Tomorrow is a US holiday, which USPS observes. I wonder if UPS does too...
Should be ok, I think?

Sorry if I missed this, but those of you who had a 12 delivered, did you have the option of pre-signing so UPS can drop it off without having someone at the house? Or does anyone know if this is still an option?

Thanks!

Signature required, but in reality due to the pandemic, the driver will need to hand it off to you and ask you for your name which he/she enters.

The driver will not let you touch their scan device.

My driver on the other hand, just tossed the iPhone 12 Pro onto my front door step at 8pm and ran off without ringing the doorbell!

Guess he was working too late and had to get home ???

So there is no option of signing in advance online and printing it to put outside?

So, I called UPS International Shipment Department. The UPS girl was very nice she put me on hold and said let me do a thorough research...

2 minutes later she comes back and advises. The package is still currently in China and there are no indication that it is in United States. There are no physical scans or delays. They are just behind moving the package.

9PM crew we will see an update hopefully today or tomorrow. But rest assured we are stuck in China :(
Well given as one of the 9:20 crew who made Hong Kong and now am 20 minutes from Louisville I mentioned in another post here that there seemed to be another 9:20 crew that left Hong Kong same time but was 4 hours behind in and out of Anchorage. So as several have mentioned it appears the 9:20 batch is big and has been broken up with two smaller batches 4 hours apart and others still in ZhengZhou, I could be wrong but the break up at Hong Kong of two batches of 9:20’s makes me agree with you even as I hope we are wrong and they will just populate I am sure they will get there just in different batches. Isn’t this fun? LOL I have been in both kinds of groups before, it is frustrating to see your phone be in a later batch. But none of us sees them til 11/13 anyway LOL
 
FINALLY!

The tracking number that showed up in MyChoice didn’t give me any information so I looked up by reference number. The last 4 digits didn’t match up so I called in to get the correct boarding pass, I mean, tracking number.

The other tracking number was an old shipping label that was never used. Going to have to get tech support to help update my package matching details, but for now...

I should make a flight today!!! Whichever one that will be!! YES!

It looks like our phones are together. Mine is in the same batch.

No option to have your signature in advance or leaving a note.

What you can do is thru the UPS My Choice app, place alternate delivery instructions (neighbor, UPS customer counter, UPS Access Point, UPS Store, etc...)
 
Gotcha, I have never traded in with them. I would assume they give you some time to send in still.
They send you a kit though. I'm surprised they haven't sent it already. When I bought my last AW the kit arrived before the watch.

If I don't get it by Friday I'll ask Apple when I pick up my 12 PM.
 
My guess is they go out tonight. They do these shipments in 2-3 batches every year. With my X I didn’t get out of China until Wednesday and it still made it. Also sat in Processing status until the Tuesday before. If you have a 11/13 date you’ll get it then.
I agree I have been in both kinds of groups already. My luck of draw is I made it out on first of the 9:20 batches and now almost to Louisville. But yeah I have had phones come in late to Louisville on Thursday and still make it to my home town 2-3 hours away early in AM and out for delivery.
 
For Reference for those that want to pick up at their UPS CC Center, but that option is not showing up as a pickup option on their UPS My Choice page.

I emailed the UPS customer service and they very quickly made the change for me.

UPS does know what they‘re doing. They gave his mastery down.
 
I ordered 3 phones from Apple on Friday (via ATT installment plan) all with delivery date of 11/13. Apple sent authorization to my credit card for the sales tax for all three that day. On Sunday I noticed that the sales tax charge for one of the phones posted to the credit card but as of now it's still pending for the other two. UPS My Choice is only indicating tracking number for one phone. So I have ascertained that only one of the three phones have shipped. Is anyone else in the same situation with a phone scheduled for 11/13 delivery not charged/shipped yet?

Yeah this is the first time I’ve ever made the first batch. I’m landing in KY in a minute, was in the 11/7 8:00 batch for my 2 maxes. Will now hang out for 2 days before more movement on Thursday. Usually 2-3 flights to Denver so I’ll play the guessing game on which one it is.

Bummer, thanks. I am still not able to view my full tracking number despite logging in through MyChoice with the email address used for the order. Just have the last four digits of it still.
 
I picked up my BB case on Fri., it is really nice! Glad I ordered it on Friday also, there are NO stores within a 80 mile radius from Philly area that have this in stock (as of last night), delivery time was early Dec.
I could of had it Friday. I didn't feel the need to go to one of many stores in my area to get it, so I just ordered it. It is really nice. Hopefully it will complement the Pacific Blue really well.

Do you see the change on My Choice now? Or, will it take a day or two?
 
I hope not...all I can say is it has happened before. Not that uncommon actually with these types of shipments where there are hundreds of items on a single pallet.
Yes, but if you actually take the time to go back to like around page 200 or so, there are some folks that are 11:57 pm arrival scan. If you look at my screen shot below, I have the 11:57 pm arrival scan and then departed 10/20/2020 5:50 AM scan, there were quite a few that also had the 11:57 PM scan but didn't have the depart scan and yet some of them actually stayed behind and waited for the next flight out. I'm sure this is the case for the 12 Pro Max as well. We shall see.
