And just as I post that, UPS updates and it now says "On time" in both locations.

Also: new scan at Louisville!

Just got that too! Now hopefully they can get a departure scan to our final hubs!
 
Your opinions - If I change the shipping address to my local UPS Distribution Center, what time would I be able to pick up my package on 11/3? UPS and Apple have not been updating tracking yet.

It would nice picking it up early so I can do all the setup during the day.

I would not change the shipping address to the Distribution Center. Just request for a "Hold for pickup". When they receive the package they will keep it in the back and you can pick it up in person when they open. Changing the delivery address will still put it on the truck on Friday.

To be clear, they are two separate options.

It depends on the hours of your local UPS CC. Mine opens at 8am, but I've seen plenty of people on here saying theirs don't open until 1pm or later and is only open for a few hours. I have mine set to be held at the UPS CC and am hoping to get it before 10am.
 
Mine was on that same flight from Anchorage.

*Constantly reloads UPS site waiting for the scan*

Mine still stuck on Anchorage :-(

Thanks Zach - I plan on driving over there this morning to see what they can do before I change address and to see if my tracking ever updates.

Thanks, great advice - makes sense.
 
Still no update on sprint tracking, I spoke with a rep and they told me their first shipments are not scheduled to ship UNTIL 11/03. Will be switching carriers before next year.

Same here I haven’t had any progress since 10/29 at 6:33pm. I’m starting to get worried since it’s being delivered 2nd day air

My CC opens at 8am but they don’t give out packages for pick up til 9. As someone has said in an earlier post, don’t just drive up there to the CC hoping your package is ready cuz you have to wait til they change the status saying ready for pickup. My buddy waited 3 hours last year til his phone was ready to be picked up. Don’t want you to waste your time sitting around getting anxious. I know I will be. The wait will be worth it tho. Sweet victory.
 
And now for something completely different: I got my first notice since ordering this morning at 2:45am. I ordered from ATT as I have done since the first iPhone. My X started out in Fort Worth TX on Sunday and will be here tomorrow.

After reading this thread yesterday I have been unable to sleep and have been up drinking coffee, eating halloween candy and drinking Scotch with prozac chasers.

It's Happening. Just like it's supposed to.
 
I drove to a UPS Customer Center this morning, and changed my delivery so that I will pick up my iPX there around 930 AM Friday. I showed the front counter person my tracking # and had her check and she told me it had left Louisville around 100 AM this morning. Just got home and UPS tracking shows an import scan at Louisville at 1101 AM.

Luckily for me the front counter lady gave me her personal cell # and said if I haven't heard from her by 930 AM to call - she is calling me when the item is delivered to the Customer Center. Couldn't ask for better customer service then that!

Where I live, the UPS Customer Center allows pickups from 4-6 pm. My contact told me to come anytime.

Now that is hilarious! I don't think I have ever obsessed so much about a product before - it's a frikkin phone/pocket computer, lol.

I'm lucky I gave the front counter lady my information re:tracking # and she is just going to call me when it's ready to be picked up. She thought it would be no later than 930 am.

UPDATE: I just received a UPS My Choice email that says I have a package coming tomorrow. Also, my tracking has been updated to show an import scan into Louisville, Kentucky.

Hope you guys are seeing movement!

Yes just had a great bowel movement, lol.

Just got a My Choice email as well, although the tracking info is still fubar. I am glad I went to UPS this morning and specifically asked them to look at my tracking #. The information the agent gave me was far different from what is being represented on Apple status page or UPS MY Choice.

Sorry for the gross reply, just could not resist as this waiting process feels like making me poop!
 
Me too my friend. London store pickup. App still says for collection tomorrow so not worried.
Like I said in a post before, the phones are more than likely in the store already and the status will just change to pickup ready tomorrow.

Finally! One minute ago the status changed to “Ready for pick up”
 
Here is something to ease your minds! I know some of you may have ordered through Apple for a NOV 3 delivery and are stuck in either Louisville, Anchorage, or even China.

I just thought I'd post these screenshots of previous iPhone deliveries, they were delivered on time regardless of how tracking looked. If UPS says Nov 3 and Apple says Nov 3 then there is no reason to worry. Unless that changes you should get everything on time. Capture.JPG image.jpeg Screen Shot 2016-09-21 at 8.32.16 AM.png

Everyone on this string should post a picture tomorrow with their new IPX

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Sprint only knows what APPLE is telling them. I've done this last year with the 7 plus. They delivered my device when expected. With that being said my order says it's in TRANSIT. DELIVERY for 11/3
 
Just checked flights from Louisville to my area. Looks like 5 flights are scheduled until tomorrow morning. Hoping I start getting an update of its departure when it leaves. That way I can verify which flight it’s on. Never have I ever tracked something this much. I’m so excited with everyone. Anticipation is getting to me.
 
Mine departed Louisville around 1, and I'm pretty sure it caught a ride on a southwest airlines flight.
 
UPDATE: For my iPhone Upgrade Program peeps, like the email said my CC was just charged the first months payment for the iPhone X.
[doublepost=1509649407][/doublepost]UPDATE: just received my AppleCare+ coverage email from Apple for my iPhone X. Anyone else seeing these emails come in?

Mine was charged days ago. Got Apple Care email.

However my tracking is still stuck on import scan in Louisville, KY at 11:01 AM.

I am glad I checked with UPS myself because I was told the package had departed there around 1 AM this morning, 11/2!

Worst package tracking event ever - but keeping the faith because it must be!

Finally got a departure from Louisville.
Really? Any idea what time or airline?

I think we originated from the flight from China to Anchorage. Tracking during this event has not been what I expect from UPS normally.

I’m still stuck on Louisville too. I think Apple wants to prevent early deliveries so they are putting a block on tracking information. I bet tomorrow morning we see out for delivery with all of the updated scans haha. If Apple says it delivers tomorrow and UPS sent out emails saying we have packages coming tomorrow then I’m not worried lol. At the end of the day it’s a phone.
