Maybe this flight from AK to KY will fly over my city tomorrow. I’ve seen a few do it in years past. I’m dying to get a live shot of it it… and I have tomorrow off. Hell, if it goes west of my town like today’s flight did, I may hope in my car to get under the flight path.

Oh wait, I’m on this plane…lol
 
So far no. They are telling me "You need to wait for the email with the tracking info - but don't worry - it's going to be on time". They said they don't have it because it still says "preparing to ship". They don't seem to acknowledge the disparity between order details saying "preparing to ship" and it getting here in a few days. They say they don't think it's actually shipped yet and they haven't received the info from UPS. Is UPS just failing to scan stuff?
Apple retail probably doesn't take possession of the iPhones until they clear customs. Could be that's when their systems update same as our Apple Store accounts
 
No, UPS has a tracking number already. You can look up tracking by reference and use your order number minus the last 2 digits. Only thing is, you’ll only be able to see the last 4 digits of the tracking number.

People with the paid My Choice membership can see the tracking. Or people have called UPS and got it. I haven’t had such luck.
I can look up the shipment with my phone number as the reference number, and it shows that something is enroute but no details on destination. As you said I can't see the full tracking number, and apparently Apple doesn't have it either. I have UPS My Choice, but that only shows things delivered to my house - not my work. (which might imply it is NOT coming to my house - but honestly I wouldn't put anything past them at this point).

Trying to call UPS and it's a nightmare of automated menus that refuse to connect me to a person. I tried to give my phone number as the tracking ID to the automated computer that refused to do anything useful. After that didn't work, I said "I would like to talk to a human being" which finally they are transferring me to someone. 10 min estimated wait time.

It's supposed to be delivered this Friday though. In past years I've always gotten a "your order has shipped" even when it was leaving China - and I can track it going through customs, etc.

I'm not having it delivered to a store - just my work address (or home).

Does anyone have any recommendations for the best case for the iPhone 14 Pro Max? I like a thin case so it doesn't take away from the aesthetic of the iPhone.
I always worry I will drop mine so I go with the Otterbox cases. haha I get the Defender Series, but they have a Defender XT with MagSafe that are really thin and still allow you to use MagSafe charging and they are clear so you can still see the beauty of the phone. - https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/iphone-14-pro-max-cases?prefn1=shortFeaturesDescription&prefv1=Clear
 
You’ve missed lots of plane stalking and drinking. And back and forth about “the app” - Aftership.
lol Well, I never even heard of the Aftership app until being on here this year and I did download it to try. At first it was identical to the UPS My Choice app, but I did like that it was giving me a notification every time something updated, so I just leftt it on my phone and looked at both when it told me there was an update. What I really liked was when waiting for the plane to land in Louisville, the Aftership app was the one that gave me two updates about customs clearance (the first saying Clearance in Progress & another that it Cleared Import Customs) where the UPS app didn't say any of that. So it does show some different things. I'm just keeping both and looking at both each time there is an update. :)
