1,001 time this has been stated. Apple does't mark them as shipped until they clear customs. This is not a mistake it's due to how they are shipped
Just got an email notice from Apple saying my XS Max silicone case won’t be arriving today as scheduled. Just found it on tracking and it sat in Memphis for THREE DAYS, before leaving on a flight out to Great Falls, MT today. That, is bad. Hopefully FedEx is the only bad one since my watch and phone are UPS.
Been away for a bit. Any of you guys figure out what flight we are probably on if still in

Nope.
They don’t show you tracking in the Apple App until it’s in the states and heading to your city.
It’s all over this thread, must be the 100th time someone has come in here and just blindly said something like this
Apple is not the one behind the 8 ball
My case sat a day then the UPS trailer was late and then after that they incorrectly sorted it and it said it was delayed. All that and it still made it today on time. UPS is pretty good at fixing their mistakes to avoid delays
Would like to know this as well
I am 100% with you on this... haven’t even thought about it before you said anything tho. There is a reason why we don’t have the “shipped” email yet. The average everyday consumer would freak out and customer service would have hours upon hours of wait time regarding all the misreads.
Yes your order probably won’t change to shipped until it leaves the UPS hub in Louisville.
Just because we are able to track it here doesn’t mean it’s supposed to show up on Apple’s order status page, that’s why Apple will deny even having a tracking number for you. If you have a 21st delivery date you will get it then and most likely by tomorrow morning the order status will change to shipped. You should have given yourself some room for error even in these times things can happen or you could have waited. Looking at your posts from last year you have been having the same issues
Well if it still makes it here tonight via FedEx I’ll eat crow, but usually my FedEx guy is out in this area around 1 or 2 PM. So i don’t seem him coming back out today. It’s no biggie it’s just the case, but if it had been the phone with it’s “weekday only” shipping and they miss Friday, i would be a little upset.
Exactly. Hmm lemme think gunna leave the US for months but lemme Pre Order an iPhone and hope it shows up when the earliest it possibly can get here is 1 day before i leave the country. Apple shouldn't have to find a solution for you. This is a You problem
Lol refund because you didn’t receive it. First world problems.
1) FYI, for anybody worried, you're being told over and over to not to. UPS can get your phone from China to your local UPS center so it makes the delivery truck much quicker than you think. I've had times when the plane lands hours before the delivery trucks move out and it makes it.
2) Its plausible your phone isn't where you think it is with UPS.
3) Apple/UPS have been doing this for a decade and every year they get it done. A tincy tincy portion of people get their shipment messed up. It won't be you.
4) I've been doing this for 8 years (since the 4S). I've had plenty of "oh my goodness it won't make it" moments. Never happens.
Relax, your phone will be in your hands Friday.

Tentative means nothing. Your phone will make 9/21.
I am still in Incheon. Good thing I have plenty of tv shows I can watch to keep me busy.

I got so stressed out about package tracking that I just ordered a S4 SS 44mm 
Watch.
