Are you going to order the new iPhone 14?

I've never had an issue tracking the truck on launch day (though the last time I did was maybe 4-5 years ago) but seeing all the bad luck I've had with UPS this past week, I'm not getting my hopes up
I havenā€™t had much issue either, hope it the same this time around because this will be the first time Iā€™m not home on delivery day (yes there have been quite a few years where I took off work to be home for the delivery lol).
Iā€™m sorry about the issues youā€™ve had with UPS lately, sending positive vibes your way!

I've done the CC hold several times before and it was always available on delivery day (in the morning). Weird tangent on this topic: I called UPS to confirm that my hold for pickup is in place, and the customer service guy said it is, with pickup between 2-4 pm! (The CC opens at 8 a.m.) I'm pretty sure he was conflating my 2-hour delivery window for home delivery with the CC pick-up time. If it's really 2-4, I should have just let the driver bring it to me.
UPS can be funny sometimes. LOLL

Many hubs have very limited pick up times due to staffing. The CC may be open normal business hours, but pick up times are often limited to one or two time windows a day.

I did too! You may have but you're not getting your iPhone a day before tho. Definitely not on tonight's flight. If you do... I will send you a free iPhone 14 Pro Max 1Tb (choice of your color) LOL

LMAO!!! No not expecting it early at all. Just used to the clearance coming on Thursday. So maybe the clearance will happen tonight for this second wave arriving into Louisville.

i search around to see where I can get the most money whether it be selling it for cash on ebay or through a website that will recondition it and then go and resell it. This year I am selling it to Decluttr which last month I locked in a value price much higher than they are offering now. The price I have locked in seems to be beating what the phones are selling for on ebay.
Please let us know how Decluttr experience turns out. I saw that a couple weeks ago but had never used it before.

Agree with you...If/When you get the confirmation e-mail from UPS it's ready for pickup, you should be at the CC at "rope Drop" and able to get your Phone. To the other part (2-4), maybe yes / maybe no as they will have a bunch more deliveries than normal because of iPhone, so I would expect all routes are a little behind their normal schedules on Friday. (My speculation)

When I was working I would take off delivery day every year! I wouldn't tell my boss what for but they knew me too well so they would guess that's what it was for lol. Thank you, they actually charged me for a pick up hold which isn't reflecting on my tracking so I have to call them AGAIN today, so the positive vibes are much appreciated!

Same exact way. People always thought I'm weird not working on an iPhone launch day. No way! I need a day off to spend time with my new iPhone.

I used to do store pickup, and would literally write "iPhone day" in the notes that my boss saw when approving my day off. :)

Ha, that's funny because I always call launch day "iPhone day", I always wished my mom or husband a happy iPhone day if they preordered that year šŸ˜„ it should be an actual holiday at this point lol
 
After import scan TOMORROW my iphone will get on a trailer and depart around lunch time :)
Nice! Depending on the flight. I think the UPS plane takes off to LAS VEGAS at around 4:30PST.

Another UPS Plane takes off at 12 AM. Curious to see If I will be on a red-eye flight and be the last one to leave Louisville, Kentucky.
