I hesitate to post that my phone and watch are on the truck for delivery because I know some of you are still worried yours won't arrive today. Only thing I can offer is that I've been doing this for several years and Apple has never been late. Someone posted that some 7/7 plus were delivered on Saturday instead of Friday but I got mine on launch day. I know Apple will make good or make it up to you. Best of luck everyone and like every year, it's been fun sharing the ride with you.

I’m in Lakeland and my phone arrived in Orlando at 6:20am and hasn’t left yet... my local CC opens in an hour and a half, and my watch is already there. Phone still stuck in Orlando.... so I can relate...

The drive from Orlando to Oakland isn’t to bad as long as i4 isn’t crazy

You are lucky. Mine still has to make a three hour drive out to Abilene. It just left the airport at 7.

I'm at the point in the UPS app after I chose the CC and there is a button at the bottom that says "Select [This] Location". So far there is no estimated availability date/time (for that location) showing. Will I get a chance to confirm this change again, or am I committed once I tap the "Select Location" button?
You're in the app. I know in Safari you get to pick the location, hit next and then it'll give you the estimate. I'm not sure about the app.

Same. I'm in the Lehigh Valley and called UPS when I saw mine departed from Middletown to ask if I could change mine to pickup at the CC since I'll be in that area early this morning, but was told that would delay pickup until Monday. So I'll wait for my UPS guy. He usually shows up after 4pm. Going to leave the shipment release form just incase they show early.
Will our phone arrive today ?

My watch is in my city but my phone was last scanned 3 hours away at 6:24 a.m. (Middletown, PA). Here's to hoping they will still put it out for delivery once it gets to my area. Tracking still shows delivery for today.

Down south
Mine left Louisville yesterday afternoon, arrived in Jackson, MS around 11:40 p.m., left Jackson a few hours later, arrived in BR, LA, at 6:27 a.m. and at 6:30 a.m. it was out for delivery. I won’t likely have it til this evening because of our location, but I’m excited it’s on its last leg of the journey.

My watch (AT&T order) OTOH, is coming FedEx, and right now is still near NO (they scanned Kenner, so I’m guessing at the NO airport).

My daughter’s phone (also AT&T) is coming FedEx also, and it’s in Covington, LA right now.

It’s so crazy how they are just all over the place.

The great phone race is on and is almost replicating exactly my 6S shipping times.

Currently on a plane to a town about 3 hours away. It should arrive there and then be trucked up by around noon and make an afternoon delivery around 3:30ish.

Fingers crossed!

So, I put the request in days ago to have my phone held at the CC. I just got the notification from UPS that it is instead “out for delivery.” Is this normal, or did they not fulfill my request?

Who else was on UPS1112 that was delayed out of Louisville to JFK? My phone left JFK @ 7:30 for my hub. Hopefully I will have it when the driver delivers to my office.

Just checked in the browser and it tells me I can pick it up today. Last Progress update is still departure scan in Louisville... contemplating if I should take a chance and change it stay at the CC! Decisions, decisions.

Make that decision fast before you can’t anymore and it’s loaded in the truck

We should have t shirts made! It hasn't been the carefree fun of past years. Today was really rough. Outcome looks good though

All of my stuff made it... as expected... iPhone XS Max 256 SG SIM-free and two black S4 watches... never a doubt... trust the process.

This year's ride had a few bizarre turns, but once again, UPS came through. Trust the process.
