They said it's going to take 7 days to delete the old account. Hopefully I can call them to have them hold the package until I get back or something when I get the tracking number.

It's a bit odd they don't have a uh ... purple case to go with it.
Aww man :(. I really hope the tracking shows up on at least one of those accounts!
 
On Sept 10, 2001, I was scheduled to fly to Philadelphia to shadow a Sr. lead technical sales consultant who worked the east coast region. We were meeting with the client to present at 9am the next morning. I was scheduled to be there 2 days. I get to the airport and flights were delayed because high winds from the remnants of a hurricane were affecting air traffic. After my flight was finally cancelled, they put me on a flight scheduled to leave at a different airport first thing in the morning on Sept 11th. It was the best they could do for me.

I called up a friend of mine who at the time had a women's prayer circle. Wasn't sure at the time why I felt like I needed to go, I wasn't a part of her group and not deeply religious, but I told her I feel like I need to be there that evening for whatever reason. I left from the airport in a taxi and went straight to her house.

As we are praying, I had a vision of a very bright pentagon shape. It was lit up and glowing. I saw a hole in a building with fire burning. I couldn't really tell the full of the picture, but I saw that much clearly. It led me to pray even harder. I told my friend and another woman there about it. They gave some interpretation, but little did we know what it really meant.

My friend drove me home and I told her to drive through the city past downtown. It was out of her way, but I was led to do this. I prayed for the Sears Tower and a protection over the Chicago area. Again, not knowing why. I just did it.

I was tired when I got home. I left my suitcase packed since I would need to leave by 4am to get to the airport and catch the early flight. At that time, I had travelled for 4 years for work and not once had I ever missed waking up to catch a flight.

That morning I woke up late for the first and only time ever since for a flight.

I, of course, was panicked because how could I be so stupid to miss a flight! My manager is going to fire me! We were trying to buy a home! OMG! What am I going to do and say???!

While I'm trying to think of a good reason to tell my manager that I missed this flight, my husband calls and asks me if I was watching TV. Of course I wasn't - I don't watch TV in the mornings ever. He tells me that one of the WT towers is on fire and I need to see it. I tell him to quit joking about stuff (I hadn't shared about the night before, he just jokes sometimes). I'm freaking out about losing my job.

I finally turn on the TV in time to see the fullness of the vision I had of the burning building after the second plane hit and then later the towers to fall. I was stunned and begin to panic for my NYC family that lives and works in the area. My cousin's husband is with the NYPD, she's a nurse. Two of my aunts worked in the area at the time. I have more aunts and uncles in Queens/Brooklyn/LI, so not near Ground Zero. Still, couldn't get through to any of them for hours. My Mom who lived here in Chicago was a wreck.

My manager was so relieved when he reached me. He was happy I hadn't made it to Philadelphia, that I hadn't boarded the plane that morning which would have left me stranded trying to get back home. I had my job still, I could take comfort in that.

I didn't learn about the Pentagon until later and by that point, I was glad I had the house to myself.

I always think about that day now with a mix of emotions and it took years to really grasp the deeper lessons that were happening, had been happening, and continue to happen.

I'll always remember that day.
 
Do carriers get different stock than Apple? I could get the same phone through my carrier sooner than my Apple order, though it would cost more per month.

I tried doing the search by reference using his phone number and nothing came back. He hasn't tried searching by order number. I did a search by phone number and order number for my own and both came back with the tracking information so I'm assuming nothing will come back with his order number either.
Has your friend tried searching his order number (minus last two numbers) by reference? Does anything come up?
On Apple, it stays on preparing to ship until Wednesday/Thursday when it's in the USA.

I got his order number and his tracking number came back with the last 4 digits. Weird that he's not seeing it in the UPS app or on the website.

Did anyone get any e-mails from Citizens One in regards to a new loan number? I still haven't gotten mine. I wonder if it's worth calling. Plus it is PFS and I do have tracking so I know it's approved.
 
The atlas air flight hasn’t taken off quite yet, I wouldn’t give up hope. Departure scan time normally matches actual departure time.
Looking through it all now, I see no ups flights leaving from Zhengzhou’s. Possible that ups isn’t flying them out of china this year? Which atlas air flight are you talking about?
 
Strangely, at some point today hours after tracking originally popped in, my order number and phone number finally showed up in the list of reference numbers.
UPS must still have some glitches, not surprising as their systems are currently taking a real beating.
Order number and phone number still hasn't shown up on one of my phone's tracking:

I'm still waiting for tracking for my 2nd phone, both phones are due to deliver on 9/16.
