Apple.com Preorder Status Thread (merged)

Some of you don't understand. UPS & Fedex move stuff ALL DAY EVERY DAY that's all they do is move things from A to B. Obviously they do other stuff to but they primarily do logistics. If my phone is in kentucky and i'm on the west coast or on the other side of the planet, I wouldn't bat an eye even if these guys waited until the day of delivery to ship because they have such a vast network that it'll still be in my hands. In my 11 years of ordering stuff the only time something got screwed up was courtesy of USPS.

So unless I don't see a tracking update by 3:00 PM friday then i'm good.

Or UPS drivers that lie about delivery attempts.

hey last mile boobs aren't representative of the entire company. Atleast it was on the truck

 

[FinalCavalry]

I don't pay much attention to delivery time because it will vary depending on the driver's route, but it's pretty cool that mine just changed from "End of Day" to "Before 10:30 AM".

 

[sh4ners]

The only change i have seen with my tracking info is the delivery time changed from Before End of Day Friday to Between 11 a.m and 3 p.m.

Did anyone else's change to this?

mine just changed to 10:30am

Alright good, I'm glad I'm not alone haha. I can't wait for it to get here though! iOS 6 on my 4 is incredibly underwhelming, can't wait to use the other features.

Yes, it sucks lol.

Now mine says deliver by 10:30am! Oh man I hope this is correct!

 

[chembox]

Sweet, my scheduled delivery now shows "Friday, 09/21/2012, by 10:30 A.M."

Mine did the exact same things. I always expected it in the morning as it was being shipped to a business maybe they are just getting route planning done at this point.

 

[3goldens]

Anybody else's order still say preparing for shipment? :/

yep

 

[jwire4]

mine just changed to 10:30am

As did mine. Pretty cool to see it update to by 10:30am. UPS is usually here around then, as long as I can make sure someone is here to sign for it, I'm good.

By the way, thanks for the user who posted the pre-sign sheet! I know some are saying we can't use it, but even if someone is home, I might use it as a backup just in case

 

[mandurz]

On the UPS app mine hasn't said a time at all. Now it says 10:30. At least I'm in a commercial area. Our UPS guy doesn't do any residential. I won't hold my breath though.

Who did you order through?

apple

 

[kukheart]

Mine says delivery by 10:30AM too. I am in Dallas, Central Standard Time. I pray I get it that early as I have to work in the afternoon. That's pretty much exactly 36 hours from now.

 

[Craiger]

mine seems to be the only one that still says by 3 or end of day residential.

[SidewaysTakumi]

I ordered AppleCare+ as well and so my reference number shows two packages and two tracking numbers. One is sitting in louisville (eta 9/21), the other still says UPS Order processed ready for shipment. I don't know which is which. Both show a weight of .90lbs. Any ideas guys? Lol.

On apples order status the apple care shows complete while the phone is preparing.

Nothing physically ships with apple care plus.
