Indeed it does, our phones are fellow passengers, lol! I am located in Central Texas.

I do believe it was a little longer of a delay than normal, at least in my experience of ordering through Apple. Although that may just be a warped memory since it’s been a while since I’ve ordered a new Apple device directly from Apple (3 years since I got my iPhone X). My other devices were bought in store or via my provider.

Same here Painter! My last pre-order was the iPhone X… And 2017 was a horrible delivery year. I’m pretty much scarred from that experience which is why I’m afraid to make changes to my order/pick up. I missed UPS last time by 20 minutes after waiting around all damn day! The next day I went to the customer center but it wasn’t ready because I had to wait 24 hours for their system to update. Hence why I’m so freaked out about making any changes.

So my phone finally was delivered this afternoon. Incredible how fast this thing is. I was debating for the pro max but honestly as I’m coming from a 7+ it’s an increase in screen size so it’s a win for me, in a smaller footprint than my old 7+

Yaaaaaaay Tgen!

Weren’t you the one who’s package was lost for a while? I’m so happy you have your phone! And that you love it. You totally deserve it.

My date says 10/28 again.... feels like a stretch. Arrrrrgh do I switch it to pick up from a CC? I’ll be pissed if it delays it by the one day I have. I also don’t want to sweat stalking UPS either.

Interestingly enough mine still shows 10/27, maybe thats from the extra distance to CA? Though the flight is only a couple extra hours I would think you still could get it tomorrow, but maybe that‘s being too optimistic.

I recently tried holding for pickup at CC and they reversed my request for hold due to an “error”, so it got delivered while I was out of town this weekend. Thank goodness for awesome neighbors who brought it in on their own accord for us.

When requesting a hold for pick up at UPS CC it does not delay. However requesting to be picked up at the UPS Store "May" delay.

On the iPhone X I got lucky enough to get it day one (only time that I’ve ever gotten a preorder of anything on day 1), but I had it held at the CC. UPS was always pretty crappy at my last residence, they’d say they attempted to deliver, but didn’t even walk up or knock on the door.

Now I live 30 miles from the CC, and don’t feel like dealing with rush hour traffic to pick it up from there, so I won’t bother. Thank goodness for working remote and being home most of the time.

Ive got a 10/28 delivery as well, probably because there all heading to KY then it has to head back to the west coast.

hLooking ahead, for those of us on CargoLux 9781, there are flights from PANC to Louisville at 11:12 pm and 11:28 PM. 9781 arrives at 9:25 PM, so we might make one or the other of those! If this goes as my AW6 did, I will get delivery in the Twin Cities, Minnesota tomorrow! There are also flights all night — 11:46 pm, 12:35 AM. Until tracking AW6’s route, I had no idea there were so many UPS flights between Anchorage and Louisville. Amazing!

I have a 5:46 departure scan also. How did you find out it was Cargolux?

We are riding together!

Some folks on here are so sharp and clever they can figure out the possible flights on "flight finder" I do no possess those skills or patience. It's too much for my little heart to take.

I think I'm in the same boat...(or plane) as some of you. Mine finally said it left ZengZhou about an hour ago...just says departed from ZengZhou. UPS says it is still slated to be delivered to Central Florida tomorrow....that would be awesome. I suppose now I will have to start studying how to do the icloud transfer from my old iphone6+ to this new one, then actually tether my new apple watch 6 to it. Hopefully it will be easy. I already got me clear case with kickstand for it and a tempered glass cover for it. If I had to pay a dollar every time I refreshed my UPS tracking, I would have spent more than I did for the phone...haha.

Hey, mine was 5:46 departure time also...! Is there hope...? For Tomorrow...?

I have a 5:46am departure time as well. Ups still says mine will be delivered tomorrow by 9:00pm in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley.

I know it’s possible. I go to Japan for work frequently and I typically leave Tokyo on an 11am flight and land at 10am the same day....an hour before I took off! Crossing the date line is wacky!

Don’t force it. Stand on what you see and how it makes YOU feel. If it isn’t the Gold you envisioned, don’t settle - these phones cost too much for that. This is just fun debating during new iPhone season in the end.

Now if you don’t want to go wrong, just come join me in getting Pacific Blue... I’m just saying 😁

I am steadfastly going to order the Gold as always. The Gold Pro Max will look great in my Case-Mate Ombré Twinkle Gold Case too. Any color of gold is better than any other color for me personally.
