11/3 Apple Store App order, still "preparing to ship" and no sign of the shipment on UPS MyChoice or tracking my reference....no need to worry though right? I don't want to be super paranoid lmao
 
To the people asking if they should be worried and their status is Preparing for shipment: If by Thursday evening your phone hasn’t shipped, you can worry then ;)

Last year UPS got my iPhone 7+ from China to Florida in less than 24 hours.

If your status is processing, you still shouldn’t be worried, but I’ll call my bank to see if they haven’t declined any charges form Apple just to be sure.

There’s still plenty of time for the orders to process and deliver on time.

Anyone know how to change the UPS order to be held at a CC? My shipment is showing up on UPS tracking but it won't let me change the delivery even after I log into myups. Should I just call them tomorrow instead? Figured doing it online was easier

I wouldn’t worry. We see it every year.

I’m wondering as well
 
I was in the T-Mobile 11/10-11/17 group at first , then I got bumped to 11/3 , now it’s showing up in my ups app.. needless to say , I’m very much relieved. Now I’m just waiting for my silicone case to ship on 11/1. Friday can’t come soon enough!! :D

Any Tmo orders that showed 17-24 delivery date been bumped up to an earlier delivery slot?
 
Can someone explain how the departure scan in ZhengZhou was at 12:30am and the arrival scan at 12:57am? I’m not concerned about my phone, I’m sure it will arrive on the 3rd, I’m just curious about the timing of the scans.

Mine looks almost the exact same with the X. The top two lines are identical to mine.

This happened with the 7 Plus launch last year where the locations and time frames didn't add up. Once it leaves China, everything will start making more sense.

I’m still on order in progress very worried :( what it’s the limit to ship and get my X on 03-11???

Evening of Nov-02... even then, only maybe. This happens every year. If they say Nov-03, it'll be Nov-03. Easy for me to say, I know, but I've been in your shoes.

Is it safe to go ahead and request the hold at the UPS CC or should I wait until Apple has put up the trackin number and officially marked it shipped on their own site or something?

Always do it ASAP whenever you get tracking, coming from past experiences.

You do it too late, it will end up delaying your order. They fill up trucks with orders in the late and early hours of the night and morning, respectively. If you request holding it early on, they know to separate your order from the others once it arrives at the destination facility.

Just to clarify, this is for UPS warehouses. If you’re picking up at a store, you’re better off just having it go to your home.

But technically Apple hasn’t given out the tracking info. I found it myself and it’s still in China. I should request the hold now?
 
Makes sense, since they bifurcated the delivery dates for 8 and X. I have friends who got the 8 who've already had their phones for weeks, so they aren't on MacRumors following the threads.

I'm excited to be able to look into it and have it wake up while I'm cooking from a recipe without having to touch the button and risk getting crap in there.

Should have started a new thread
