You can’t always rely on track by reference number. When I tried searching for my order that way it still couldn’t find anything. But going into the ups app it showed up under my packages.
There are several trailers full of iPhones at Louisville airport. This happens every year. With Louisville being the main UPS hub, its really easy to keep them here them introduce them into the sort operation Thursday night. Almost all Next Day Air items come thru Louisville. If you send something from Houston to Dallas next day air thru UPS, it will fly to Louisville, go thru the 5.1 million square foot building with thousands of belts to the next airplane and be sent out. It is no different for the phones. Stage them so they dont have to charter a plane, then introduce them into sort on Thursday night for final destination. The operation is really neat to watch. About 100 planes in between 11p and 2a, sort operations going on the whole time. Then between 2:30a and 6a, about 110 planes go back out in order to make it to their city for morning sort for delivery. Millions of packages go thru this operation every night.
this thread gets comical by the hour. it’s a good distraction until our phones are delivered in less than 48 hours 🤗
This is what ups told me last year regarding tracking “I've not heard of any issues with the tracking. So far, everything looks fine and it's still in transit. The shipping method used, World Ease, is such that it takes several packages going to the same Destination country are placed on a pallet and moved simultaneously to the Import country. Once reaching this port, the pallet is sorted and sent to the airport nearest to the Destination. It's at this point that the tracking information will be updated and provide you more details. ^AP”
As you can see world ease tracking is not reliable until the pallet is broken down. Which that will not occur until customs. So give it a bit I bet you all will see a bunch of updates tomorrow. People where freaking out this time last year and woke up to their phone in Louisville and a page of tracking.

I’m not into Twitter but I looked for you guys!
So what does it mean when it still says Preparing for Shipping yet date still shows 9/20 delivery?
It means you didn’t read the first page of the thread before asking
Anyone here ordered 11:30am est on September 13th? What's your delivery date
2:55er
hoping my 64gb MGMax gets a smooth ride.
Also have an ATT iPhone coming as well, but that’s coming to Lubbock, Texas via FedEx, and that’s been sitting in Dallas area the last 3 days.
Here at Lubbock, get FedEx planes in everyday, UPS will ride a truck from Dallas.
Will pickup the UPS one at the customer center.
FedEx app. Doesn’t seem to give that kind of option, it’s a very simple app in comparison. :l

Thanks for this. Just not used to it. Every new iPhone I've ordered has had a tracking number.
I have the identical phone specs on order with the same UPS status of in ZZ, 9/16, and 4:21 AM. I’m also in Dallas, like you. Thanks for posting your results from calling UPS. I figured it was something like that, but it’s good to hear it from someone else. Enjoy your phone on Friday!
if it’s shipped it does. Need to track it by reference on UPS. Apple doesn’t marked shipped until soon before delivery day same as previous years.
And we’re back...LIVE from MacRumors!! Good to see you all again. Ok, so who lost it and commented on their Twitter post out of rage and frustration about the update? 😱😬
Meeeee. Terrible timing they should have done this last week or waited until next.
Wow? So you perhaps put your order through 35 seconds before him and are thus entitled to have condemnation that he is bummed about it getting closer to his estimated date. Seems to be a lot of smug people here that make a lot of mean comments to people that have later dates than them. Everyone wants their phones. And most of us all were there trying to place orders at the same time.
they were great sports about it! Those memes were hilarious. This was no time for maintenance! Platform looks great in dark mode too.
Anyone else getting this message when they try to change their delivery to a CC "You can change your delivery after a delivery attempt has been made. Please track again using the InfoNotice number, which can be found above the barcode on the notice you received"?
