My tracking went from delivery to today to possible delay....I think at this point best case ill receive it Monday

Yeah, I’m in the same boat. My only hope is it makes it to Stafford CC, and can try to pick it up.

Will we get a notification in the online tracking when it's available for pickup @ a CC? I wonder if it's worth calling the CC directly for an update... or if I should just be patient.

If you have a UPS mychoice account you can add your number to receive text messages...if you do call the CC curious to see what they tell you
 
I called UPS, asked if they expected it to be available from the customer center today and they said it's showing Monday availability. I also asked if I switched to delivery if it would be delivered on Saturday, also a no claiming Apple says no weekend delivery? (not sure I believe that). Disappointed that I may have to wait until Monday.

Doing in-store pickup next year.

Yeah they are at the CC now, should be able to pick them up and not on Monday. Still hoping for Saturday delivery like it says for my phone, the watch doesn't say that.

I just called and she said it would be available to pickup today at 4:00 when they reopen, but based on your call I am not sure about that.

You are going to the one in Stafford correct? I am on the phone now and the lady doesn’t really know what is going on. She did say I could remove the hold and it would be delivered tomorrow If for whatever reason it is not at the CC later today
 
Sounds like we are just getting different answers each time we call. Fingers crossed available @ 4PM when they re-open. Although will depend if if starts raining again if I'll venture out that late today...

Checked in at 11:58 for the 1200-1230 pickup time at the woodlands. Walked out at 12:38 with phone in hand.

Easy and painless.

It’s only difficult if you make it so. I saw people try to get in the wrong line in a misguided attempt to get in the store sooner, later afternoon pickup reservations trying to pick theirs up early, all of them were pulled out of line and basically told to come back at their specified time or to get in the walk in line.

It was glorious.

A little toasty in the store but that’s to be expected with so many people in there.

Smart. Glad to hear it was smooth. I was worried it would be a disaster I guess, so didn't want to do pickup. But dealing with delivery is far from easy this year...

Definitely doing pickup in the future.
 
I arrived 30 minutes early but the first group before had to be taken care of first. I waited my 30 minutes and it took another 30 minutes to finish picking up my two phones. It looked like a mad house. Next year I’m doing a earlier pickup time.
 
Finally delivered! 5 minutes before I got home from work. Can’t wait to set it up tonight.

Looks great! I’m envious. Wish I was getting mine today but think I’m stuck waiting until Monday.

Where did your UPS package originally land in Texas?
I called UPS about an hour ago and they said it will be delivered tomorrow....not holding out too much hope but would be nice.

I’m with you. Mine is at the airport with fedex and they are unsure if it will be delivered tomorrow or even if it will be at the local station.

From Louisville straight to Houston. Arrival scan was around 5:17am or something like that.

Sorry to hear some of y’all are going to have to wait until Monday. Hopefully it arrives soon! UPS lost my package when I preordered my X and I had to wait a week while my wife’s X showed up on launch day.

Side note, The midnight green looks amazing in my opinion.

Mine shows from UPS as having been in Houston since noon yesterday. Hasn't updated since and still no estimated delivery time...

Same! I called again last night and apparently the previous agent didn’t process my hold for pickup properly as I should have been able to pickup from the CC yesterday. Now there’s some kind of ‘UPS package intercept’ hold request. At least now at the top of the page it’s showing hold for pickup and the CC address. Just hope it’s available first thing Monday AM…

I sold my 8 plus last weekend and have been getting by on an old iPhone 6 I had. It’s small and so slow now in comparison. Eager to get back to a modern phone haha.

I am holding out hope it finds its way onto a truck for delivery today!
