I have now. Says the same as all the previous variations on the order number and phone number. The weirdest thing!

edit: saying that Details Not Yet Available

better get going if it's gonna make it on Friday :😁:
Hmm interesting. I do have a method to pull the full tracking if it is showing up in the reference search. Happy to do that for you if you PM the same info you are using to pull reference # tracking. :D
 
I just jumped on here and I'm not sure if this has already been discussed, but how do you get the full tracking number on UPS after entering a phone number under reference number. It shows me all Xs and the last four of the tracking number, but that's it. I'm assuming it will update as soon as it clears customs, but I remember previously I somehow got the FULL tracking number ahead of time.
 
i am sorry if this has been brought to the thread, but I have ordered an iPhone and the delivery date is Friday the 24th, and on Apples order page it says preparing to ship. Is this normal?
Yep, totally normal. You should see "Shipped" tomorrow.

All the previous posts, we have had the tracking number since Sun., Mon. It sits in China for a while before moving. Your shipment is mostly like moving, if not already in USA right now.

I can help with that! Just PM me the same info you are using to show the reference tracking page and I will pull the full tracking number out for you :D
 
My wife's still says "preparing to ship" on Apple's site and is not showing up on UPS My Choice. I've entered order # and phone number of arriving phone, but no record of anything according to UPS.

I've been through this process for many years now, and know Apple's info won't say shipped until Thursday evening/Friday morning, and yet the phone will arrive with all the others.

This is the first time that UPS hasn't had a peep to share about the shipping, so I don't even see "order processed: Ready for UPS" like in previous years. Very weird.

There are still a few hours for them to get it to Louisville tomorrow to make it to our home by Friday, curious how this is all going to work out.
As long you are promised iPhone launch date you will get your iPhone. 100% Expecting to see you in KY tomorrow.

We all still say PTS and will until tomorrow. Send a note to @ATX_wapiti who has the secret to finding the tracking number for you
 
Love the Sequoia! I bought this Dark Cherry last Fri. (looked great in some photos) - but exchanged it the next day. Way too purple for me. Many will love it, it's just not for me.

*Apple did not have these cases on display, so I had no idea what this really looked like.

That color ( purple?) is not my cuppa tea. 🤣 May I ask what attracted you to it ?
 
So is my UPS page just lying to me? It says Departed ZhengZhou, CN at 9/22/2021 11:30 am. Arrived in Anchorage at 9/21/2021 11:10 PM, and left Anchorage at 9/22/2021 12:12 am. So, its been on a flight from Anchorage for 18 hours now.
The aircraft has landed , but the container still inside the aircraft waitting to be move out , or maybe on the delay of scanning .
 
Ah, I see your point. I should have said, "Only then will I be able to fully relax with fitful tossing and turning until dawn."
The confusing part for me was at the beginning:

"I'll only rest my eyes until a departure scan from ANC "lands" upon my screen. Only then will I relax with fitful tossing and turning until dawn."

I thought you meant to say something like, "I won't rest my eyes until a departure scan..."

You and @TheYayAreaLiving are superheroes, the way you're updating here and keeping people in touch with the logistics of their various shipments and devices. Hang in there as we enter the home stretch!

That’s what it’s doing for me also.
 
I’m in the same boat. But I had an issue with the Apple Card and the iUP and originally a date of late October but was bumped to launch day the other day. I’m wondering if they have a bunch of phones for people in my situation that weren’t assigned to us from china but will be tomorrow when the regular tracking emails get sent out. Hopefully that’ll be nice and early to wake up to.

It would also be nice for those of us who could not get in (even with 3 devices and refreshing of apple store app/login) for 5 minutes and the one minute re-entering of card info that i had put in preapproval had to be done as always and my date slipped in that minute from 9/24 to 10/6-10/11 to get some of extra phones if they ever do this. Probably logistical wise not likely, I am in touch with an executive person who called me after I wrote Tim Cook about my issues as a long term IUP customer. She has tried to help but getting order sooner is not likely fo me. Usually by now even when in a later frame than opening day my phones end up slipping to sooner date but not currently. I think demand exceeded apples first production runs.
