I had to call UPS to send special delivery instructions to drop off the package at my package room in my apt complex, since it was not a required selectable option for where to leave the package when I authorized pre-signing

Two reps said in their system it shows oct 23 delivery, even though on myUPS it shows oct 21st.

I wouldn't get your hopes up too much. Possible one or two lucky people will slip through, but its probably 99% gonna be Friday.
 
Should we be worried if we can't track by reference number yet. I got my order confirmation email at 8:02 ET (two minutes after the store opened) and am starting to panic that I won't have it 10/23? Just because I ordered my watch for launch day last month and it arrived three days late :( I'm worried.

Don't be, there is a chance that it may be in US already also. We don't know if they pre-staged some already. I've had personally had shipments not show any movement on UPS till Wednesday and leave China till Thursday. I received the Phone on Friday for launch day in CA. It went from ANC to Louisville back to LA.

You should not be worried. There have been years that I didn't have a tracking number when I went to bed before launch day and it still managed to make it.

There is nothing to worry about.
 
after debating between 12 pro and 12 pro max, i ended up preordered the 12 pro via IUP this morning. est delivery date 11/10 - 11/17. wish i made up my mind earlier so i could've preordered it last friday, oh well.

Called UPS to see if I can get a delivery time window. They said no right now, stated delivery shows as of tomorrow in the system and to keep an eye on tracking.

Did you take the last two digits off the order number when searching by reference? Also, do you use UPS My Choice? Mine shows up on the calendar.

No need to worry. There have been times when people, including me, didn't receive tracking info until the day of delivery when all of a sudden tons of tracking info populated: the package was moving over several days, but it didn't get updated where I could see it in the system. One year, I had an iPad fly straight to the Fedex airport in Fort Worth from China with two days until launch day, and it made it to me on launch day. (I know the iPhones are UPS, but they can move very fast).
 
All my accessories came in just a few mins ago :) I was thinking on returning the Otterbox Aneu Case but in fact, I like it A LOT. Just waiting for the 3 x Apple wallets to be delivered: poppy and brown by Nov 10th and FREE black by Nov 27th. The black is free because Apple messed up the colors in my order so they offered me a free of charge wallet.

I like that Smart Folio, which iPad did you get?

For the Otterbox case, is the MagSafe aspect almost a sticker inside of the case?
 
Well if we were on that plane, theoretically, all items need to be removed and then more shipments added to go to the next destination because the same plane is scheduled to move on to O'Hare in Chicago in 34 minutes from the writing of this post.

A Wednesday delivery would be nice but I’m not counting on it. At this point I would be happy if UPS My Choice would allow me to change my delivery to pick up at my nearest UPS Customer Center. It still doesnt.
 
And still on the 11:57 scan from the 18th. Real patience test going on here. Hoping scans just got missed.

I was in the same boat about deciding which one I wanted. I am going to go with the Pro Max. At least you will be able to track shipments at the same time as the Pro Max starts to ship out.
