Well, people usually are able to lookup their tracking number when their phone is still at Foxconn (before UPS has trucked it to the airport).

If you can look it up by reference number then they should have the label details (and therefore available on My Delivery), so I think my point still stands.
 
Can someone send the link for ups with tracking by phone number. I can’t get the option on my iPhone.

I think you have to check on a desktop. Tracking by reference on mobile seems impossible. “Request desktop site” doesn’t even work.
 
what is was your estimated delivery day before the call ?
[doublepost=1509211339][/doublepost]Am I the only one with 14-21 November delivery date ?
64gb SG.

November 3rd for one IPhone and the other IPhone is November 21st

Hmm, is there any particular reason why they would be calling customers to confirm whether or not they've ordered the phone? I don't recall this ever being done for other iPhone pre orders. It seems a bit odd, are you sure that the number that called you was a legit apple one?

Yes very legit it’s because my Td bank is a student account so the bank didn’t want to give the money due to my student limit but I cleared it for approval
 
:08am.... it definitely stings to see the Nov 3rds begin to ship already!!
:08 (though, I looked at the time when the order when in and it was :06). So, yes, all of the folks that ordered after I did and got 11/3??? Yep...still stings.
Feels. Definitely pretty annoyed that even though i had App problems i still got my order in within 5-6 minutes of it going live only to be slapped with what is actually more like a 3-4 week delay.

3:07

I had nov 3 going into the cart nov 20 when I checked out
I had November 3rd even after i hit Place Order. Got my confirmation email at 3:06, saying November 21-28.

It’d be nice if Apple had a “order must be completed in mm:ss” type thing like TicketMaster where your place is held in queue as long as you complete the order within the set amount of time.

Anyone else a UPS My Choice user? I am and I get them to reroute any packages to my local UPS store (I work business hours). What I've noticed is that for some bizarre reason it takes an extra day for them to reroute the package. Doesn't make sense to me but that's the way they do it. So any one concerned they will deliver on Monday instead? I am.

I did that last year and luckily they let me pick it up Saturday at my local UPS, usually they should let you pick it up Friday but it depends when the truck delivery guy goes and gives it to your store, if he goes Friday morning then you can get it later that day but if he misses the cut off time you gotta wait next business day but they do allow Saturday pickups

Thing is, then people would be complaining about what time they were able to access the app lol. Either way some people are going to be slighted.

Finished my order 3:07am got 21-28 but had November 3rd listed whole going through check out and my brother 3:05 he is November 3rd s it stings haha
This all but confirms my initial assumption. I missed out on a launch day delivery by what was probably a few seconds. When I called Apple yesterday I asked if people in Canada who ordered from the app store cancel their order, does everyone waiting moves up in the queue? (they said yes, first come first serve system). So if enough launch day orders that were directly from Apple cancel, some of us could squeak through. I took a look on kijiji and see so many launch day scalpers, and i just know if they didn't exist we 100% would've got it lol.

Honestly i agree with you, i was on Kijiji too and seeing ridiculous prices at 3.5k for some. Like why buy 2 if you gonna flip one, there are people like us who just want one and have to wait longer cause scalpers want a big business, but honestly i doubt they will get to sell it for 3k that’s ridiculous

Yep, you need to have them hold it at the depot rather than sending it to the store. Then there's no delay. (pretty sure the depot's open til at least 7pm, right?)

Edit: The UPS hubs are now called Customer Centres it seems. They're the distribution point for your area....if you hold it there, that makes it the fastest location to pickup at.

Edit2: Our local one closes at 6:30pm.

Mine is due in Toronto on the 3rd. Anyone else have problems with UPS in TO? Last two times, I've had problems with delayed delivery i.e. supposed to be delivered on a certain date and then pushed back with an email that day. Please don't let that happen on the 3rd...
