If I get bored, I'll go back a few years because at one point, one of our threadmates posted a photo of the inside of his cargo plane laden with phones. It was an impressive sight, and might give someone who hasn't seen it an idea of just how many phones are on a plane in a visual sense.
I found the pictures you’re talking about.

The last picture is a picture of a FedEx sorting facility the night before the 5S release.

How did you find it on UPS? Or did TMO send you the info?
Congrats! First one! Haha how did you find it? Just via ups my choice?

Yupp, through UPS My Choice. Once you have your address and name connected, any package that is coming your way will automatically show up on your account (from the very beginning stage, i.e. even just a label created). You can also have multiple addresses connected so it allows you to see any packages labeled with your name coming to any address you want.

Looks like everything is starting to move. If anyone is like me and has a shipping date of 21-24 September and receive a shipping label on mychoice, let us know.
Ugh, mine is 9/20 and nothing yet.

My tracking number just showed up in My UPS Choice, and I originally had a date of 21-24.

Awesome, did you chose the free 2 day air?

Speck and Otterbox have really good clear cases! Kate Spade has some as well. They’re not entirely clear but they have cute designs. Case-Mate is another good one :)

You know, I've always looked at designer cases but I never remember seeing any from Kate Spade! I will definitely check those out, thank you so much!

ive trusted Spigen to my cases when I haven’t bought apples for years now. They look awesome and work well.

the Spigen one is in my Amazon cart!! Glad to hear this actually !

As for my pre-order, this is my first pre-order through T-Mobile so I'm still a noob about the process (ish). I pre-ordered at 7:50AM EST etc (midnight green, 258gb 11 pro) but havent been charged and UPS is drier than the Sahara :sad:. I'm an anxious person so of course I feel like maybe I put in some info wrong or something LOL. I just need to CHILL. I do wish we could use the reference number trick to find our phones (like when you pre-order with Apple!)

I just ordered via T-Mobile on Facebook messenger, and got my order in around 1:36pm est on 9/13/19. We never even discussed shipping, except for the fact that the shipping date had been pushed back to the 21st-24th.

Ha, I feel the exact same way!! I ordered at 4:58pst and worried that I maybe entered my CC wrong; called TMO and they confirmed it’s correct; nothing yet on mine.

I'm only nervous because recently I upgraded my younger sibling's phone and when I put my info through the app, I noticed my Address suddenly was missing my APT number and my Billing address just mirrored my APT-less address as well ! Thankfully I'm a UPS MC member and solved the delivery issue though.

I would assume they would not let the order go through if payment info was incorrect?

I did chat to a T-Force member and they told me "I can see on my end your order is marked as 'ready'!"
Not sure if "ready" means the same thing as "processing" to them, the lady did not clarify lol.

Have the order status changed from "Preorder", to anything else on t-mobiles app/site? Asking the ones that have received shipping information from UPS choice.
