Thanks, my case arrives tomorrow - instead of wireless charging I plan to use Fast Charging, already have that stuff on hand.

Yep that is definitely the flight :) I think we should be in good shape as it arrives in KY in about 3 more hours (151 AM EDT). Usually they distribute from Louisville and it's pretty quick from there via UPS.
[doublepost=1509504574][/doublepost]Figure they have at least 200,000 iPhones being transported by each "heavy" 747 - and that Apple runs perhaps 20 to 30 planes a day coming from China for launch.

They also leave room for other cargo and maximize efficiencies and costs that way.

Oh, that’s new to your order? I saw that check-in window since I ordered on Friday. So sadly nothing updated for me... Its still “Order in Progress” for store pickup :(

Yes, today was the first time I saw the check-in window message. I checked again later and that message disappeared only to come back later in the day. Odd behavior for sure.

Same mine had the window when I ordered Friday morning, the same window I picked during the order.

If you've ordered to store and it says the Nov 3rd you can rest easy, there is no way your order will not be there for that day, could you imagine an Apple store opening this Friday with all the campers outside for some dude in a blue shirt to come out and shrug his shoulders being like "They stuck in customs" :D.
I wouldnt be surprised if they're in your chosen store now locked in a cage with a nice sticker with your name on.
 
Hong Kong scan just showed up.

i wonder when it will be marked shipped

Apple usually changes them to Shipped a day or 2 before the delivery date. It should change later today or tomorrow, if the delivery date is Nov. 3rd.

You can find the tracking information on UPS.com, by searching for the reference information. (order number minus last 2 numbers or cell phone - both worked for me...)
 
My order update banner is not showing in the Apple Store app on the discover page anymore. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

I've always wondered what takes Apple so long to post the delivery information. Having been an Apple customer for a long time, I should know the drill by now.

Latest on my personal order, hoping Apple provides shipping update once it ships out of Louisville, KY.

FlightAware tracking information:

SDF LOUISVILLE, KY
took off from Anchorage Intl - ANC
landed at Louisville Intl - SDF
TUESDAY 31-OCT-201716:48 AKDT
(1 hour 18 minutes late)

WEDNESDAY 01-NOV-201701:57 EDT

UPS Departure Scan (we did get a scan before departure):
Anchorage, AK, United States 10/31/2017 4:30 P.M. Departure Scan

This process has totally exposed my OCD :) Perhaps I should become a package detective.

Does The store change from "order processing" to "Shipped to Store" or does it just state that its ready for pick up?

Hey I just found this on the Apple website, figured you might be interested, its the different statuses for Shipping to store:

Order Placed: Your order has been placed.
We’ve received your order and payment information. Though you can’t make changes to your order right now, you’ll be able to when we start preparing your order.

Order In Progress: Your order will be available soon.
We have all the information needed to complete your order. As soon as the item is ready, we’ll send you an update and prepare the shipment. You can still make changes to the order at this point.

Preparing for Shipment We're preparing your item(s) to ship. At this point, your order cannot be changed or canceled.
We'll send a Pickup Notification email to you when your item(s) are ready to pick up at The Apple Store.

Shipping to Store Your order has shipped and its on the way to the Apple Store. We'll send you a Pickup Notification email when it’s ready to be picked up. Please wait for that email before coming in.

Ready for Pickup Your item is ready at the Apple Store. When you come to the store, just remember to bring the card you used for payment, or the order number and a valid photo ID. We'll need them to confirm your pickup.

Pickup Canceled We've canceled your item for pickup at the Apple Store. We initiate a refund immediately after a pickup item is canceled.

Picked Up Your item has been picked up from the Apple Store.

Mine is still at Order in Progress, but it will be in London ready for collection Friday for sure.

You look at ups departure. Then go to the site and find the location and a plane that took off around that time en route to the states.

To be honest, I am not 100% sure, but it would most likely change to "Shipping to Store" and then once it is there, you it will change to Ready for Pickup at whatever time you were given.

Hopefully your pickup time is late, so I can get mine before you... LOL... just kidding, hopefully it is an early time for you. :)
 
Guys, how can I check my UPS delivery plane? I don't have that information on Apple Orders and none of the Flight Tracker times matches.
