Have any 11/17-11/24 shipments been bumped?

What is the weight of the iphone X packages that people have been tracking?

I'm still in OIP but just tried to check UPS reference number. It says that a shipping label was created today for the reference. However, it is listing the package at 2 pounds? That sounds correct right considering the whole contents of the box?

I think i'm becoming psychotic.

UPS and most curriers use “volumetric weight” which takes into account the size of the package and not only the weight.

The iPhone box comes inside another box. The only video I’ve seen where this box is shown is this one:

Thank you for this! I also noticed it is headed towards my city as well so I'll rest assured feeling confident that I'll go into PFS or Shipped sometime soon.
 
What number do you put in on the UPS site, under reference number? Order number? What about the dates it asks you to pick? Never tried this before. Thanks in advance!

I was then got bumped to today. Still waiting for the truck to stop at my house while I'm at work. We might be there at the same time as I get off in 25 minutes. I'm only about 10 minutes from home.

As I posted I got a text from my hubby that it arrived.

Do I put it as tracking number? I’m so confused. How do I know if they’re using UPs or FedEx?

You have to track by reference. Go to ups.com, click "Tracking" on top of the page, select "Track and tracking history", and then "Track by reference" on the left.

The most common service used by Apple is UPS, sometimes they use FedEx, I don't know when or why.

I ordered a Verizon SG 256GB with a 11/17-11/24 delivery window and changed to preparing for shipment today. So that added a little excitement to the day. Hopefully another status change soon.

When people notice their cards getting charged, is it because they're constantly checking their bank account, or is there some other notification that pops up on your phone or through e-mail that alerts you to that fact? Like an apple pay notification or something?

I get a notification on my phone every time there’s a charge on my AMEX.

Thank you! I’ll try that! Mine is preparing for shipment.
 
So this is interesting. My CC was charged today. On the Deliveries app, my phone is scheduled to arrive on 11/8 via FedEx. On the Apple store it says there’s a transit delay until the 15th. And UPS.com says it’ll be here on 11/10. :D

If UPS has one phone and FedEx has one phone, you might get two iPhones lol that would be unprecedented.

Some people have reported that it worked using the order number, others using the order number -2 digits.
 
After 3 days of nobody in my online neighborhood support group wanting the spare ATT 256GB Space Grey X that my wife didn't want, I returned it.

Immediately after that my favorite salesman at Apple Store tells me that the supply for most stores is now severely restrained after opening weekend, that al the available phones were delivered, and they haven't gotten any more since the store sold out Friday.

He thinks it will be in very short supply for the next 3-4 weeks, and I should have tried to sell it longer, now that they'll be harder to find. He has a friend who would have bought it on the spot if I had talked to him first - once the return had been processed there was no going back. I didn't need the money back on my card until the 20th, so it wouldn't be on my next statement, so should I have waited?
 
Well, my wife’s phone (256/SG) that I ordered through AT&T website more than an hour after presale launch (4:21 EST to be exact) has just been shipped via FedEx out of DFW and will be arriving tomorrow sometime. I guess AT&T’s estimate of 2-10 Nov delivery was spot on.

My phone is still sitting in Zhengzhou according to UPS...:(

After 300 iPhones were stolen on Friday, personally I would not buy it online to anyone.

There are so many scams online that take advantage of the hype.

I’m not trying to say that you are a scammer, but you know it is with the internet, better safe than sorry.

IDEK, if it is correct but what worked for me was the reference number w/o the W at the beginning and take away the last two digits.

I think our phone is on the same shipment. Mine shows as being in Zhengzhou as well, but there was a plane leaving this morning to Anchorage so I think its just taking a little time for them to update. I've heard people on this thread saying they're taking time to update. There was a UPS plane leaving Anchorage to Louisville 3hrs after the plane from China arrived. I want to believe our phone is on that plane :D
