No need to worry. Still plenty of time for UPS to get something to the US with time to spare.
Got a tip for us?

Gosh! I love that Red color! Will have to see if my 12Pro Gold will look as good or better. Otherwise, I might return the Gold 12Pro and preorder the red Mini instead
Everyone......................................you phone will be there on Friday.
It's not "you phone" it's "iPhone"! 
maybe prefer you just order through carrier and let them handle individual shipping. keep other resellers happy
Happy "You Aren't Getting Your iPhone Today" Day, ya'll!!!!! 😁
I've ordered a silver iPhone 12 Pro. I ordered it within the first three minutes of 5 AM the 16th. It's supposed to be delivered Friday the 23rd. It is sitting in preparing to ship and I haven't received a shipped email yet. I am in the San Francisco Bay area. Is anyone else's phone scheduled to deliver on the 23rd and hasn't even shipped yet? I don't see how it can get from China to me in two days.
Everyone is in this boat. Apple doesn't considered your order "shipped" until it is in the US and has been loaded off the shipping pallet. Your phone is sitting in Louisville, KY right now. On the UPS website, you can use "Track by Reference Number" and enter the phone number associated with your order and it should pull up the tracking.
I have seen the phones get from China to my door overnight. You will be fine. You might already have a tracking number if you search by reference number as other posts in this thread can explain. But even if not, it is exceedingly likely you get your phone
Don't worry, last year my 11 pro max tracking said in China all the way until Thursday night. Friday morning is when they post a bunch of updates including out for delivery.
It's been new faces for me each year. I would like to see some familiar users now and then.
When I tried track by reference it asks for a date range I don't know what they mean by that it always gives me an error message for the date range no matter what dates I put in.
Sometimes you could post something on your door with a signature? I do that sometimes and have no issues with them accepting that. But yes, they should be contactless
Yes, we know this. Let these people have fun. lol
When I got the SE, they had a way to Waive Signature in the tracking. Problem was I did that but they still left the missed you tag. Why even have the choice if they don't leave the package?
if you read through all the reviews you would’ve seen mine and others that are in the same boat. This is the fifth day that mine shows it’s still preparing for shipment. However Apple well send out the iPhone on time regardless I’ll be possible unforeseen snafu.
It’s funny it still shows delivery today on the my choice list Even though the tracking says Friday.
Mine shows the same. Guess MyChoice didn't get the memo from Apple.
Yes once they get the import scan or destination scan it usually updates.

No there isn’t because you don’t need to sign. Says it right on your order.
It's up to the drivers discretion to honor that tho. If they feel like it's not safe, they won't leave it. But with this COVID-19 it's quite possible they might just leave it, who knows. I have mine set to be picked up at the UPS CC.
Well you know COVID was going to change everything this year! NOT
Apple is Apple and money talks. I have a suspicion that they play UPS vs Fedex against each other. All my accessories are coming from FedEx. But when the iPhones come they arrive from UPS year after year. It's always the same thing, and as I've said, I've had it in Kentucky on Thursday evening and it still made it back to LA the next morning.
And of course Crickets from Apple till it gets scanned in Louisville. So i don't ever look there.
