Are you going to order the new iPhone 14?

Please let us know how Decluttr experience turns out. I saw that a couple weeks ago but had never used it before.
I’ve used Decluttr many times and it’s always been a great experience. As long as you are honest with choosing the appropriate condition of the device they’ve always paid me what I was quoted, usually the same day they received it.
 
Lmao where are all those folks that kept insisting the USPS would do it. I want to see their faces as @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗 has been vindicated
Honestly, If Apple had decided to send me my iPhone via USPS Postal Service. You bet I'm calling Apple and telling them to send it to me via UPS/FEDEX Even DHL. Nothing against Post Office, I love them. But, please do not deliver or mail my iPhone. No!
 
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.
Omg same, my coworkers would poke fun at me since no one else cared to preorder, so they just don't understand the excitement! The week of tracking builds up so much anticipation. I also call it my first Christmas every year because it feels like it!

I witness Karma...

When I worked for the Police department.. I took a day off last year to Pre-Order my iPhone. My coworker was making fun of me and told me I'm crazy. I was like, ok cool. LOL We'll see. I even told her to pre-order the iPhone. She didn't listen and kept laughing at me. Long story short, I got my iPhone launch date delivery and she had to wait 2 months to get her iPhone. Didn't get it until November She was livid!!!!
 
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)
At the least it seems confirmed I can pick it up. They charged me the stupid $7.99, gave me the right address, told me I'd need tracking number/government ID, etc. Just hoping I don't have to wait til mid-afternoon. First-first world problems, I know!
 
So this is really weird. My iPhone 14 Pro Max (Purple 128GB) origina showed that 9/23 date and the ‘postal service‘ bur when I checked tracking on UPS the 9/16 date is confirmed. However I also ordered a red Iphone 14 for someone else which was supposed to come originally on 9/16 but there’s zero tracking info on that. Could they’ve gotten it screwed up and the iPhone 14 is coming this friday and I’ll have to wait in the pro max until the 23rd? The only reason I doubt is because I tracked by order number not by phone number but it still seems odd that’s there’s nothing for the regular 14 which is scheduled to come Friday.
If the red iPhone 14 isn't showing up even with UPS reference tracking (which is the case for a few of us that are part of the "in limbo" group), best to keep an eye on this thread on Thursday when UPS begins sorting/scanning for distribution to regional hubs. We'll know that once people here begin seeing their notifications lighting up/additional tracking details populated, Apple Store status updated to shipping (and credit card charges go through from pending); if our phones are still not showing up in UPS' system after that, this is when I'll begin the process of following up with Apple.
UPS Mychoice still not showing my wife's phone. Added her yesterday to my account through preferences, but nothing. Stinks. Changed mine to be held but cannot do anything with hers.
Same boat ("in limbo") with nothing still showing up in UPS' system which makes it difficult to make any delivery changes or if a specific region allows pre-signing, to perform that (pre-signing: Apple seems to leave that up to UPS discretion at the local level).

As I mentioned above, if her phone doesn't show up in UPS' system once you see a lot of others here getting notifications on Thursday, that is probably when you may want to begin the process of checking with Apple.

Knowing my luck, my UPS driver will ring through at 7:16pm. It’s a very rare occasion that UPS will come through before 2pm. 🥺
Sounds exactly like the poor driver who runs my route, too. I have a friend who delivers for UPS, he asked for vacation several months ago, for this week, not realizing this was iPhone week. I asked him if he’s happy he isn’t working iPhone day. He said something to the effect of “I got lucky without even realizing it. So many signatures. So many pissed off people wanting their iPhone right NOW.”
 
Arrival to Kentucky might not happen until Tomorrow at least that’s how I remember it last year.
Expect "Arrival to Facility" Scans to hit sometime today. Scans are also delayed for our flight. We witnessed this yesterday from Korea to Anchorage, Alaska, and from Anchorage Alaska to Lousiville, Kentucky. They will appear today.
 
I’m part of the #4digitcrew as well. What time should we expect to see the full tracking number? I’m on PST.
In the morning. Possibly early morning. Apple will be sending out notifications that your iPhone has been shipped and you can track it. Don't forget to let us know if you were part of wave 1 or wave 2.

9/10 wave 1 origin scan
9/11 wave 2 origin scan

Best wishes and Good luck!
