Ordered 2 iPhone 13 Pro Max phones for my wife and me. Wife just got notice or shipment and tracking number for UPS. As far as I can tell, it doesn't appear UPS is requiring delivery receipt signature? I used to do this every year but we kept our 11 Pros for 2 years this time, and UPS used to always require you to be home to sign (or pre-sign with a form taped to the door). We're trying to ensure we don't miss the delivery as there will be a period of time we won't be home tomorrow.

Hello Everyone! So thankful my new baby got the import scan in Louisville!

in regard to UPS, I am wondering if anyone can advise or even speculate what tomorrow will be like for them. With all these iPhones delivering, I am sure it will be a busy day for them, however I am wondering if in the sceme of their normal business if this is likely just a real busy day for them, or if this more like completely getting their a— handed to them? 🤣
Thoughts?

Thank you @TheYayAreaLiving and everyone else!

Hoping to catch you in KY within 2 hours. It will be their longest day. Today all UPS planes are booked and slammed. Tomorrow, all the drivers will be busy delivering.
 
Just received this in my email:

The status of your package has changed.
Exception
Reason:
A late flight has caused a delay. We will update the delivery date a
soon as possible.
Exception Resolution:
Your package is on the way

My package has been sitting in KY (arrived a couple of days ago) and I’m in Los Angeles.

i did just send a request to them to hold my package at a CC. So I don’t know if they’re related?
 
I finally did after I panicked this morning that my iPhone was lost in UPS WorldPort.🤣 I had to keep myself busy before refreshing the UPS app again! My import scan was at 8:17am. 🥰 Just hoping that the rainy weather that's heading to NYC area later today won't impact the UPS flights going to EWR. 😅Please no torrential rains and crazy winds today!
Congratulations! See you in KY before you take off.

That exactly what it is. It will say exception till they process that hold for pick up.

I just called ups and they confirmed my phones do NOT need a signature for delivery. I think this may be the first time that I didn't have to be home to sign.

1 more day… or should I say less than 24 hours left for some of you

Anyone picking up their phones tomorrow? I have 2 PM will be ready for pickup tomorrow at noon.
I should have had mine switched to pick up instead of ship, I like going to the apple store on launch day because it makes the experience that much more exciting. Unfortunately I wasn't able to cancel my order so it'll arrive tomorrow at my doorstep. Next year!

Well I don’t know if my UPS account is provisioned correctly. I apparently have to call them to have the 2 hour window added as I chatted and asked and I don’t have the calendar they were talking about.

Also when I go on the website it says something about verifying payment info to see full tracking details but it already tells me the account is added. Ugh
