Re: Help me
If this is the first time you've ordered an iPhone online, I can understand your concern.
Having ordered several iPhones in the past, I would say not to worry about it, especially if Apple told you everything is going fine. There were times when I got all of the shipping info from when the package was shipped directly from China, to "in processing" up to the day it was delivered. I've been through it so many times that I don't worry about it anymore. I've always had mine delivered directly to my home, so I don't know how your experience will differ since you ordered yours for in-store pickup, but I wouldn't worry too much about it. I'm sure you'll get it on day 1!
As far as picking it up in-store, I stopped doing that a few years ago since the lines were insane and I'm the kind of person that hates waiting in a line for anything. lol.
Best of luck!
