If it weren’t for all the good people here. Sharing our experiences and info the pre order and shipping process would be lack luster

 

[DemonBob]

Got my tracking info for my watch. I ordered a SBSS 44 with the malaise loop. Still waiting on tacking of the Xs Max 512.

 

[UserJalen]

Yes I’m even tracking my phone right now from ZhengZhou China to Anchorage Alaska!

You’re tracking the wrong plane. Your phone is still in China. You’ll get another update with an arrival scan in China

For those of you that have UPS My Choice and have requested your phone to be held at UPS CC.... Are you currently seeing a message on your tracking that says “Exception” and “Date Tentative”? If I remember correctly from the last couple of years, you see that message for about 24 hours or so until the request is processed. Anyone seeing the same thing or remember seeing it from previous years? Thanks.

If UPS would update my phone shipping information and Apple would approve the Waze beta that has car play enabled I be set

Sign into your UPS account and under shipment detail for your tracking number there is a reference numbers section which will list some numbers like order number, phone numbers and another number I couldn't figure it out.

How did you figure out your order

Me too in same boat
512 gb att

I was able to see tracking number when I was in UPS My Choice account overview section for this week’s deliveries. It showed up there before I could find in Track by Reference link.

Got my tracking number. However, I don't know if it is for the iPhone XS Max 0.5TB or for the Apple Watch Series 4...

Exactly that’s what will happen. Once it gets to your CC it’ll be approved. Or something like that..

My lable was created. But I’m pretty sure it was for my Apple Watch since it says it’s .60 kgs

I got a departure scan 9-16-18 at 11:57 ZhengZhou China

Same, still nothing for me on UPS. Ordered 64GB XS Max Space Grey ATT

🙁 I ordered the same exact phone on Friday at 1:01am MT and I don’t have tracking yet. Although that adds to my theory that early orders already have phones here in the states.

I ordered in first minute and my phone and watch were in China today. Phone is hopefully approaching Alaska now....

 

[AZhappyjack]

So I did some research, apparently when you can't have your package held at a CC is because the shipper has placed a restriction on your package, in this case Apple. Why would Apple put a restriction on my package whyyyyyyyy 😡😡😡

That absolutely was not the case for at least the past 2 years... because I had my phone held at the UPS hub and picked it up both years...

You can figure it out by the weight. Find someone who has tracking and only for the phone, and compare weight. Do same for Watch.’Easy

 

[gabo864]

My watch also has my phone number as a reference. Phone is 0.5kg; watch is 0.6kg. That should tell you.

The one I found is 0.7 so most likely my Apple Watch

Likely the watch it should have a list of reference number see if it matches your orde number

I’m aware. But you’ll get a arrival scan somewhere else in China likely today or tomorrow. I posted this some pages ago. This is my tracking from last years iPhone X.

Thank you, that’s the flight I’ve been tracking

Sometimes it’s just a departure scan from the warehouse to the airport.

 

[UserJalen]

It’s hilarious that people aren’t reading post before posting. UPS will be the ones with the iPhones. Please please look st my above reply with a screenshot from last year, showing the two departures scans.. Also the planes leave from HKG

It's worth remembering that past performance is not indicative of future performance. That may be what happened last year, but isn't necessarily what will happen today.

I was wondering if we would see this pic again. The best part is that a truck ride from Zheng Zhou to Shanghai is roughly the same amount of time as a plane ride to Anchorage. Let's watch and see where they end up! My money is on Shanghai.

What are you on about? I’ll leave you to track a plane in which your phone isn’t on good luck mate.

Yeah apple never denied me from picking up at a Customer Center
