Hopefully those people didn't have Apple Stores nearby. Otherwise I don't get opting for literally running after a UPS truck over a casual walk into an Apple Store for a scheduled pickup.
Got a tip for us?

Ups systems should be smart enough that it does not need to require apt or unit before an address as i have had many packages sent to my apartment without unit or apt.
But this is ups we are talking about. It took me almost two months of constant nagging to get them to fix the issue with my chiocd that was preventing me from Even registering/ signing up in the first place
How are you counting Wave groups. So far they are all just collecting at the Airport since we have not had a further scan than Arrived at Facility at ZhengZhou, CN.
Right now it looks like Truck waves until the next step starts posting in UPS.

Yeah. Even though the closest Apple Store to me is an hour and a half away, I'd still drive there than chase down a delivery driver.
Still look like since this morning when I track via order number or phone number 😡😡
And this might just be me having an old man yells at clouds moment -- but unless you don't have an Apple Store nearby, then I don't agree with bogging up UPS Stores and Customer Service Centers by changing to pickup delivery. If you have an Apple Store nearby, and can't be home for delivery, then schedule a pickup time at the Apple Store.
Hunting down the UPS van, that sounds like a really good idea, lmao..
I have a tracking number showing up in the UPS App.

Well,
Second iPhone, PM 256 that I ordered and paid full price for finally has a label created for it, and the first phone, the one I have on installments is part of wave one.
I ordered the second one because my pre-pre-order on the first one said my pre-order card had expired so I just quickly made a second order. I didn’t mess with canceling the order because I was starting my shift at work and Didn’t really have the time to.
I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue 🤪

I might do a shortcut when I’m riding, to open and close my garage door using MYq.
You said it.
Never had to wait this long for things to update when I got in so fast on the Apple Store app yesterday. I commented right after that that it was the fastest I ever got in and checked out. It was awesome, but this is now the opposite and it's the longest I've ever had to wait to see any kind of progress with the phone shipping. It's crazy!!Ooh apparently there’s an ethics of iPhone ordering now.
UPS makes money when you choose to have held at a CC. Not only do they literally charge for the option now, it removes your house from the route. If they didn’t want to make free money while letting the customer do more of the work, they wouldn’t offer it.
Gonna respectfully decline to obey your order. And not feel any guilt while doing so. Hopefully the UPS gods still let me past the pearly gates to pick up my phone.
This is the earliest I've ever received a tracking number. Having one is good for folks' piece of mind.I have a tracking number showing up in the UPS App.

Finally got home after a very long day at Six Flags.
My FineWoven case delivered and my first impressions of are that it does have a rain coat like feel to it but more on the soft side. It makes a vinyl like sound when I rub my fingers back and forth across it.
As far as quality goes, only time will really be able to tell that. It may hold up fine or it may teardown quickly.
It definitely is inferior to the leather cases and does not feel like it is worth $60.
I think had Apple introduced this alongside the leather instead of replacing it, at a lower price, people probably wouldn't dislike it as much.
Also, did I miss anything important in the thread? Too many pages to read through.
I did receive my iPhone tracking number early this morning.

You all are really going to think I’m a nerd. So I watch BigJetTV, Jerry just happened to be in Anchorage a couple years ago. So I got to watch my cargo flight, and track it at the same time.
I’m still almost 100 pages behind. Trying my best to catch up but I have a tracking number. It’s .40KGS with a label created at 10:42AM. I think that’s my Blue Titanium iPhone 15 Pro Max but I also ordered a Series 9 watch as well so I could be wrong. I can’t remember the weight differences. Very excited to start tracking though.
so any update on purchasing iphones from the site or app and doing in-store pick-up? It's still greyed out for me
I just opened my clear case, but I find it funny that Apple put all this emphasis on their environmental goals and they shipped a single case in a plastic bubble envelope lol. They could've used a cardboard mailer for that. And lots of non-plastic options for padding.
You? A nerd? Just watch this thread in a few days if you want to see the epitome of nerdity. 😆
It’s a UPS Security measure. If you have a UPS account and sign in, it may/should give you more detail. Or if you have the full tracking number through another source (of which Apple won’t tell you until the phone is in KY already), UPS is trying to protect your package info.Still look like since this morning when I track via order number or phone number 😡😡
