Last year if I remember correctly the tracking went live in the ups app as soon as the label was created. No need to search it by reference...Although it was different year and weird launch
Yep, I'm keeping an eye on both just in case.

Before going to bed last night I sent out a massive internal email to the International Aviation department to Cargolux. Cargolux Airlines will be carrying out our iPhones. Transporting it from China to Anchorage. I am very happy to report I got a response from a personnel name Kevin.

Below is the set and confirmed internal/confidential schedule for the flight availability over the weekend. Expecting Departure Scan status based on the set/finalized schedule below.

I have a feeling for the majority of us On 09/20/2021 Flight 9781 CGO > ANC will be carrying our iPhones. It is scheduled for tomorrow.

Along with that, I was able to get assurance and a confirmed confirmation.

Those of you who don't know. This is what our plane will look like. Carrying pallets and pallets of iPhones.

Awesome info! Slight correction: if that schedule is to be believed, this will be the aircraft: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/lx-vcc It's a 747-8, the newer variant of the 747 :)
 
Since I missed opening day due to my phone being gone at 5 plus past (usual experience in central Illinois) I am curious does UPS let your wife/husband/partner/or other at your address receive/sign if one is gone? I assume so and I might ask when my phone ships for the 10/6-10/11 window I ended up with. I have two days gone during that window but my wife willing to be here (we are both retired but she does substitute TA work at schools but can choose schedule). Also as is always my experience on the post opening day arrival shipping time they often (not always) ship earlier than those dates so if that happens I am gone to rock and fossil show during that window again she will have to be here and then I have to wait til I get home to play LOL. Just curious I have always been able to be here now this is in question but my wife graciously will do that for me.
 
Does anyone here recommend otterbox or spiegen or Apple clear case for drop protection?
I've always used Spigen cases and love the protection they offer at a very reasonable price. Sometimes they yellow over time, but not always. I just ordered one for my 13 Pro, supposed to arrive today!

They don’t really ask for signatures if they did anyone could sign because it’s just verified that it was received
 
Sierra Blue looks stunning in this photo.
It looks like it changes the color depending on the lighting effects on the premises. Reminds me of the beaches in Bahamas, Jamaica.

Ok so I’ve completed my little hissy fit from yesterday morning. I reserved myself a 12 Pro 512GB for pickup on Friday. I can stop by after work to pick the thing up.
Lucky you the nearest store to me is over 100 miles one way just not all that convenient shipping is always far better option unfortunately and it seems that choice did not have enough of what people wanted vs using store. Be glad you have that option. If it were under 50 miles I might consider that option but for me the closest stores are in Chicago for me (130 miles one way for closest Chicago site on south side suburbs)
