As I said earlier, I have been at order in progress all the way thru the Thursday before launch day. Got the tracking info on delivery morning to sign the sheet. It happens. Have always gotten mine on the promised date.
I am traveling for work on that day and I am going to be in Phoenix Arizona. Typically, in Illinois when I am home, I pick it up at the UPS hub. However, the nearest hub is close to 30 miles away in Arizona but there is a UPS Store right down the street from my hotel. Would I be able to pick up my iPhone right when it opens that day or do they get deliveries throughout the day at the UPS Store for holds?
Eventually you will see it leave an airport. Then you check the flights at https://flightaware.com/live/iphone .
Mine still says "IN Progress" I guess it might not change for a while since I have a November 17-24 window for delivery :/
Have the exact same departure and arrival times in ZhengZhou!
Mines on the same flight apparently,gunna put myself in cryo sleep till Friday ,a lot less stressful
On UPS to find it by reference you can use:
Your phone # or
Order # without the last 2 digits

I’m in same boat as you. I think we likely won’t see our shipping dates change until hopefully late next week. Based on my experience last year, I’m guessing ours will start arriving between the 7th and the 10th. Last year I got my phone 10 days earlier than earliest estimated date. That was 11 days after launch, I believe. I’m hoping for the 7th as I’m on NYC vacation Nov. 8-13.
Mine has the same Origin Scan, Departure Scan, and Arrival Scan times as yours, the only difference is when the order was processed in China. Mines was processed the next day (10/29) at 1:18pm ET instead of 12:41pm on 10/28 like yours. Interesting...
This year went much smoother for me,possibly cause of apple upgrade program ,signed up with the 7plus last year ,got my preorder in bout 12:07am cause I couldn’t get thru,estimated delivery was 4-6 weeks out cause of jet black ,got it 2 weeks after launch so not too bad ,this time got thru at 12:03,had already been preapproved on Monday with the apple upgrade program,so I have no complaints other than my own anxiety I’m saddled with anyway which goes on overdrive in times like this ,my mind is capable of anything and it’s usually negative craziness,good luck to everyone else ,you’re shipping times will be shortened guaranteed just like my last 2 phones and 1st gen watch and air pods all came sooner than promised
Your delivery window will most likely not be bumped up to launch day, however there’s still a good chance you’ll get it a week after that.
