Then make sure you have the address your iPhone is being sent to set in your UPS MyChoice preferences. Use the phone number and/or email you used to order it.View attachment 1491019

Any shipment incoming should now show up in manage home deliveries under the tracking main menu.
Thanks a lot for that. However, how can I do it without an account? Like through here:

I noticed that UPS Premium is now $19.99 not $40 as it used to be.
 
Can someone please post an image example of how to search/track by reference on UPS? I want to check if I'm doing right. Tried with my phone number (several text formats) and with the order number from Apple (and without the W) and nothing is coming up :/ Maybe mine is with Fedex?

A couple of things...

First, where are you located? If you're in the US, the iPhone is coming via UPS. Period.

As far as finding your tracking number, it's very early in the process - you still have 6 days to go... so just because some have found their tracking number, it doesn't mean that everyone will (yet).

Finally, if your order confirmation says you will receive your phone on 11/13, there is a 99.999% chance that it will arrive on 11/13, as promised.

No need to stress...

In Puerto Rico. We usually receive from UPS on the Apple Store... but my friend told me that in the past they use FedEX here too.

Select track by reference number:

Then fill the form out as follows:

If your phone has shipped, this will find your shipment. However finding shipments by this method limits information to the last four digits of the tracking # and the estimated delivery date.

If you want more info you’ll need the full tracking number or a MyChoice account.

EDIT
Looks like you beat me to it man02195!

There will be movement soon. This is normal to not have many changes on the day after. Usually 'Preparing to Ship' doesn't come until late Saturday/Early Sunday (along with charges to your credit card -- a good indication that something is about to happen). This year PTS triggered a bit early so we thought there would be more action.

Shanghai is a day ahead though and it's morning there now. We'll all start to get shipping notices or find them through UPS -- and mind you we'll see them long before Apple sends a notice with the tracking number -- and then there will be scans in and out of areas of Shanghai or thereabouts as the phones move towards Inchon where they will hang for a day or so in customs.

Again, this is all normal. We'll see the status "Exception" a lot while they are in customs but all is well. Then they will head over to Alaska and from there to the main UPS hub in Kentucky and usually from there to their destination. We love following that sort of 'tick-tock' of events because it's a nice way of passing the time here but we're not at all concerned. As long as your phone is in motion by Monday morning it will get there on Friday.
 
Alright, this type of comment is funny the first time, but it can get old after a few times so let’s not wear it out. ;)

Oh your gonna hear it; if you’ve been around before you are well aware you might as well get used to it. But hey, if it’s the fight you’re determined to fight today knock yourself out
 
I ended up going to the hospital for a severe and unexplained headache and neck pain yesterday, and insisted that my husband wait to drive me there until after my order went through and gave me confirmation. 😂
It appears that you have your priorities straight. Seriously, I hope you are okay.
