gotta make a UPS mychoice account and change the access point to the cc
Guys what's the difference between picking it up at a cc or a ups store? Which one has longer lines? The ups store near me (1.5 mi) is a very small store been there before and it opens at 8. Do you think I should do that?
 
When I choose to pick it up from the cc it says
Package available: Sept 25
Pick up by: Oct 1
This is super frustrating.. Also if I pick UPS store it says the 28th
If it ships to my place it says estimated by end of day on the 25th. Thing Is I'm not gonna be home until like 4 pm. Will they just send it back to the ups store and I can get it on Saturday?

Mine says the same exact thing. It just means: 1) that your window to pick up begins on the 25th and 2) If you do not pick it up before 10/01/2015, UPS will ship it back to Apple.

If you pick a UPS Store, it just means that the warehouse has to find the package, remove it from the truck that was originally going to ship to your house and put it on the truck that is going to swing by the UPS store to make deliveries and pick ups. This process usually takes an additional day(s) compared to if you were to ship to your home address–That's why it says the 28th.

Holding it at the Customer Center is usually the fastest as it doesn't get put on a truck that has to make its rounds and delivery attempts.

This is all correct. When it says "Pick up by: Oct 1" it means you have until then to pick it up. It says "Package available: Sept 25", so that means it will be there for you to pick up on Sept 25. So yes, choose the CC, not the UPS store because choosing the UPS store will add a business day to your pickup.

Make sense? As long as you choose the CC, you should be fine for pickup on the 25th. Just make sure you check the hours they are open. Mine CC here locally is open from 9am-noon and then again from 3pm-6pm. Weird, but true.
 
Also, I just wanted to link to the UPS website regarding Photo IDs with addresses that do not match the address on the package:

http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/resources/sri/access-point-id-requirements.html

Option 3: Present a government-issued photo ID where the full address or name on the ID matches the full address or name on the package. If the last name or full address doesn't match, you will need to provide the package tracking number to the UPS Access Point representative.
Finding the tracking number for your ordered Apple products has been mentioned several times in this thread and on these forums.
 
I haven't received my tracking number yet from Apple but the shipment shows up in My UPS app with delivery for Friday...
 
are cc's the only place you can have something held for pickup?

You can have it held at other locations, but it will likely add a business day to your pickup date. In my experience, only the CC hub will allow you to pick it up on the date of delivery.
 
I kind of feel I should of just reserved this damn phone in store. At least I wouldn't have to stress about this piece of crap tracking number.
 
I'm shipping it to my bf's place bc I won't be in town to sign for it. Does that mean I won't be able to track it under UPS MyChoice? Because you have to add an alternate address, etc.

My status has been changed to PFS for couple days now (its also shown up on my support profile) but I have not be able to get a tracking number via reference...
 
Mine has FINALLY gotten away from Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong! And moved SO much... to Taoyuan, Taiwan! Woo Hoo! (sarcasm, of course) I would think it would move a lot today so it can be in the US tomorrow so it can do the 2 day trip to me in Oregon and arrive Thursday night.

Yours and mine are riding together :p
 
Ordered 17 minutes after preorders went live.

6s Plus 64gb space gray
Went to pfs Friday afternoon
Back to processing Friday evening
Back to pfs Sunday evening
Currently not on my support profile
And no tracking number by reference

I'm starting to get really nervous about missing the flight tracking game.

Not at all nervous about receiving the device on the 25th.

I am fairly certain you are correct, it will not link to your mychoice account but it should link with his if he has one set up.

That being said, the track by reference should work either way if you use your phone number and his zip code.
 
I think what made this wait super agonizing was the extra week. If this was one week after pre orders I would be fine but two weeks of receiving no tracking has literally made me go bonkers. I might as well have camped out if I wanted to torture myself.
My thing is this.. Apple, if you're going to give someone tracking please give us all tracking. It's not fair that some people get it and others literally have no way of tracking their phones. To me it's not about the phone it's about me paying a lot of money to a company that should at least update me where my thousand dollar phone is. ugh,

Edit: Seriously, Apple hasn't given anybody tracking. I haven't heard of anybody having their status go to Shipped. The only reason why people have any tracking right now is UPS. And there is no way in hell to time it so that all of them get handed over to UPS at the same time. Besides, I told you that the likely reason that you don't have tracking yet is that given how old your phone is, it's probably stateside already, and you may not see anything until Thursday.
