Same 2-3 week estimate as last year, received a week (9-24) after launch. Would’ve been 9-23 but it wanted to see the world before coming to California

So there wasn’t a group between us and the launch group last year?

So anybody else stuck waiting till December?

i couldnt order through T-mobile cos they want half the price as a down payment, so apple iUP was my only choice

I was kinda on the fence about the X until I saw more videos of it this morning, so I just ordered around 10am CST. Apple is showing me an estimated delivery of 12/12-12/17. I'm hoping that moves up a bit, lol.

when i ordered my apple watch series 0, my December date did not move up. i think we are stuck waiting lol. i ordered 3 hours after the store went up on friday, dec 12/11-12/18. not sure why mine has the possibility of arriving a day after yours when i ordered Way ahead of you :c

Not 100% sure, I didn’t start reading this stuff until the whole China, South Korea, Hong Kong debacle. I just remember being in Lake Tahoe and shocked my card got charged so soon.

I’d be coughing up blood and physically sick.

Haha yess, a reference those of us who’ve been on this thread a few days will get

 

[applebro]

I decided to give it another 24 hours. If it's still pending by that point, I'm def canceling the request.

yeah i think i'm right there with ya on that lol. I took this friday off so i can enjoy the phone all day. it would really suck if it got delayed because of holding at UPS CC till monday or something

 

[Elyphant]

Here in the 11/17-24 group looking at all this movement for launch day, little disappointing the store issues caused this. I stayed up and all. I cursed Tim when the store didn’t open on time on the app lol.

I'm in the same boat, LOL. What's worse I ordered from ATT as well as a backup and I'm getting that on launch day but I can't open it because it's getting sold

Does anyone recall last year when the people in the next batch after launch started seeing any kind of movement? Last year I was in the Oct. 4-11 group but got my phone on 9/24. As I recall, we started seeing movement (cc charges, moving to Preparing for Shipment, etc.) the weekend after launch. But wasn’t there a group between us (Oct. 4 - 11) and launch day folks? If so, when did they start seeing progress? It appears that my group (Nov. 17 - 24) this year is next after launch group so based on last year, when do you think we’ll start seeing any kind of movement?

I spoke to an Apple rep over chat today and she said they're moving estimated delivery dates but they can't promise anything as of right now. Maybe in the next couple of days we'll get moved up a week! Fingers crossed we'll only be a week (or less hopefully) late from launch date LOL.

I spoke with a friend tonight that works at UPS. She said she work verify in the morning, which by then we may already know the answer, but she thought the route was CGO - HKG - ANC - SDF

There are two flights 11 and 10 hours from now according to my estimation that fly hkg- anc operated by ups

I guess we’ll find out, I’m not too bothered by it, I knew I would be waiting when I didn’t preorder as soon as the store went online. I’m definitely hoping we get bumped up though.

That’s what I’m hoping. I’m home Nov. 4-7 between trips. It’d be great if it arrived during then. My fear is it’ll arrive on the 8th and I’m not able to pick it up until the 14th and by then they’ll send it back. I’m assuming I’m only one who can sign for it? I guess worse case scenario is I’ll leave the dreaded pre-signature Apple form on my front door if it looks to arrive while I’m out of town and have a friend dash over and grab it for safe keeping after delivery.

Awesome, maybe we’ll see some movement soon!

Based on this, the next group after launch might start seeing progress the day before launch with delivery early or mid next week.

 

[Christocentric]

My regular UPS guy told me to just show up at the local UPS Hub Friday at 7:30am when he fills up his truck and he’ll just give it to me then instead of waiting for him to deliver. I guess it’s worth a shot. It’s only a 5 minute drive away.

 

[Lobwedgephil]

These are all the inbound flight phones are traditionally on, guess the are full of phones heading to Apple stores, etc since no one had movement today. We should start seeing movement tomorrow now.

There’s a 4:20 pm Cathay pacific flight from cho to Hong Kong. It’s a 747

 

[FunkyTang]

Pic? I’m pending receipt of mine as well. What color did you get?!

I bought this one around the X announcement time.

 

[Stlcheer]

Anyone order an At&T phone from Apple get launch day delivery? If so next or iup or cash?

I did. I used NEXT.

 

[BluPrynt78]

I did. I used NEXT.

Same here, ATT and used NEXT.

Glad to come back to this thread and see that my phone isn't the only phone still in CN....I will take comfort in that...for now...

Mine is 11/27

My birthday was yesterday

 

[Alshujibi]

Anyone had any movement from China?

 

[buck1127]

Anyone had any movement from China?

Not yet I keep checking

 

[AJsAWiz]

I still cannot believe I ordered at 3:08am eastern and got 11/17-11/24 shipping window, when att still had launch day available at 6:30am!! Wtf, last year I ordered from att at 3:05 and couldn’t get launch day so went with Apple this year. Can’t win

Which model (color/capacity) did you order?

WOW! I stayed up on the 27th and finally got through 3o minutes after release, 12-5 to 12-12 delivery date. I could have gotten some sleep and waited! FWIW, I also ordered Gray 256 gb from Apple.

 

[tdar]

I’ll be happy whenever I get any tracking movement... at all! Lol

I'll be happy on Friday when it's in my hand.

Almost 36 hours with no movement. Is this normal?
