a UPS CC now through MyChoice is the option is available. I have always done this in the past when it was still in China and I was able to get the package to hold at UPC CC. never failed me.
 
Finally got my tracking this morning…. I searched order number and phone number on website and never gave it to me. The UPS mobile App was the one that showed me a shipment was scheduled to my address!

Fri 16 delivery.

Good morning everyone! Just caught up with the thread. Today is a very special day. September 11, 2022. It is 5:30 AM in Las Vegas, Nevada, and roughly 68 degrees.

I'm glad to see many of you are still discovering your tracking number. Keep in mind that 2nd wave of shipment is still in place right now and it should end within a few hours or so. If you do not receive your tracking number today then you will be a member of 3rd wave which will be later today. Staying hopeful for everyone. Get your passports ready. We need to leave China before the week starts.

21 years ago from today, it was a different story. Around the same time I’m typing this, The date that changed America and the world 🇺🇸 In memory, posting pictures of The World Trade Center (WTC). The 1st picture below is the North Tower and 2nd picture is the South Tower.

September 4, 2022, 04:05 PM, Lower Manhattan, New York City, New York. 🗽
