Well I’ll be forced to pick mine up from UPS this year. Apparently AT&T somehow fused my work street (shipping address) with my Home city and state- I’m in the DC metro area so they are different states and would cause the package to be delayed further so I asked for them to hold it. Caught it too late and phone was already preparing to ship at that time. Hopefully it’s a painless pickup process.
So I can pick it up as soon as the hub opens. Keep in mind it has to be the hub it's going to originally for distribution, not a UPS location like a store or pharmacy, that can take an extra day.
Once you go to your tracking page and you select a delivery change and pick up at a UPS location, it will be the very first option.
Notice how the hub is further from me but it is still the first option because it's the main hub for distribution.
So there’s absolutely no additional delay for a CC? BC if there is I’m screwed BC they are closed Saturday and Sunday
Not in my experience. I have done this for the last few iPhone releases and was able to pick them up by 10 AM.
That's what I'm doing this go around (and I've changed it to be this way for all my packages). I used to have my Apple items sit at the local hub but the hours are inconvenient (they don't even open until 2 in the afternoon or so) and they are kind of out of the way. My local UPS store is less than 5 minutes from my house and is open from 9am to 7pm. My things generally arrive before noon and I can scoot out on my lunch break and get them.
Interesting; that isn't what I'd heard.

Second time I read that. But I have it set up for all my packages to go to the UPS store--so it doesn't make sense that it would add a day. It's where ALL my stuff goes.
I also have everything send to my local UPS Store, personally I pay for a mailbox. In these situations you never have to worry about being at home to receive packages. I think the longest time they held a package for me was like three months. Every year for the iPhone (or the AirPods, Mac, etc.), I just deliver it to my box and when I get home that day I can head over and pick up all the packages. They accept UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL, Amazon... it's great.
If you request a pick up at UPS CC, this will not cause any delays whatsoever. If you, however, redirect to the nearest UPS Store, this can cause day and won't likely to pick it up till Monday (<--I never had issues with redirecting the package to the UPS Store and I was able to pick it up on the same day with no delays).
Yes. UPS uses the day that they were going to deliver it to you to deliver it to the store. And then you get it the next day that they’re open. So that’s one business day later that just dropping it at your home/office.
Just make sure your ID matches the carrier’s account holder name. They don’t give two rats about matching last names/address when picking up at CC. There is a special designation on these packages to only be released to the person on the label. Happened with my 7... forgot we’d put the account under my wife’s name when we switched from ATT to VZW. I’d done the hold for the 6 and 6s no problem. But the UPS lady would not release it this time.
I put both my orders on hold at my local UPS CC, both say they will be available by 8am 11/3. I guess we will see if that holds true.
I'd like to know what UPS has to say when you call them. I was wondering about any delays when selecting that method as well.
Whatever, dude. I pick mine up at a Customer Center every year: I’m familiar with them. I was just trying to help. Do whatever you think is best.

I do it all the time. With no guarantee drop off time and me having to run errands and pick my two kids up from school at different times, I don’t have to worry about missing the delivery
