Its better to change to "pickup in UPS store" or leave it to arrive at home?
I would not go to just any "UPS store", only the CC. I pick my phone up before 10am every year, the UPS truck is often after 4pm and i think even later the last launch day i had it come to my home.

I think the UPS stores might get the delivery at the same time as it'd come to my house, and might not actually be available until Monday- according to a conversation years ago now with the UPS phone line.

The UPS CC has it in their pickup office shortly after the trucks are driving out of the lot, so definitely the way to get the earliest custody of the phone.

YMMV, as they say. :😁:
 
My shipment won’t appear in My Choice :( Anyone have any ideas? I’ve made sure my address matches the one on the Apple Store app and everything.

Tracking by reference number works but UPS won’t give me any info other than the delivery date and that it’s on time.

Sadly UPS has been weird for some people this year, that is all the info you guys are getting. Tomorrow your Apple status will update with the full tracking number.
 
Has anyone requested to pickup from the UPS CC center? I have the $6 charge on my card but my tracking number still says its coming to my house. I’m planning on swinging by the CC on my way to work and using the clean room at my work to apply the screen protector :)
I have and same 6.00 pending charge as you and still says it will ship to my house. I think it takes time for it to go through according to others here. I am thinking it will confirm it when it moves to next tracking stage.

In all fairness, one year I did route it to UPS Store in my village. Got availability notice around noon, much earlier than the usual 4-6pm they would be in my neighborhood. Thanks to @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗 kind edification, switched to CC hold and now get it 10am, driving an extra half hour to get it. It was even better before they delayed customers to 10am. Ah, the old days were the best days.

I did it 24 hours ago to A CC location. Nothing has changed. I don’t even have a receipt just a paypal receipt. i read that it won’t update until it’s out for delivery and it will change to the new location

Do you have UPS My Choice? I think that gives you some options when and where the delivery is scheduled.

I've found it best to select such changes in my desktop web browser, not in UPS.app on my iPhone.

Very cool, I've never tried it as I often have travel that make a Monday pickup undoable, so I have never tried it. The phone agent scared me, and I'd seen the UPS truck at the local stores right before they close. I've found such a wide range of willingness to work with me at the stores that I just didn't want to chance it.

But that said, CC has always been awesome and rarely more than one person in "line" when I get there to pick up my held phone or other Apple product.
