Mine is still PTS. My choice shows I have no deliveries coming. But tracking on UPS website via reference does show a delivery ‘on the way’ and shows the last 4 digits of the tracking number.

I’m so confused. How does everyone know exactly where there package is?
Do you have UPS MyChoice? Its free. As long as you have matching address it will appear. And you should be able to track it full
 
This is all my fault so, I actually slept during the day that pre orders started. I orders Saturday night.😣
Aw man! That sucks. The best option for you might be to go to the Apple store and see if they are available. You can also reserve it in the morning.

Hopefully, you will be joining us for iPhone 15 Pre Order Launch next year with a promised launched date.. Glad to have you here tho. Welcome.
 
Pro 256 black ordered at 8:08 a.m. EDT Sept. 9 directly from Apple and configured for T-Mobile/Sprint.

12:42 PM Sept 13
On the Way
Arrived at Facility
Louisville, KY, United States
 
Guys - our iPhones will likely say PTS in the apple status page until literally Wednesday or Thursday night. Lol

They don’t update that until UPS gets it in KY and routes it out I think. Nothing in Zz, ANC, or Korea gets tracked on the apple status page.

They did take it away? Last phone deliveries and major Apple release day have had Follow Me for my deliveries. So that sounds odd.
In the last few shipments i have had recently, I have not gotten the email and text message to follow my delivery to be honest, all i get is the notification that it was loaded on the truck and that it left the warehouse but then again I’ve only gotten ground shipments, i am curious to see if express or two day shipments would give you the prompts.
 
I think it's kind of weird Apple hasn't updated my order page. It's been saying Preparing to Ship for days now. I finally took my order number and removed the last two digits as described in the original post, went over to UPS and searched by reference number. It takes more information, but I did verify that my order is on the way. It won't show me the full tracking number, which is kind of a bummer. But Apple is slackin'. They should get those order pages updated.
Apple has always shown the order "preparing to ship" until the package clears customs in KY and then it gets scanned for departure to it's destination hub. So, the earliest you will see any update from Apple will be Thursday, after it clears customs. I agree with you on your point, though.

That is what i'm hoping to do. I most likely join in next Launch, I haven't done this since the IPhones 11 came out.

Apple will wait, so it makes it look [to the normal people] like they are geniuses at shipping the new shiny iPhone 14x in one day :)
 
Does anyone know if @Shh got their tracking number?
I did not.

I ordered two iPhone 14 Max last Friday at 5 AM PDT, and was told that my orders were received and should ship on Thursday. Today, I noticed from the carrier that two packages which are supposed to be delivered on Friday will arrive early, Wed., Sept 14, 2022. Both packages weigh in at 2 pounds. The packages are coming from:
ATC
13500 INDEPENDENCE PKWY
FT WORTH, TX US 76177

Are my iPhones arriving tomorrow?

Could use some advice. Mine is expected to be delivered on Friday, 9/16. UPS My Choice also reflects that.

However, I had already planned to be out of the country on that day and don't return until Sunday, 9/18. My gf will be at work on Friday and home in late afternoon. I always instruct UPS to deliver to the back of my house but they don't always do that and don't want to risk it being stolen if they deliver before she gets home.

Would it be best to reschedule delivery for Monday? Or hold it at a UPS store so I can pick it up on Monday?
 
So out of curiosity I checked to see when I followed my first iPhone order here and it was the iPhone 5s in 2013. Before that I went to the store and hoped to find the phone I wanted, sometimes hitting several stores. Had the original iPhone a year after it was released, it was jail broken and set up with a hack to run on T-Mobile. So I had original iPhone, iPhone 3gs, 4s, 5s (first I tracked here!!), 6s Plus, first big iPhone, X, Xs Max and now 14 Pro Max. These forums are so fun, and even though I don't post a lot, I read almost everything. I especially enjoyed when people figured out how to track what plane your phone was coming in on. Genius!!! Anyway, I'm patiently waiting in ZZ to be picked up, my first new iPhone in 4 years, I didn't want to give up 3D Touch!! I sold my Xs Max on swappa and have been using an old iPhone 8 for almost two weeks, the pain is real. We might be crazy, but at least we're not boring!!!

Hold it at UPS Store and pick it up yourself on Monday.

Wonderful story. Thank you for your post. We're eyeing on this flight to take us out from China. Everyone is expected to leave China today. Go Beyond!!!

I would hold it at UPS CC and pick it up on Monday or the UPS store i that case. Whatever is convenient for you. They will hold package for you for 5 days
