Just curious. Now that everyone is switching to "Will Call", I think the UPS centers will have lines. Wondering if I should wait for delivery or pick up...

Yes no doubt there will be a big line when your center opens on Friday. I'm just going to stop there after work on Friday around 3pm, should be clear(er) by then. No way i'm going to miss time off of work to sit at home from 9am til who knows when waiting for the brown truck. :apple:

I'm on the same boat...the package is under my wife's name but the ups my choice is under my name and I also put my name and phone number when I setup the will hold thing. I don't want to drive 20 mins and just be turn away.

I had the same dilemma so I asked UPS. According to this rep as long as the shipping address matches your license you should be good.

I would hate to get denied with my friends phone being in my name but my actual phone is in my mom's name since she is the ATT account holder.

Is the message that it is not available for Sprint customers just those that ordered directly from Sprint? I ordered a Sprint phone from Apple.com and currently have a request to hold it for Will Call on Friday.

If you ordered from apple.com you will be able to pick it up on 9/19.

Let's hope this is the case. Thanks.

Beware that once you pick this option, there's no canceling it. I picked the option to have it delivered to my local UPS store, but saw that it wouldn't be delivered until Monday.

I wanted to just go back to having it delivered to my home but that was not an option. I called and they can't fix it. I switched it to my UPS hub which is further away so I can pick it up on the day of, but as others have stated it will probably be a zoo.

You do realize your address is in that screenshot, and you mentioned where you live in a previous post which was enough information to find what I believe to be your house on Google street view, right?

Tell your neighbor across the street he needs a new Beware of Dog sign, it's hard to take it seriously when it's written in Comic Sans.

Since you brought it up I went ahead and edited it out. I wasn't really concerned, our address is public and the hundreds of people I've dealt with on ebay have it if they really care

Idk... Too risky. My UPS driver always shows up at 7pm

.
I'm off Friday so I'd love to stop by UPS to pik up 8:30. But if it get on that truck, I'm screwed.

(Am I being a drama queen.....)

Ah yeah, I guess I'm more paranoid than others. But seriously, tell your neighbor to lose that Comic Sans Beware of Dog sign.

There isn't risk. You either use My Choice and they hold it for up to 5 days at the UPS hub, or you let them deliver it to your door. You can't pick it up at the hub without the door tag if you didn't arrange for it ahead of time.

I'm hoping to have my shipment held at the UPS Customer Center, since it's literally a few blocks from my office.

However, the shipment is in my wife's name, since the Verizon account is hers and I'm adding a line.

So, can I pick it up, or will my wife have to?

According to the person I spoke to you should be able to pick it up as long as the shipping address on the box matches your license

The thing that sucks is, mine doesn't match my license, because we moved recently

I think if your name matches what is on the package you are fine.

My package has been scanned and departed from a UPS facility today. It is on its way to the local UPS center. I had a UPS live chat rep request to have it held for pickup. Once he was finished with the request he replied by typing the following:

"Your package will be held for customer pickup from 09/18/14 to 09/24/14, excluding weekends and holidays."

So... does that mean I can pick it up on the 18th?...

Just wondering if I do the will call, if there would be a chance I can pick it up tomorrow if it arrives then.

Highly doubt it for a few reasons, but UPS has an automated recording saying they've been instructed not to deliver early. So I think that might count for not to release for pick up either.

Mine is going to a UPS Store. Initially it changed the date to Monday and then after a few hours changed it back to Friday. The same thing has happened with other packages of mine. So I'm all set for my UPS store on Friday.

I just got a notification that the package left Harrisburg, PA today. It's shipped via UPS Next Day Air Saver (delivery by end of day) but it still shows delivery on 9/19 (it shipped today, 9/17). I'll try to chat with UPS and see if it will be at the local UPS Center tomorrow, then I'll hold for Will Call and see if I can stop by tomorrow afternoon and grab it early.

same thing... its traveling east for an hour so it should get to distro tonight... wonder if I can convince someone to release it tomorrow.

Adding to the echo of "same address, different name".

Spoke with UPS, since the orders are under my brother's name (his account), if I could go pick them up instead. Was told that as long as my ID had the same address and I could produce the tracking numbers, the packages would be released to me.

Just in case, I'm printing this page, which says that if the names don't match, the address + tracking number will do.

Just got mine held for will call. Will they have it available as soon as they open that day or do I have to wait for some sort of notification?

Drelldrell · Sep 17, 2014

Why is FedEx not allowing hold for will call?
