One thing that I find interesting is that my phone is shipping from Pennsylvania while my watch and AirPods are shipping from Kentucky. All 3 originally said Indiana.

i'm thinking that indiana address is a regional warehouse for returns. i think the return address you get is connected to your mailing address - i've got an apple watch and an iphone both with a return address of rialto, but the watch is shipping from Kentucky and the iPhone is shipping from Ontario, CA. normally i see Elk Grove as a return address, which is in northern CA somewhere.
 
I may not be able to track my phones from China, but there’s no reason why I can’t track them from Ontario to Denver. There’s a UPS flight that leaves Ontario airport at 1 PM Pacific daylight time and arrives in Denver at 3:57 Mountain daylight time. It’s possible some phones may be on that flight. If not, the next flight to Denver from Ontario is early tomorrow morning. If a phone does depart Ontario on the 1 PM flight, tracking information should be updated for the departure.
 
Ugh! Ordered Deep Blue 512 Pro Max within 4 mins. I was part of the 9/25 glitch. It adjusted back to 9/19. This morning changed back to processing and then preparing to ship with a new delivery date of 9/22. 😭
Hang in there! It may still get to you on launch day! Ive seen it happen before.

My status just updated to preparing to ship, and so far the 19th is still holding… cancel button is gone
 
Ok my phone has for the second time moved from processing to PTS. My delivery is still 9/19 - fingers crossed I will get a tracking number soon. Nothing in MyChoice yet. (17 PM Silver 512 GB via Richmond,VA)

Interesting logistics this year. I’m in Utah and mine is coming from Lathrop CA, but a buddy of mine is a few miles away and his is in Ontario CA. Did you order direct from Apple?

I’m guessing mine will be on one of these 2 flights. I’m in St. Augustine, FL, so all major shipping usually comes through Jacksonville.

I have UPS My Choice, not the paid version but free version. I have a cheap blanket from Amazon coming today and I can see the map of where UPS driver is on UPS app. So as long as you have the free version of My Choice, I’d think you should be able to see when your UPS driver is in your area tomorrow. Not sure how to post a screenshot on here to prove what I’m saying is true.
 
Question for the group - i'm doing ISPU tomorrow, but haven't received my trade-in kit yet for my current phone. Can you trade-in in-store? (seems like there are differing accounts).

Normally I would be ok waiting for the trade-in kit, but i leave on vacation 9/23 and I may not get the trade-in kit in time to send back within the 14 days deadline. Also...curious...does anyone know what happens if you missed or send the phone back after 14 days?

Yes, quite normal.

When it gets the first scan, you will be able to track it.

Don't worry, it will get there tommorow.

Yes, you can do the trade-in at the store, but you'll probably have to get a manager to cancel/override the trade-in that you started online. I had to do this last year when I purchased a new MacBook Pro. I started the trade-in online when I placed my order for the new MacBook Pro, but the trade-in kit was delayed and didn't arrive until several days after the new MacBook was delivered. So, I went to my nearest Apple Store to do the trade-in. The employee had to get a manager to override my existing online trade-in, but the process was easy enough. The trade-in kit was still delivered a few days later and I promptly threw it in my recycling bin.

my watch and phone have the same tracking number? they were separate orders. isn’t that weird? i’ve never had this happen.

edit: i guess not. they have separate numbers. but my airpods don’t show up in my ups. i have the tracking number and i can track it but it doesn’t show who it’s going to.
