For people who picking up the phone tomorrow at their UPS center.

I'm getting up early tomorrow to get in line at my local UPS center to pick up the iPhone and will take a picture of the line when I get there.
 
Everytime I have gone there hasn't been a line for picking up the phones. Are there really some places that are packed?

That was at my local one last year.

Wwowowow wait, I'm allowed to go pick it up at the UPS store instead of waiting till like 2pm for it to come to my house?????
 
What time was this at and where? That's insane.
Early morning around 5am I think. I left to pick it up later though.

Yeah if you do "UPS My Choice" or call them over the phone and tell them that you want to pick it up at nearest UPS hub. Although depending where you live it could be far.

I want mine early morning :p, mine is about 20 minutes drive.

Yep- but make sure it's a "customer center/hub" not just a UPS Store. Sometimes changing it to UPS Store can delay it by 1 full business day- but I think the hub delivery date stays the same. They just hold it at the same hub it would be at prior to being loaded on the truck to your house.

At least in Southern CA it seems to work this way. And yes, there have been long lines at my hub for pickup too! A lot of us work all day and will miss the signature delivery, so pickup is much easier (and secure).

That picture is crazy. My center doesn't open until 9 AM. I'm actually going to swing by the Apple Store to see if I can snag a Series 2 watch for my wife, head to work and go to UPS at lunch to pick up our phones.
 
Wow that line is crazy! I picked up my 6 when it launch at UPS CC Ontario, CA and there was a line too but they literally just calling names on the box and you walk up to pick up yours, in an out in about 15 mins. Very efficient this way as they don't have to look for it one by one. Very cool to see many excited faces there though lol

My 7+ just departure scan from KY, going to swing by UPS at lunch tomorrow to pick that up
