Darn... Was hoping it would feel more rubbery. The La Cantera Apple Store was too busy to see if they had a case out of the packaging somewhere.
Yes, I have along with a number of others have received notices that we will be getting our phones early next week. We have been bragging about it for the past 10 pages.
Ok, ok, ok. I know, I am late to party. I saw the email, got excited and just jumped in.
Yeah, that's what I was hoping as well. I ended up buying it anyway because I thought my phone was going to be arriving before my leather case and wanted something to protect the phone in the meantime; now I'll just compare them both on the phone and decide which one to keep then.
I do think a case with a good grip is important after messing around with the 6+; even with relatively large hands I was juggling it around a bit to reach the different corners of the phone one-handed.
Im In orlando as well.. Showing 9/25 as well.. Im wondering if theirs is saying standard shipping? Im calling Apple right now.. to see if they can change it to expedited
Now that it's already shipped they will just tell you there's nothing they can do. I wouldn't even bother calling; they likely have huge call queues right now being launch day and everything.
I'm in the same boat. I received a reserved spot at 425 am central time that I used it at 7 pm that night. I also placed an order at 430 that went thru and is now scheduled to arrive Monday. I ordered phones for both of my lines. They were both 7-10 day shipping. My reserved phone is still processing. I'm not complaining but the phone coming first is for my 78 year old dad. We both got the original iPhone , 3gs's ,5's and now the 6 plus on launch days. . I'll be excited just to see one.
Your right.. Just thought it was worth a shot.. I wasn't expecting the phone to ship this soon tbh
Anyone having trouble changing the day of shipment using My Choice on UPS? Every time I try to set it, it asks me to log in...even though I'm logged in already.
Addressing you both. I would imagine that by being able to add to the cart @1:15AM on 9/12 means your phone is reserved, but the fact that you didn't complete your final steps until the next day could just simply put you behind everyone else in terms of the "processing" queue. Unless Apple in conjunction with AT&T has some sort of intelligent processing system to kick yours above other folks after you complete "the next day"
And the fact that many people that have AT&T that ordered around the 1AM timeframe has already got tracking might be confirmation that they don't have an intelligent processing system.
Per request of shipper (Apple) the package cannot be delivered to another address. You can either wait for redelivery in Tuesday (3 attempts before it's returned), have it held and pick it up at the distribution center, or have it dropped off at a UPS Store or Access Point (that's the option I'm choosing). If you trust your neighborhood, you may be fine signing the release and having the driver leave it.
Does anyone have any tips for trying to get to sleep when you're excited.
Yes, take a xanax.
Im there with you, even called Apple and didn't help a bit (honestly didn't figure it would) She told me I would almost for certain see it before Oct 1. *shrugs* Kinda let down by them
Seriously? haha. Well, sorry to inform you that you will stay excited tonight. Watch unboxing videos and search for cases online that you want.
I work for Ups and this is how most local centers work. All of the Air deliveries for Monday actually get shipped to the building on Saturday. Tomorrow when I go into work all of the Monday Air packages are straight off the plane. We unload the Semi and sort all the Saturdays from the Mondays. If any iPhones come off that trailer for Monday we are upgrading and delivering tomorrow.
Just out of curiosity; any insight into why some of our phones are being shipped on this Saver plan while others are on the Expedited plan? It seems so random.
