I could be wrong but I don’t think you need MyChoice premium to see stuff being delivered to you. Or at least I haven’t been paying for any membership. I just made a UPS account and added my home address (a while back) and it seemed to be good enough to get notified about deliveries.

I think several years ago you needed a membership, I remember in one of these threads from a while back a code was passed around, but I think that stuff is part of the free tier now?
 
I have tried that, but doesn’t give me the full tracking number.

“Upcoming Changes: Limiting display of reference number tracking details for improved security.

UPS is changing how the reference number tracking results are displayed to provide additional protection:

Tracking details will be mostly masked with only basic reference number tracking details available.

Senders that have saved the shipment's account number as a payment method in their profile, or in their company profile, will see the full tracking details.”
Yeah, they started that last year. So frustrating!

That’s correct. It did started last year. It’s annoying and frustrating. Apple was probably like people can wait till Friday. They don’t need to see anything the day before.

I also think Apple has done it because they have more control over UPS in America. But not international. Thus, they can tell UPS what to do in America easily.
 
Ugh… So I pre-ordered 6 after the pre-orders started and EST delivery is the 24th but I still can’t see full tracking info, using reference I can see something is on its way but can’t see much and my choice is showing my phone number as tracking info and details not yet available. Hoping to see an update soon. Any ideas to speed up my chances of getting more tracking info?

A lot of people are reporting the same issues. @aesc80 I’m hoping once scanning kicks on you guys are able to see your tracking info.
 
Hey all....

As a reminder ensure you got a new T-Mobile sim card that was after obtained after September 2020 to get access to the full 5G

My phone showed up in FedEx!

I know I ordered through Verizon this year but this thread is just way to fun not to participate.

Plus my phone is already in the states!

Good luck getting from FedEx on time or even after a week! FedEx has had monstrous delivery issues over pandemic time
 
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.

I have those same numbers in mine, except the phone number is mine. I'm guessing its some sort of internal UPS reference system to track the pallets, etc.
 
So I got a UPS tracking number, yay. But I just got an email from Apple saying last chance to pre-order my phone or the pre-approval will expire.

Odd.....

Are you using UPS my choice? For some reason I can’t see my package there but a phone number shows as a tracking number it’s no further info. But tracking by reference clearly shows a package is on its way but not much info and can only see last 4 digits of tracking number.

Or — just use the eSIM.
