It finally arrived at SDF (Louisville, KY). Since I live in NOVA, there are UPS flights from SDF to IAD on Tue, Wed, Thur, Fri, and Sat. The flights are usually between 4-6AM, so my phone missed todays flight to IAD as it got to SDF around 8:21AM.

As a fellow NOVA resident, it will be trucked late Thursday/early Friday, sorted, and then out on a truck.
 
As someone who normally upgrades every year but decided not to do it day one this year, reading this thread from a step back reminds me how fanatical some of y’all are about the iPhone preorder process. Tracking flights and stuff, obsessively trying to figure out which plane your phone might be on. wild stuff for a phone that releases every year lol fun to watch 😂
So, you're watching the watchers and saying that we watchers are fun to watch. But now, we're watching you watching us and we think that you are fun to watch. Is this an infinite loop?
 
I'm already in Louisville, so that didn't work for me.
no one has cleared customs yet, it will move toward it's next plane (or truck) and then be marked on Apple's order tracking as shipped. That's when I'll look again at the Change Delivery- "last minute" as you called it previously.

I have tried to change mine on UPS app and in Mac browser window, and neither offer the change I'm looking for today. My hope is it'll change when "shipped" and moving toward my CC.

Looking forward to seeing how our TX CC guy's attempt over lunch today works out. I've decided I'm not willing to drive to my CC twice in one week. If it doesn't work out I'll just wait patiently at home. lol
 
Not the time you want, but you will get a 2 hour window they will choose.

You can also get it delivered to your local UPS Store at no cost if you don't want it delivered to your home that day.

It could cost you a extra day for delivery, more than likely. It will go to the UPS store on Friday and then it takes them a day to log it in and get it ready for pickup. It always has for me, anyway. YMMV.

I suspect it will be unsuccessful .... if's it's successful, we all need to see the actual hold showing via screenshot lol .

Sometimes when you reserve for pickup at a UPS store there is a one-day delay.
I'm curious about that. I do know I have never risked trying to have it sent to the UPS Store because I'm pretty sure it'd arrive there after the truck would have already delivered it to my home.

The CC was the only place i could guarantee it'd be available on Friday morning, and that's why I've always chosen to pick it up there when I was in town on Launch Day.
 
I mentioned this early I the thread. This is the last year UPS CCs will be operating during iPhone season. Most are slated to close up by October. My local UPS CC has already posted the signs they are closing permanently . UPS is shifting all the holds and customer facing shipping to UPS Stores.
 
Depends on the driver. I know mine won’t leave it if I leave him a signed note from the Pope.

I've never had them leave it at the door, even with a note unfortunately. Last year I even printed and signed a release from UPS' website and they didn't leave it. UPS customer care said that Apple's requirements didn't allow for it.

Unlucky. I haven’t had to do it in a few years now. Old lady works from home now luckily.

Did anyone receive their trade-in kit yet?
My trade in kit has always been included with the new phone.

Oh really? I'm doing ISPU so I wonder if they'll just hand me a trade in kit
On my order page it gave me the option to choose between an in-person trade in or with a kit that is shipped to home, I chose ship to home so I have time to make sure everything transfers and so I can switch my work apps over

I see what you mean. Yes, I hope that will work!

Have they announced whether UPS stores will be able to do holds for the original delivery date, or if it will still be a day's delay?
 
Glad to see we made it to Louisville this morning. I fell asleep right around when our(wave2) flight was over the Aleutian Islands on the way to Anchorage and missed the arrival and departure. Friday is so close! It's almost 'out for delivery' party.
