Now that the phones have True Tone, "yellow gate" will be back in force.
Ya I've tried by reference. Nope nothing
Yeah mine isn't showing up either, should pop up soon thought I assume. Even though I've been through it before its always fun to track your iPhone.
I've had some other UPS items act similarly. My assumption (no shipping expert) is that scans get missed, then the next scan, it try's to autocorrect to the next "logical" scan. The human on the end of a scanner/automated system probably doesn't always catch these exceptions. Not stressing, I think it's humorous.
Hey! How'd yours get to Anchorage already? Mine arrived in Shanghai the same exact time as yours but still hasn't left there...
That and also sometimes the scanners are mobile, and if they have an issue syncing, may not sync until later. Improper configuration, or a user logged in with a specific role/task that says they are scanning "in" when they are actually scanning out. Also, could be scans from within the facility or separate warehouses - often they will get scanned out of one and into another, like if they are being held.
Are you sure this isn't your Apple watch? the scan timing and weight look to be that it's your watch... if you sign into MyChoice on the UPS website it will allow you to see the reference numbers so you can verify with your Apple order.
Orders started being processed on Saturday. All orders are held at facility until hand off to carrier later this week.
Haha, welcome to MacRumors and the thread - we already covered this though
My comment was sarcastic.a lot of people have used their phone number as the reference # to find their tracking # early for UPS. I believe its the same for Fedex.
Nor have I. I have only had 1-2 launch products ship via FedEx. All depends. Usually Apple uses FedEx for their repair shipments and parts (I am an ACiT and ACMT at an AASP that's how I know). UPS generally handles any of their international shipping, as I am sure that UPS' prices are cheaper than FedEx for this level of int'l shipping, but again all depends on the year as I have seen FedEx do the shipments from China too a few times. But seems when they go to launch, they choose 1 carrier - and that's a smart move on Apple's part.
thanks! do you type the entire phone number with area code or something else?
You can also try using your Web order# (Wxxxxxx) minus the last 2 digits. Or UPS MyChoice
Interesting. I have 3 items coming from Apple on 9/22. Just trying to figure out which is which. One is coming FedEx and I know it’s the Belkin Qi charger. The other two are coming UPS - the 8+ and the AppleTV 4K. The package that’s showing in my UPS account is 1.1 kg (~ 2.42 pounds).
Is there anyone that is on the upgrade program that has already found a tracking number? I ordered at 12:02 and still can't find tracking on UPS or FedEx. Plane tracking is one of my favorite things about preorder season and I hope they aren't packaging the return boxes with the phones stateside.
I ordered at 12:01 AM and there's still no tracking for me, probably just a delay.
