I, like many, don’t like to wait until the UPS truck comes to deliver to my house…which is usually the end of the day. So, I have it held for free at my UPS CC (Customer Center) for pick up. To do this you need a UPS My Choice account. This should not be confused with a having it picked up at a UPS Store…this will delay your delivery!
Better check...many UPS areas have stopped doing this. Mine did. And to hold is no longer free and the only options are UPS stores or stores where UPS stops. Customer Centers are no longer listed.

Your area may be different, but I would double-check.

UPS delivers late in the day in my neighborhood. I looked into redirecting for pick up and it is about $6. But what I can't confirm is if I do this will it be available for pickup earlier in the day. I would imagine UPS delivers to our local UPS store earlier than they do for residential delivery. May have to call the local UPS store to see if they can answer that question.
If you have it sent to a UPS Store rather than a Customer Center, UPS has to relabel the package to reroute it to the store which usually causes a delay of at least one day.
 
I don’t have the pending charge on my Apple Card yet either. Still says 24th delivery and Processing. 128 Graphite Pro Max. Not sure if I should be worried or not.
 
Yeah, what’s worrying me is that given the Apple Card problems yesterday, it somehow went through the transaction without properly charging my card? The amount isn’t showing up in the available credit yet either. Then again, the Apple Card has always been kind of sluggish to show transactions. Not sure what to think TBH.
 
I'm using debit is that the same as credit as in the process

Honestly, no one knows. It could be some phones are in China and ship from there, while others are bulk shipped to the US already and are dispatched from staging points, and there are different methods of processing for each. But I have zero worries, because it's like this every year.
 
Tracking number just popped up in UPS app.

I did the Apple Card payment plan. Tax was charged to the card, but still stuck in processing. Hopefully it changes soon. I am having it delivered to my office on Friday. UPS is always there by 10:30am.

Ah…right! I forgot about that. I think that might be the case at my usual CC as well. We will have to see once the delivery options are available. We moved last year to a new house a couple of blocks away, but it changed our CC. I believe that I chatted with UPS and had it held there…we shall see…
 
Sometimes it goes to Hong Kong after leaving China right? Maybe mine is waiting for y’all to join it! It’s probably lonely 😂
Lucky you to have a tracking xD

ZhengZhou (China) -> Chek Lap Kok (Hong Kong) -> Anchorage (Alaska) -> Louisville (Kentucky - USA).
 
Usually this is the trip:
