Delivery always shows up end of day for me, so I did 8am pick up at my local Apple Store this time around :)
Same reason why I pick store pickup. The last time UPS delivered mine it didn't arrive until almost 8PM. To top it off, it was the one time Apple messed up my order. They sent a 64 GB instead of a 128GB and it was assigned to someone else entirely. Actually, I believe that was also the year I made the mistake of pre-ordering from AT&T instead of Apple. NEVER again.

Apple can.... They just won't
Apple has done great things for me in the past. A few years ago, I was visiting my girlfriend in Utah but my release day iPhone was going to Maryland, where I live. The phone was sitting in Louisville when I called Apple and asked if there was any way for my phone to be rerouted to Utah. The Apple rep said she'd try and a few minutes later my phone was temporarily untrackable while the label got switched out. My new phone got to me in Utah on time. 👍
 
For all of you trading in with Apple via mail.. make sure to check that the shipping labels are correct. Last year I was sent a return label for someone else, meaning if I sent it back I wouldn’t have received any compensation for my phone.
Thanks for the heads up. I’ll probably bring mine to a local Apple store after I receive and set up the 13 pm as I don’t trust the mail anyway.

I am getting my iPhone delivered to a business address, MyChoice is not available for business addresses. Any other way I can get my tracking number?
 
Good morning from Las Vegas, I was really feeling sorry for myself because I still had no tracking information showing when I signed into My Choice on my pc. I had my confirmation from Apple at 5:02 am Friday morning so I am thinking What the heck!! So I added the UPS app to my phone...Guess what popped up immediately :p I am in the 4:50 team.
I only do this every two years but do remember several of you from two years ago. My husband does not think this is crazy, he is actually likes that I am having fun following this with all have building up to our phones arriving. He is actually one of these rare people that does not have a phone nor does he want one especially since he is retired. But he is pushing me to purchase the new Mini 6, so he can get my Mini 5 and I will trade in his Mini 3. I may go ahead and break down and do that today.

Do it…you know you want to! 😉
 
Apple started pre-orders for their latest iPhone 13 series smartphones which include iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max on Friday (September 17) at 5:30 PM ahead of deliveries and in-store pickups beginning next week on September 24.



However, Apple has now quietly pushed shipping dates for the Pro and Pro Max models in select markets including India. Apple’s India online store now shows shipping dates for the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max to next month, specifically October 25 to 30.

Last year, oh yes! I was concerned because it literally did not move until Wednesday!! 😥

I thought it fell off a pallet somewhere!

I was Last, Last Minute! 😂

Yeah...this was me also, painful!
I can't go through that again so I will TRY to refrain from checking....and checking now that I have tracking number.

...some habits I cant break though. 😏
 
Still no tracking here, and I am getting it delivered to my office so it won’t show up on mychoice either. Any one have any ideas to get the full tracking info early without mychoice?

just showed up in track by reference!! But I’m still not sure how to get the full tracking number.
Set up a my choice for your office.

You should be able to find it by reference number. Either your 10-digit phone number or your order number minus the last digit

I have tried that, but doesn’t give me the full tracking number.

“Upcoming Changes: Limiting display of reference number tracking details for improved security.

UPS is changing how the reference number tracking results are displayed to provide additional protection:

Tracking details will be mostly masked with only basic reference number tracking details available.

Senders that have saved the shipment's account number as a payment method in their profile, or in their company profile, will see the full tracking details.”
