Yep. I couldn't do it last year, either. I think UPS said it was a security issue, but I suspect they just didn't want to deal with a bunch of us walking in and having them run around looking for our stuff.
i used UPS CC maybe 5 times, never more than one other customer and usually I was the only one. I loved going at 10am and saving the driver one stop around 8pm.

Last year I was out of town on Launch Day and my family received the phone and sent me photos of the box. lol

Just to add a little detail to @SteveJawbs post. Sign up for a free UPS My Choice account and then use the UPS app once your UPS label printed then you should be able to track in the UPS app.

Unfortunately, this is all I get. There is a big number, but it’s all crossed out with only the last four digits left.
 
If I recall correctly, last year UPS allowed instructions for iPhones to be redirected or held after they cleared customs in Louisville and were no longer handled by “international“ UPS.
I thought I'd heard CC pickups were eliminated several years ago, but I was able to arrange for it in 2022 after it arrived in SDF, maybe after clearing customs. I wonder if that is the case now.

Previous to 2022 I'd done the request before the phone got to SDF, under the control of "international" UPS I would imagine.

Fingers crossed! I do not want to wait all day for the 8pm brown truck.
 
My UPS still shows nothing coming.
You and me both, lol. I at least have confirmation so far that it will be here September 20 by seven but I’m not seeing all of these details like other people are seeing even when I signed up for my choice.

We looking at UPS197 for wave 1? Scheduled to depart Anchorage to Louisville at 11:23PM.
As @Placehold5894 indicated wave 1 will be staying with the plane that brought you to ANC. GTI8171 added an outbound flight to SDC. No Cargo switch to a UPS branded Jet. Sit back as your flight is on the taxi way. You should have an 8:20 PM departure.

Flight with my PM DT ("wave 1"??) is preparing to depart ANC for Louisville. :)

This is common to every delivery thread I've been in, and I've been in a lot. Some people get no notifications by the time they receive their phones.
