lol trust me I will be pissed. And then I will probably just do whatever I was going to do anyway.
I’d be coughing up blood and physically sick.
I’ve got two wireless chargers sitting here in the box ready. One from Apple and one from Amazon. Waiting on that IPX to arrive.
I believe the side button has many roles to play. Hold down, double press, and press.
Apparently UPS drivers hit the Customer Centers first and stores later in the day. Some times last stops so it might delay your pick up
Do you remember that episode of South Park when Cartman is waiting for the Nintendo Wii to come out? He’s pacing in front of the store, back and forth...back and forth and it’s still about a month out? So instead of just waiting, he freezes himself to make the time go by faster? That’s basically us right now.
In the grand scheme of things, no it doesn’t matter if we receive it Friday or 2 weeks from Friday, but for right now, as we’re living it, we’re so excited that another hour of waiting seems like an eternity.
be right back, going to freeze myself for 4 days. Send help if I don’t respond by Friday morning.
holding at a UPS store requires an extra shipment to the store, delaying it usually a day. Holding at a CC or hub just stops it at a location it is already passing through
I’ve had it held at UPS hub before with no issues. As long as it’s the main hub. The small pack & ship stores could get the delivery at the end of day I suppose.

Here in the 11/17-24 group looking at all this movement for launch day, little disappointing the store issues caused this. I stayed up and all. I cursed Tim when the store didn’t open on time on the app lol.

Angela Ahrendts is in charge of that not Tim Cook
Pic? I’m pending receipt of mine as well. What color did you get?!
I spoke with a friend tonight that works at UPS. She said she work verify in the morning, which by then we may already know the answer, but she thought the route was CGO - HKG - ANC - SDF
according to FlightAware there aren't any UPS fights out of Incheon for another 13+ hours so I don't think we'll see any more movement until tomorrow.
Does anyone recall last year when the people in the next batch after launch started seeing any kind of movement? Last year I was in the Oct. 4-11 group but got my phone on 9/24. As I recall, we started seeing movement (cc charges, moving to Preparing for Shipment, etc.) the weekend after launch. But wasn’t there a group between us (Oct. 4 - 11) and launch day folks? If so, when did they start seeing progress? It appears that my group (Nov. 17 - 24) this year is next after launch group so based on last year, when do you think we’ll start seeing any kind of movement?
Same 2-3 week estimate as last year, received a week (9-24) after launch. Would’ve been 9-23 but it wanted to see the world before coming to California
AFAIK, the UPS customer centers are all at the local hub, so there is no "stop" per se as the package is already there.
The UPS stores around here get the shipments the same day as the local hub. For the driver, it's just another delivery along with all the other deliveries during the day. In fact, my closest UPS store said they get their packages for pickup first thing in the A.M. This differs from location to location.
Summary - For absolute certainty for pickup this Friday, get the package held at a customer center. This eliminates a package transfer to another truck and any issues with local drivers having difficulties, delays, or delivering to the wrong address.
