Other Apple.com /Apple Store app iPhone X/8/8 plus Pre-order and Dispatch thread

I think there were 3 planes planned for the US and only two left so far. One from ZZ and one from HK

Now Apple is realizing that the last plane (no.3) won’t make it to the states in time so they are sending out delay emails.

Idk if I’m right, but if I am then it doesn’t matter if you are the first person to get your order in for release day shipping, or last person to sqaeak into release day shipping.

I was trying to do Apple store pickup on 11/3. During my search (that didn’t work out with the color I wanted) the shipping slipped back to 1-2 weeks. I submitted my order to ship before I wasted any more time.

Now I’m going to be hated: on Sunday I got an update that my phone would arrive on 11/3 and my card was billed. On Monday I got a UPS notification with my shipment from Foxconn.

So it’s a lottery your plane will leave on time once your pooled into a ship date


FYI: The color I didn’t want was available for store pickup over and hour later at my closest store a short drive away.

Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong 11/01/2017 10:51 P.M. Departure Scan

Hmm, should that have landed in Alaska by now?

 

[MikeMAC827]

So will those of us on the ZZ to Anchorage to Louisville route get an arrival scan in Kentucky tonite? Mine still says "departure scan Anchorage 10/31" ..... =(

I don’t want to risk getting a delay for pick up.

Then have it shipped to a UPS Customer Center (NOT STORE) near you. You can pick it up in the morning when they open.

My iPhone X is officially an American Citizen!!!

What’s next from here?

 

[SamGabbay]

I turned on notifications for my cell phone yet I haven't got any text ?? Did I do something wrong

These aren’t UPS texts. This is from a program I built to text me updates.

Oh dang it :/

You wont it takes two minutes and ups walks you through it.

I believe they meant getting a delivery/shipping/pick up delay. Like having the package available for pick up after the 3rd because they opted for the UPS pick up instead.

 

[zims2730]

To the experts - have a November 16th-24th delivery date, order just changed to "preparing for shipment" and credit card was charged. Any chance I'll get my phone on Friday!?

 

[deadworlds]

Well CPA3284 has missed its scheduled takeoff.

Assuming that they are open in the morning (some are not).

I think next year I am buying some extra iPhones on pre-order and selling them on eBay brand new. People pay money for those things!

I just had mine held for pick up at a customer Center about 2 hrs ago. No delays or exceptions listed on the tracking.

Forgot to mention, while the status changed, the expected delivery dates remain the same. Maybe I'm being too anxious?

Last night, NCR628 also missed its scheduled departure but still arrived at SDF safely almost 30 min after its ETA.

Wait what?!? Seriously? I have that shipment range. Were you really charged? Did you try the UPS track by reference thing?! You just gave me new hope that i may get my phone soon! What time did you order your phone?

 

[Joker45]

Well CPA3284 has missed its scheduled takeoff.

Just took off a minute ago.

I’m in the exact same boat too. But there’s no way it’ll be here on Friday right?? Maybe early next week?

 

[deadworlds]

I think this happened to me once, apple will show the later expected delivery but UPS will have the correct one. Apple will most likely update those dates once they mark it as Shipped.

Not kidding... But, don't know what it means yet - if anything. Counting on you guys.

Oh I guess I posted too soon then.

and people like you only help exacerbate the problem.

I feel you bro! I am sure there are several others who are just waiting for that to happen. It should happen tonight or tomorrow morning at the latest.

I get the fear, but as long as they select a UPS CC location the date stays the same. They even put the locations hours and the pickup date before you confirm the change.
