So Apple Store app gave tracking numbers for my two iPhones. However once tracking number UPS website says “we could not locate the shipping details.” Very strange. Anyone else have a tracking number that cannot be found by UPS but was given to you by Apple?

Import Scan in Louisville times:
Wife's (wave 1) iPhone 14 Pro Deep Purple - 8:09a 9/15/22
My (wave 2b) iPhone 14 Pro Silver - 8:28a 9/15/22
My Apple Watch Series 8 - 9:35a 9/15/22

She ordered a watch too, but it doesn't come until next week. She wasn't as fast as me when placing the order. Trade-in kits look like they'll all come on Monday.

Are they supposed to be launch day phones?
 
I now have both my UPS import scan and I got the email from Apple so all I have to do is wait until this evening or early tomorrow, for it to start moving from Louisville to Indianapolis, to Urbana, IL, to Decatur, IL, then back to Urbana where I can pick it up. Hopefully.

Last year they lost it in Urbana, and it almost went to California. It hadn’t been taken off the truck that brought it from Decatur back to Urbana, and that truck was due to go to California. If I hadn’t been politely insistent that it was there, they wouldn’t have taken a second look.
Yeah until I see out for delivery here in CU I would worry as well. Hopefully that does not happen for either of us this year. Last year it was no problem but my phone was in week later not opening day craziness. How did. You determine it was “lost” and then on truck? Usually I just see arrival from Decatur and then sometime between 8-9 before local trucks deliver it shows on the truck. I assume that did not appear for you, how late were you able to get them to search the Decatur truck again?

I still haven't gotten an email about the Trade-in kit. Maybe I get to keep my iPhone 13 Pro? 😜
I saw a notification from Apple about the order, when I clicked that, it took me to the information about the trade-in kit box. However, when I view the order on the Apple Store app...nothing about the box. I don't see any tracking from FedEx or UPS for the trade-in kits, yet.

Anyone else that set a hold for pickup at the CC seeing this on Apple's website?

Address Corrected
The carrier has updated your address and your item is on the way. Due to the impact of COVID-19 and increased demand for online shopping, we recommend visiting "Track shipment" for the most up-to-date delivery information, as well as options to reschedule or hold for pickup.

It still shows my address as the shipping address, and UPS still shows it coming to me with no mention of the hold being processed yet, so now starting to freak out.

UPS have a delay sometimes on processing info on the consumer side. What Apple have told you is the truth, just need to let the UPS consumer-side systems catch up. Apple are going to be paying UPS huge $$$ for the distribution so I'd imagine they have better access to the internal systems than we do ;-)

FYI...the "pre-sign" option only shows up on the website for me, not the Apple Store app on my phone.

You basically sign a piece of paper and tape to your door, so it is not "pre-signing" digitally to release the phone and let the driver just leave on your doorstep. Need to print the PDF and sign it so he/she can take it with them.
Oddly that option still doesn't show up in either place for me although the tracking number does. Happily the pre sign option link was in the email Apple sent so I used that. The Apple Store order pages are just all over the place this year.

If you get a "Departed from Facility" Scan from Louisville, Kentucky.

Please report it here, ASAP. Let's see who's taking the departing flight first!!! Happy and safe travels!
No flights headed this way. In previous years, I think I was on a truck. 7hr, 55 minute drive. Patiently waiting on more movement.
 
The pre-sign is interesting. I don't think I have ever seen that before with an Apple device.
I've seen that in the past. The option would show up in the order's page but not in the ups app/website even with my choice. Apple has strange ways 😁

Yeah you’re right. I’ve just never had Apple give me a tracking number before it’s visible in consumer facing systems. This is also the phone I’ve never been able to track by reference, so I’ve been mildly concerned about it this whole week.

Does it have an arrival date? I thought those were a Sept 23 thing.

Update! Same here! But I used reference tracking to find it. UPS says they will be here tomorrow. Apple Order page says processing.
It is and they are but that tracking number wasn’t there earlier this morning. UPS and Apple are firing on all cylinders today.
