It's funny, my work day flies by because of meetings and projects and all that. However, this week is seemingly dragging on in the evenings. Hell I even went to bed early a few nights because all I've been doing is sitting on these forums and tracking phones lol!
That's what making it go by so slow haha. This year I only came to this thread once a day starting Sunday. Week flew by!
 
We have porch pirates brazenly following UPS and FedEx trucks. It is disgusting!

sadly, very true. The porch pirates will literally be following delivery trucks tomorrow. I think a lot of drivers watch for this, but they are so busy there is not much they can do and law enforcement cannot watch for much of it either. Bad guys know there is almost no chance of getting caught, and even if they ar caught, in many areas it is no more than a slap on the wrist. 😢😡😢😡
 
More than likely they’re able to single out individual product being shipped electronically and tag it to you. It’s amazing how logistics has changed through the years. More than likely, one location just lost a device allocated to them, but in the eyes of Apple, they sold a device while it was still in the air.
Makes sense. There was still launch date pickup at the closest store (which is still around an hour from me). So I was hoping I could get one. I’d love a whole documentary about their launch day logistics.
 
Just gotta say, pretty cool of Apple to pull through and get me a launch day Pro (graphite 128gb) after the Apple Card issues with the iUP. Originally had a date for late October. Never ended up getting the tracking number from China so it must've been some sort of extra phones or something.
Apple did the same for me! I tracked it from the link in the shipping notification and it is coming from Carlisle. PA. So it was some local stock.

Sure wish UPS would understand that I want to pick up my phones at a CC. Just got an email that both my phones are still being sent to my address even though customer support said they put in the request a few days ago.
If they put in the request in, I would not worry too much about it. It's when it's at the destination scan, they will see that the request was made and hold it for you to pick it up.
 
Let's go bay bay!

I’m doing pick up instore but yet the name of the person who has to pick up is the carrier holder… so technically who should be going. Me who ordered it or him?

I guess both can go but his pick up is at a later time.
Im hoping the store can just give both orders at the same time.

anyone know how they organize the pick ups. Are they in the back organized by time or name. Cause maybe they can give us both.

@jamie j. Both of them, really! I’m in NY so my delivery time frame is “by 7pm”. Hoping it’s much sooner!
Nice. Yep, they are both classics!

Yeah, I got the UPS email that says by 7PM as well. I have gotten UPS as late as 9:30PM in the past so that's better at least. I will say the last few years my iPhones have been here by early afternoon (2ish). Hoping for the same tomorrow. Of course, every big vehicle on earth will drive by my house all day so I'm constantly jumping up outta my office chair and running to the window. :p
