Last year I released the shipment through the UPS app and the driver knocked my door and required my signature anyways. I think Apple request for a release overrides that option. Thankfully I was at home.

One year I left a release note right on my door and they still didn’t leave the package. They stuck the dreaded red sticker right to the release. Luckily I tracked down the truck and was able to get that same day. But UPS has its own set of very strict rules with iPhones. And generally they won’t leave them with no one home.
 
My time is 6:55am and I’m still in ZZ.
Same time for mine, but my wife's scan was two minutes earlier, for 6:53 am, and she got a scan in Louisville earlier this morning. It'll happen for all of us, just have to have a bit more patience.
 
Headed to south texas. Can i stalk a ups truck to get my package earlier?

I would still play it safe. Look how the tracking goes, every year lol. Doesn't hurt to attempt to leave a release authorization even though it may not say anything about a signature being required. It's hit and miss, with UPS. Mine says signature required. My advice would be play it safe and leave a note or authorization form or whatever if you think there's a chance that you might miss the delivery, just in case.

yes i agree... but how can we get this form???? Apple or UPS wont give me one. I thought it would be on the apple.com order page but it is not! what can we do?? I work tomorrow and would be good not to have to stay home and play sick :/
 
Last year if I remember correctly UPS had some method on their site of tracking the trucks, and I remember all day seeing the truck continue to get closer, and then driver off in the other direction. Not sure if they are going to do that again as I wouldn't put it past some members of this forum literally chasing down their UPS drivers lol.
Your profile pic will be us tomorrow

Did you get anything saying they got your hold request? It doesn’t mention it on the tracking and no email.

nope. Nothing. See attached photo that’s all I got. Screen shot from the ups app
Panic averted! I called UPS and confirmed that my package will be held and ready for pick up tomorrow :)
Glad it’s working out. I was curious about mine too haha

I’m not thrilled about picking up at this new CC location. For the last few pickups, the rep said, “we looked everywhere, but it’s not here”. Some other rep will suggest that they check another area...”oh, here it is!” :rolleyes:

The previous CC location always knew where to find my packages.

Ya my app shows the requested change but nothing online or on tracking. I did the request on the website.

It is showing Monday, oh well I waited too late
For a CC or a store?
 
Question for the peanut gallery. Usually I upgrade my old phone to the latest iOS release because in years past it has come out on the Tuesday or Wednesday before the new iPhone releases on Friday...this year, with the iOS 13 release today at 1pm, and my new iPhone set to arrive tomorrow, should I even bother? Does it make it easier when transferring from my XS Max to my new 11 Pro Max if they are on the same OS version?
