How do you search by reference on the mychoice ups page? All I see is a spot tracking numbers but not reference number.
If you’re having trouble finding your UPS flight, it looks like UPS may be using Cathay Pacific to bring cargo to Anchorage. This flight has one of my iPhones on it and was the only flight to depart Hong Kong at my departure scan time of 3:52am local time.
If you see a gap, check cargo departures from Hong Kong (Chek Lak Kok) at your departure scan time. They should match exactly.
The process should be the same or similar... the variables would be which delivery service AT&T uses (UPS, if I remember correctly) and what AT&T uses as the order reference number... The Apple Web Order number (minus the last 2 digits) is also a reference number that can be used via the "track by reference"... but not sure how AT&T would modify the order number, if they even use it... sounds to me like a bit of a crap-shoot to find it.

On the UPS website (not sure about the app), tap arrow on the right end of the empty tracking number box - you will then get a screen where you can choose Reference, Email, etc... that's where you enter your reference number.
Nope. I missed one detail. It's by State AND by Phone Carrier. ATT phones use one shipping carrier and Verizon uses another, etc... and Apple another.
Nice find. I’ve was wondering what was going on, but this piece fits the puzzle nicely.

My Watch left Hong Kong at 3:52am as well, so is probably on the same flight. However, I did notice this on the UPS website regarding Cathay Pacific flights:
"Lithium Batteries
All types of Lithium Batteries are prohibited on Cathay Pacific flights (which UPS use for shipments to Hong Kong.)"
iPhones/Apple Watches have Lithium Batteries. Maybe their is an exception for Apple?
I saw that same website. If you look at the top of the page it’s for flights from the US to Hong Kong.
Hopefully we'll be seeing some updates tomorrow likely? If not then definitely Thursday for most.
I hope so.. I was going to call Apple to find out why my status hasn't changed for a few days but I'd prob get nowhere..
yes try and let us know, mine is from UPS, also try first your phone # if not work then your order # minus last 2 digits

Mine too: we’ll still get them Friday.
Did you try to track via UPS or FedEX
When did you order and what variation iphone? Plane landed in anchorage i am guessing most people's order must be in there.
I tried but no luck. I tried phone # and order # and no luck. Ups says tracking not available at this time. Fed ex says the numbers doesn't exist... all I can hope is that the status changes soon..
Yes it should deliver on Friday mine came to Anchorage AK USA tonight sometime after 9PM. Other poster poster there’s another plane coming soon to AK, they must have everyone’s order. This time ordering was easy and looks like not many sold in the first few hours.

Mine is 8+64GB silver sim-free, you placed order really early it should come, after placing my order i was checking which iphone is selling fast and it was gold and space grey with 256GB Sim-free which ran out first. Currently i have 256GB and 50GB left. I don’t know how i will manage 64GB lol. I found 256GB expensive plus i have 7+ 256GB. Bought 8+ because the full glass body is tempting

Ordering was super easy and not as bad as I thought. I wonder what's taking them so long to update our shipping status's... if I don't get an update tomorrow, I'm calling apple
