I think it just depends on the driver? Isn’t it?

This is why I posted the tips. A big smile and happy energy often helps overcome obstacles… 🤓🤓
Very true, and I hope it works out for anyone who tries, just want to set the expectation that they may not be able to. Many UPS drivers are overworked, underpaid, and quite exhausted so the easier you can make their day the better 
So I've got my packages directly from the driver about 3 times now. Once the driver asked for my ID, but other times they asked for my address and name. Maybe they weren't permitted, but gave it away since it takes one thing off their drop off list? this is since 2020 and 2021 as well.
Oh maybe, I worked for them like two decades ago so its very possible they have updated this policy
Ahh, I don’t think they are underpaid. They make pretty good money. Plenty of OT too! It’s just the work they do is non stop. It is a busy, high paced job.Very true, and I hope it works out for anyone who tries, just want to set the expectation that they may not be able to.

could be. so for Amazon drivers I know they are able to release a package only in that geolocation circle (through GPS). Even if they hand it over, they can't mark it as delivered unless the "phone" is in that circle
Judging from the huge disparity in compensation between those on the leadership team, looking at UPS market share and annual profits, yea they are underpaid.
I’m super duper excited!! My 14 inch 1TB stock version is in at Simply Mac. I will be going to pick it up shortly!!
I don’t want to go off topic but numbers and stats don’t lie. Way above average.
Btw, what is your expected delivery date for your Mac? Did you order the 14” model or 16”, which color?
Woo hoo! Congratulations! Big day for you too! So stoked. You are going to love the 💻 congrats again.
Yea I think that really goes toward my larger point that most workers in the US are underpaid.
(I'm comparing the amount they work, the amount of revenue their work generates, and how much their leaders are making for basically no labor at all)
I ordered a 14" M1 Pro bumped up to 10 cores. Ordered it as soon as preorders opened.
Immediately got the Nov 4 estimated delivery date.
Order just shows processing ;/

I would call Apple right away and find out. Here is Apple Inc. internal phone number. It directs you to Apple management team directly.
They have more power and more control. They should be able to help you out and let you know what’s going on. Let us know what happens and keep us posted. Good luck

Are you in a similar boat?
Nah, received my precious Mac 💻 during the launch date. Best day ever. I will never forget. Don’t forget to check out the post
happy viewing!!https://forums.macrumors.com/thread....2315434/page-226?post=30520523#post-30520523

Just the person I wanted to speak to 😁
Looks like you can't charge your Mac when it's shut down with low battery.
Guessing you haven't charged your Mac?
Once it reaches 30% can you shut it down completely, close the lid, wait a minute, then plug in the charger. 🙏
If it's too much trouble, all good.
My battery was still at 50% yesterday. It takes forever to see the battery go down. Since the launch date, I have only charge my Mac once. If I ever reach that 30% 🔋 mark i will try that. Maybe it was just a once time bug?

Skin on the inside of the MacBook 😳 on the trackpad 😳 one does not cover up perfection.
You shouldn't of even mentioned it lol.
I know that now and have learned my lesson. 😂 I’m now down to cover, bottom and palm rest. I think it was my 2010/2011 MBP silver that showed wear on the palm rest and I’ve been using skins ever since.
You're the real MVP for today. 👊
Nope 🥺 happened 3 times when at 16% 25% and 30% it just works 🙄😤 better not be hardware related, I need a rest from the apple store.
Also, you recommend DBran skins for the MacBook 💻?
Thanks!
Dang! That’s wild. We need to put this theory in test. Because if that’s the case that’s not OK! Still within our returnable date. Happened 3 times, wow!!!
Don't give her any more cloth ideas. 🤦♂️
Since @LasersGoPewPew has 2 Expensive MacBook Pro. She should test it out, LOL! She can test on both machines? What do you think?
