If it is your normal distribution center for al, your other packages, it usually arrives there overnight because it would then get loaded into delivery trucks for residential delivery... so typically, it would be available at opening or very early. You can set an alert in My UPS to be notified by SMS when it is ready for pickup.

Pickup from UPS store

I would think that it depends on the CC. My CC closes at 6 pm and then reopens again from 8-9 pm.
UPS advised me that most drivers ignore the pre-sign/signature release option. Nobody home = no delivery. I therefore requested they hold at the local hub (farmingdale LI). Strange that the 1-800 service reps claimed that warehouse closes at 6pm. Local UPS store advised it is actually one of the few locations that re-opens in evening for pick ups (7 to 9Pm), but it is not coded in their system which explains the confusion. Hope they are right since they are closed on weekends.
This is my first time picking up a UPS item at the distribution center. I filled out the online info for them to hold it at the hub and now my tracking info reads:
A UPS My Choice® delivery change was requested for this package. / The receiver arranged to pick up the package at a UPS facility.
Since it says request does that mean it hasn't been accepted or approved yet, does UPS confirm with me that they will hold it tomorrow morning?

You can pick up as soon as they open. But prepare for a line. I usually go around 10-11 and never had an issue. Everyone likes to get there when they first open, so if you can wait till later morning or early afternoon, before and after lunch rush you should be golden.
You can pick up when it opens, but there might be a crowd of people there at opening time and the phones may not be off the truck quite yet. Mine opens at 8:00 am, but I'm going to show up at around 10:00 am.
It should be updated this morning to say delivery change request completed at the top, then under details it should say that it was completed. Mine just changed to completed a few minutes ago.
Now to carefully plot my arrival time!
Still waiting. Last
No action since 9:45pm last night. It does say HFPU. I'm hoping it's at the one I asked for and not in Forest Park. It would still need to be shipped to the other CC. I assume it'll be ready at 8am.
Was yours already saying HFPU earlier? Maybe they are still scanning items in and yours will change soon. I think once your's goes to the delivery scan, thats when it will be put to the side and actually held at the location you selected for pick-up. Today is one of UPS's busiest days of the year by far..not to mention everything else they are doing on the regular as well. I hope you see an update soon!
Don't we have to wait until it's "Ready for pickup" before we go and pick it up? I believe mine is in the hub already because I see an arrival scan there but it is still not ready for pickup... Can I still go and try to pick it up?

There's a difference. Forest Park is by the airport which is the hub. My requested placed that I asked for yesterday is on Marvin Miller. We'll see in about 6 minutes lol

Yea, it changed almost an hour ago with final scan. Just plotting arrival time now. When the iPhone 6 Plus cam out, there were a lot of people at the UPS hub waiting just like I was. The guy bringing them from the main location (which was right across the street) was late, so it was only adding to the anticipation. I was like 2nd in line though so I wasn't complaining. The line was hanging outside of the door.
I am hoping mine changes soon. The hub opens at 8 and I'm hoping to pick it up at that time, if not it will have to be after work but mine right now say "In transit" still.
Ha there's a difference in location for me. Plus the one I asked for opens at 8am and the other at 10am. Argh!
