Have the Pro Max ordered and was in AK flight left limbo status for the last few days. Just got a text from Apple that my order "had shipped" but no updates from UPS tracking. So, guess I'm good for tomorrow and I'll get UPS tracking updated soon.
BTW, neither Apple or UPS is handling this tracking well. Apple doesn't have the initial shipped notification from China and UPS provides a bunch of detail at the beginning and then leaves tracking updates alone after the AK flight takes off. They should probably just do an "in transit" if they're going to do only partial detailing. But that's just me.
