Thanks Buck! Still shows in China on UPS, hasn't departed, and shipping in process on apple. I just wanna see it move!

Side note, I have a job where I work from home but am on call. If I have to go to a call will my husband be able to sign for my phone? Same last name. Do I need to call UPS and have them put a note on the account?
All ups needs is anyone to sign for it. or you can just leave a note saying please leave the package (if no one is home)
 
Anyone’s Apple case shipped yet? Mine is still PFS with delivery on Wed.

Same here, nothing. Couldn't find it even with a reference number hack, although I was able to find my iphone X...

You can authorize it to be released without a signature on the UPS website

He will be able to sign for the package. UPS just needs someone to sign.

I know that - that's why I was asking this guy if that's what his brother did because he said it was delayed by a day

From past experience I’ve made changes to Hold For Pickup anywhere from when it first hits MyChoice up to a day before it was to be delivered without any issues (when doing it same day it’s been delayed but I’m usually able to go pick it up at the CC if needed, just need to call them) - but again it depends on the particular UPS Location and how they process it.
 
10/29 12:57's hopefully we move today.

also important to note for any newbies, DO NOT request hold at a UPS store, it could cause a delay, only request to a CC

I go into UPS to change my delivery to pick up at a UPS location here in St. Louis. The first location that displays is our main UPS CC, but it is grayed out and listed as unavailable, but all the other locations listed thereafter are UPS stores and are all available. That seems odd. I've picked it up at the CC last time and never had any issues. Maybe does it have to get into UPS hands or the United States before that option becomes available?
 
If your order has not shipped yet is it possible to change the delivery address?
Pretty sure the only thing you can do is have it held at UPS (ideally a UPS Customer Centre/HUB). I don't think they'll let you change the delivery address after the fact as that will raise a billing flag.

Just call them and have them change it for you to the CC.
 
Another question for you guys: I have two numbers on my ATT account. I had problems ordering with my number so I ordered it under my wife's. However, I paid in full and with no contract or anything will I have any issues activating the phone under my number when it arrives instead of hers? Do I just need to switch the sim with my current sim card in my iphone 7 plus?

You have two options, you can activate the phone which will deactivate her sim, in which case you'd just need to swap sims from her old and new. Or, just pop in your old sim so that hers isn't deactivated.

You need to call AT&T before you power it on so they can change the parked activation of the SIM from your wife’s number to yours.

[doublepost=1509386126][/doublepost]when the F are we leaving ZZ, i know there is a post above but can anyone tell me in eastern time what that means? I was hoping at 12-1pm eastern meaning 12am - 1am China time. I am clearly having iphone 7 plus JB anxiety with ZZ and Incheon flashbacks
 
I feel like we will move today for sure bc UPS standard delivery has this package coming to me at
Delivery Date and Time Sender and Tracking # Status/Manage
Tue, Oct 31
7:00 PM

but on my tracking page it says friday, that probably means they will be held in KY, but should be in KY by Tuesday morning.

Terrific. Thanks. Since she'll be out of town, I'll do the latter so as not to mess with her service.
 
is this standard operating procedure for a CC hold? Does it update once clears customs or just stay that way until ready for pickup? MOST BIZARRE Thing ever, three different dates.

I was banging away when preorders went live but didn't get through until about 35 minutes after orders started. Apple store says 5 weeks with a December 5-11 delivery date. (AT&T, 256GB, space gray)

Do you guys think this is accurate or do you think the phone will be shipped out closer to launch? I remember a similar situation happening when I preordered the 6+ and it was saying 3-5 weeks, but I ended up getting it on launch day.
