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.
Thanks for going the extra mile in calling and updating.

I'm going to wait till it clears customs and try UPS CS and see what they say at that point.

I received my storm blue silicone case today via UPS. I love the color. There are many shades of navy and it is my second favorite. One shade lighter than my favorite, which is almost black navy. The fine woven blue is too light. A nice color though. I can't believe a silicone case is $49. Or that the fine woven is $59.
The cases are pretty but the prices are up there aren’t they? I’m hoping the silicone has been improved. Right now I just have some inexpensive placeholder cases until I’m sure I can keep the phone. If I can, then the real shopping will begin!

My shipment progress for my White titanium 256. No information still on my iPhone 15 pink 128 or my Apple Watch . This week is moving too slow.

Mine did yesterday morning finally but still just says "Label created". I guess it really doesn't need to be picked up before tomorrow otherwise UPS is on the hook for holding it until delivery.
Are the watches shipping from the US this year or is the origin China like the phones?

I've never had a silicone case before. What was wrong with it? Does it stain and smudge easily? Wear out?

I already have my Spigen hybrid clear case. I did not like the volume up and down or power button on the one for my 12 pro. These ones are much better. I don’t mind the circle and a line so I got the MagSafe version

They've improved a lot. I'm not using MagSafe at all this time so I just got the traditional liquid crystal case without the MagSafe ring and a pop socket (and pop socket mount for my car).
