This doesn’t make since. I’ve called the past to have my phone be picked up at the warehouse and I’ve gotten every launch day. Never had to wait more days. Did he request to pick it off and somewhere else?

I didn't know there was a difference between warehouse and a UPS store.

I saw my delivery was going to be to my home. Realizing someone may not be there, I thought to route he package to the store RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET from my house. When I selected to take the action, it showed my new shipping date as 9/25. Had I known this would slip the date, with such a small location change, I would have tried to be at home for delivery.

I see Why from a logistics sense it may result in a delay. UPS does not give me the option to revert back on the app or via MyChoice. Both still say 9/22 EOD but I don't know the reality until tomorrow maybe.

So my next action is to call first thing AM and revert back to the way things were...

Ok I see. In the past I just have it held for pick up and usually get to the warehouse as it opens and pick it up. So yea the issue is that it’s being re routed. Hope they can get it to you Friday

Makes sense. Warehouse is a haul for me but maybe that will be a possibility. I can't find what warehouse it would be at in RIALTO CA. Hope the call works...

UPS app (with my choice) is letting me change the delivery location despite the fact that I already chose the CC. What does it do when you click on your requested change under delivery change?

In my experience, if you request it to be held at the hub, you often can get it the same day that it was originally promised. However, if you have it sent to a local UPS store, it often takes an additional business day. Not always, but often.

Also, I should have been more clear in my previous comments... the difference appears to be "held" vs "sent to a UPS storefront".

Website shows the pic. Both app and website show what the app screenshot says. In the app, I can change location but only to a UPS location (no longer back home)

Crazy how I still don't have any tracking from reference number or anything. Last year I got the shipping email from Apple at like 5am so maybe I will see it later today.

I said it a few pages ago, normally when you change it to UPS Store, you loose one business day.

^ This. Because you’re effectively getting it rerouted, even though it’s going to a UPS center. They may be able to still cancel it though.

No they are wrong. You will get it on 9/22. I’ve done this plenty of times. If you track it it will say 9/22. You’ll be fine. I changed the delivery as well and it changed to 25th. After a few minutes it changed back to 22nd.

You may have gotten lucky and this person may as well, but it often adds a day when you reroute it to the store.

I'd recommend changing to your local CC at least for now so you'll for sure be able to get it on Friday just in case UPS isn't able to help you get it back to shipping to your house

No it doesn’t. As long as you give it 24hrs or so you’ll be fine. I’ve done it a million times with other shipments. The store is a block from my house. Same driver too.

On the MyUPS site I have two reference numbers. One is my phone number. The other isn't even remotely close to my order #.

It's strange... I see it on my AppleTV order, but not on the iPhone... perhaps because there's not tracking info yet, just "shipping label created"... not sure what the deal is.
 
I just checked my ups again and I have a 2nd tracking number from Tennessee next day air. So that answers my own question from earlier. I guess the watch is coming from China and the phone comes from Tennessee. Ahh relief - but Apple still says preparing
 
Am I able to pre-order the iPhone X thorough Apple with at&t next every year plan? Since I have to trade the phone back to at&t do I have to pre-order through their site?
 
Same boat as everyone else. Apple says "Preparing to ship", but myUPS says my iPhone is in KY as of 20th morning. Started in China on the 17th, arrived at and left Anchorage on 19th. Pretty much same as happened with my iPhone 6 and launch day.

As for the reference numbers, about only thing that will make sense is one's phone number, everything else seems to be internal tracking and or partner trackers. Can make educated guess via weight field what is in what package.

ADD: Status in Apple Store flipped to "Shipped" and has tracker info.
