Yep.

Logged into My Choice, copied and pasted the order number W######### etc, with the last two number deleted and got nothing.
It doesn’t work for me to enter anything but the order # without last 2 digits - no zip code or address or phone. Perhaps you already did that but if not worth a try.
 
This was my first time doing a preorder and I’m a bit confused. I thought the phone would be shipped to my Apple Store for pickup but emails say the phone is shipping to my house Which is a problem. Is there a way to get it sent to the store? It hasn’t shipped yet.
Oops sounds link you missed a gate. You needed to select Store Pickup and time. There are two purchase choices: Delivery or In Store Pickup (ISPU) it looks like you ordered for home delivery.

So long as your item is not in Preparing to Ship or Shipped status, you may be able to cancel an item or the entire order online. To cancel an order or item, visit online Order Status (opens in new window). On the Your Orders page, find the item you want to cancel and select Cancel items.

Changing your order to an ISPU is very unlikely but you could always call Apple. If you need assistance with viewing or editing your order, please contact an Apple Store Customer Service on 800-040-1966.

ETA: add phone number

Ordered at 8:30am EST yesterday, current status is “preparing to ship” and tracking is already showing up in UPS My Choice (purely based on destination address).👏🏼

Ordered a few minutes into the opening of preorders but decided to do in store pickup since they had a launch day morning slot available. Would have preferred delivery but I'm not sure I'll be home in afternoon when UPS/Fedex usually delivers.

Still no tracking using the reference number and the order number.

Either no label has been printed, or I’m doing it wrong.
Don't stress or obsess - plenty of time to make shipments thru Thursday.

Many pallets have to get loaded on many different UPS flights.

Last time I pre-ordered, it was Tuesday when I got a tracking number.

This year is super fast so relax...

You have to be on the UPS website to use track by reference number. If you are on My Choice, it just pops in if you have your name and address set up correctly.

Currently nothing showing up when tracking by reference or my choice for my X:02 order. For some reason my choice seems to never work on things shipped from Apple, but works with everything else. Definitely not too worried though, I always seem to ship with the later groups

But be advised... canceling and re-ordering will move you to the back of the line for the phone of your choosing. You WILL lose your place in line if you cancel and re-order.
 
Let me know :)
so just holding the case.... yes.... a finger seems to hit where the camera button is... but i read the other reply before seeing your post and it appears it may not be an issue because of having to click it!

depending on how i held it.... any of the three fingers could be hitting/resting on it!

The ISPU used to be a full-on party. I remember camping out in the mall waiting for the store to open... Apple employees would be out in the mall passing out snacks, water, etc... everyone just hanging out and making new friends, sharing the excitement...Samsung even poked fun at the event because they could not match the excitement about their new phone launch. Then Angela Ahrends came along and ruined it for everyone...

Now, most people pre-order and sit home by themselves waiting for "brown" to show up.
That’s been me the last 5-6 years. And now I go ISPU for some reason lol

I opted for ISPU this year, but that hasn’t stopped me from opening the Apple Store app every five minutes to see if there are any updates.

I chose the 9:15 am pick-up slot at my local Apple Store. UPS usually doesn’t delivery until my area until after 4 pm or 5 pm.
