Ordered last night. Scheduled for Dec 12-19 but I'm hoping it comes forward by a few weeks as Apple gets more stock in.
 
Not long after the preorders opened the estimates changed to 5-6 weeks, but they haven’t gotten any worse. Anyone know why that is? Is there all of a sudden going to be a huge shift in stock or are less people preordering?
 
My UPS is showing that it'll be delivered the 31st, but then when I click to track its coming in the 3rd. Yes, I know about the hold and that I won't get it until the 3rd but its gonna be real hard knowing its sitting just on the other side of town for a few days 😕 On a side note... all of my packages are automatically held at the CC, couldn't really stop it in time... it's been working for me for years.
when do you put the request in, has there ever been a delay?

I'm on the same boat. I don't know how they will deliver on November 3 with only 3-4 days left
goes really fast trust us

I myself never do, it happens automatically. What I assume happens is the shipping label is created, and upon the first scan into the system it is redirected to the CC... kind of like when you put your mail on hold for a vacation. I’ve never not gotten the device on launch day.

Oh shoot! I did it early too! Why did he have to wait? Did he pick a CC or a UPS Store? Argh
[doublepost=1509368985][/doublepost]Would it not change the estimated date of delivery on the app in that case?
honestly, i have heard it cut both ways "i always request early bc if you dont then it will be delayed," "I always request later but on a certain day bc if you dont it will be delayed"
 
I am chatting with UPS asking about the hub's there are two in my town but I've check all packages that have been delivered to me in the past and HUB A is the destination scan and HUB B has always been an arrival/departure. So i went with Hub A, also the rep is useless but what else is new.

Update: my logic paid off, "That is the Distribution Center in charge of your area and your package is scheduled for delivery on 11/03. "

Me either. I’ve never had a problem and I usually do it as soon as my item ships. I’ve seen people who have waited to do it and have had their package delayed because it takes at least a day to process and solidify the change.
I have seen the same issue, with others who have waited until the last minute. I have done it multiple times as soon as I have a tracking number and I have never had an issue.
 
Anyone else have me as a cargo/transport buddy?

Guys, is there a way to find out whether your hold for pickup request has been successfully completed or still pending
 
I went back and looked at the iphone 7 thread and it seems like most people saw movement out of china and into AK on monday. So hopefully we see some movement later today.
