I haven't lost all hope yet. Hoping to see movement by Wednesday night or Thursday morning. I have "next day shipping" , we will see.
Got a tip for us?

I tried contacting Apple again about getting mine to "next day shipping" and they still weren't willing to do it and kept denying the fact that anyone got theirs bumped up even after me attempting to show him proof. Im stuck at Sept 23-Oct 3
I'm even holding out hope for Thursday evening.
Probably not. My watch is said to be here "By the 16th" and left China only a few hours ago.
Why ya gotta crush my hope?
I just thought maybe they were already made and waiting at the hub, and the dates were long on purpose since they wouldn't know how to gauge demand of the new color. Then when they break them out this week to ship, everything will advance quickly.
Was just a thought.
Should build hope! Means there's still time they can ship and get here in time!
I think it's also important to add that my watch is processing to ship, I found my watch tracking number on the UPS site. Apple has not declared it as shipped yet.
doesn't everything ordered from apple in regards to iphone have next day shipping
Yeah, good point you never know. After that though,I rest my case. Haha
Yes, which is why it's funny to see all of these people calling and paying to have their shipping bumped. They already are getting the fastest shipping speed, but the comfort of seeing a closer delivery window (when it would probably have arrived during or before then anyways) must be worth the cost of "expedited" shipping.
I tried to get my phone expedited for the comfort of the date listed on the orders page. They told me I couldn't do it
To be fair to the "expedited" crowd, I think, at least for some folks, those bumps were comped.
Had my shipping bumped for free from 9/26-10/3 to 9/17-9/24. Still processing. But am hoping it does get here on the 16th.
It doesn't make sense to me either. He kept saying even if they were bumped it, there's a small chance it was because availability was better than they expected but he doesnt even see that as a good reason and continued to deny anyone made the change for them.
Yup- didn't cost a thing. Rep did it without question. Agreed to it right away.
No one is paying for expedited shipping but yes it does give us comfort even if it doesn't make a difference. However, if it does make a difference, then we know what we can do for next year. I'm not saying everyone go and start calling Apple when the new iPhone comes out next year lol. I currently give up though, I can already tell it's not in my fate to have my shipping date bumped on paper.
Last year my phone was at a hub before it shipped. My tracking never showed any China anything, it came straight from the US. That is what I am hoping happens with this one and that's why I still have some hope of a Friday delivery. If I don't have shipping info by Friday morning I will finally lose hope and settle in for whenever it shows up.
I think that's because they know you're already getting the fastest shipping speed. The reps upgrading people to "expedited" shipping I'm guessing are simply misinformed. Whatever the case may be, I'm leaving my order as it sits. The last thing I need is for a CSR who doesn't know what they're doing to go in there and accidentally bump it back some more.I tried to get my phone expedited for the comfort of the date listed on the orders page. They told me I couldn't do it
I'll be in the same boat with you. I'm going to stay hopeful till Friday morning but if there's still no movement by then, I will begin the 5 stages of grief.

It was launch day on my order but I didn't get any tracking info until Thursday.
I was looking at my order for my space gray 6+ 2 years ago.. I put the order in at 5:37 ET (i snoozed my alarm) on September 12. I got a delivery date of October 1 - October 6...
On September 19th I got a shipping email with an arrival date of September 29th.
It sure seems like this will be he same scenario for us October 4 - October 10th people waiting for 7+ JB.. I guess it's not a total waste.. still waiting on my skin and case to arrive.

My hope is mostly gone, but have had an iphone ship overnight straight from a hub before, so not unusual. I think we would know that by Thursday afternoon/night. Guess we will know soon.
