Same for me. I want to go to my Apple store today but I’m in the upgrade program.
Contested how? If you reported it as fraud that’s illegal since you authorized the transaction. Have fun dealing with that after you receive the phone.UPS never delivered the phone yesterday. UPS still has no updates or useful information.
Contacted my credit card company and contested the $1500 charge. I can be a pain in the ass, too.

You will have to return the phone or exchange after you receive it
While that’s true, that small percentage seems to be much more significant than previous releases. Of course any data to support that is anecdotal but my interactions with both Apple and UPS have been more forthright, transparent, and even exasperated than in previous years. And this leads to the point that this year the “don’t worry, scans don’t matter, UPS knows what they’re doing you’ll get it” has been not true for more people than ever. My local CC is helping orchestrate to get mine to me today and all have affirmed more following day deliveries and issues than ever before.
Wow. Both models are in plentiful supply at Apple stores today. Definitely NOT rare this year.
They get deliveries on Saturday so most got restocked. Couldn't find an Apple watch anywhere yesterday and then this morning 5 stores had them i was able to place a pickup order and just picked it up!
If you've assigned your phone number to the phone to be delivered (also with a trade-in and buying on the installment upgrade program), I don't see how this works. Apple said I have to wait until it's delivered and then come into the store (in my case to get a different color).
Didn’t consider that. However, the apple staff is usually pretty magical. They might be able to get you going. Or just swap the SIM.
They can't just swap it the issue people are having is the phone they ordered has been used as an upgrade on their line already and they don't have it. So without a phone to return they can't just go to the store and purchase another phone on that same line.
I hope you are enjoying your AW now
All set up, and I love it. Previous was a series 2.

Same. Has anyone successfully done this? Mine’s stuck in Zhengzhou and it’s available in many local apple stores.
You can if you buy sim-free which many of the stores by me have in stock.
I know that. But most people who used the IUP or bought connected to a carrier wanted to finance them most likely. If they can go drop $1,000 or $1,100 then that's an option but if they needed to use the financing they are stuck until theirs comes in.

If you’re eligible for the IUP and the configuration you want is in stock? Yes. You should be able to do it walk-in, in-store.
Yes Apple does IUP in store for all 4 carriers

Also try and reserve online. You will get a 30 minute pickup window and wait a lot less
Holy crap!! My XS was just delivered. I was totally not expecting it since the website wasn’t updating. Glad I stayed home today!!
Yes but I have a phone that was shipped to me and is stalled out somewhere in the US lol
Right. In that case, unless you’re planning on running some sort of returns scam...
