The warning I got (this was a number of years ago) when I clicked on the local neighborhood UPS Store made it sound like it might be Monday before I could actually get the iPhone was enough to put me off that choice! It is possible it'd work, but it was not worth the risk when the UPS CC is just down the road and there's never been any delay, or lines, when I picked up the phone there.

Yes that will be my option if I can’t pick a 2 hour window for delivery. I’ve had my previous iPhones held at the hub a few times in the past with 0 issues.
 
Just got off the phone with UPS, since I did change it to the nearest UPS location. Representative was certain that since the package hasn't even been in the state I am in, once it reaches the facility to be distributed again, the new address will be updated.
 
Q: I remember the CDMA/GSM days.. figure some nerd in here will know, saving me some research time!? :)

In case I move to EU from US on Nov 3rd or Jan 20th.. will I need a new iPhone or just change a new sim? 5G bands, networks, and all that jazz, yada yada yada
 
My apple tracker said 10/23. And it said it hasn't shipped yet.

Ups said it has shipped with delivery of 10/22

UPS is refusing to give a refund because the idiot thinks my package was delivered.
Mine never posted, and likely never will since it wasn’t delivered on Wednesday. 2923C73B-E095-44A8-A6CF-FF31492E695F.jpeg

UPS has the WORST phone system.

You have to track the package, say your tracking number, listen to the system tell you how his is the most up to date info, then tell it yes, you still want to speak to someone.

If you try to bypass this, it will hang up on you.

My understanding is that there are 4 versions: US, China, Canada/Japan, and all others. The US version is designed mainly for US carriers, but will generally operate with LTE and 5G elsewhere. CDMA is in the US and China versions. The "all others" version is most universal when it comes to LTE and 5G bands.

Edit: I stand corrected; there's one more for Japan.

I also called UPS. The guy was kinda rude but he said I'll have to wait for the confirmation that it'll be held at the CC.

I called their number, pressed 0, and then it asked for a reason to speak with an agent. I went with option '2' (shipping I think) and it got me to an agent without any wait.

Your card may have been charged, sure, but did the charge actually process and post or is it still pending? If it’s pending, it will likely drop off and the pending charge will be released back into your account automatically within a few days.
If it posted, yeah, ask for a refund.
 
Can't wait to see the pics shortly.

Well, (im)patiently waiting 356 hours....wait, 355 hr, 20 seconds from now to preorder 12 Pro Max.
**Hmm, 356 really doesn't feel THAT long, but yet it will drag on and on...LOL.
2 more weeks!!! we just have to get through next week and after that it'll be pre-order week. It's right around the corner.
 
Your Apple.com tracker DEFINITELY did not say Oct 21st delivery.

about 3 days ago i got an email from UPS for one of my iphone12 orders and it did say it was going to be delivered 10/21. apple.com / the apple store app never said anything about anything being shipped. the tracking number UPS sent was correct though, and this morning i've gotten a bunch of emails saying the same tracking number is set for delivery 10/23.
 
The iPhone is released on the 23rd. What make you think your going to get it anytime before that regardless of what UPS says? No one is getting it or should get it before the 23rd.

I think he already know he won’t be getting his device early. What he’s trying to do is see if UPS will honor the time slot he paid for on the 19th to reflect for tomorrow the 23rd, since he won’t be home and he paid for that service. @nateatlarge
