I've said this before too. People freak out "oh if i don't get it Friday I'm going out of the country the next day" i've seen that before.
Got a tip for us?

Yes, 99% of people still have the same status (including me) but that should change tomorrow, just be patient.
Everyone shows the same thing. It won’t change until the import scan
It will say preparing to ship until it clears customs or wherever in the US it is hiding to start in your direction. Sign up for UPS MyChoice and as long as the name and delivery address match you should see some tracking.

It will be like that probably until tomorrow night or maybe even Friday morning.
During the iPhone 12 launch. Apple had me at PTS but UPS was updating. I got the Phone on launch day. Apple didn’t update the app until the next day, saying it was delivered the day before.
Yeah, that’s my intention now. When the young lady UPS got my tracking number today, and she saw that my scheduled delivery was to be within 1115 to 315 on Friday, and the customer center doesn’t even open till 11 AM anyway, then I figure what’s the point. Hopefully it’s just one of those where the driver delivers at the early end of the window instead of the latter part of it. I’ve actually heard somewhere that the reason that UPS delivers on Friday, is that Friday is UPS‘s slowest day for deliveries.
I have had the same exact experience. Last three years that I’ve went in there, I was the first one in there and there was hardly anybody behind me and nobody was there for a phone. They thought that it was nice that I bought Krispy Kreme’s and I think they kinda looked at me like I was a little nuts or something, but They had no idea it was iPhone day, they were obviously android users
And there are more features coming to it, including
And most of us have "plane iPhones" sitting in airports.
This is the one day what I would love to be in Louisville, Kentucky to be inside that distribution hub like on the tour and see all those containers full of iPhones before they start breaking them up to separate them to put them on separate planes before they start going out late tomorrow night/Friday morning
No. You won't get any extra credit for it, but they won't punish you in any way either. I like to send back the case and protector, proves it's been looked after and worth the money you're supposed to get back
(or discount, whatever it may be)IIRC, Apple even encourages you to trade in with case and screen protector so they can be recycled.No. You won't get any extra credit for it, but they won't punish you in any way either.

I have never encountered a restricted delivery before, even when ordering things worth over 10k USD.
You order the item, then when you get a tracking number, you arrange the most convenient place to pick the item up with the carrier.
I guess Apple assumes anyone who buys an iPhone is either an unemployed bum or ultra wealthy with a butler watching over the house 🤷♀️
(Or someone crazy enough to use their vacation time to get an iPhone instead of spending that time with their family.)
Where is this coming from? Did some exec say this in some interview somewhere?
Also, I had the same restricted delivery when I ordered my Mac from Apple last month…a Mac that has been out for over a year…
Apple’s policy on their website says a package may only be held for pickup after a failed delivery attempt. It was posted earlier in this thread but I have no idea which post it was now.
It’s been from last fall after iPhone launch . I ordered a MBP last November and it was restricted delivery as well .
AfterShip just dinged with a notification that customs clearance just happened. For real, I swear!
UPS hasn’t updated with that scan yet.
