I can finally see labels created for both of my phones. Neither has shipped and one label looks complete while the other offers limited info. At least one of my phones is sitting in Shenzhen China.

Does UPS show 9/21 for both?

I was bored so I made a Siri Shortcut that posts to the UPS tracking API and reads out loud the current status (i.e. departure scan, etc) and the city (i.e. ZhengZhou) 😀 You can sign up for an API key here: https://www.ups.com/upsdeveloperkit

Added it into my morning routine shortcut lol

That's actually pretty neat 😱 😎

Shortcuts seems like a great feature. Can't wait for people to start posting creative shortcuts such as this.

Yes. UPS Shows 9/21 delivered very for both. I was mostly curious because I didn’t notice anyone else’s phones at the same location.

 

[blhoward2]

What are we using for references? Phone number like years past? I have a few devices coming the same day...

Shenzhen seems to be mainly the XS while ZZ is mainly the XS Max

Phone or order number minus last 2 numbers

 

[ohernan]

Mine is apparently in Shanghai? But it left from Suzhou? Anyone seeing similar?

Yes. It should leave for Shanghai to Anchorage.

The name is CGO not ZZ dammit. You are hurting my frequent flyer sensibilities.

Thanks for the info. All previous years I ordered from Verizon. So this is my first year tracking. And I must say it’s quite fun

CGO is the airport code we are putting ZZ for the city

this is awesome! Can you share this?!(without your api in it, of course - I will get my own key!)
Shortcuts is seriously so legit. I can't believe Apple didn't talk about it more!

 

[JFK1979]

I think we determined only UPS flights are carrying the phones

I couldnt find a single ups plane departing from cgo maybe im holding it wrong

 

[Lyons00]

I haven’t heard much about the phones in South Korea. Anybody have any updates on those?
Thanks

The ones from like 8 hours ago have landed in AK if your referring to those

 

[TheColtr]

Did you get an Import Scan in AK?

Here you go: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/e8e057b99a6e46899190ce1ecf826420

You'll see inside of the Get Contents of URL action > Advanced > Request Body, you'll need to go into Security and fill in the Username Token dictionary with your UPS username and pass. Then inside the UPSServiceAccessToken is where the API key goes. I just have placeholders in those fields, so you just have to change them to your info. Then you can change the output text as well. There's things like times and dates in the API response but I'm not sure how to format them properly so that Siri doesn't read out a weird number string (i.e. "054600" should be turned into 5:46am)

Don't they do Import Scan at Kentucky? Unless some shipments are getting off at Anchorage then those might.

 

[TheColtr]

Not an import scan, but an arrival scan.

I'm pretty sure its Kentucky as well someone was saying at point of entry but don't think that was correct I've always seen Kentucky

The 8:10 arrival in SK, is already in AK? Thanks

 

[iApplereviews]

Not an import scan, but an arrival scan.

Import as in customs not Arrival

I don’t think we determined that...most people are under the impression that Kalitta 859 has some headed for ANC right now.

Ya the post above was an 8:10 and is already departed AK

Hopefully no one has found anything other than UPS flights so far though

You are my hero! Got it set up, and it works! Matches up to my departure scan too!
Now to look deeper into the API docs and see if there is a way to get it to spit out the times too! 😀
