Interesting. I was able to request a hold for pick up at my local CC right after I got my tracking and when it was still in China. Doesn't hurt to try on Thursday. Or you can phone them too. I've heard some people were able to do it that way.
Got a tip for us?

Are any of you who are doing in store pickup for the 21st able to track your devices through UPS by Phone number or Order number? I have three XS Max's for pickup at 8-8:30 and cannot get tracking for any of them.
Is it showing hold for pickup at all? I had to scroll a bit to find the CC the rest where just UPS stores or places that they would hold items for pickup.
exactly the same as you...and yes i set my alarm for 2.58am on the East coast
Huzzah, my tracking info finally showed up (by ref #) on UPS this morning. Looks like it departed Shenzhen a couple of hours ago, at 7:50 pm.
Finally tracking. Sheesh. I’m never one of the early ones
Typically you won't get tracking for any of the in-store pick up. What happens is that Apple will ship batches over to your Apple Store and pull those 3 from that inventory and to be given out to you in store on pick up day. Last year when I did the in-store pick up for the 8 Plus (iUP), I never got tracking for the in-store pick up and I got an e-mail from them it's ready for pick up.
I have one picking up this Friday for the XS Max (iUP) as well, I do see that tax charge on my credit card so it's been processed, now just waiting for Friday to come for that.
No you won't see tracking because the iPhone is being shipped to Apple not you directly.
Got it. This is my 2nd year doing IUP and couldn't remember if I ever saw tracking on my X last year. Thank You!

Appreciate the clarification!
Forgot this was an option. Might try to pay the extra $ for it. Have an appointment in the afternoon and they always show up in the afternoon
Finally have tracking! Just says "shipping label created."
I'm looking to change delivery to a CC but the one near me doesn't appear as an option on the list. Even when I manually enter the address of the CC in the location to search for locations nearby. I mean, I can wait a little until the actual tracking starts, and maybe that'll change it... but did anyone have more luck finding a way for the CC to show up?

I ordered the same phone as you and I'm still showing the same location...Guess we should've ordered Gold!!!
For those using phone number to find tracking what format are you using?
I ordered through the app on iPhone 2 min after opening, XS 64GB Space Grey 21st delivery on Apple. Still shows preparing to ship and nothing in UPS.

I don’t think you can have it held on something that “is by the end of the day delivery.” Try emailing or calling them and having them to hold it. That’s what I did!Forgot this was an option.

It’ll change Thursday, don’t pay attention to apple website. Look st UPS, that’s what matters..
