I’m part of the 4:50 batch… both my phones are still in ZZ! Not sure if this is related to UPS CC pickup hold request I submitted (via email). Last year, I had similar tracking issues until Thursday when the phones were stateside (and I had called UPS to hold for pickup at UPS CC). Any others w. similar issues tracking?

We are all stuck in China 04:50 crew and 06:50 crew. Hopefully it’s not a delayed scan.
 
I don't understand. I got charged the full amount days ago by Apple. BofA even sent me a receipt two days ago with the amount for the iPhone. There was no pending or such.
So when a cc processes payment, charges you as you say, the initial charge is ‘pending’ even if it doesn’t say so - but it’s pending until Apple actually receives the money from the cc - it’s called settlement on Apple’s end and it takes 2-3 days sometimes. In cases where something hasn’t shipped - the initial charge is to ensure that there is a valid payment and that stays pending. If it doesn’t ship, it could ‘fall off’ until it ships - when the company has a right to collect the funds.

Yeah I think I'm aware of that bit thanks. But generally nothing falls off when you have been charged. The email I received from BofA dated 9/17/21 contains a charge for the iPhone. Bank account reflects same status. Perhaps it's because debit card was used.
