Morning SirLagalot,

Basic My Choice is free, services are limited. In order to select a time window + one must join Premium My Choice, currently USD$19.99.

I'm trying to get my order on Friday delivered before 5 PM, too busy with meetings to collect it myself. Do you reckon if I register I would be able to set a time-window or would that be applicable for orders I place AFTER I am upgraded to My Choice Premium?
 
It’s about that time again! Going to be ordering from Apple again this year if I do go for the 12. Who’s excited?

ETA: Also this includes Apple Store orders as well. Not sure how many are actually open for order pickup though.
My 12 Pro Max 256 Pacific Blue is showing in transit on UPS’s site I tracked by reference number. Applestore still showing preparing to ship. This has worked same on previous iPhones. I do order direct from Apple. Only way I’ll ever order iPhone or iPad.

I'm really confused now. Maybe the first plane I was tracking was correct? Seems like UPS scans were backed up and they getting caught up now. My phone has already departed Anchorage.

said this yesterday systems are backed up and they do not accurately represent the travel of international parcels or whether a package is past customs.

It'll catch up for everyone. rest assured if you have a Friday delivery it'll be here Friday

It isn't an option for me at this moment. That could change once it is scanned in Louisville.

I think as a Basic Member you can do this for a single time for a price. $5.99 as I recall.

I'll look around & edit back.

Edit to add: No, Sorry. Only when you are bona-fide as a Premium Member can you select a delivery window, and even then it's free but twice a year.

Mine just got origin scan 4 hrs. ago. Oh well, I’m not overly concerned since yesterday I was actually able to order an A.M. pickup on release day. 😀

The delivery window option is available two days prior to delivery date, which will be tomorrow.

I finally see my iPhone tracking on the UPS app.

I have a UPS Customer Center within a mile and a half from my house, but UPS Mychoice doesn’t let me change the delivery to a UPS CC, when I request delivery change, it only lists UPS third party pick up locations (CVS, local businesses, etc).

For my prior experience, it may take one additional business day for delivery when selecting a third party pick up location.

Has anyone been able to select a UPS CC when changing delivery?
 
I ordered the pro Max 256 in graphite. Order went through at 8:03am on Friday. It says delivery on 11/13, but so far it still says “preparing to ship.” Anyone think it’s possible that some models are shipping from the US?
I’m in the same boat. Not to worry, we’ll have our phones on 11/13 without a doubt. Apple does this all the time and you can expect rapid changes in our shipping notice over the next 1-2 days. In addition you’re right that Apple could have some phones locally stateside too for shipping to customers 😀

It’ll show as Preparing to Ship on your Apple order page until around Thursday or Friday, I think once it leaves Louisville. Not sure why Apple does it that way.

Not yet. I do have an option for a locker on UPS Customer Center property.

I called my UPS Customer Center yesterday, and was told I might be able to select CC hold once in Kentucky, or call and they might be able to override and hold at CC.

I was told the locker delivery times vary by driver.
 
Well for those of us who have phones that left ZhenZhou at 8:03 AM CST another update just popped before the plane from ZhenZhou departs. It left Hong Kong a little under 4 hours after it left ZhenZhou. Here is latest scans for my phone

Yea I saw that on my tracking, why Hong Kong? maybe some drop offs maybe? Either way it left anchorage, on its way to KY.
