Precisely I’m trying to remember how long they sat in Anchorage before leaving Kentucky. I think they moved within the same day. Then the phones sat in Kentucky to wait for the other iPhones to catch up..
Got a tip for us?

I have one for 0.70kg but I know for sure it is my watch (order# is in the reference). Double check to be sure, I think the phones are seeing weights of 0.5kg.
Yeah they usually scan in, go through customs acceptance, and then they get "scanned" when they are moved to holding. Once it gets to the night before, that's when we see movement again as they are put back into sorting and sent out to the planes that overnight them to the hubs from SDF.
I remember last year I got really worried, and my phone ended up shipping from within the US. Whether it was already here, or it was shipped here on a "generic" pallet and then broken off and labeled for my order, I am not sure. Most of everyone had phones coming from CN so I felt left out on the tracking gamehaha.

I don't think so, unless you sign up for a UPS account for your business and use Quantum View. If I remember, the account setup is free back when I did it. Alas, MyChoice is only for homes - and they use the publicly available data to verify your identity so you need to use your actual home address for the signup.
Huh? I always use to have mine delivered to work. Today I looked in MyChoice and saw that my accessories were being delivered to my ex-employer this Wednesday, so changed to delivery at my house.
Yup same as last year. Most people were saying that the planes should and could go straight to Louisville. When it’s a shorter distance from China to ANC to refill and clear customs and go Louisville from there..
Surprisingly it was updated, even though there’s no further info as to location or anything. I feel better still.
I am not sure, I know MyChoice is supposed to only work for residential addresses. Not sure otherwise, just was answering to what I know.
Are you worried about the hold going through? Missed your post where you brought up what you are discussing...
Your MyChoice preferences won't go through until it is accepted through customs. Once it gets customs clearance (usually enroute from or at WorldPort in Louisville), it will process as a normal internal package and then it will get finalized. I have seen it where even on my domestic packages, MyChoice changes don't get done until it reaches my city and is sorted in the morning. The system knows when it needs to post the change - and when they scan it, it boots it off and that's when a new label is put on or it is rerouted, as needed.
I’m worried because I couldn’t select the CC to have my iPhone held for me to pick up. I reached out to UPS help on twitter and it looks like they did it but I’m a little worried it won’t go through but let’s see.
If it says hold for pickup, and they were able to put it through, I am gonna assume you will be fine - as long as you got the right customer center. Thankfully Rochester, NY only has one and it is literally around the corner from me so I pick it up each year as I am on my way home from work. I hope it works out for you man! Either way I am sure you will be fine.
Got the 2:10am ZhengZhou scan as well. My guess is that we'll see another scan in the next 12 hours, or mid-morning tomorrow. I think it's like one more China scan and then off to AK.
Unless it gets held by customs like our 7+'s a few years ago and went on the crazy world tour of Incheon, China, and back and forth. That was torture!

I’m in the 230AM departure group and still in transit. Saw some if you guys saying arrival back in China. Anyone else still in transit?
I’m definitely feeling better than earlier. I gave them the specific location I wanted so I’m sure that’s where they put it. Thanks man!
We go through this every year... the tracking sometimes appears strange... and remember, Apple is still reporting "Preparing for Shipment"... but fear not... if you got a delivery date of 9/21, you'll get your phone on 9/21.
But it is confusing to those of us "playing at home".

Guaranteed that you won't get it early.
I do the same as you and can’t figure out how to bypass it. I ordered my XS Max and it was being shipped to my house. I contacted Apple and switched the address to my business. Somehow the shipment showed up in UPS my choice. I think it might have to be linked to your name and email that you use for My Choice and it will show up but I am not completely sure.
I have my UPS tracking number, which was just assigned, but I am unsure which product it's for―my new iPhone or my new watch. If what you are saying is true, then it must be for my watch...
I'm still stuck on "Preparing to ship" (eye roll)
I'll just assume or hope it will leave tonight, tomorrow... My 6+ did the same thing...seemed to leave at the last second, but arrived in time. Last year's 8+ came from 100 west in Harrisburg, PA. Beats me.
