I selected my UPS CC as soon as I found my tracking number. It still says its requested. That was two days ago, how are you guys getting the pick up request to finalize?
 
I think I will head there before work and see what happens. But please do let me know what happens with you, it will probably be an indication of what will happen with me.

Not very good. The 800 number said 8am. I get here and she says it may not be today. It's all of 10 miles from the hub. She said probably tomorrow. It was only just unloaded and had to be brought over to this location. I'm not feeling good about this. My Choice doesn't even say it was unloaded yet. Argh!

Ouch. So you selected a UPS store instead of a hub? In my case, I selected the hub it goes to before it goes out to delivery.

I was at my UPS CC at 8 and was also told that the packages that were processed this morning won't be shuttled from across the street until 9am
 
Sitting in my car outside my UPS CC. Not a single person in sight except for drivers arriving for work. It's funny how some CCs can have a huge line on iPhone day, and others don't.
 
No dice for me either. He said it will be available by 10 AM today, he said the truck got there but it hasn't been unloaded and he knew exactly what they were too, iPhones.
 
Just to give hope to those who routed to a UPS store and got their delivery date changed to 9/19, when I checked this morning, it is out for delivery to the UPS store with a delivery date of today. I worried for nothing.
 
So I'm not sure if this is how it works everywhere, but at my hub, I had an Arrival Scan, followed by a Destination Scan, and then finally a held for pickup status change.
 
Ok, so this doesn't bode well at all. I went to the CC and she said, well, it's in Forest Park and was just unloaded. But, it may not be here until Saturday. So I called the 800 number when I left and she said, well this type of package isn't guaranteed and it won't be until Monday. Seriously? WTF?

That is one of the many reasons I hate UPS, they'd rather a package sit in a storage bin than actually getting it to a costumer a few miles away at another store

Ok, now this p^sses off even further! I just get home and on the phone with Apple, and ask I checked my email from UPS, it says it's ready for pickup! Well, not p^ssed off because if it's there, I'll go back. But it's quite freaking annoying that no one knows anything!
 
Mine is on its way to the UPS store across the street from my house!!! I still wish I had done the Hub, oh well, next year!

I like that I don't have to wait around home now, I can go run an errand, get a coffee. I'll always do a pickup now.

Haul ass man! Just grab every iPhone looking box you see, you'll find yours eventually haha
 
Success! A smaller crowd than I expected and the guy was on time with the truck. I was the 4th person there. Had some good Apple banter. Within 10 minutes I was out of the door.

A lady opened her jet black iPhone 7 right there to show us...it's nice but I wouldn't risk it.
