Activation was easy enough for me, but it took about 40 minutes for my old 6 to drop off the network and my new 8 Plus to be able to make/take calls.

Did you guys all use the sim that came with the phone or something like that?

I took the sim out of my 7 and threw it into my 8+ and it still took several tries.
 
Sat 9/23/2017 by end of day

Estimated between:
9:30 am - 11:15 am

It has just left the FedEx origin facility. At this point I should let it deliver instead of having it held correct? I remember one time I had set it to hold and it delayed the shipment by a day lol

Who did you order from? Apple or a carrier?

I never, ever had shipment delayed for FEDEX when I order Apple product and when I use the hold for pick up. If apple shipped it out today and I choose the request for pick up, it will be there at my local Fedex office print and ship on Saturday to pick up.

This time around my pre-order came through UPS and not had any issue picking up at UPS CC. But I heard that for UPS if you choose to redirect it then that can add a business day depending on your location.

This is why I prefer FEDEX over UPS (my opinion).
 
Mine is still preparing to ship. Would love a Saturday delivery. Did you order from Apple website ??

Yeah, I ordered mine with the AT&T SIM already inside. No idea why it took so long to hop onto the network

Ok, how accurate do you think that 9:30 am - 11:15 am window is? I know on packages that I had held at the FedEx Office print shop it arrives about 10-10:30ish, it is also about a ten mile drive out. If the 9:30-11:15 time is accurate then I would want to just wait before I head out for the rest of the day's activities lol

Mine just shipped! FedEx for some reason but awesome for me because I’m in Memphis. Fedex is showing an estimated delivery of Monday.

Dangit, now I'm checking my shipping status ever minute now! :p What time of day did you order again? 9:48am Friday here.

Around noon on Tuesday :eek:

Mine just says “Label created” though, so it might not actually go out until Monday for delivery Tuesday.

I got a text literally as soon as it shipped though, so you can likely just wait for that.

Ordered Sep 19, 1:19pm CST.
[doublepost=1506137267][/doublepost]Anyone know if I’ll see any movement over the weekend for a FedEx package coming from their Mt Juliet distribution center? It’s not the end of the world either way, but it would definitely be nice to pick it up Monday before work, lol.

Probably. What type of shipping is it? (Next Day, Standard, etc). Mine originated from the same facility. Although they probably won't delivery until next week, unless Apple requested a special delivery day.
[doublepost=1506138539][/doublepost]After talking to Apple, because UPS reps were useless, my phone delivery has been pushed back to Monday.:oops:

Life lesson learned. Never alter the delivery from UPS. It confuses them. Oh well. My case and Qi charger arrived today with my new Switch screen protector. Now I can take it to work with me to distract me from thinking about my phone:p
