Let's use this thread to report actual delivery of the packets and comments about the kit contents.
Please no "nothing yet" posts , at least until we get to 31 Jan 2019, when that may mean there is an issue. UA just states you should get the kit in January.
In the past, UA has used mystatus.united.com to report shipment status of the kits.
Not confirmed yet, the link on mystatus.united.com for requesting luggage tags suggests there may be no physical Silver or Gold membership kits for 2019. Appears confirmed no Gold / Silver cards are requestable
Also new this year is the "welcome letter" on mystatus.united.com

FWIW, I qualified 1K for the first time in December 2017. I received the handle wrap without requesting it sometimes in March 2018. It actually arrived the day I was planning to email 1Kvoice about it.

In the past, I've always received a Silver package consisting of pretty much only a luggage tag once I qualify. This time I noticed I needed to actually request it on the site shown above. No big deal, but I kind of like having the tags just to have something more durable than the paper tags you can get at the airport.

Alright, I'm feeling blind. Where can you check the shipment status on https://mystatus.united.com/ ?
I wasn't sent anything physically when qualifying as Platinum for the first time (drink tickets?). I am now 1K and still have not seen anything.
Can somebody send a screenshot of where I should be looking? I'm on desktop version of the mystatus site... Thanks.

For _this_ year (December 2018) - at least for me - mystatus.united.com website is not showing any status on kits. Unfortunately.
Good luck and hopefully your kit will arrive soon!

edit: looks like others such as drewguy (see below) are seeing kit status info on their pages!

Got my 1K kit today. The only destination I have been that are on the coasters is Rio de Janeiro (I have been there 4 times). My wife is still waiting for her 1K kit (first time qualifying). She has been to Auckland, Amsterdam and Rio de Janeiro. She even lived one year and a half in Rio de Janeiro when she was an expat kid.

Qualified for 1K in Mid-November (after dropping to silver last year). Received my packet around Christmas containing Auckland, Rio, Singapore, and Amsterdam coasters. Nice touch this year.
