It’s a preorder, shipping in November… so a little bit of a wait
Your package is pending release from a non-UPS broker. Contact the non-UPS broker for additional information.

Sounds like UPS handed it over to your postal service.
I'm EST and still not showing any movement on the app. From what I gather, the app is a better place to check even though it's a slightly bigger PITA to enter gift cards, etc.
I'm refreshing every 15 minutes, checking a variety of bands. At this point, this guy who doesn't know how to swim will take an ocean band if I have to...LOL
Lmao, thanks
I set my alarm for 7 but ended up waking up earlier so I'm checking
It says not available for in store pickup currently so they just haven't switched it on yet I think, hopefully at 7, my watch comes today but I need something other than an ocean band for day to day I think (will use ocean for water stuff every weekend)
I'm convinced they had an issue producing the trail bands and I haven't seen a single one in the wild or anyone mention that they were available for in store pickup anywhere, even best buy, so I'm aiming for alpine
Note sure of the locations of the quoted users above but for me, as a member of UPS MyChoice, I have not been required to sign for anything in several years. Not sure if because of COVID protocols or MyChoice membership.
I can remember a few years ago Apple would notify you ahead of time that a signature would be needed and even offered you a downloadable form to pre-sign for delivery. I have not seen that happen in a few years though; well before COVID.
I received my wife’s 14PM yesterday and signature was not needed. Today my Ultra comes but not wanting to risk it, I am WFH just in case. But I am thinking it is not needed.
Keep in mind, regardless if a package requires signature or not, it is up to the discretion of the driver to leave it.

What size band is everyone getting in the Alpine loop? I wear a M/L sport band and I am thinking I need a Medium in the Alpine.
Large, but I have a huge wrist, like 200mm huge
The alpine seems to be pretty definitive with it's sizing, you're better off going 1 size larger than 1 size smaller
I currently use a 45mm milanese
For giftcards add them to your profile in the app. That way you don’t have to enter them later. It will just pop up and say do you want to apply your credit in checkout. Hit the logo at the top right with your initials on it. Then hit apple account balance. Then redeem gift card. Then either scan the gift card or enter it manually.
I went with Medium. Hope not a mistake. But I’ve read the bands for larger previous series should fit. I hope my Milanese band will fit. It may look nice on the Ultra in a pinch if the medium does not work out.
I had to use a shoe string and the apple measure app to get some type of measurement can’t get to my toolbox right now. I got around 178mm so Idk if I should go large or medium. I don’t want to have to return the whole watch to attempt to swap the band and then they are sold out.
Medium sounds perfectly fine, but if you want to be sure you can go for a large, it will at the very least fit and if it's too big you shouldn't have too much of a struggle swapping it out with them being in stores from this point forward
When I place a store order last week, the stock was updated at 8a local store time. So try at 8:00am for the time zone of your local store. I was able to get an order in at 8:02a for same day pickup for an iPhone 14 Pro Max
I was told the in-store pickup appointments were done at 6am for the open time pickups. when I got to my apple store at 8am. I checked in with a rep and ended up with a 3:30 pm reservation.
They did open 2 hours early at 8am that day. Maybe it will be 8 since they open at the normal time today at 10
All the stores by me open up at 10 EST, so I guess I'm just going to refresh from 7-8, I've heard both times as being the initial, not fun
EDIT: It's not 7 EST, nothing is populating and it usually happens quickly
I got the same thing... not sure what this means. And then it says "Rescheduled delivery"
I like this tip. My only worry is I currently have an online order in from 9/8 where I used my GC's as part of the checkout. If I enter them in the app for an account balance but I don't score one today, will that online order for late-Oct still ping my account balance even though the GC's would show as $0?
That’s a good question I would assume it would just try and charge the account maybe but not sure or give you the option to update it.
