Did anyone do in store pickup? I have a 10AM pickup window. Do I have to stand in line or is there a separate line for pre orders? First time doing in store pickup, always sat waiting for UPS on launch day for prior phones.
I’m picking up for the first time too. Have always waited for UPS and picked up at CC in past. I believe there is a separate preorder line so I’d get there a little before the pick up time and check in with an associate.

Mine just switched to unknown.

But several folks have heard from UPS that it’s a computer thing, so not going to worry (too much).

More worried about my watch that went to Houston instead of DFW

At this point if your phone is not physically on a flight to Louisville there is no way to be getting it tomorrow. All UPS planes leaving Alaska for Louisville have already departed and it has to be there before around 3 so that the flights can make it to your local areas.
right, but scanning glitches mean we don't reliably know what left AK. Mine has been there since noon (whatever time zone that is), so I have to believe it made a plane to KY.

Not failed...I'm just unimpressed with their tracking information this year. I *might* end up being unimpressed with their delivery, but I'll reserve that for tomorrow ;)

Imagine the logistics involved with moving millions of phones and watches from multiple locations in China to their destinations across the globe in 168 hours... hiccoughs and oddities are bound to happen - they do every year... but in the end, they get the job done... my hat's off to BROWN. Good job!

Just got a departure scan in Anchorage at 3:26pm. Arrival was 12:19pm. No delivery date listed but i'm not concerned, seems to be a glitch based on how many people are impacted. Also, UPS Worldwide Express Saver is guaranteed - UPS doesn't want to lose all that money!

I got an email from UPS saying my package is scheduled for delivery tomorrow at my apartment even though I put in a request to have it picked it up at a CC. Should I expect to be able to pick it up tomorrow or no?

My schematic is identical.

Just saw this on MacRumors front page (from someone's twitter). Conflicting informations from front-line agents usually means that they really don't know.

My delivery date changed to unknown.

But just updated.

Was previously a 12:19 AK arrival.
Now is a 3:26 Departure.

Im in AZ

Still says scheduled delivery date unavailable for the record.

Watch also just departed Mather, CA.
I'm in the same boat as you, 12:19 arrival and just updated to 3:26 Departure. I'm in buffalo and my delivery day says 9/24. I believe however if its on its way to Louisville right now I should have it tomorrow.

Scheduled delivery on my iPhone XS Max has changed to Monday from tomorrow. Dang.

Anyone else see that happen?
