Are you going to order the new iPhone 14?

Oh no you can’t leave us to investigate ourselves
By the time @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗 is back, we will all have paid UPS to change delivery way before Alaska and also convinced ourselves that now US Postal Service is delivering our iPhones to Antarctica!

Yeah it’s showing up at $5.99 for me. I’m going to wait until it hit the US and see if it changes. If it don’t then I’ll pay the $5.99. It’s convenient to get it early.
No it won't change. The UPS folks are pushing people to sign up for premium my choice membership. I think they will ask for $5.99 for every package they hold at UPS CC. So if I am picking up 2 iPhones this Friday and then Ultra next week I think it adds up to $18 anyways.

Is that a true assumption that its 5.99 per package ?
 
I was there too that week...actually on 09/07...had a work dinner in Chinatown. Growing up there, was so used to seeing that same skyline for years. It was hard to go back for the first time 4 months later and it not looking the same. Took me another couple of years before I could even go downtown to the site.
It must be strange and weird seeing the 2 buildings don’t exist anymore wonder how long it took people to get used to that. Definitely felt empty.
 
That's the exact scenario that I was facing this morning... do you have the UPS app? Open it (or get it and log in) and the details should show up on the TRACK tab.
Thanks, I followed your steps. But, TRACK tab is not yet refreshed for me. I guess, need to wait some more time. May be 'batch process' is still running !
 
@julit0 with his prestige boss status. I'm poor and don't have the money to pay for My Choice account.
You? Poor?! 😆 Miss 2x 1TB 14PMs, etc. (IYKYK).

You were the one passing out free codes last year for My Choice and I think I got in when you sent out $10 off coupon codes...that's why it's in October expiration for me. I think it was the AW7 launch time.

Yes, and it’s $5.99 for UPS store hold too. I used to get tired of paying for it so I got the premium instead.
 
It all depends too. I've had Apple package on launch day diverted to local UPS Store and I was able to pick it up on the same day. But of course UPS CC is the most better option.

I just requested a UPS CC hold for mine and mine was free. Of course I do have the premium membership for the UPS MyChoice. :)

I was told if I were to ever divert a package to the UPS store, to make sure it was the one that my delivery driver would drive to when he pick up the packages from that UPS store to take back to the CC. I figured that out by having a package held at that store and then drove over to talk to the driver to see if my house was on his route, which it was.

Especially when that was the main point to get into the city from NJ when taking the PATH train...if heading downtown.

Can't count how many times I came up from the escalators and walked out to the plaza there. Used to alway think of it where King Kong landed when he fell in the later version of the movie. Hah.
 
Yes, and it’s $5.99 for UPS store hold too. I used to get tired of paying for it so I got the premium instead.
I would consider signing up for the premium membership anyways it will be additional 2 $ on what I would need to pay for 3 package pickups.
 
This is where I was within 2 hours of the attacks 21 years ago...On the Ballistic Missile Submarine, USS ALABAMA (SSBN 731). We put to sea as it was the safest place for our SSBN and our missiles to be. We all barely had a minute to call home and tell our families that we wouldn’t be home that night and didn’t know when we were coming back. Lest we forget!

Weird, I had to go into the actual tracking number (not just on the UPS Choice dashboard and Shipment Details) to see everything:

Thank you for your service!
 
Yes.

We're at 326 (still catching up, keep getting interrupted, lol) with 5 more days to go.

And we have 9/23 and into October deliveries. The thread will go for a while.
Makes sense! Forgot about the iPhone Plus. Wonderful! Thank you! We will also use this thread until iPhone 15 Pre-order thread goes up live on September 2023. We’re not stopping over here. We are all a big part of the family now.

Thanks to everyone here.
 
You can seriously die a happy woman and never see Queens.
I just went to Queens to see the US Open. I love tennis. Also, there's some really great food in Queens. Don't write Queens off! I might be biased because I grew up 5 minutes away from Queens and have been going there since I was a kid. 😅
 
Folk's I'm sorry to break this news to you.

If you have not been assigned with a tracking number. No tracking number what so ever. Not even a hidden one. Chances are your iPhone won't make it through the promised Pre-Ordered Launch date, September 16th. Unless, someone is left behind and was promised a launch date, Apple will make it right and expedite the traveling matter.
I was having my iPhone shipped out to where I was staying in Colorado for the weekend, but since it now seems that I’m not going to get the phone on launch day, I went ahead and edited the shipping address for the order now to my home address.

The delivery dates moved up to September 27-30…

Logistics: always a surprise!
