So im in Sacramento, CA. If I have it delivered to the ups store down the street, what time do you think pickup would be? If I have it delivered to the Ups customer center, what time y'all think pickup would be? ty
 
SoCal might be broken up even smaller. My watch went from KY straight to San Diego for delivery.
I'm in San Diego. A week ago, my AW6 came came from Louisville on a UPS flight directly to SAN. I imagine it will be the same for my iPhone delivery tomorrow.


Interesting. If thats the case, this is your flight. Only SD I see scheduled for today: UPS2636

If it's delivered to a UPS store, it's usually not available until next business day. If its held at CC, you can pick it up usually at open.
 
Can you even pick up from Ontario? I think it needs to go to a local CC Hub first. I tried picking something up from Ontario years and years ago and they said I couldn't. I keep requesting for a hold at my local CC but the request never goes through.
I think Ontario is the local CC hub for some people.
 
Thanks for the replies. The CC opens at 2 and I cant make it by then. Leaving at 3 for a weekend trip. Ill get my phone Monday now. Thats a bummer (UPS delivers usually by 8:30 pm here)

I think it requires being transported to a hub offsite of the airport. When we see ONT scans, it's not leaving the airport. If its meant to stay in ONT then it will be offloaded and transported to the local hub in ONT.

True, makes sense. Only UPS can tell if "Ontario, CA" on a scan is the scan at the airport, or the scan at the CC.

Ugh dude. That sucks. I'm in the same boat. Won't be home during my scheduled delivery. *SIGH*

My case is being delivered today and it's almost here! Hoping when my phone gets delivered, it comes this early!

I was hoping for the same! My case did come 1 day early. If my phone could just come 1 day before the earliest scheduled date of 10/30/20 I'll actually be home to receive it. Good luck to you!

I don’t think hold request go through until the destination scan.
 
I went to an AT&T corporate store yesterday and they told me I would not need a new sim, because the sim-free comes activated on the eSim. I don't believe that though. I am planning on getting a new sim anyway. Did you have to pay for it? If I get the new sim now, do I need to activate it and put it in my XS Max or can I wait until I get my 12 Pro Max?
Yea, that doesn't seem right. It'll be e-sim compatible but not set up yet. I asked the same question about a new sim and one rep I spoke to told me that sim-free phones from Apple *always* come with sim cards in the box. Rather insistent about it too. 🙄

Usually I have it notated in the tracking history that it has been requested. it's just weird that there is no confirmation of it at all. I will try again once it lands in CA around 5pm.

Thanks!

It's been quite a roller coaster for me. I accidentally checked out with an old address, but had a 10/23 delivery date. I chatted with CS and they were able to change the address.. I showed 10/23 delivery up until a few days ago, when it slipped to 5-7 business days and "processing"... it's been like that since. :(
 
So I know there were some who wondered how the next iPhone upgrade will work since these phones came out in October vs September. I just received an email from Apple saying that my next upgrade is 9/18/21 so looks like that answers the question! We will be able to upgrade next September (provided the phones are back to normal scheduling) without needing to worry about payment schedules conflicting.

Great news! That’s one of the reasons I ordered the pro instead of the pro max, aside from the obvious reason of not wanting to wait three extra weeks. If the new phone it comes out next September, we should save one monthly payment.

Yeah, I've been picking up at Ontario CC every year since the Iphone 6 Plus. The CC is on Jurupa (3480 E Jurupa St, Ontario, CA 91761) to be exact.

That kind of makes sense as that is when the 12th payment will come out. So you essentially lose the value of the 12th payment because you won't be keeping the phone for the entire month, but you will at least be able to upgrade on time.

There's a good chance that it'll be delayed until Monday if you select the UPS Store (unless the driver that services your house also services that store on the same day, but it's risky: I'd still rather drive to the Customer Center). At the Customer Center, it'll be available for pickup when the doors open Friday. Mine opens at 8:30 am, and there's always about 10 people lined up outside before opening on iPhone launch day.
