Not only that once you create the my choice account it will not let you manage any packages until you verify their address. So unless you go to their house everyday and wait for the letter from UPS and steal their mail. Good luck...

Doesn’t make sense if your order still was showing processing it wasn’t canceled. If it was canceled it would have said so. Your confirmation for the payment probably just hadn’t gone through yet.

Oh ya forgot about that too they mail you a confirmation you need to enter before you get full access.
I had this happen to me when I got the X. I was with T-mobile but then switched to Verizon. I had to pick it up at Apple store and they had the T-mobile phone for me. When I explained the situation had to go to another store to get the Verizon phone since they didnt have it. So just tell them if they give you the wrong phone.
Tomorrow evening US time.

Right, and I mean, if you steal a package it's a felony, so...
Mine is the same.
My guess is that for those of us who chose in store pickup, Apple is basically checking the allotment of phones heading to that particular store and just reserving one of them for us. So we might not see an individual shipping notification and tracking number. We might not get a charge on our card yet because don't they charge you once you actually pick it up in store? If you don't show up, your reserved phone will just get repurposed for the walk ins.
Does anyone remember, in previous years, being able to use the order number from Apple on UPS' website to track? For some reason last year I couldn't pull the Watch or Phone up using my phone number. It was some variation of the order number. Like minus the last two numbers.
The Shipping labels should begin to be created last tomorrow afternoon or early evening (Sunday) as it will be Monday in China and shipments will need to begin moving east for US deliveries on Friday.

I'm fairly certain you do not see those things.
I did pick up in store last year, but I can't recall. I don't think you get a tracking number at all.
Oh are they doing snail mail verification? If so, that's much better. I don't remember having to do a verification when I added addresses to my account.
Yes if you can't do a search by Reference Number based on the 10 digit phone number, you can use the "W" order number from Apple. You are correct just drop the last 2 digits from the full Apple order number to use in the search.
Dave
Yes you can order number minus the last 2. But since it’s missing 2 numbers it can be for multiple orders so it doesn’t always find yours.

There’s other ways i think. You may be able to use a CC and billing address as well I don’t remember how I did it.
[doublepost=1568481973][/doublepost]So just a tip if your order number and getting someone else’s order try entering your zip code as well and that should narrow it down.
Ok thank you. I will do that. Sorry, idk how to only quote your response to me
My delivery date fall on 20th September. But order is still processing. I didn't get any further emails.Should I need to contact Apple or need to wait ?
That's what I figure. Sometimes carrier scanning falls way behind actual progress, and since it's being shipped to a store for pickup, if my phone gets delayed I'm likely to have a lot of company, for whatever that's worth.
ETA: since it's being shipped to the store, I probably won't see anything until it's ready - I have no anxieties about on-time delivery to the store.

Apple will update your status usually the night before pick up saying ready for pick up, they do not give tracking or shipped info for in store pick up
I did confuse the two. I didn't know you couldn't trade in when applying for iUP. So then I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention when I selected the payment option.
Let me also reiterate that I had NOT contacted Apple until this call, so whoever closed my order did so on his own, my rep had to get authorization from his supervisor to “Re-Open” my order and ensure I still had the same ship date of 9/20, I’m thinking this was a serious Apple error based on the hoops my rep jumped through to fix my order.
I did the IUP for the first time, ordered yesterday at 8:01 AM EDT got the Apple email like 15 min after and then loan approved email from Citizens about 5-6 hrs later.
I paid using my Apple Card number (not Apple Pay since I couldn't see the option) but I haven't been charged yet, my order status is below, anyone on the same boat?

Seconding this. You should ask if you can cancel the order and rebuy it on the spot via the IUP.
Mine is similar to this. no worries. Apple doesn't charge you this early. I think it doesn't go through until pickup.
