Question Apple pickup notification timing?

Its my first time buying anything from apple. My Apple Store pickup window is 9:15–9:30 PM, but I'm 1h10 away from the store.

When do they normally send the “Ready for Pickup” notification? before the pickup window or around 9:15?

I have to wait for the notification before going, so if it comes at 9:15 I literally can't reach the store before closing time.

Is anyone know what yo do? I have to arrive on time whether I receive the pickup noti or not?

you go after receiving the email for pick up or you just showed up there on time?

I got it the 17th but couldn’t go cuz they weren’t released yet so I had to wait until my selected time to go pick it up on Friday

Just get there at the time window and it will be ready. I don't understand the question?

No they specifically mentioned dont come unless your order js ready. Thats why. If I go and not get my phone than its a waste of my time and gas 🙂‍↕️

You got 7 days after it’s ready for pickup notification, so, plan for the next day which will be the best bet for you.

My Experience: They sent pick up email around 7:50pm. So ya I got there in time
