Would you mind sharing that shortcut?

Here you go: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/e8e057b99a6e46899190ce1ecf826420

You'll see inside of the Get Contents of URL action > Advanced > Request Body, you'll need to go into Security and fill in the Username Token dictionary with your UPS username and pass. Then inside the UPSServiceAccessToken is where your UPS API key goes. I just have placeholders in those fields, so you just have to change them to your info. TrackRequest also has a field for your tracking number.

Then you can change the output text as well. There's things like times and dates in the API response but I'm not sure how to format them properly so that Siri doesn't read out a weird number string (i.e. "054600" should be turned into 5:46am)

Woke up to great news!! Order just changed to “Preparing for Shipment” on my 64GB SG Max (T-Mo IUP) with a ship date of 9/28-10/5!!! Hopefully it comes by early next week ahead of schedule!!

I stopped looking at Deliveries. Both my phone and watch show Preparing to Ship there, clone of my orders in the Apple store. UPS online is much more up to date. Maybe I’m missing something.

Especially if your UPS MY Choice member, you get more up to date info than Deliveries.

Idc what it’s on I’m just glad it’s out of ZZ haha.

Props to whoever it was that identified this third party cargo plane leaving out of ZZ yesterday. (The plane from the company based out of Michigan) Like others predicted, it appears the plane is also the one currently flying from Anchorage to Louisville. They just touched down in Anchorage for fuel.

“It’s exactly as the prophecy predicted!!!??!!!!”

If only we could pick up in Louisville. Imagine the level of traffic. Like a Woodstock for Nerds...

I scrolled back... Props to our Prophet @baine for the first prediction on this flight. Not only did you break Batman’s back but you are both a gentleman and scholar. Thank you sir! (Or ma’am)

Mines sitting there too. My watch is still in Shanghai.

A little nervous but keeping faith in UPS.

Mine left ZZ today.

Same. Shanghai'd in Shanghai.

This is the first time I’ve seen my iPhone originate from Shenzhen and not ZZ

I think ZZ is that main location and Shenzhen is a overflow location. Important thing is you will have your phone Friday my poor Apple Watch is still in Shanghai.

Go under track by reference number, enter your phone number on your Apple account (mine is my home number) you’ll get current status and UPS tracking number. Worked for me prior 10 years.

it’s worked on the past but i didnt register my phone number onto the phone when i ordered it. i have my tracking number and it says it’s in ZZ so tracking by reference won’t show me any different.

Well I think the first "batch" of Xs's like mine have been now in Hong Kong for almost 48 hours (two days) and no scan movement indicated.

Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong 09/17/2018 8:29 P.M. Arrival Scan
Shenzhen, China 09/17/2018 6:30 P.M. Departure Scan
09/17/2018 3:50 P.M. Origin Scan
China 09/17/2018 3:43 P.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS

Two days??? Wow - I think about how seeing it sit for one has been.
It looks like the UPS banner flights from Hong Kong to Ankorage are close to leaving - hopefully this is it for one or both of us....

5:48 PM Departure Scan

I am in the same boat. Left at 5:48 pm from ZZ.

It looks like my tracking is delayed by almost 24 hours. So keep that in mind...

You do realize that the whole world is not in your time zone... right?

China is 14 hours ahead of me. I just got tracking that my phone left Shenzhen last night.. which would have been yesterday morning here in mt.
Unless I’m missing something, those scans were really delayed. And some people got the same scan to show up in their ups hours before I did.

 

[DarkSel]

We’re in business!! XS Max Silver 256 that was stuck in ZZ until right now.

 

[knoxtown]

Still preparing to ship. 256 Xs Black

Was in the 2:10a ZZ group, but it's left Anchorage AK at this point as expected. Slightly surprised my watch is still Shanghai'd but that will likely change today. No reason to be nervous, UPS does what it does when it needs to. Wash rinse repeat every year...
