Other USA Apple.com iPhone Air /17/17 Pro/ 17 Max/ Pre-Release, Order And Delivery Thread

If anyone else is having an issue with MyChoice not showing your package, despite you having a tracking number, try changing your address to match the one used for the package, right down to the capital letters. MyChoice wouldn't let me authorize a release because my "address doesn't match." It was the same address, but Apple used all caps for some reason. After changing my address to all caps in the MyChoice settings, the package shows and I was able to authorize release.

What’s kind of funny is my UPS shipping facility is in a different county

Keep in mind, it will add a day or possible until Monday if you initiate a hold at a UPS store or access point

UPS has my package in Ontario, CA. Excited for tomorrow’s delivery!

 

[Selfdestrukt]

I swear this is one the more fun times of a new product. The wait. The progress. The delays. The update.

The return address has no connection to where it will ship from. All Apple orders will ship from WorldPort in KY.

apparently only true for the iphone; my watch is shipping from southern california. the phone is indeed coming from ky. i may only have had a tracking number for the watch when i posted, can’t remember.

EDIT: i got mixed up while looking at this on my phone at 3am. the phone is shipping out of ontario and has a rialto return address; the watch is shipping out of kentucky and has an indiana return address. so it looks like apple/UPS has spread them all over the country rather than everything going thru kentucky.

Tap on your account icon and go to my orders, just doesn’t show up in the recent activity spot anymore

Thank You

I’ve been trying to change it too maybe you can’t do it until tomorrow as apple says click link to schedule pickup

Unfortunately, Customer Care Center pickups on launch day are no longer an option. I think it was stopped last year. 😭

 

[texasturner]

I have tracking for both my watch and iPhone now . Coming from Louisville

Ineligible Options​

Hold at a UPS Location​

Looks like holding at UPS location is not an option right now… will it always be like this?

 

[nikhsub1]

Mine is coming from Ontario as well. Showed up in ups sometime last night.

Have tracking info now. Has anyone successfully requested a hold at a UPS customer care center? Looks like I can't do it yet but I've done that for 8am pickup for several launch day phones over the last 10 years or so.

This change is part of why I'm doing ISPU tomorrow. I loved my ritual of going to CCC to get my phone. Nice quiet drive and no line at CCC. Friendly service by the staff, some knew it was an iPhone, some did not. lol

I'd open the shipping box but not the phone box while in the CCC parking lot. I'd photograph the box and send messages to my friends who had yet to have UPS come to their homes. Then off to the Apple Store for a quick visit on my way home just to see what was going on there. Then to home to set up the new devices.

It was a lovely stressless pace. And 6 hours later my phone would be set up and I'd be taking photos as the UPS truck would drive by delivering iPhones to other folks on the street.

Tomorrow I'll be at the Apple Store well before the UPS truck will drive through my neighborhood.

Good luck and have fun, everyone!

For residents of Florida, the package is expected to arrive in Orlando at approximately 6 PM.

Two phones in possession of UPS in Ontario going to Denver. Neither indicate “signature required”. Does this mean it’s up to the discretion of the driver?

 

[i505]

My 17 Pro has shipped!

 

[sean02]

Has anybody been able to at least get a 2 hour guaranteed window option

I was wondering about this as well. I don’t see the option on either my watch or phone.

Anyone else with a 19 SEP delivery date still in "preparing to ship" with no inbound shipments in MyChoice? I am in Boston.

 

[Bill813]

Are the phones coming from Carlisle PA from sender Ai?!???!

Yes. Mine says UPS has the package.

My UPS CC was small and on launch days, the line would be out the door with people milling about lol. I had a good rapport with the UPS CC workers, as I do all my outbound shipping and was there multiple times during the week. Now for my outbound packages, I have to drive a small distance to the UPS store and roll the dice that my outbound do not get rummaged thru or stolen (see the YouTube videos about the UPS Store and the 10k Leica or the rare guitar). Now I have to stand by until 6:59pm on launch day lol.

Yeah I guess those big distribution warehouses Apple has just dont get used for products /s

Does the Apple Store make a big deal if you're 30-60 minutes early for your appointment?

A friend who works at the Apple Store says they will usually ask you to come back at his store if you're considerably early, but I don't know if that's policy at all stores.
