LMAO just say they lost it and hold everyone up then look again and be like oh damn wrong CC.
yeah, the few times I've done it there has been a line. But my Hub/CC is a pretty big one. To be honest, it just isn't pickups it's also the daily shipments from ordinary people too who are there.
Is it typical for it to still say “preparing to ship” at this point? Delivery still showing for 9/21.
Getting worried, still on "Preparing to Ship." Seems like a lot of people have gotten their tracking numbers already!
Checked My UPS:
ZhengZhou, China 09/17/2018 2:10 A.M. Arrival Scan
ZhengZhou, China 09/16/2018 11:57 P.M. Departure Scan
China 09/17/2018 12:04 P.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS

We don't have our tracking number because apple gave them to us. We looked them up on UPS. I have a tracking number and delivery date of 9/21 from UPS and apple still says "Preparing to Ship"
Welcome to the 11:57/2:10 club...I'm gonna make t-shirts!
The reason the dates are all over like that is because its a World Ease shipment. So all the packages are getting combined into one shipment to be sent to the US. This is why some of us saw them move before the order was processed.
I used ApplePay on Apple.com and got a call from my credit unions fraud department yesterday right when apple went to charge my debit card. Thank god my bank allowed it to go through and didn't automatically decline it.

Easy way is sign up for UPS MyChoice and it shows packages coming to your address. If not you can track by reference and use the phone number on the order or the order number itself. If you use the order number just don't enter the last 2 numbers.
Yep it probably won't show shipped on Apple until it is in the US and clears customs. They use a UPS product called world ease which allows multiple shipments going to the same place to be combined into one. Each package is still trackable but its basically considered 1 shipment until it's cleared customs and at the UPS hub in the US
Your all good. They can get it here from China in a day and to your house in a day so don't worry until Wednesday afternoon up until then they have plenty of time.
The .6kg package is also a watch. I have two on order and a phone... two .6kg packages and one .5kg package.
Try "Track by Reference" on the UPS website and use either the phone number that's associated with your Apple account, or your order number minus the last two digits: that's how most of us got our tracking info. Regardless, you don't need to worry at this point.
I’m in the same exact group!
I wonder when our phones will head to the states?
Just look at the reference number that has a W in it thats all but the last 2 numbers of your Apple order number if you have multiple orders look at that and you can see which it is.
Yes it's typical. Apple won't change the status to Shipped until it's import scan, which is likely Wednesday or Thursday.
Yep the Import scan is when each shipment in the World Ease bundle becomes it's own and is actually on it's way to the receiver.
