Preordered iPhone 11 Friday at 14:00 with delivery date 20th.
Today they will be delivering my case + screen protector, but the phone window is 3-7 October since yesterday, even if in the confirmation mail all the items were set to 20th.
Called Apple, but they weren't able to provide an explanation beside: "we had lot of orders".
Kinda pissed right now.
 
My delivery date has changed to 2 weeks later today (11pro-mg-256) - was 25 Sep - 30 Sep, now 8 Oct - 14 Oct.
Ordered on 13/09

Not bothered, just providing some feedback.

Belgium.

Good to know. I didn't know that Apple does stuff like that.

In the past, I've only seen them changing the delivery date to a closer date, not to one that is further away.
 
I would have liked at least a notification from them, with the possibility to cancel the order.
Instead I realized that just because yesterday I checked the status after they charged the import for cover, screen protector and Apple Care +, but not the one for the phone itself.
Now I am sitting here with my brand new (and empty :rolleyes:) cover.
 
Completed my order within half a minute since the store came up on the 13th (refreshed constantly). Order status is still "preparing for shipment", delivery date is set to 20th of Sep. The order number trick doesn't work for me with any of the carriers. I live in Austria. So let's see...

Yeah, same here in italy. No news yet.
I hope they'll ship from netherlands instead of china, otherwise............. bye bye 20th September.

I've ordered also an apple watch 5, no shipment tracking yet :(

Hi everybody,
that will be still normal.
I´ve ordered a new iphone every year since 2014 (in Germany). For EU it´s quite normal. The devices will come directly from China. You will see a notification (shipped) earliest when the phones arrived in the EU. That means, normally you can expect the shipment notification (and also the tracking number) on Wednesday evening, or Thursday morning. This would be the case all the last years (for Germany) when you got delivery at launch day.
For US delivery, the people will get a tracking number directly from China, also they can track via reference with the "W" number from Apple order.
I´ve ordered a 11 pro max 256gb midnight green for store pick up in Cologne for Friday. For this, I´ll not expect a pick up notification before Thursday evening.
For pick up, you will get never a tracking number, you will only get a notification when the device arrived at the store.
So, no worry, you will get it in your Hands on Friday, for sure. Please let me in the loop if I will be right... ;-)
 
Ordered immediately on Friday. This morning, delivery date went from Sept. 20th to Oct. 3-7 (Belgium). Didn't get a mail about this. Will keep on taking pictures during daylight...

Fellow Austrian here. Also still preparing for shipment with a delivery date on the 20th. I ordered 30 seconds after they opened sales.

EDIT: My leather case arrived today

Austrian nr. 3 here :D :
Ordered on Sunday morning (Pro gold 64GB) - delivery date Friday 20th and still at stage 1 of the shipping process.
Guess it will be shipped from Stranice (CZ) where the warehouse is located to Praha (CZ) to Leipzig (GER) to Bratislava (SVK) to Vienna on Thursday afternoon just as my leather case did which arrived today (DHL).
EDIT: just changed to „preparing for shipment“.

My carrier still says it's first week of October (MEO) I'm buying it via company so I can get it free.
 
I ordered from Tele2 in Sweden. My 11 PRO 256gb still says only that the order has been created and should be delivered within 7 days of the ordering date, so still on track for the 20th. I have a feeling though that that will be when it gets delivered to Tele2 and then they will have to pack it and send it to me so it could be somewhere around the 23rd.
 
Does anyone from Germany who ordered through Apple already got tracking information for delivery on 20.09?
 
Ordered 2 iPhone 11s on Friday and another on Sunday. All are preparing to be shipped and delivered on the 20th.

No tracking number but I'm used to getting it on Thursday. So far I haven't been billed I can however see that Apple has put the amount on hold with my bank.

So far, so good, looking forward to Friday !

Haven’t received any tracking information from DHL or UPS and I’m signed up with both of them, so they send out mails as soon as a package comes my way :( located in Germany
 
EU people will get a notification as soon as the phones are in a EU warehouse (Eindhoven in most cases I think), at least .. this was the case with previous releases.

This will be probably Wednesday evening or Thursday early morning.

DHL delivery’s can be changed (timeframe, leave at reception/neighbor) using the delivery.dhl.com website as soon as you have a tracking / waybill number.

I believe that I'll get a shipping notification Thursday mid-day or evening. :) Coming from Prague, as always.
 
My order from amazon.de still says estimated delivery 23-25/9. 11 pro max 256.

I ordered yesterday from amazon.de and was surprised to see that my iPhone 11 Pro / 512 GB / Space Gray will arrive on saturday, 21/09. I expected a longer waiting period, but it seems my unit is still among the first batch of phones.

Yes, I also expect that happen .. I was re-reading the 2017 topics and that year I've received the shipping notification Thursday around 12:15.

I saw both in this topic and in a topic on a Dutch forum that peoples delivery date changed from 20th September to early October...that's not good :-(
 
Last year I got the shipping notification from Apple on Thursday. Shipping from Milan, IT to Lisbon, PT. Got it delivered at my door on Friday by DHL.
