Great news, the initial 17-24 delivery now says 6th per UPS! Apple must have more units ready than they let on.
Sheesh am I the only 17-24 delivery window that’s seen no movement in date of delivery? Lol Really hoping it changes, sooner than later. More for confirmation that everything is good to go, than anything else at this point.
 
Glad to see everyone getting one step closer to getting their hands on the iPhone X. This forum has been a great place for everyone of us to share information and stay abreast of developments.

However, I do have in mind a few suggestions to make this experience better for all of us. Once our shipments reach Louisville, everyone is posting departure scan for their respective location (including myself). This makes it hard for others to sift through pages of irrelevant posts to find something useful to them. I feel this megathread should be dedicated for sharing order updates and tracking info (until Louisville).

Post-Louisville tracking can continue by creating separate threads for each location, where users can pick up from where they left here. This makes tracking so much easier and will ensure each reader is following relevant posts. Let's be honest - once our shipments reach Louisville, most of us are concerned about their location specific tracking. I am not saying this is wrong nor am I complaining. I just feel it would be better to have 2 separate threads for this discussions.

Thoughts or ideas ?

What the heck?

I might've spoken too soon about the only scheduled flight from SDF to my local hub is later tonight around 2am.

I just got a departure scan... wonder where it's heading to...

So apparently the person I spoke to last night that told me my phone was already in KY lied to me. Below is the latest info. How can I find out what plane it’s on?? I don’t see any matching a departure time.

Mine is on this same route. UPS still says delivery of 11/03 for the East Coast. Not sure if that is still the case? Seems to be cutting it close!
 
Mine is on that one too. They have to fly out earlier, so they can drive out to west Texas. Wreck em!
I wouldn't be surprised if my phone isn't on one of the over night flights. It will go from DFW then probably to Mesquite for final sorting as I am on that side of town. You never know which UPS location will handle your packages here in the Metro.

Has anyone NOT a TMo customer and NOT on the iUP had their ship dates moved up yet? Specifically anyone in the 11/17-11/24 window?
I bought mine outright for ATT through apple.com, but not on iPhone upgrade program. I have also NOT seen any movement in my delivery window. More anxious than ever lol

The only scheduled flight from SDF to PVD is at 2:30am in the morning (arriving 7am in the morning at local airport).

UPS1054 - SDF -> BDL 2:31am departing SDF
UPS1038 - BDL -> PVD 7:05am arriving PVD

I guess I'll have to take a break now. See y'all tomorrow for the unboxing party!

After import scan, the departure now depends on where you are located and the schedule of their first flight out to your hub.

For example, the only flight from SDF Worldport to my local hub is later tonight at 2am so there won't be any movement until then for me.
Another New England person! Still waiting on departure to BDL. Do you think it would really get flown to PVD? Seems quicker to just drive to local CC?

Agree. I am trying to get a basic answer and all I see are scans. We get it your item is in route. I’m trying to find out process with in store pickup. Has anyone had this move beyond in progress and how long ahead of window are you alerted items are ready. Third time posting betting no response again

Something similar happened to me with the 7+ (or 6?). Spoiler alert: they delivered on time.

A little insight for anyone living in Chicago or the burbs like I do. Here is the tracking info for the iPhone 8 just a few months ago.

You’re not alone. Did you paid full-price? So far that’s the pattern I’m seeing for those their order delivery date got improved.
 
Hello all. Been lurking on this thread following all the updates, but wanted to chime in because thanks to all your input I am now staring at my computer screen watching the little plane move across the map. LOL.

My iPhone X is almost home to Miami. Bienvenido a Miami.

Anyone in Portland know which route our phones are taking? Mine's still in Louisville.

I am sorry that you havent gotten your response. This is exactly the reason for my previous post. Everyone is excited ( which they should be ) and post his/her tracking. So your message gets missed easily. If someone takes an hour break from following this conversation, they will see 5-7 pages worth of posts. I highly doubt that one would go over it word by word and post by post. They skim through it and catch on whats interesting/useful to them, which again is completely fine. But breaking this thread down into tinier threads would help everyone get the info they need.

To answer your question - I have done a store pick up only once and that was for the AirPods. I ordered for pick up and got an email 2 hours before my pickup time stating its ready. I highly doubt its the same in your case as its launch day tomorrow.

Sorry I meant that if you paid full price the order is not getting shipping date improvements.
