Yeah, I hope not. My package is in Louisville already but the option still shows as restricted / not allowed by shipper.
Got a tip for us?

"Y'all having fun over there? Knock it off!"
I just tried again, I'm showing the same restrictions on my end, too. Sucks. My neighbor will be home all day, so I'll redirect the package to his house. Problem solved...Yeah, I hope not. My package is in Louisville already but the option still shows as restricted / not allowed by shipper.
Try buying a BMW, with options not available on the dealer lot. You can track your car from the actual assembly line in Munich, Germany (and get a photo of your car on the assembly line), then from Munich to your cargo ship at Bremen,
and then follow your car on a giant cargo ship for 3 weeks across the ocean.
Or you can go about your life and wait till your dealer calls and tells you your car just came in.
Similar thing here.
I think I would like to join as well. The peel clear case seems tempting (i.e., I just placed an order for it). One broken phone after going caseless brought me to the case life. But clear is the only way to go for #teamblue.
Yeah, I feel like we're regressing. But that's a topic for another thread altogether
That's exactly what I did with my BMW, except it came out of Spartanburg. It's fun to watch where it is along the way. Actually, the car was built it one day.
An update for those who want to request UPS to hold your package: I called Apple per UPS's suggestion that Apple are the ones who placed restrictions on orders from Apple which started sometime a few weeks/months ago this year.
We should take this as a grain of salt but the Apple representative informed that there was an increase of activity that they could not control and that they indeed placed restrictions due to thefts from internally at UPS with requesting holds at hubs and external folks taking advantage of the UPS Hold my package location.
However, per the Apple Customer Service rep, Apple CS will have the ability to remove restrictions if requested by the customer only when the order status at Apple reflects as "on route" to customer with a tracking no. Only Apple can make this request on behalf of the customer.
Looping the community in as I know many folxs pick-up at UPS hubs. Let's hope this is the case. I'll keep everyone updated.

Where is your Apple Polishing Cloth 😫
They look the same in this photo. I think they look different in some photos because the glass is slightly curved now, the reflections of that curve throw off the perspective of the bezels depending on the lighting.
This is the way! Getting no work done at work this week. I’m convinced.
What is you doin' Apple CS?! You folks are in for a world of hurt ...
I love you for showing me this. Was definitely just an illusion of the other image!They look the same in this photo. I think they look different in some photos because the glass is slightly curved now, the reflections of that curve throw off the perspective of the bezels depending on the lighting.
Anyone know if it's possible to locate UPS tracking info for a preorder being shipped to an Apple store for pickup?
no because they wont have our names on em until they get to the store.
Aren’t the restrictions in place because the package has not had its “import scan” yet? I genuinely don’t know. I always had to wait for the import scan before I could make changes with how the package is picked up.
I was wondering the same thing lol. We're desperate.
I've done full presentations today with the FlightAware Screen in the background......
Almost all orders going out are from a few minutes past 8. I doubt at 23 mins we'll get the phones on release. I am hoping to get them in Sept though.
It is possible to track freight though. But we have no idea what the reference numbers would be.
Thanks for the heads up. We have plenty of time to hang out at the Terminal. Let’s go!!
