Check on UPS.com with the tracking number to see if it has a reference number listed somewhere. Failing that, you can try the tracking number on a site like packagemapping.com to try and get the reference. If you can, you should be able to match it up with an order number.

I ordered via Apple at 3:30am (When I finally got the iPad Apple Store app to work.) Apple still says: Preparing for Shipment.
I ordered two iPhone 6 64GBs Space Grey with a delivery date for 19/9, along with two leather cases.
One of the cases was shipped yesterday as the rest of the order went into preparing for shipment. I go in to check the order's status today only to find the rest of the order reverted back to processing. It didn't change any of the expected delivery dates, but I found this to be odd.
Anyone else had something similar happen with them?

Thanks!
If you change your delivery at UPS to in-store pickup, at what time may you pick it up on the 19th?
Ordered on Apple App on my iPad about 3:25am EST on the 12th.
Preparing for Shipment Yesterday.
Checked Apple Support Page, and it is showing there with SN.
UPS check using phnoe number as reference showed it as well:

This is a iP6 64GB Space Gray model... I imagine ti will be crossing the Pacific here very soon!
I can only imagine this is the iPhone, cannot think of anything else I have ordered right now that will come out of China!

Anyone in Canada have theirs shipped from Apple?
I ordered 12:40 on 9/12, card fully charged the next day, been in "Prepared for Shipping" since Saturday but no changes and can't find anything by reference numbers with UPS & FedEx like our American friends seem to be able to.

not me!
ordered 2 iphones, 1 iphone 6 and 1 iphone plus both pickup on friday around 2:30 AM PST and it's still in "processing items"
from what i've been reading, the status updates are different for store pickup then shipping, so I think the pickup updates will change very close to the release date
I've been constantly refreshing since friday and no changes yet
Lol yeah I know what you mean ! I was so hyped when my **** changed from processing to "preparing the shipment" !
But yeah I hope that the in store pickup is different . They probably already have the iPhones in store and they will show up I would say on Wednesday. **** we might not see anything til it's ready to pick up .. But we'll get it aha I promise you !
There is a lot of person having this problem which I'm not but everyone who is having this problem I have see is calling apple . If I was you id do the same thing man
How to track with your order number or phone number.
.
Apologies if somebody has already posted this, but I didn't look through all 1000+ posts.
I was able to UPS "Track by Reference". Either use your phone number (in US, area code and number, with no dashes like 2223334444) or your Apple order number WITHOUT the last two numbers (W123456799 - use W1234567, but not 99). Once you get the tracking page, there is a link with your 1Z tracking number. If you click that link, the resulting page can be bookmarked. This worked for me just a few minutes ago, but as always, your mileage may vary.
ZhengZhou time is UTC+8, which is 15 hours ahead of Pacific time, and 12 hours ahead of Eastern time.

I found this on the UPS website:
"UPS will deliver your package to the UPS Customer Center you choose and then call the recipient when the package is ready. Packages are usually available by 8:30 a.m. on the scheduled day of delivery."
So, theoretically, this could be one of the earliest ways to get your iPhone...
I have in store pick up, still processing, I did get a pending charge on my CC yesterday afternoon.
I honestly think the only reason we're seeing this is because we're not getting a specific device like those who shipped to home or business. Once at the Apple Store, they'll reserve the exact model we ordered, but there's no specific device being shipped that we would track. Does that make sense?
Also in Canada (Ottawa) and same situation as you - updated on Saturday and nothing since. I'm really hoping that it comes by Friday, but haven't had that experience here in Ottawa with the 4s or 5s deliveries (usually arrived on Monday).
For those interested in changing to pick up at will call..
Last year when I did this (and a few other people) it caused a few phones to get delayed by a day. They ended up not making the plane out of louisville until the next day.
I'm debating calling/changing to will call anyway, but just figured it might be a good idea for some of you to know that can happen..

Yes , they send out the exact number of pre orders to each store . But I am pretty sure they will already we wrapped up and have our names on them and all of our info . So idk .
