Question about “Follow my delivery/driver” feature. Is this available to every single UPS package or only to UPS my choice members? If only for members, does the tracking # has to be automatically shown to my ups account to be able to utilize the “follow the delivery“? I have my choice account however, I manually added my iphone 12PM tracking# to my ups account since hubby ordered it under his name. Not sure if I will be able to track my driver in this case. I hope it makes sense lol

Then leave. Because that is what this is about. We meet up annually to track phones, watch flights, joint “teams” like team twilight and the 920 gang.... it’s fun for us... and in such a crappy world these days, it’s innocent fun.
Shout out to anyone who was with me on #TeamTyphoon a few years ago! We had fun commiserating with each other and watching our phones bounce around between China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan, trying to escape the storm.

The follow driver function is hit or miss. Sometimes it happens. Sometimes it doesn't. My XBOX delivered Monday with no truck tracking. And I am a premium member

Talk to apple to release the hold and make the payments to citizen one. I wanted to do the same for iPhone 11 last month, but went through same situation. Ended up giving iPhone 11 back to Apple as didn't want the hassle of releasing the hold and what not!
okay will talk to them in a bit and see what can be done!

Mine tracks by address not name. Package gets added automatically when tracking number gets created. Follow My Delivery is available for every package that gets added automatically.

Got departure scan from SDF. Next stop Indianapolis. Apple Store app also just updated from “delayed” to “arriving tomorrow”. On the home stretch now!

It's dependent on if they have it active or not. My Amazon packages tend to appear with it, sometimes it doesn't. I'm wondering if it'll appear tomorrow, as iPhone delivery day is always such a load to UPS, so I imagine their web traffic will also be at load.

Right, I think that is the same flight we were on. The departure scan was at 2:34 but the plane didn’t actually take off until 4:26 and actually arrived at 2:14 in Louisville? Flight CKS817?

Never mind, I must have been looking at the wrong tracking for you. Sounds like with either flight, it’ll get to you on time tomorrow. Looking forward to hanging out in Louisville. Mine probably won’t jump a truck until sometime during the night.
We took off last night from China and I think you were already in Alaska at that time. By the time I made it to Alaska you already had gotten on board to KY. I'm just right behind ya :).

It was a wishful thinking and I had wished to travel with u that but didn't happened (Remember got stuck in China) :( However, excited to catch up with you in Kentucky :). Couple more hours should get an arrival scan to Kentucky soon.

That's what I was going to say. Sometimes it's available on some packages and not on others. Don't know what the criteria is for this feature.

Also, when the package is out for delivery you can actually follow and see the truck on the UPS app.
That feature can be sketchy at times. I followed a couple of different UPS deliveries of mine and the map showed the truck driving around some little town in New Jersey and another truck driving around NYC. Well, I live in Dallas. A couple of hours later, UPS dropped of the package at my front door here in Texas.

So basically I won’t be able to stalk my driver since I manually added the package tracking# BUMMER

11/10 12:42 departure from AK; Apple shipped email and text received with delivered tomorrow, but no import scan yet and still with an Exception. I’m wondering if it’s because I requested a pickup from my local hub? Or, my plane mysteriously disappeared and I will have to haunt my local Apple stores tomorrow for same day pickup.😂
