its impossible to change the address now that the label has been generated. Apple has made it to where you cant ship to an alternate address other that will call pickup or another ups access point

Thats what I figured, if I were to do Will Call am I allowed to choose what HUB I want to pick it up at? and if so, how do i go about doing so?
 
On FlightAware I noticed Atlas Air #8528 (the flight from Zhengzhou to Anchorage) is also scheduled to go from Anchorage to Louisville.

Anyone think it's likely the phones stay on one flight? Or do you think they switched planes at Anchorage?

yes that happens a lot. One crew to anchorage another to louisville same plane. On 9to5mac a pilot snapped a pic of 195K iphones on a plane he was flying from china and described this exact situation

did you look at flightaware website? one of the guys from there made a tracking site and posted here

it will choose the one closest to your delivery address. Sign up for ups my choice and select hold for will call. Then ur all set
 
Tracking by reference finally worked. Left Anchorage at 6:15pm. Anyone else on that flight?

Actually, left at 6:15pm on the 16th, so two days ago. Weird.

My order is still showing: Preparing for Shipment Delivers: 9/19 by Standard Shipping

I was however able to find my tracking number via UPS and it says: Order Processed: Ready for UPS. Does anybody know if it is still possible for me to change the address which it is delivered to and pick it up at the HUB. The thing is my phone was originally supposed to be shipped to Irvine, CA but now I find myself in Los Angeles, so was trying to see how to go about being able to pick it up in Los Angeles on Friday.

you can still try.

supposedly only apple can update the shipping address. once you make the request. they will update it once the phone gets to the UPS hub (before delivery). UPS will check for any address change before sending out for delivery.

call apple ASAP.
 
Mine still says Preparing for shipment with a delivery of 9/19. I tried looking up my phone number as a reference number on the ups website but nothing came up. But there again I live in Canada so I don't know if it's arriving via ups for us Canucks
 
Wooooo

Tracking number from UPS! My little buddy is up in Louisville!

The worst part is I got the email it would arrive "tomorrow" at like 12:03. This will be the longest tomorrow ever.

My UPS just switched from 2 business days to 1 business day to delivery. Sitting in Rialto which means they may not put it on the plane until tomorrow night to get to Oregon. Bummer, I was hoping to get at least a little tracking in:D

I can't wait to hear about the first person who has a phone move out of Rialto, because once one moves they all can't be far behind at this point.
 
Ah man. Still nothing for me. Apple status is the same with Preparing for shipping with a 9/19 delivery date. But the UPS site doesn't show anything when I throw in my phone number. Doesn't look like it's registered with UPS.

It's already Thursday afternoon here, with less than a day till the 19th. The wait is almost unbearable! :eek:

phone number won't work. use your order number and take off the last 2 digits.

Has been for me since the iPhone 4 so hoping it still is as my UPS man is awesome.

Hi Canadians,

My apple account still shows preparing for shipment. I found my serial number showing on "My support profile", while I have not received the invoice from Apple nor could I track by my phone number or order number minus the last two digits.

Piece of good news-I called Apple customer service this afternoon, and they guaranteed that the phone should be delivered on Friday. They claimed that we would see a change into "shipped" by tomorrow evening. I hope it is true.


Any one from Canada has a status changed into "shipped" or could track on either UPS or Fedex?

No no change for me but you can check out the Canada thread and see if anyone else has had a change (don't think they've had). Needs to be more of us over there ;P https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1773803/

Don't worry, we here in Canada are not getting to see much progress either. I can only see that a package is in the UPS system when I enter my reference info. Nothing else at all. Of course Apple still shows preparing for shipment.

On the bright side, my card was charged and they sent me an invoice already. One other Canadian member called Apple and was told that we won't be getting any further shipping details until as late as Thursday evening. So, we can just sit back and enjoy the American action here. :D:D
