Hello Everyone, I am a newbie here,

I have ordered an iPhone X, 256 GB, Silver online on 11/09 and getting the estimated delivery date within 12/11- 12/18 by standard shipping. As I am living in Pakistan, I am getting my phone delivered to my cousin's place who lives in Ohio & is visiting me on 12/14, he will probably leave his house for the airport on 12/12.

Before placing an order, I saw the estimated shipping time which is 3-4 weeks, so I thought that my phone would arrive on or before 12/09 which exactly completes 4 weeks from 11/09 but Apple has confirmed 12/11 - 12/18. I am afraid if my cousin misses to receive the parcel.

I have heard from people that Apple Orders are usually shipped & received earlier than their estimated delivery dates. Has anyone experienced it?

thanks

It is hard to say with supply being tight.

Normally I have read and experienced that you should expect to receive the order in the first 2 to 3 days of the delivery period.

It may help you if you can call Apple and explain your situation to them.

Probably not. I ordered with 5 minutes of apple opening up for orders and my delivery dates were 17 -24 - it was shipped last Monday, Nov 6 and to this day I have yet to receive. It appears someone is stalling delivery, most likely Apple. It's been in Houston the last two days which is 2 hours from my town. It looks as if I won't receive until Friday which is the Nov 17 if I am lucky. Good luck though.

Nope

Apple is definitely not getting any awards for under promising and over delivering.
