This seems to change every year. Most recently I’ve heard that even if you do the pre-sign thing, Apple requires UPS to release it to a human, unless you have a UPS driver that likes to bend the rules
Last time I purchased an iPhone (2 years back) the UPS guy wouldn't leave the package without a signature at all - not even with a neighbour.
Fortunately I do not live too far from work so I had to run home and sign for it!
This time I'm going to store!
It looks like it’s giving me the option to pre sign. I’m not going to try it as I’ve blocked off the whole day to dedicate to waiting 😅 “perks” of being disabled, I guess!
