I'm returning my unfortunately faulty MBP to Apple, I already printed the Apple-provided shipping label and shipped it back. I unfortunately did not make a note of the tracking number since I thought I could look it up online.

Well it turns out that whenever you go to view the shipping label on the Apple online store ("Print Return Label" button), it generates a new label with a new tracking number. (I've now created like 10 labels...) This is a bazaar behavior I wasn't expecting.

Is there anyway to see a complete list of the tracking numbers Apple has generated for an order?
 
Solved. For anyone who has this issue in the future, it turns out you can go to FedEx and track by reference number. Use your RMA number for the order and it will show all tracking numbers that have been created for it.
 
Just had the same experience and generated a bunch of UPS tracking numbers before I figured out what was going on. Thanks for the tip about tracking by reference number.

You are a gem! This saved my butt!
