My driver is delivering at the mall next to my house ... this is going to take a while.

My UPS guy stoppped in front of the building next to me and made deliveries to that building and the one across from that one before coming to my building. Was very difficult watching him load up his hand cart from my terrace for 20 minutes before he rang my buzzer. Still, I got it earlier than I normally see deliveries from UPS. Can’t complain. Very smooth process this year. Love putting it on wireless charger rather than plugging and unplugging it all the time.
 
Ugh anyone else having activation problems with AT&T? I called, gave my IMEI and ICCID numbers, told me in the system was activated. Restarted my iPhone X after a 1 minute as instructed but still can't get passed the activation screen. He said there was a glitch in the system and to wait 1 day. WTF?
 
I have been trying to activate my phone since 1:00. It is not working, such a bummer to have the phone but I can't do anything but look at it.

I had this problem because I didn’t have strong enough internet signal part of the drive home. Connect to WiFi or go to an area with 4g if you can.
 
Hi,

I browse through this site quite a bit, but figured I would finally get an account and join in on the fun. I am in the 11/16-11/24 group. I just wanted to let people know who are in that group that my status just changed to "Preparing for Shipment".

I hope that means a speedy process to my hands hehe

AT&T is tranferring me to Apple, we will see what they say
 
Has anyone had any luck picking up their shipment at the Tempe, AZ customer center? My package has been sitting at destination scan since 3am and nothing has changed.

Thought I'd jump on with my "anti" delivery day story.
Had phone held at CC center in Phoenix.
Phone arrived there at 3am
Opened at 8
Called UPS to make sure ready to pick up. "Yep they have it there.
" says UPS guy
Arrive at CC at 820
Only two people in front Awesome!
30 minutes later I'm up.
Hand her my ID
She turns and looks at table behind her at 5 boxes.
Then she says "it's not up here, want me to call you today or Monday when it gets up here from the back?"
WTF?
Driving back to work
No phone
I was laughing because I was thinking... I just watched you take 30 minutes to wait on 2 customers. And now your going to remember to call me?
I now know where the DMV workers go to die.

Any update yet? I'm probably in the same boat as you.
 
How did you request to pick up at CC? I will do that next year my ups guy is driving everywhere but my area -.-
If you're signed up for UPS My Choice, you can request free hold at a UPS location through the website. I chose to pick it up at the UPS CC downtown rather than a local UPS Store just in case of a possible delay.
 
I popped my sim in phone and it’s not getting a signal either. Is it supposed to work or does my carrier need my IMEI
 
I had been bummed that I can’t get mine for 6 hours or so. Now I might be glad. I remember activations being bogged down in years past. I hope it goes well when I pick up my new iBaby.

So my friend tells me this is whats going on with my phone as I wait for it lol
 
Just thought I’d share, after I got mine this morning, I tried the SIM swap and that did not work at all. For anyone else on AT&T this may be the hang up. The new SIM worked as soon as I popped it in, but alas that’s how they get the $25. Will call to see if I can have it waived.

Yeesh... with all the "supply shortages" and everything, it's amazing that AT&T is somehow overloaded on their activation services.
 
I briefly got to see my daughter's new X while at lunch just a bit ago. She had to drive to our home where her father signed for it and then come out to my place of work for a quick lunch so that I could see her unbox it and hold it. Beautiful phone. I can't wait to get mine on Monday.
