Sorry to potentially burst everyone’s bubble, but it looks like there might be some internal hold that prevents delivery before 10/23. I have another unrelated package coming on 10/21 that I can reschedule in My Choice to deliver as early as 10/22, but the Apple package can only be rescheduled to deliver as early as 10/26 (10/22 and 10/23 are not provided as options).
Yeah this is how it is and always has been. Don’t apologize for speaking the truth.

Main issue for me is that I am trading in my launch day iPhone X for $800 credit on this new phone. Aka getting the 12 for like 2$ a month. That has to be through a preorder. So if I hold or cancel this actual phone headed to ny and just re order I basically lose $800

Always wonder how this works. We order approximate the same time (8:02am), we get the same delivery date on the 23rd, and many are getting there shipping information while others are not and only see Preparing to ship. I don’t have a clue as to why that is. Anyone?

I have a package coming from Amazon, delivery date Monday (tomorrow). I can only reschedule delivery past two days. So yeah, that means nothing. Not saying you are wrong but I wouldn’t base what’s going to happen on what rescheduling is allowed on UPS.

Yeah I bet. I wish I could. How r things out that way?
Still smoky on and off. The CZU fire has been contained, but the middle won't be fully out until the rains start.

We were evacuated for 9 days, but my area was kept safe due to the amazing efforts of all the firefighting teams. It did give me a different perspective on things. My stuff needs to be small and portable. Like iThings! ? Just got my Watch Series 6 Blue a bit ago. Now the blue iPhone...

I believe I put in the hold request a few days before pickup/delivery. It was definitely far enough in advance.
Yup, the UPS Customer Counter will hold for 5 business days.
Remember to make the hold request BEFORE it gets to the local customer counter location.
Once it's loaded on the delivery truck, it's too late and you will have to wait the next day.

I have a genuine question... if we aren’t getting the phones early (which no one knows yet really), why is every getting delivery dates of the 21st? Every other year delivery dates were always on release date. Period. I never had it show any different for me and for most others that preordered. Yeah there was sometimes that exception where one package would show a early delivery date.

This is going a lot better than my last tracking of a shipment out of China earlier this year. Masks last spring. They sat at the airport for 27 days before I cancelled the order and they went back to the shipper.
