I second that. She has made the thread more fun and this is my first year tracking my phone from China as well.
Got a tip for us?

I arrived in Anchorage at 12:21am!
should i be worried if my 12 pro max still says preparing to ship?? it says it should come on friday but is stuck at preparing to ship
no. Apple does not update their app/website until your phone is in the states. Mine did not update until Thursday and it got delivered Friday. Use UPS My Choice to track your phone.
Greetings! I am new to the forums. Ordered my 512gb pro max the minute they opened preorders!
Has anyone called UPS again to see if the pilot knows where Louisville is?
The pilot has no idea. According to my tracking, they’re still flying around trying to find a destination. I think Bigfoot has my phone. 😆
Did you try tracking it on the UPS site? UPS My Choice is free. If you don’t have it, set it up with the same email address and phone number you use with Apple. Then track by reference using your order number minus tha last digit. Mine still says Preparing for Shipment but tracking says it already left Anchorage.
This is excellent news, StaceyMJ86!
My mini is hanging out in Louisville.
Alaska is a fueling stop; Louisville is Customs.
Safe travels home, one & all!
The fact that Apple says PTS means nothing. What does your UPS My Choice say? Mine says PTS too but UPS tracking says it shipped on 11/8 and left Anchorage 11/10 12:24am.
Sorry, but I’ve been using My UPS since Monday (it’s now Wednesday) trying my phone number or order number and all I get is “no information.” Although in the past Apple has always delivered on time, things change and I’m getting discouraged that they’ll do it this time.

Preparing to ship means, it’s not dispatched to its final destination. It’s just the way apple designates it. If they sent tracking numbers when they started to move, there would be more freak outs than those of us that watch the shipments.
the XS launch was a terrible one for me. It took forever for my number to populate in ups then it didn’t leave China until 9p on the Wed. Luckily I have been through this since forever.
Apple will deliver. Launch day means launch day.
We have lift off from Anchorage. I hope we don’t go missing like the other crew.
This FUD is real. Have faith. You may not even get one until it dispatches to shipped. Has happened to me. It’s the worst feeling.
They may not scan it sometimes, but those who left Anchorage, AK, is already on the ground at SDF. This is my scan for the iPhone 12 Pro pre-order. It departed on 10/19/20 8:34 PM and never got the arrival scan but then bam on 10/22/20 the import scan.
Sorry, yours has most likely not shipped yet. It might another week before it ships for a 24-30 November delivery window.
All the excitement here are mostly people who ordered within minutes of launch and have a delivery of 13th November.
Your next step is to wait for preparing to ship.
Well Alaska is the States. Mine left there on 11/10 at 12:24am and Apple still says it’s PTS. I’m sure it’s not still circling Anchorage. Must be in Louisville by now but not scanned through customs yet. I think they scan in batches. I think Apple updates once it’s been scanned through customs in Louisville. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
