UPS requires signature upon delivery. Many people have M-F, 8-5 jobs. Therefore, you’d have to arrange some time off, and deliveries could be at any time of the day or night. It’s not about an extra six day wait, it’s about arranging schedules.
For me, this is the reason I changed to pickup on Sat 20th. My Apple Store is about 6 minutes away. For others, it can be hours away. Delivery for them is the most efficient way.
Ohhhhh, so you guys crash out over pre-orders and delivery dates here like we do over on the "other side". I love to see it. Let me grab my popcorn and wine to enjoy the show. This is my type of carrying on!
Arranging schedules? You can literally change the date of delivery…like you are doing.
Go re read the many posts. It has nothing to do with “arranging schedules”. We both know that.
According to my tracking my AirPod pro 3 is coming from Indiana.
I mistakenly ordered AppleCare One during my iPhone checkout, but it seems like it might be a fortuitous move. I have several devices that are on AppleCare+ and three of them add up to more than the $19.99 per month for AppleCare One.
First time I miss delivery day shipping since iPhone 5S. Managed to get a launch day pickup though but sucks I won’t get to track it with you guys this year.
Although I kind of regret not going for shipping still when it showed Sept 25 as it seems everyone got bumped to 19 :/

I bought the Orange iPhone Pro Max, 2TB. Looking at the iPhone Event, the iPhone really impresses as a video recorder. It’s so impressive that I wonder if it’s too much for me. I’ll have to go back to school to become a cinematographer. I also wonder how many iPhones I’d have to buy to simulate The Matrix video. Anybody here doing this sort of thing? Also, I don’t want to get a bunch of mud and stuff on my iPhone. This iPhone should last for years, but I’ll probably get the newer model next year. I always say I won’t do it, but I do.
For me the 'glitch' only shows up on my phone. I completed the pre-order on my iPad mini because it was the first to open up that morning and it doesn't show there. I only mention to show that every year there is an odd glitch of some kind. With hundreds of thousands of us trying to order at 8:00:0000000000001 am there are bound to be some weirdness 😆
I wanted to do the delivery dance because it's fun to come here and track flights with everyone but picking it up is actually easier. Lately I don't want to spend my entire day waiting for UPS to deliver at 5:17 pm or something. Since it's just a unit going to the store tho I won't be able to share in the excitement of the thread suddenly adding 10 pages of people getting UPS label alerts. Back in the day it was our Christmas for a week ☺️
I haven’t seen anyone else here with an October delivery date. I’m doing a carrier upgrade, and pickup is not available at my Apple Store. Would it do any good to email Tim Cook in my case?
How do you get tracking? UPS reference by phone number? Order number? I have my choice but I don’t have any packages yet.
I ordered the AirPods 4 in February and they shipped from Indiana, even with an engraving. Maybe those are staged here and then shipped rather than directly from China.
You need to wait until they are loaded onto the plane when your tracking will show up for delivery. ISPU will not show until it reaches the Apple store.
NOTE: Some carriers will use FedEx.
Apple store orders ship UPS International Express.
BTW: my Apple Magsafe battery and bumper case just got shipped via FED-EX and arriving Tuesday:
No email yet but in the Apple Store app it shows my blue 17 pro max will be delivered on the 19 moved up from the 25
Now this is beautiful:What a beautiful screenshot

I have totally bought into AppleCare One! My three most expensive devices' AppleCare previously was around $45/month. All additional devices are $5.99 each, which will make my new iPhone's AppleCare, which would have been $13.99 will now be only $5.99. Doesn't make sense with AirPods and Watches as they are all less than $5 already, but my MBP, iPad Pro, and Mac Studio all truly benefit significantly, as will the new iPhone!

No updates here yet on my 8:03am eastern 512 Orange Pro Max, still holding that Arrives 9/25… holding out hope it’ll move like a lot of yours
Still no update on my 8am 512 deep blue PM either. Worst case, I’ll get it when they attempt to redeliver on 9/26.
