Requesting hold at location for UPS shipments possible?

I have a MB Pro in transit with UPS and I was wondering if it's possible to hold it at a UPS location or if that option is unavailable for Apple shipments. I was thinking of having it sent to a corporate location for pickup instead of an independent UPS Store.

Apple store pickup So at the Apple store near mine there is usually an appointment system for people lining up to purchase products, does that mean I would need to book an appointment for pickup as well or do you simply just go there on the day indicated and pick up at any time?

UPS delivery issues? (UK) I had a poor experience with Apple and UPS on delivery of an imac. The delivery was due 2 weeks after the order date. I tried to contact UPS / Apple to confirm a date where i would be at home to receive the package. No such functionality appeared to exist. UPS then tried to deliver a couple of times on a day when i was at work. On the next day (when i was at home) UPS claimed to Apple that they had delivered - although i was at home the entire day and my security camera shows that they didn’t attempt delivery. From subsequent paperwork it is clear that the imac went back to the local UPS depot. When I raised with Apple, they told me it would take 5 business days just to investigate the issue, even before giving a new date for delivery - despite the fact the imac was sat at the local depot. I’d have happily driven there to pick it up! There seems to be a huge disconnect between Apple and UPS in resolving a very simple issue. In the end, my only way of gaining certainty on my imac deliver was to get a refund and reorder. Very disappointing!

What happens if my product is available for in-store pickup too early? Hello, I ordered a MacBook from Apple Online Store. I chose specific day to place my order so that my product is available for pickup at Apple Store on the 18th of September. I’m planning to go there on the 20th, but I wanted to make sure it is ready by then. Today, on the 2nd of September, I saw that my device is already being shipped to the store. What would happen if it becomes available for pickup way too early? I will not be in the same city where the store is until the 18th. Or maybe the shipment will really take so many days as it is a special configuration?

I think your best bet at this point in time, is to contact UPS directly to see if you can change the delivery destination. It will really depend on where it currently is in the process, and whether or not, UPS can accommodate your request.
