I have 2 pickups - one at 9am and one at 10:15am. Interestingly the 10:15 changed to "ready for pickup" in the last hour or so but the 9am is still "Order in Progress". The 10:15 is Verizon and the 9am is Sim Free.

FWIW: I asked at the store today and they said I should be able to get both at the same time and not need to come back for the second appointment.

Yea - similar situation here. I bet the "ready for pickup" happens when the back of house inventory specialist scans the individual phone into the system and puts it into the secure cage area. Just happens that they scanned the later pickup one first, but they are probably going through hundreds of them right now.

So...much...cardboard...
 
For those with a 12:24am AK departure scan, do you happen to live in the general area of the UPS hub in Louisville to where the rest of the travel would probably be via ground later tonight into other states? Or do you all expect more flights? Just wondering if they’re waiting ‘til later to deal with ones that are closer and traveling by ground vs. all these that are flying out.
So I'm here at AZ, I'm hoping there would be more flight tonight. I don't see any new scans.

When was this changed? In years past, if you showed up early, they would make you go in a “holding“ line, which was basically the last group of people to be selected. Otherwise, time slots were in a different line.
It has been the guidance for as long as I know, but yah if you go outside your slot they will put you in line, but some people dont care if their pickup was scheduled for 8 hours later in the day.
 
That’s like 20 minutes away from me

You should have your New Hampshire scan now (or shortly)! Just got mine showing 6:22 PM

Well I was wrong, my phone destined for the Boston area left Louisville earlier than expected and landed in Manchester NH! Should still be fine...


(just an hour drive from there to the Watertown MA UPS facility)

Just got my notification from Apple that my iPhone is ready for pickup at the Apple Store! My pickup window is 12:00-12:15pm in Portland, Maine tomorrow!

I was there a couple weeks ago. I love that city. They had a huge line outside holy donut in the middle of a pandemic haha.
 
I got the notification that it's ready for pickup, except my scheduled time is on Saturday. Might take a shot of picking it up early tomorrow morning because I live 5 minutes from the Apple Store!
Buy an adapter or something for store pickup so you can schedule a time for tomorrow and try to get your phone at the same time! Worth a try!
 
Just curious is anyone else here going to be coming from a 7/8+? It’s almost exactly he same weight as those phones. Gonna be interesting!

I'm coming from a 7. My 6S gave up last year a month before 11 launched, so I got a 7 for the time being. I wasn't impressed with 11 so I kept the 7 for another year. Really excited to upgrade this year.
