My 13 Pro Max Sierra Blue 512 is moving! Has anyone been able to get around UPS's "masking"? This doesn't show up in my choice yet but I was able to find it with my phone number and zip code.
Mine showed up under MyChoice soon after. I wasn’t able to unmask when I found my iPhone via reference number though!
 
Woke up to some scan info 🎉😎

I just noticed something weird.. If someone looks at their tracking details on UPS (have to use their website, not the app) -- and you look at the "Reference number" section -- do you see what looks like other people's phone numbers listed in the reference numbers section in addition to your own? I think this may be because they leave off the last number of the order number in the reference section. My number is the 631 number.. But there also looks like there is a 352 and possibly a 394 phone number in there too.

Good morning and Happy Sunday Folks!

I just woke up. It is currently 06:00 AM PST. September 19, 2021. I just checked MyUPS and my tracking number has appeared. I'm so glad the tracking number showed up overnight. Many of you are also reporting your tracking number being showing up overnight as well. That alone made me very happy and excited. We are expecting a lot of movement today. As stated in yesterday's post #4,317. Get ready to see lots of scanning today.

I will see you in China. No one is going to be left behind today. Everyone should have their tracking numbers ready and getting ready to get out of China!!! Happy and safe travels. Get your boarding pass out and make sure you stay strong!
Have a wonderful day!!! & Let's get it!!!

Also, remember most of us will depart on this flight below. Scheduled by Cargolux. China is a day ahead of us.

Thats not really the whole story with "Find My". The wallet can also update its location with ANY iOS device thats in the "Find My" network. So, if you leave your (new) Magsafe wallet somewhere and travel 20 miles from it -- but 3 hours later, someone else with an iPhone (that hasn't turned off participation in the "Find My Network") comes near it, the location will get updated. Likewise, if someone with an iPhone picks up the wallet and they haven't turn off Find My network, you can still track it. Its the same as Air Tags
While that is typically true, there is speculation about how the wallet actually works with “Find My.” Most people think that it isn’t actually chipped like an AirTag, but that it’s purely a software thing; that’s why the wording on the product page says “last known location if it gets separated from your phone.” The consensus is that there must be something different about the NFC tag in the new wallet that tells your phone to mark the location when the connection to the tag is broken. People aren’t overly happy that this couldn’t be somehow enabled in the old wallets.
 
Just so everyone knows -- UPS has largely removed the option to pick up at a CC in an effort to reduce staffing levels for the customer counter. I believe the only way you can get the option is to call them and request it, it doesnt show up in the app or website. Also, UPS Store and Access Points are not the same thing -- and for me (in metro NY area), all of those options change my delivery date to MONDAY.
Great info. Thank you for sharing that. I will make sure I call UPS on Thursday ;)

Ahh, good point... I guess it would also require a battery if it was able to participate in the "Find My" network the same way Air Tags do.

I actually e-mailed them earlier today. However because it's Sunday, I likely won't get a response till tomorrow. Ever since UPS made changes last year, I've always requested a hold for pick up via this e-mail and never had issues.
