My order still shows Preparing for Shipment. Nothing comes up in UPS when searching my phone number.
Not really worried, I'd just like to see some movement. I'm assuming it'll change at some point tomorrow.
Edit: Nothing comes up for my number because it's not on my order. :/

Mature, doofen ... They're mature phones.
I may or may not know about old phones. I may or may not also have a sickness.

For anyone who doesn't have tracking yet: I noticed that my order number (minus the last two digits) does not bring up my shipment - only the phone number and another random reference number.
I quoted later I made a mistake when I said that and I was getting it confused about the unlocked models I usually purchase...Do some reading first.
Louisville, Kentucky is the UPS World Hub. Almost every single package UPS Ships typically goes through there. Most, but not all
Had I not found this fourm id probably be in a dark corner constantly refreshing my apple account.
Oh wait I still am....
Me too. This makes the waiting easier. Lol
I'm in AZ. My phone is shipping from Rialto. If they send it to Kentucky and then me then they are not the logistics masters they claim to be.
I have stuff from Apple sent from PA and instead of taking a straight shot down to me which would take a day, it goes through Kentucky then to me. PA and WV border each other. Doesn't make sense in mine and your world, but maybe it does in theirs, I dunno
It would take a helluva lot more planes, most of them nowhere close to filled, to cover every route that could be a short hop. Instead, they send it all to Louisville, sort it out, and then send everything back out in plenty of time.
I can't imagine it makes much sense financially (especially on a next-day air shipment) to load it onto a bunch of different planes.
Exactly. For anyone reading -
Then packages are sorted and consolidated with other packages of all kinds going to the same destination service center delivery area, and flown or trucked to that location.
It's efficient and works very well.
I work in the industry and have for a long time. I've considered writing a thread on how logistics work but I doubt anyone would read it.
That white Apple watch box was heavy and it was packed well. Lol
Dude, quit BS'ing us. We all know minions are responsible for everything and the only people that work at UPS are the drivers so the truth doesn't get out. I have proof.

I am only one person but I would love to read it and would be appreciative.
Now that I think about it you're right lol it was heavy.
