Anyone have any recommendations for a good mag safe combo charger for the iPhone and watch? Seen so many on Amazon and looked at many of the reviews. Interested if anyone here has any recommendations

I'm so frustrated. I called UPS. First, they tried to charge me, $7.99 instead of $5.99, to get my package held at the CC. Then, I tried to reason with them to let me do it for free (I've done it for free before, they are saving gas by not delivering it to my house), and the agent had some response that I didn't even fully understand, but it sounded something like Apple needed to give permission or be charged or something for me to get it for free. The second time I called, they said that the package is restricted by Apple, and I have to call Apple to get it held at the CC.

I did ask the second time which CC the package will be distributed from (since I have multiple in my area). I could pay to have it held at this location online, but considering the conflicting information they're giving me, I'm hesitant to pay $6 to have it held for pickup if it's not even the right location and it causes me to not even get my phone on launch day or maybe until Monday.

It's stuff like this that makes me not even want to deal with the headache of upgrading every year. First, Apple in-store pickup wouldn't work due to a buggy app. Then, I find out UPS doesn't have a simple, easy, free way to just hold at the CC like they did in the past. Now, I wasted an hour, I'm going to pay UPS $6 to hold my package for me at the place it'll already be at and so that they save gas, while having no reassurance that my package will actually be available for pickup on delivery day. 😐

They want $6 to send someone into the warehouse and dig through the packages to find one small one on a truck. Where they did this before as a customer service, they now want to be paid for the deviation in process. Apple is the main issue here with the ultra restrictive delivery criteria. I dont even think you can pick up the second day. They have to delivery to the residence. Stupid Apple.

Yes I’ve had a mychoice account for a while now. I’m sure everything is fine, just odd, never happened in the past.

I have the free MyChoice one, not the Premium...my address and info is in there, looks exactly the same as what Apple has but tracking never came up automatically.

As anyone heard of parcel it’s a delivery tracker as well and it can be added to your Lock Screen if your on iOS 16 😁

I used the Deliveries for years and LOVED it. Lately FedEX blocked access to it and I think more carriers are moving that direction to force you into using their app. I saw Parcel recently to and wondered what they are doing that Deliveries isn't.

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.

I pay the $19.99 for a year to have all UPS Innovations deliveries upgraded. Well worth it.

Has anyone with store pick up had any updates on the “null” status? Just left the Apple Store and they were clueless and said they never saw that before…told me to contact support. Support assured me it’s still good for the 16th…

Hahahaha, very funny! Let me guess-next questions are "How did I get from China to Louisville" "How do you find your tracking number?" "Can you tell me what wave I am?" "Will I get my iPhone early?" 😂

This year's bonus questions revolve around UPS only showing last 4 in MyChoice.

The answers to all are somewhere between the first post and the last post!!! 🤣😫🤦‍♀️

Dammit...NOW what questions do I ask? *throws hands in air*

Seriously though, I'd never taken the time to ask these questions previously, I suppose. LOL

The heck of it is that in the end it probably won't matter, because if I can waltz into the local T-Mobile store this Friday/Saturday and pick up a 14 Pro...I'll likely just return the 14. LOL

It seems that a UPS 748 (N622UP) has departed ZHCC, so a fair amount of people will see a departure scan soon, but I suspect the same thing will happen tomorrow for the next batch.

I have two iPhone 14 Pro Maxes in ZZ and neither has moved since 9/11 at 2150 and no departure scan yet so it's either a delayed scan (quite possible), but it's also just Tuesday. I imagine there will be at least one more of these flights tomorrow.

Next year?

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.

Woah!! My photo made it 😄. This is an awesome concept!

After 2 days of frustration I have finally found my iPhone that is supposed to be delivered on 9/16. It is sitting in ZhengZhou, CN. And it’s been sitting there since 9:50 PM on 9/11/2022.

I believe the reason I couldn’t see it earlier is because it is part of a 2 part shipment. The first part was the iPhone MagSafe case, which I received a little over an hour ago. Apparently you can’t see the second part of the shipment until the first is marked as delivered. I tried to use my UPS My Choice app, but UPS had changed my password and wouldn’t send me the PIN number to reset the password. I finally accidentally found another way to do it without the PIN number, and can now use the app. I plan to change my delivery so I pick it up at the UPS office early Friday morning so I don’t have to sit around waiting for them to come.
