what you can do is make a account password. that way u dont need the social. when you go in u just need the password and ID.
Got a tip for us?

My one email I got last night says the same as everyone else's. I ordered from the Apple Store iPad app.
AT&T iPhone 6+ 128gb Space Gray for in store pickup 9/19.
Going to Arrowhead Mall Apple Store in Peoria, AZ. Since the store opens at 8am, I'll probably plan to get there around 7am with a breakfast sandwich and a venti coffee... while I wait for my venti iPhone.
I only did in-store pickup because ship dates had slipped by 12:40am, but in-store was available for 9/19.

Was thinking of getting an earlier train in. But there's really nothing to gain from it for me. The whole point of store pick up was so that I didn't have to get up stupid early hahah. Although the earlier I get in, that means I can leave earlier. Hmmm.
Ugh this sounds like a process.... great! The billing address and account is through my dad's work... obviously I don't live there so now I need something that proves that address...
I set up the online account so idk if that makes me an authorized user - looks like I have to all AT&T and sort this out.
I'm in the same boat. I asked in person at the Apple store today and the one thing I would add to your collection is a utility bill with you dad's name and address clearly visible.
The associate said they were going to be strict on launch day, but would allow me to use a computer to log into any bill pay sites used by primary account holder to give them adequate proof. Notably, mortgage bills doesn't count as proof for some reason.
Let us know if there is other insight here to make next week as smooth as possible.
Don't blame you, you're gunna be there right as it opens, gunna piss off a lot of people who camped out hahaha. I wish I could be there that early to just waltz in and out with my brand new phone lol.
lmao u know what... ill take some pics with the brand new phone. That should get them even more hhaahah

So, it was about ~12 hours from order confirmation email to pickup time email?
Did you wait for them to contact you and give you a pickup time or u just went for store open?

128gb VZW iPhone 6
My pending email says 9/19 but haven't received a pickup time email yet. Hoping they have a second line for pickup orders so I don't have to wait in the big line.

This was my experience as well for the air...
I only got a processing email, and haven't been charged yet... 6+ silver 64GB
They told me the approx date then I got another email where they gave me the exact time to come into the store.
I thought about it. But am working that day so just decided to have it delivered to my house. Someone will be home and I don't have to worry about going to pick it up and something happening
Update on the "not the primary account holder" pickup issues.
Apple store clarified: if this is an upgrade on an existing line - then all you need is to be
If this is a new line, then you need to have the more stringent secondary pieces of info like utility bills for the primary account holder, etc.
Apple store clarified: if this is an upgrade on an existing line - then all you need is to be
- An authorized user on your wireless account
- Know the last 4 of the social on the account
- Know the billing ZIP
- Know your account password
- Have a state ID (not necessarily with address of account holder)
