With COVID, UPS isn’t taking signatures. Your driver may verify that someone is home, but most have been leaving packages at the door.
That is actually true. We have a gated entryway with our Ring doorbell outside of the gate and UPS has in the past just left packages behind the wall from the walkway or behind one of our large potted plants in the entryway.

i ordered 5 mins into the pre-order day and received the confirmation of 11/13 delivery date. as of last night it was still showing prepping for ship. but this morning i co-worker told me he already received the shipping email and he ordered like an hour after i did. i went to apple store app and the order section is down, it says try again later, could this mean they're in the process of updating my status that's why it's down?
Yeah I'm seeing the same thing when I try and look up my orders. I received my email from Apple about 35 minutes ago and the UPS import scan showed up 20 minutes after I got the email.

Seems like Apple gets special notification from UPS since they sent me the email 2 minutes after my phone was scanned in even though the UPS website took another 20 minutes to update. Very interesting.

Minion team, no movement from KY. Got my cases yesterday. Apple one was delivered after 6PM. I’m hoping my phone will be here when I come back from work, but who knows what time will “by End of Day” will be. View attachment 1660725 View attachment 1660726
Ooh, I have been eyeballing that Otter Box case...how does it feel in relation to the Apple Silicone cases? Smooth and soft? Grippy?

I just checked UPS since Apple has at last changed to shipped. (Big deal since UPS showed it was shipped 2 days ago). However, UPS still shows that it left Anchorage at 2:24 AM on the 10th. Since they do not show the plane as landing yet I got the mental picture of a small battered biplane, in UPS colors, chugging along with a smoking 2 cylinder engine and a white bearded pilot hunched grimly at the controls trying to get the old crate to Louisville one last time.
*DYING* For anyone who plays World of Warcraft, the pilot character described here is absolutely either Brann or Magni Bronzebeard!!

Thanks. No biggie. Just wondering. I will be home, but have to leave at 3. So hopefully they will deliver on Saturday if they come later than that.

No, they aren’t requiring signatures this year probably due to Covid. I replied to the wrong person earlier, but my husband’s 12 was left at the door and my cases this week were just left at the door.

Well...still can't see the orders page, but as I was checking, got a notification from the Apple Store app that my order has shipped!

Weird how it will send me that and then pressing on it brings me to a page I can't access...

Yes but in my comfy chair, on a cold below freezing day, with my coffee LOL so much better
We got a pretty harsh frost here. I was wearing shorts two days ago! Definitely would not be in a physical line with this weather. Not THAT much of an upgrade from X with new battery to the Pro Max.

I've been using their Symmetry case on my 11 PM and like it very much. The grip is good. I have one for my 12 PM arriving tomorrow.

"Stuck in Anchorage" crew: I just got my import scan at Louisville, KY. Keep an eye out!

Yep same crew since the 10 after midnight anchorage time, but apple got the scan I guess since I got notifications form apple via text/mail my phone has shipped LOL. Apple (for me) beats UPS notice this time LOL
