Has anyone done the Hold for Pickup request.

When I just did it it said the package would be available to be picked up today 9/23 but it just arrived in AK. I assume this is an error or do they expect it to arrive there just at somepoint today.

I was in the 8:01 club & no luck not showing in Alaska yet. Maybe I'm on UPS 59 which should be there in about an hour and 20 mins. This is so depressing. I've never had these issues with my new phone being delivered.

I was on the 801 but no arrival scan yet. Did your departure scan at 7:28? Maybe it's on UPS 59 like you said. In that case it's better for me as I live in Orange County...

I had a departure scan from Hong Kong at 7:28 PM so I think I'm on the UPS59 flight to Anchorage. I hope so!

Anyone else with that departure scan?

Hey all, I thought I'd chime in finally. I preordered a 128 7 Plus JB at 3:08am EST 9/9 and got a confirmation email from Apple at 3:09am. I'm in Canada so it's a carrier free phone. Estimated shipping 2-3 weeks with a delivery of October 5-13. No movement. No charges.

I want my phone.

I saw the same thing. I'm assuming that it's an error.

UPS is crazy fast according to my tracking. 5 hours and 36 minutes from Hong Kong to Alaska!

For what it's worth I have two phones in the 8:01 group, both arrived in Ak and still show no estimated delivery date when tracked but the MyUPS shows Monday for both. East coast if it helps anyone

I'm in the 801 group just got off the phone with UPS.

They informed me that my iPhone is going to be available for pickup tonight at my local destination facility—I'm located in central Texas. The one I'm going is open from 9am-7pm and 7:30pm-8:00pm today. They're also open tomorrow(Saturday) from 10am-1pm.

I had them hold it at the facility for me to pick up tonight. I got the 128gb JB iPhone 7 plus on AT&T's next plan on apple.com at 2:08am on release day.

Hey everyone just thought I'd contribute to the forum. I am part of the 801 crew - whaddup y'all! It's been helpful and at times entertaining to have the solace of reading this forum so thank you all for that. Never have I been more relieved to see my package arrive Alaska 12:48PM scan. I'm hoping we can make a saturday delivery somehow that would be amazing! But... seems unlikely. Anywho thanks all again

I'm located in Texas for shipping time reference.

What city are you located in? I'm in LA wondering if I even have this option? How can I arrange for pickup when it still doesn't say when it will be delivered??
