UPS hold?
Anybody know how long UPS will hold a package? I am leaving town tomorrow (Sunday) and won't return until Thursday afternoon. I'm still on processing, so it may not make any difference, but just in case.
And YES, I know about MyUPS, but they are sending me a code by snail mail, so I can't use their service until I return.

You can sign up for MyUPS for free online right away, which is what I'd recommend doing.
Then, assuming your package was ordered with the same address you put in MyUPS, it will populate automatically.
YES, both UPS & FedEx have options that you can request a vacation hold and either have all your packages held for pickup automatically or delivered on a date of your choosing.
Regardless, since it requires a signature they will try to deliver 3 times and then you have like 5 or 7 days to pick it up before being sent back to Apple. You should be fine.
Crazy that we are talking about apple orders in a matter of seconds.
On a positive note I ordered an extra charging cable last night and got a shipping notification this afternoon.
I did the same just to ensure my apple pay was working. LOL same thing, ordered last night and shipped this AM.

No one in the US i think for 42SSBSB
Apple is either shipping/manufacturing this model VERY slow, or they sold a TON of them in the first few minutes of preorder. I'm not quite sure which one yet.
I just checked on bands thinking about the Loop. The BSB is shipping with May delivery. I didn't purchase. Thoughts?

I'm beginning to think they sold a ton in the first few minutes. That might have caught them by surprise even though the Favorites should have been an indication.
Maybe I wasn't clear
I can't do it online because I couldn't sign up instantly online. They asked some obscure security questions that I did not have the info for, so they are sending me the code by US MAIL. I will be gone when it gets here. My understanding is that you have to be signed up and pay a fee to UPS to get a hold or forward. I know FedEx doesn't require that, I've done it with them before. But all my iPhones have come thru UPS.
So again...DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW LONG UPS WILL AUTOMATICALLY HOLD A PACKAGE WHEN NOONE IS HOME FOR IT, BEFORE THEY RETURN IT TO APPLE???

That's ridiculous. Apple has $100 billion dollars earning 1% interest per year. They just wanted to get it out as quickly as possible without spending extra money on excess production capacity that they would not need later on.
As soon as they attempt delivery you can call them and ask them to hold it. Not sure how many days they'll do it.
Start a forward of your confirmation email and you will see it in the header of the email being forwarded.
I couldn't take it any more.
I bought a Sport watch from a scalper on eBay and picked it up this morning.
I feel dirty and angry, but at least I no longer feel left out.
This watch goes to my wife once the SS BSB arrives...which now I can at least check on my wrist.

Not me, I much prefer waiting with a firm date than waiting with no idea when it will ship.

Your question was answered right away so maybe brush up on your reading comprehension before getting mad.
At 12:36pm CDT status changed to "Shipped: Delivers Apr 27" via UPS.
