Always pickup — I’m nearly last on my local ups and fedex route — I remember a few years ago they marked my package as delivery attempted without even trying because they are lazy and wanted to go hoke instead of finish their route — had to wait to Monday I was so pissed lol happens to a lot of people ever year too — ever since then I always do Apple store pickup if I can.
 
last year i opted for UPS CC pick-up after I received the tracking number. Best decision. Like everyone else said, you really in and out in no time. Although there was about 10 people ahead of me (and eventually 10 more behind me) it moves fairly quickly.

BTW if you're planning on switching to a UPS CC pick-up, I would call and verify the times they are open for package pick-up AND what ID you may need. I say that because I had an out of state ID and I had to bring something to prove my address
 
My Store pick up is still the same. Order in process. No pickup email and no charge on credit card.
 
Looking back at my previous pickups, I got an email after 1am for pickup that day... So we have to hang in there... some of us may stay up for the email, others will sleep, or try to sleep... :)

This is my first store pickup, but I’d rather wait on line than wait another 1 or 2 weeks...which is what it would’ve been if I had it delivered.
 
Anyone else get this email?

About to be on my way to pick up from UPS Customer Center here. My 2 phones showed them in China and Alaska last night right before 1am. Checked this morning and are at the UPS CC. Guess it was just a glitch.
