Right, I didn’t see the other import scan.
Idk tho tracking was weird for some this morning. I heard someone got a call saying it was ready for pickup despite saying in transit still. Then mine was at the CC held for pickup at 7AM and at 8:40 got a scan saying it was incorrectly sorted and I was confused as to how that could happen an hour and a half after it was put aside for pickup. I went in and it was in the hold location as it should have been so don't know why it said that.
 
What happened?

I'm just stressed out since I won't be home during my delivery window. If they ship it a tad early all will be well. I just don't want to be obsessing over the delivery the weekend I'm in Lake Tahoe for the first time ever. It would be nice to take pictures with the new phone out there too.

I'll be fine. The person I feel really bad for is the poor guy who's iPhone got delivered to his old apartment in NY. My situation isn't so bad compared to that. Thankfully we have the technology that we do these days and I have a MIL/brothers that can easily swing by and put my package in my house for me. I'm being a big baby... I'll stop now 😏

Yeah, I'm in Cali too and when I pre-orderd the Northridge store didn't have it "Available for pick up" but I didn't click on the link (I just assumed stores were still shut down). I realized after it was too late I made a fatal mistake. There was no changing it after I placed the order. Same with today now that mine is "preparing to ship"... I'm glad you were able to cancel and do a pick up. If they just ship my package in the next day or two I'll be okay. <3
You can still cancel the order since the shipping label has not been created.

My local Apple stores that have the Pacific Blue 128GB Pro 12 are:
South Coast - Costa Mesa,
Irvine,
Victoria Gardens,
Brea,
Fashion Island - Newport Beach

I just created a new order this morning and secured a spot for Sunday in Brea.

Gotta scream nasties at Apple online for pulling me around the block for a week!

Well folks. I called out work and I picked up another pro at the store. I got the 512 gb in my local store. I simply could not wait until November. I'm going to sell my other one coming to my dad in November. He's got a 7plus so he needed it. I'm really excited to see how it is. Wish I could have flown with y'all from china but I just had to get my phone ASAP. Haha can't wait to see what this ios thing is all about

No, the "cancel" link is no more for me... I spoke with a rep and she said she could try but no guarantee and my Verizon # is already tied up with my order. I'd have to pay for the phone in full and forfeit the ability to upgrade next year.

Good for you though. Enjoy your phone. The wait doesn't bother me personally, it's the uncertainty!
 
Yeah, I learned my lesson.
Never will I wake up at 5am, pay for the phone, get charged immediately, then told its 3 week backorder to only find out that the Apple stores near me have them all in stock !!

What a pisser.!

STRAIGHT PISSER! Seriously we got done DIRTY this year. Bah! Lesson learned.

Does anyone know if an Apple Store gift card can be used on AC+ when purchased online? I know it can be used in store, but since I don’t live near one I just buy it online.

Was it the NY guy who shipped it to his old address but lives in KY now? I saw something about that the other day.

And my journey ends here for the 12 Pro, I just went and picked it up at the UPS CC during my lunch break. Too bad I have to wait till after work to be able to play with it. But now don't have to worry about picking it up. See you guys when the pre-order starts for the 12 Pro Max!!!

Might have to call to do it. I just looked trying to do it in settings and it ask for regular credit card info there is no other payment spot.

If it's "preparing to ship," unfortunately you cannot cancel. I was in the same position, but ultimately decided to pay for a store pickup and do a return of the original order (even though there isn't a UPS tracking # or anything). So I'll be out $2K until I get the phone and return it.

No you're not "out 2K" as if someone screwed you. You choose to hold up $2k out of sheer impatience.
 
My 12 was delivered at 9:30AM. I wish I was excited, but now I’m waiting for my 12 Pro (two weeks away) so I just slap a return label on this bad boy and go back to this 6s+ for a few more weeks....
 
Placed my order for a Graphite 256GB Pro on Oct 16 at 5:00am. It said "Delivers Oct 23" at the time of order. Email confirmation at 5:08am said "Delivers Oct 23". Took the day off to be home for delivery. Decided to check my order last night, and it says Expected Delivery Oct 30 to Nov 3. This will be my eighth iPhone since buying my first 3g in 2008, and I've never had this happen. Ugh
 
True, but a supervisor could get a driver to "break route" if asked to do so. That's also how the "confirmed delivery windows" work if honored... a driver has to generally "break route" to meet that commitment, so you should show some extra special love to your driver for doing so and possibly extending the rest of his/her day out further than needed.

There is practically zero chance this happens on one of their busiest delivery days of the year (factoring in that they hire additional drivers at Christmas).

Everyone thinking UPS should go out of their way to go pick this guys phone up and send it somewhere else after they deliver it? Just check your address at checkout please its on you not them. You could even edit the address for a period of time after until it was preparing to ship.
