So i tracked it using the methods here for UPS. i am leaving friday afternoon for my gfs house for the weekend, so i wanted to have it rerouted to the closest UPS location. It doesnt let you do a hold at location, but you can have it rerouted for $5.99. So i paid the $5.99, it showed a CVS location a mile away to select, and as soon as payment went thru, it says not available for this package! So i just got hustled for $5.99 by UPS


also, i could have sworn i did a free hold at UPS center for a few past iphones and picked them up early friday morning before work, but it doesnt let you do that at all now

as a side note, UPS mychoice might be the most user-unfriendly professional website in existence. Error messages all over the place, and i had to use google just to find some pages
 
I spoke with another Apple Rep in regards to turning in your iPhone for the trade-in and was recommended to ship it with the carrier rather than turning it in-store because the store won’t ship it right away as they usually do it in bulk shipments — possibly having it not processed in time or whatever. So, to have it processed quicker, I was advised to ship it with the box that they provide.

Anyone else have experience turning in their iPhone for trade-in in store vs shipping?
I traded in in person at the store when I picked up my iPhone 12 Pro last year. I got this email within a couple of hours of dropping off at the store:
trade-in complete 10.23.2020.jpg

I thought returning in person was faster? I think after mailing it in, it could take a few days before they process the trade-in? Apple might have changed things this year though.😬

Dispute that charge with you CC for sure! Try calling and chatting with UPS support as they may be able to help you out faster than My Choice. I agree, it is a mess of a website haha
 
I preordered phone right when i was able. Delivery date still listed as 9/24 but it hasnt shipped yet. any reason to be worried?
 
Hi @FlightLevel310, will you be able to help what flight are we or will be on? Our last scan was last night at 12:12am AKDTView attachment 1840594

Your phone is likely already in SDF. The order tracking won't reflect this until getting the import scan. Then all of a sudden it will show in SDF and a bunch of scans that weren't there will now be there.

This happened last year. Expect the floodgates of scans into SDF to show up tomorrow probably around 4-5 PM eastern if I recall last year.
 
Just promise you won't tip off UPS so they don't patch it anytime soon 😂
Just FYI, before exchanging PMs with you (Thanks again!), I called UPS international tracking and spoke with someone who could only see what I could see xxxxxx....NNNN, so you're ahead of them! haha

Really curious to find out why the last crew in 06:50 got left behind last night. I wonder what happened. Hopefully the scanning will show.
