Terry:

Terry:
Ok, one moment, while I look for you.
Me:

Terry:

Me:
The apple store app
Terry:
What is your email address tied to the order number ?
Me:

Terry:
Ok, looks like the device is scheduled to ship out between Oct 8-11.
Terry:
It shows that is was available to ship in 7-10 business days
Terry:
But not actually that it would ship in 7-10 business days,
Me:
It says it will be Delivered on those days.. for it to be delivered then
it have to be shipped soon?
Me:
wouldnt it*
Terry:
Yes, do the device is scheduled to be delivered on October 8-11
Terry:
Which means that the device has shipped already.
Me:
So if it shipped already why havent i gotten shipping notification?
Terry:
You should be getting a tracking notification once the carrier has processed it, we do not have any control over that.
Terry:
Once the shipping carrier has processed it, it will be sent directly to you.
Me:
ok
Terry:
But I do show that in order for the device to be delivered to you, it has to be shipped already.
Me:
will the ups china holiday affect my package delivery status
Terry:
Only if that is a holiday that the carrier acknowledges.
Terry:
Their website should also post any delays due to federal changes and holidays.
Me:
Is apple working through the holiday in China?
Terry:
We are always here in some form.
Terry:
Some departments shut down.
Terry:
But never all.
Me:
The department that controls the iphone shipments is what im referring to sorry.
Terry:
That department has fulfilled the shipment for you already, so now it is up to the carrier to get the device to you.
Me:
Okay
Terry:
Therefore, from here on out, all updates will come from the carrier.
Terry:
But you will be notified of changes or delays,
Me:
Do you have a tracking number for this order?
Terry:
Not quite yet.
Terry:
Once we get it, it will be emailed to you.
Terry:
To the email address you provided.
Me:
Okay Thank you..
Terry:
You are most welcome!!!
