Apple Support is correct, it is not just a claim. If you purchase online for delivery, your are required to send it back. You can't return it to a retail store.

I thought I’d read reports from some people who said they were able to get the store to take it.

Pretty much worked out in the end. We’ve got our new devices, ended up activating, transferring and trading all last night at the store. I cannot say it was a smooth process, but it’s done.

I keep accidentally pressing the new (for us) button. Action button I think they call it? Camera control button. At least I didn’t assign anything to it.

You can set the CameraControl to activate on a double-click to avoid pressing accidentally.

Going to order a 17, probably in Sage for my mum. Delivery will take around 2 to 3 weeks if ordered today.
Delivery dates may change due to supply chain, Storage & demand.
Been waiting for my 17 Pro & Max Silver 1TB for more than a month now even though order was placed as soon as pre-Order opened. was promised delivery launch day till it change to October 10-17 and I'm still awaiting

Probably. Don't know why your's was delayed. My Orange 256GB 17 Pro Max came within the delivery period mentioned initially.

I’ve just noticed a very slight change in my arrival date of the iPhone, which it is October 14-21st. Even though it’s still in the processing stage, there’s a notice above this that I can no longer cancel the item, which I had before. I believe this means this is beginning the process of preparing to ship. A good sign I believe. 😉

Yeah, as taynasoldera first discovered, availability is getting a little bit better. In many places, 256GB and 512GB Pro Maxes are mostly available, although scattered across several stores. I've found Orange 512GB Pro Maxes in Southern California, Northern California, and NYC.
I ended up cancelling my online order and, with the help of that link posted here (refreshing the page a few times an hour), I found a CO 512 GB close to me and picked it up Friday evening. Now, my old 14 PM is retired and I am happy to discover so many new features of my new 17 PM.
 
When you place your preorder as soon as it opened and had your original delivery date on launch day ! Pushing it to mid - late October is too long ! When most people got their orders shipped and/delivered already!
the post i replied to said nothing about having an original launch day delivery.

If you've been following G-Funk's saga, they placed an order minutes after pre-orders opened and initially got a release-day delivery schedule. However, they (and others!) have been screwed by Apple moving the delivery date from the 19th to Oct 10-17. At the time, that was the date people got if they placed an order that day -- basically, Apple kicked them to the end of the line.

Hopefully, G-Funk's order won't be further delayed, but I've heard of some people getting delayed by another week. Apple's really screwed the pooch this time.
 
For those that are interested……..

Delivery date between the 14th and 21st of October

Notified that process completed and preparing for shipment on the 13th approximately 7:10 PM

Approximately at 7:45 PM Florida time notified it was shipped from Tennessee and will arrive on the 14th (UPS)
