People buying $1,500 phones but won’t pay $20 to manage all of their shipments for a year.
Yeah, I refuse to pay that dumb fee. Apple can happily take all this money from me but that $20 fee is a joke and I refuse. Going to call UPS and tell them to honor it for me for free. Plan A, plan B failed. Plan C will work. 😂

How will I pay for my $1500 phone if I give my money to UPS? ;)

In all seriousness, it’s annoying to have to pay for a feature that used to be free, especially when I would’ve just got an in-store pickup if Apple’s app wasn’t glitching out. Also, this is literally the only UPS package I get per year lol. I know I could still do the $6 one-time, but still. It’s the principle.
 
For some reason I can find the package if I track by reference, but it’s not showing up in UPS My Choice. I recently moved, so I needed to change the address on My Choice but forgot to change it until after the pre-order. I have double and triple checked that the addresses match (including the unit number), but I can’t seem to get the tracking to show up in my choice!
 
on Track by Reference, you can track by your order number minus the last 2 numbers or your phone number that you used. Just know that you won't do much here because in those cases, your tracking number is masked and you only see the last 4. To get the full access, you need to have UPS MyChoice.

Also when apple.com marks it shipped on Thursday, you will get the tracking option on the website.
Oh. I tried to sing up for my choice but they don’t let me since it’s a commercial address
 
is anyone using UPS my choice for an apartment complex? i can see the last 4 digits tracking by reference number but nothing in UPS app or My Choice.

i’m hoping it’s just because i’m in an apartment complex.. i really wish i could see all of the scans with you guys 😭😭
 
I don't have issues with them but lately i've been reading up a lot of issues that Fedex appears to have lately on Reddit and heaven forbid, I hope they don't use fedex when they ship my phone.
Ditto. We live in a very rural area so we have a deck box by our gate, which is a distance from our front door., with a combo lock on it. UPS always leaves packages in the deck box. Fedex throws them on the ground, sometimes even outside the gate, and most often doesn't put them in a plastic bag even if it's pouring. I've filed so many complaints I can't even count. And UPS has that cool option to track the truck. And they will contact the driver if you need them to. Fedex refuses to do that. Hoping for UPS.

I live in a stand-alone house and am in the same boat as you.

I’m in the exact same situation! I can find the package if I track by reference, but not in UPS my choice. I was also thinking it’s because of the apartment complex/unit number issue

Maybe you should this year?
Nope. I will do a transfer again. IOS is made for it and I have too many settings and apps where I don’t want to start from new. Takes way too much time. I want my new phone up and running in 30 minutes or less. Don’t want to spend my whole Friday night setting up a phone. I want to be using it.

Fair enough! Time is money.
