If you ordered your iPhone for in-store pickup for launch day, have your received any tracking info or updates from Apple and/or by reference on UPS tracking? If so, please post here.

I ordered within 5 minutes of start time and selected In-store pickup and received my confirmation, but I have received no info on it other than that, and in looking at my order I am still able to cancel it if I wanted to. Usually, once your order gets to a certain point you can no longer cancel. I told myself I would not panic lol, until it was Wednesday and here we are!
Wondering if anyone else is in the same boat and if store pickup has anything to do with the lack of info.
TIA
 
That's what I was thinking might be the case.
Thank you very much for easing my mind.
So anxious to get my Max. :)

I have 9/21 pickup scheduled for XS Max Gold at my Apple Store. Nothing has changed other than Order Processing.

if they somehow screwed up and didn't have my iPhone launch day, then I wouldn't mind whining at the Store manager for a free gift card.

LOL! okay, I'll accept that.
 
I am also doing store pick up. Has anyone else been chaarged? My credit card still has the amount reserved...
 
Do you have any idea why the option to pick up from the store is not available around the world (Except for the United States) for nearly four days?
From your past experience, do you think Apple Store will open this option before this Friday?

thanks!

I was charged the tax only which is in pending charges but I ordered under the AT&T plan.
 
Full amount pending here. Kinda just wish it would clear so it doesn't look like double charges come Friday.

I have store pickup windows on 09/21 between 5 to 5:30 pm. I do not have any charge on my credit card yet. Not even pending transition. I hope there is no issue in charging the card on last day.
 
I’ve been charged 2.2k CAD on Sunday and I have a instore pick up for max 512g gold at 8:00. No change beside order is processing, they better have my phone when I come in to their store on Friday!
 
Uh oh, the pending charge dropped off and I don’t see the phone in my app anymore.
 
I have never done a launch pickup from the apple store. My pickup time is 10-10:30. Are there usually two separate lines for people who have appointments and those just buying on the spot? What time should I get there? I’m in a big suburb of Houston Tx, and I know there are already people in line. But I don’t want to get mixed up in that line.

You can go whenever you want. If you go during your pickup time, they will prioritize you. If you go before or after your pick up time, you just have to wait in the non "priority" line.

There is usually someone outside the store, you can just ask them which line they want you to stand in.

You won’t get any info. In store pickups are done via the store stock. The system knows how many of each phone is being shipped to the location and just counts it off. They don’t send customers any delivery info because that would be a huge security risk. You get the tracking deets and you would know when to grab some buddies and go rob the place. Apple isnt going to risk that. Heck I’ve seen stores where there were armed guards covering the loading dock for 3-4 days before a launch in case someone is casing for the UPS/Fed Ex trucks to show up

What time is your pickup window ? Did you get a charge on credit card ?
My order still saying "Order in Progress" and no charge on card at all.

I’ve had pending charges for days, but still says order in progress for a noon pickup.
 
I had the charge on hold on my account for a few days, it seems to have dropped off. My window for tomorrow is 830am-900am. Mine still says "order in progress".
