Are you going to order the new iPhone 14?

I have it. Also have done the Annual Clearing of Unused Apps on my 13 Pro, so they won't get restored to the phone. Installed the new IOS. Have a new Forest Green leather case ready for the silver. Cleared my calendar on Friday. Once my wandering 14 arrives, I can begin obsessing over the arrival of my Ultra.
I really want the Ultra but I'm not sure I'd use it all that much. I have a cycling computer that handles everything I need and my Apple Watch is only for notifications on the bike. Otherwise I don't do any other activities that need it o_O
 
Damn, that sucks man. I thought about it long and hard this morning and decided to just not do it this year. I'll wait for the truck by my window.
I'm jealous lol. I would be fine waiting at home if I could, but I have to work in office on delivery day.

I’m sorry for the hassle. I would suggest paying for the premium upgraded membership via for UPS MyChoice account. It is $19.99. Once it’s paid, your account will be upgraded. Using a desktop computer request a pickup. No Fee. It’s free now. Make sure you pick the right one. Pick up date shows 9/16/2022.

On Monday call UPS back and have them cancel the membership and request the money back. They will refund it to you.

This trick is not for everyone. I don’t want UPS coming after me. So, please don’t abuse it. I have good relations with Apple but not UPS.

Thank you so much for the recommendation and help. I super appreciate it!
 
Customs clearance does not require being in Louisville. Shipments like this very often will clear long before product arrives stateside and will directly enter the domestic package stream without being held in an FTZ at Worldport.

The "Import Scan" at SDF has always been the trigger for Apple changing shipment status to "Shipped". For years.
 
It is scheduled to depart for China soon.
Awyeahhhh! thanks

See this post, please.


The reason why it's not showing and looking funny because it's an internal strategic planning.

I'm mostly just procrastinating doing real work... but how epic would it be to create a website to follow the process in a more effective manner? This is just a quick and dirty concept.

For real though if it was popular enough we could aggregate some cool data.
 
Hate to say it but I’ve had really bad luck ordering from AT&T. They overpromise and underdeliver in my experience. I only order from Apple now
Only go with Apple.com. No carrier can take Apple's place. I stopped ordering from carriers a long time ago. Decades ago. Never turned back
 
I've made this post about 75 times in the last few days.....Apple won't change your order to Shipped until it clears customs in Louisville. Until then, sign up for UPS MyChoice, and if your address matches the address on the package, the tracking will pop in.
Hey @SisterBlue22 - mine still says preparing for shipment.

*snort snort snicker*

(Seriously though, sorry! Now I know - I’ll remember this in the future. :) )

What you’re suggesting here is fraud, even if UPS will let you do it.

You can cancel your membership whenever you want. But UPS is playing games and asking for a $5.99 fee. It used to be free. That’s the real fraud they are playing with the consumers. Just trying to help you guys out. Billion-dollar corporations charging customers to pick up the package? What??? FedEx doesn’t do that, and DHL doesn’t do that either.

You are not obligated to keep your UPS premium membership if u don’t want too. Otherwise, keep it. Don't cancel it. Just a suggestion and trying to have y'all save some money. That’s all.

Att was the place for me during the first iPhones only because of the waiting line early morning experience. As I upgraded every year, ordering from Apple directly has been nothing short of a perfect experience. No way I’d go back.
