There’s no such thing as “doing what your supposed to do” this is all luck. There’s no set rule that says if you order by so and so you get a release day delivery.
Got a tip for us?

You obviously chose a high demand configuration, I don’t know what you expect anyone to say
My iPhone 11 Pro Max and Apple Watch Series 5 have September 20th delivery dates and "Preparing to Ship" order status but do not yet appear in UPS My Choice. It is 7:34 PM in Shenzhen. I would not expect any UPS My Choice updates during the next 12 hours.
Ya I’m sure all the ones marked preparing to ship are ready to roll Monday morning.
Did you change this through citizens one? Cuz that’s where the Apple store app takes me to update my info
I always just do the release authorization on the ups tracking and leave a note that says, to the exact wording
“ups, please leave package at door, thank you”
And sign the note. Never not had them leave it.
But when I click update, it takes me to citizens one where they aren’t asking for anything
And I tried but the app was not taking orders. It took constant opening and closing of the app for it to come of the We’re getting ready screen or whatever it says.
I had my order by 5:03 & I saw the dates had already slipped by 5:05 when I went to check again. I don’t know but you’re kinda over expecting tbh.
I also had my mac, iPhone & iPad opened, it took several tries on iPhone and refreshes on the Mac to get my order in.

What’s the point of doing all the preorder IUP stuff if you’re going to get a delivery date two weeks after launch?
Not everyone gets it on day one I’m sorry but get over it it’s a phone in the end you can wait a little bit.
I can call the UPS help line and do that right? Assuming I have to wait for the tracking number to populate... Would that delay delivery?
I don’t know what you mean by I’m over expecting. I feel for you in that it sucks and seems arbitrary but it is literally supply and demand
Doesn’t say anywhere that doing anything guarantees you a launch day delivery.

from what I’ve seen the green is popular for some reason.
Question since this is my first time selecting store pickup. Do you still see it pop up via UPS track by reference when you’re gonna pick it up at the store and not being shipped directly to you?
You can call if you don’t have the tracking number. When you do get tracking it’s an option on there you don’t have to call. If you have it held at the hub where it’s loaded onto your truck it usually won’t delay it.
I used Apple Card paid the full amount don't want citizen bank this way I can pay as much as I want every time citizen bank you have to call if you want to pay more or pay off they gave me hard time when I wanted to pay of the balance of my last iPhone
Green is popular but obviously so is that config or your delivery time wouldn’t have slipped.
My phone is now showing up on UPS Mychoice. 9/20 cant come soon enough!
BTW, pay little attention to the status on the Apple Store App. A few years ago I got no updates to mine and phone arrived on release day. Happens to many every year.

Download UPS App and sign up for My Choice. It’s free and you can ‘Sign” to have the package released and they will leave it.
