Somehow this morning, I managed to find my configuration available for store pickup on launch day. Yesterday was a mess with the T-Mobile system and the same configuration was not available for store pick up. Might be worth checking phone with delayed delivery in case a spot opened up!
 
I GOT A TRACKING NUMBER!!!

256 GB SG 14 Pro Max…postal service shipment by 9/23. I SWEAR when I preordered this morning it said delivery 9/16.

Hoping this doesn’t end up being the case as I sat and refreshed the Apple Store app for 5 minutes after preorder opened before it would let me in and order. Confirmation email at xx:07 AM.

The delay getting to the store happens every year (presumably because I’m on the east coast?) but this is the first time the delay caused a no-launch-day delivery date. I’m guessing the chip shortages are playing a hand.
Just got a UPS notification that my 256 GB SB 14 Pro Max will deliver on 9/16 with an origin scan in China this morning.

The Apple Store app still says delivering by postal service on 9/23 but I’m hoping it’ll update to match what UPS is showing soon.
 
Phone number or order number you can use either. It should show up. If it’s not showing up. It’s ok, it just hasn’t been assigned
Nothing with mine so far, I forget do you leave W in front of order number or not? Phone number without the 1 in front I assume. I am finding if I put more than a day between the sending day and “arrival day” I get error on the arrival date not being there of something. Nothing in UPS ap so likely not scanned yet am guessing this weekend at some point will be interesting to see the spread of scans and flights

UPDSATE: Just after I wrote this (of course) my scan showed up in my UPS app as others are now starting to note. The movement is starting time to celebrate and have fun LOL.

Why is it saying the Postal Service?

I thought Apple use only UPS for their deliveries in a Pre-Order Day...

I checked mine this morning and it’s changed to processing. It’s gonna be a long week of waiting 😂. I am taking a half day from work Friday to pick my phone at 1:45pm EST. Hoping the line in store won’t be a mess like it was for the 11 pro max in 2019.
I thought I’m the only one who put so much effort and is willing to spend a leave credit for the release. Glad to know I’m not alone. 😁
 
Dang! This is a wild story. Hopefully, it all works out for you. The struggle was extra real for you. Sheeeesh! I got goose bumps reading your story.

Oh that’s great news. So it was a glitch after all.
 
Having technical difficulties with the ups app. I can log into my choice on safari but when I try to log into the ups app it asks to verify email. I verify the link in the email and it just brings me back to safari

Good morning! It's a Saturday morning, 06:08 AM in Las Vegas. It's around 75 degrees outside.

I'm all caught up with this thread. I'm happy to see some of you LUCKY ONES got the tracking numbers already. Thank you for reporting. The great news is it is coming from UPS as expected. Lots of you seeing an "Origin Scan" which is great news. Expect your package to move long through trucks shortly before it gets to Shanghai, China. As far as for myself goes, I don't see any tracking numbers assigned yet. Hopefully, it gets generated today. I expect everyone to have their tracking numbers by later today. I hope everything is going to have a wonderful day and weekend. Let's get it!!!

Going to post this one-of-a-kind picture below. A charging bull, Did you know a charging bull represents courage and can-do-spirits. It symbolizes prosperity. The charging bull is known as the power of the American people.
