Good for you. My update says delivery "Before 7:00 PM". So, I get to waste my entire day waiting so as to not risk missing the delivery. Good grief.
Watching is so much fun! Watched the truck deliver to the building across from mine then drive right past me. Mine just says "before 7 p.m." but I"m working from home today.
Across the hwy, but a fairly densely populated area. But, still hard to believe 7:00 PM. LOL.
Yeah the anxiety levels when this happens. Drives right up ones road or block then drives away
Not just with phones, but any signature delivery, since we are locked down for the duration. I got places to go and things to do.
I tend to reserve my whole day as a home body during times like this. So that aspect of anxiety is removed. 😂
In store pickup removes the anxiety of waiting to catch the delivery before it gets stolen off your porch.
Doing this next time.
UPS has held me hostage today and still no sign of them. They always deliver by now. Torturous cause I can’t leave my apt. Going insane lol
And it just got worse. The UPS tracking map of the truck's location just disappeared... maybe too many iPhone 16ers online caused an overload ;-). So now I really have no idea when to be on alert.
Had to do that last year as the only option for obtaining a launch day phone.. It was an absolute nightmare, insanely un-organized and the apple employee screwed up my eSim activation until I literally did it myself with his device.
You must like going to movie theaters, too? Nope, not for me, at least on day zero where you get to drive miles, park in a crowded remote parking lot, then schlep into the store to share the experience with hundreds of "friends". Might make a little more sense for an in between cycle purchase.
I never use the so called “Geniuses” in the store. I just pick up my device at my scheduled time and leave.
Apple IUP. They wouldn't let me leave without giving my 14 pro back. The eSim transfer wasn't working. Had no choice.
That's my problem here, too. I am on the side of the HWY that makes for an easier right turn out of here at the end of the route through the neighborhood so I am pretty much last. 7:00PM is looking doubtful based on where I see the truck now, off into other 'hoods that are not even usually on this route. LOL.
