What happened if you don't mind me asking? Do you have any pictures of your old tracking information?

Unfortunately I do not. If I remember correctly one plane carrying the phones turned around and went back due to weather. It didn’t get into the US until Friday, but it was delivered to me on Saturday morning by about 9am
 
The link for the shortcut isn't working. Everytime I click the "Get Shortcut" button all it does it take me to the app store to the "Shortcuts App page again.

If you’re using the Reddit app, click the link to the shortcut and press the three dots in the top right corner, then open in safari.

My phone showed up on UPS My Choice yesterday but I've yet to get a shipping notification from Apple. My phone is set to arrive Friday. The trouble is, we're going out of town.

For anyone who may know, how much time does it realistically add to change your delivery to a UPS store or pick up location? When I went to My Choice and saw what changing the option does, it says the new estimated delivery to the nearby UPS Store would be Monday. That seems a little excessive to take it to a location about a mile from my home.

We will be back home Saturday and I'd ideally love to get the phone then!
 
I don’t evert remember hearing about this..

I believe someone mentioned it as well on here at some point. I ordered two, one for me and one for my wife. My wife’s was delivered on Friday as scheduled but mine wasn’t until Saturday. There was quite a few of us. It was very similar to the deal with this ZZ group that hasn’t moved in a couple days. We all took off and then we saw that it came back and we freaked. Apple and UPS did what they could and got us our phones on Saturday. I’m sure there are some others on this thread that had this happen as well and they may remember the specifics better than I do

So I was part of the 2:10 am phones stuck in ZZ and was pretty late to the party getting to ZZ. Woke up this morning to find my phone got put on the flight from ZZ to Anchorage this morning and is now in Louisville. To whatever ups/Apple magician stopped my phone from going to Incheon and got it direct to Alaska, thank you!!!
 
Hey guys, is there anyone apart from me who still has Preparing to Ship after paying with Arrives Fri Sep 21? (US)
 
My tracking has it departing Shenzhen on 9/18 at 9 pm China time... 24 hours ago and it has yet to arrive anywhere... so yeah ups tracking is broken this year
 
There usually are issues with the updates during the launch times. If you know how to use it, you can get a better idea of exactly where if you know how to use Flight Aware and know the normal Apple shipping routes. Like mine, currently, is in Anchorage, Alaska. I know that it should be going to Nashville next. From there it will go to Oak Creek WI (for me, of course), and from there out to my local hub. Knowing that information, and matching the updates with UPS, I can track the UPS flights through to Oak Creek, and from Oak Creek I know it's only a few hours from my local hub on a truck. Mine's almost home.

I think it goes from Anchorage to Louisvile, not Nashville. That's where they all go first.

Mine goes there then flies back to CA

Considering that UPS2997 landed in Louisville over an hour and a half ago and people still haven't gotten arrival scans, I'm guessing that tracking is experiencing some problems and can't really be trusted right now.

Those of us supposedly in Incheon might actually be on our way to Anchorage for all we know!
