right...FUD is real! We veterans have ridden this rollercoaster!

Oh yeah, there's definitely been some fun adventures over the years, especially when there's delays and folks move shipping groups. ha! 7 Plus Jet Black...

These threads are fun, and it's good to keep the conversation light but also....in perspective. This year is very anticlimactic overall :)
 
Let’s be honest. If they can’t see any tracking reference on UPS for tomorrow, sadly they won’t receive it on Friday. It’s sad, but please don’t play with their emotions.
Most of the time but not always. Sometimes the scans are late showing up. The phones are here but the scans don’t populate until after the fact.
Still in Chino.

I just looked at some of the iPhone 13 pro max "reviews" on YouTube. I guess none of the reviewers ever heard of the saying " variety is the spice of life", since all of them including their pet dogs were supplied / ordered Sierra Blue ones. Muppets. 😂
@LFC2020 feeling generous
Plane buddies! Leave an window seat for me, please!
I’m on UPS 99A also, and I too prefer the window of possible. Happy to be traveling with you all!
 
Forever stuck at preparing to ship.

Is your phone in the country yet, through customs? I think you can't set that until it is.
I was so excited to see it had shipped that I didn’t check. It’s still in Korea🙃. Will check again once it gets through customs, thanks for the help.
 
How are you all tracking it? where do I find the tracking number?
All the information is in the first post by @TheYayAreaLiving. Apple will only send us the tracking number once our iPhones arrive in Louisville, KY. If you want to track your iPhone's travels from Asia to the US, you can easily by tracking by reference number (phone number or order number) via UPS's website or through the Village Drapes website. If you have signed up for MyChoice (free membership), your package will eventually show up on the dashboard. If you're getting your iPhone delivered to work or anywhere that isn't your home address, it'll be a little trickier to track as UPS is no longer displaying the full tracking number for security reasons.


If you're tracking by reference number (Apple order number), just drop the last digit. That's what worked for me.

My mini says Express Delivery, the phone says Standard Delivery. I assumed the mini was sitting in the US somewhere already as none of my tracking apps have any sign of it unlike the phone which is in my UPS app. It would be nice if FedEx delivered the mini because they deliver here during the day, I already know the phone will arrive at night and I won’t bother with it until the iPad is all set up anyway.
Anything Apple other than the iPhone, for me at least, is always delivered by FedEx. Hopefully that will continue as I have too many issues with UPS. If the mini is being delivered by UPS, I'll keep my fingers crossed that it is actually delivered on time.
 
I called my UPS CC directly this morning, and they successfully submitted my hold for pickup on Friday! Woot!

I used the email link from this thread, and it took a day to hear back but they confirmed I am good to go for CC pickup Friday - though as of yet I haven't seen a change in the tracking but we'll see if it catches up as things move.
