Picking mines up at the UPS customer center on Atlantic ave, always do that for high value Apple Products,
one less hand involved. My last scan, "Held for Receiver PickUp", excited.....
Got a tip for us?

Weird that I have 2 phones coming, both arrived in KY together but they shipped out on different flights. Both arrived in Portland at different times. One says it will be delivered today by end of day and the other gives me a time window today.
Just seems inefficient.

NICE! I probably should have done that on my way to work in DT Raleigh. I'm just WFH instead.
In the past with apple products they've always required a signature. Even though I have a signature on file with UPS and in UPS choice have it set to be left on the porch they still require a signature on apple products. Every time without fail so far.
What's also disturbing is how many times delivery drives and thrown or dropped packages. Ever since we got the nest doorbell and can see the camera we've seen it quite a bit. They won't even walk up the 2 steps on the porch. They've thrown the package. The last guy walked up the porch but wouldn't bend down, just dropped it. I've had one guy actually slam the package down. These packages weren't fragile but they don't know that.
This has happened with both UPS and amazon drivers. I've never seen it from Fedex or DHL.
Midnight green? I can't wait to see it in person. Looks slick in the picture.It was a pleasure tracking these with you everyone. I’m sure our phones all have stories of their flights together just like we have our stories from this thread. Best of luck to everyone on your delivery day!
Ps. Keep me updated on the class action, even though we got delivery a day early

It just shows in my tracking view when I’m logged in as an option. It just showed up for me, so now I get to spend the day obsessively tracking my ups driver!
From the UPS website:
Follow My Delivery is available for packages sent using UPS Next Day Air®, UPS Worldwide Express®, and UPS Worldwide Express Plus®.
I’ve got it now! Obsessively tracking the driver as we speak...From the UPS website:

Really?? Are you a paid my choice member or anything? Where are you seeing truck tracking?
I see no such option. I'm a free My Choice member but not paid, maybe that is the reason.
In past several years as a free (just created an account) My Choice member it just shows up once the truck actually scans as loaded and then out for delivery. Does not ever show before that in my experience. No paid choice member fees in past years but of course they could change that after I have gotten to ry for several years LOL. I want it so I can obsess all day LOL. Still waiting for the fabled “out for delivery“ scan. It just went from “scan for delivery” to ”loaded on truck” scan. They always leave my local UPS center at 9 AM so probably half hour before I get to see that and maybe live truck tracking. My driver says he hates it because the computers mainly give him his logistical order/path for day and of course people like us obsessing get upset when we see truck nearby then it goes another way and does not come back. LOL. My experience is he delivers business first, but if they have next day packages in my neighborhood then he delivers by mid morning. I have friends across street who get lots of such because they have some kind of business so hoping same today so my package comes this am, rather than the 2-6 PM it says LOL. UPDATE: it just shifted to Out for delivery today, I guess scans are a bit late and he is moving about half hour sooner today. Maybe I am important and will get soon LOL along with others in town who ordered iPhones — Dream on LOL. Still a fun process

I'm out for delivery but I don't see that option - maybe someone who can will share a screen shot. Please.
It shows in the app. You don't have to be a paid member. I have found that it sometimes shows a map for packages and sometimes doesn't.
Nope, not a paid member. There's just a link there when I login that says "follow my delivery"
Hmmmmm no Follow My Delivery for me either. I've had it the past few deliveries. Maybe it doesn't turn on until the truck is in your area?
Yep boo here also. Mine looks like yours mine is also blank. I want to be able to obsess more, I demand my freedom to obsess on the truck now LOL. ;-)

Usually shortly after out for delivery. I can see it leaving the local hub, nothing yet. Maybe the scan is there for out but truck really is not leaving closer to 9 AM and the option shows once truck is really moving on its GPS????
Maybe it doesn't show because I have a delivery window instead of "end of day"? Not that the delivery window is helpful. My dude shows up when he shows up.
Waaah he’s right by my apartment complex now!Maybe it doesn't show because I have a delivery window instead of "end of day"? Not that the delivery window is helpful. My dude shows up when he shows up.

Gah he's over in the neighboring apartment complex now 😭
Yeah... looks like he's doing the neighborhood behind me before he actually gets to my apartment complex. That's it, I'm suing.

I am curious. Normally my UPS trucks leave the local hub at 9 AM which is 30 minutes after my out for delivery scan. So wondering if it is on truck, ready to go but he really has not left 15 minutes ago. It will be 9 in another 15 minutes and then his GPS will trigger that option for me perhaps. What time (if you noticed) did it say out for delivery? Did the Follow My Delivery show up same time or later when truck really left your hub. More curiousity its fun to see where truck goes even if he does not hit me to the 2-6PM time UPS says rather than end of day for me?

LOL yeah lets get UPS for not letting us follow my truck ;-)
Well I found this post from January this year who commented on this feature being unavailable after his using for several years. It is a comment from a driver and one comment about someone using to apparently track the truck to use location to rob it? But the main post was interesting, it pretty much sums up my drivers comments and he is a good driver, friendly and waves when he goes by on daily runs. So wonder if this is fading in use by UPS, has become an option for local hubs? I don’t really know but I know my driver says the computer orders his logistics and if there is nothing in my neighborhood then perhaps my package is not near for him to get to me early even if near and I tried to flag him down..
What happened to the Follow My Delivery feature?
I'm a UPS My Choice Member and have used this feature before. I like being able to track the UPS truck on the map. Now with a package out for delivery today the feature is gone and I'm signed in. Is this feature not available anymore?

Driver here, I honestly hope they stop offering it, at least until they can improve it. Sure its a great idea in theory, but it more of an annoyance to everyone. As a driver, I have this particular customer who uses it to find me, follow me and then attempting to wave me down while driving so they can get their package. Not only is this a safety concern, it is tremendously time consuming, as their package is usually packed away at the very back of my truck and it takes me several minutes to dig through everything and find it. I would prefer to just deliver it on schedule, even if it means one more stop, it's way faster than being stopped especially if I am in a rush to make scheduled commits. Then on the customers end it really isn't accurate, we may be right near your house but do not end up getting to your street until several hours later due to the way the routes are planned, pickups/scheduled time commits, etc.
I hope they do find an alternative, more accurate solution/idea, but until then I am not a big fan of this feature. End rant lol

A driver was intercepted and robbed and murdered recently and it was discovered that the criminals were using this feature to plan their attack

Out for delivery here too. It's funny how the Apple Store app still says "Arrives Sep 27 - Oct 1" on the order.
