I couldn't find my order at all this week using the ship by reference, but tonight I did it and used my phone number and it pulled it right up. It departed Tennessee a few hours ago. Funny thing is the charge from Apple dropped off my CC so I "Technically" haven't paid them but my bank said they'll eventually finalize the charge. My Apple app still says preparing for shipping though

The same on Spanish Apple Store. "Preparing for shipment".
When your shipment changes to "on its way", did you receive an email from Apple with the tracking number? or you're burning the F5 on the Apple Store?

Received an email, that's how I know. Still showing arrival scan at Louisville on the UPS My Choice tracking.
 
Website shows the pic. Both app and website show what the app screenshot says. In the app, I can change location but only to a UPS location (no longer back home)
So my apple order status changed to ship. Looks like is shipping Via UPS. Which is fine. But don't know if I can change delivery? I get this (attached). Maybe it's early? It says Ready for UPS. So doesn't seem like it's picked up yet.

If you change delivery it may add one business day to deliver, which would be Monday.
 
Just curious here. From my previous experience I have it held for pick up and get it launch day when UPS warehouse opens. Mine via Apple says “next day air”. Will that deliver at a certain time or they have until 8 pm tomorrow night?

Nope. I've done it before and will get it on the day of promised delivery. changing or requesting pick up never effected my delivery date at all.

Edit: Well I take that back a little. I believe that's if you choose to redirect it to the UPS Store. I don't think that's the case if you choose the option to pick it up at UPS CC. I just did it and confirmed that it would be ready for pick up on 9/22/17.

It looks like I can. I found out I had put a different name so I changed it to my given name and I can change to have it pick it up I'll probably have it pick up at UPS CC.

Mine said Next Day Air as well. But delivers by End of day. From what I understand, they deliver to business first and then residential. So it depends. For example, there are times I see the UPS truck in my Condo area usually after 3 pm and sometime as late as 6 pm. Anyways I was able to request a hold for pick up at my local UPS CC starting on Friday. So I'll be picking it up there tomorrow.

Same here
[doublepost=1505989507][/doublepost]I think will never arrive on tomorrow, at least for spain.
 
Finally got a tracking number from Apple this AM. Scheduled UPS to hold it for me and I will pick it up in the morning at 8:00 AM! It is coming from Mt.Juliet, TN. It was here the whole time.

Yes. Once I see movement I will have mine to be held for pickup

I too just selected pick up at ups cc location. Ups delivery for my area is always 5-7pm.
