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?
It seems to be a day delay, they treat the UPS store as a "stop" It can vary but I think the UPS stores don't really check them in right away either . YMMV with that one
 
i Had ordered it at 8.01am for delivery and delivery date is 20th sept, however I see preparing to ship as order status.. I know it might have been discussed in forum but can someone please let me know how do I track my order ..
so far I checked ups my choice using order ID (with and without last 2#) and even called ups to check my incoming order via address but unable to get tracking number .. is there any other way to check ..

If you ordered iphone 16 then apple/UPS hasn't printed labels yet. Probably will show later today if its like last year.

If you ordered iphone 16 pro then it should be already in Louisville

Are you saying the 16 and 16+ are arriving later today or tomorrow ?

Probably tomorrow. Last year the label was printed on Wednesday and Louisville origin scan was on Thursday before Launch day.

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
UPS CC does have the ability to put a CC hold on it once it's at the hub. Whether they want to is another question lol
 
I can't remember which recently launch but it did happen that all the ones that were a week late bumped up to launch day but I am not sure which launch lol
I just don’t see how that’s possible considering the launch day people have been tracking their phones all the way from China. How could ours get here in 48 hrs?

When it happened before, the status on the Apple order page reflected it. You would have to do a pretty difficult search thru the older threads for that info :(

Fingers crossed, i love my ritual of Friday morning iPhone Launch Day pickup at CC. Usually I'm the only customer there and I make sure to let the staff there know that I appreciate them.

I do the same with the driver. I know they have some intense days delivering and most issues are not their fault, but they are the face of UPS who gets the frustration/anger when things don't go as expected. Kindness goes a long way regardless of the momentary issue.

Mine isn’t even past processing so I doubt it’s anywhere near America at this point. Probably not even produced yet lol

They weren't allowing pickup at the CC last year. I doubt that they'll allow it this year.

The flights from China to Louisville take about 14 hours. I have gotten iPhones that left China less than 24 hours earlier.

I might try again. The CC people know me and are very willing to help, but last year they said the restrictions won’t let them hold my iPhone for pickup anymore. Sigh.

Sorry if my messages might be repetitive, since it seems most new people to the thread are only reading the most recent page, if that much, I go ahead and answer like it's a new topic. lol
