In times like this I’m reminded of a proverb I received in a fortune cookie some years ago:

“To one who waits, a moment seems like an hour.”

I hate waiting!!!

Omg ! Just did one last check....Bank still shows pending, my Apl order shows:

SHIPPED, DELIVERY NOVEMBER 9th............that is tomorrow! Apl e mail from original order still shows 17-24 .........?.....

Can this be true ?.......I knew the Jackie D would do the trick........

I will let you all know, as none of this makes any sense..........


I won’t dare go back and RE-check. And no, I did not have too much J D !

Sigh, my 11/10 scheduled delivery per UPS was just shifted to 11/14... Not critical, unless it delays a bit longer, then it will be in my 'travel window' where I'll be gone for 12 days starting 11/17.
[doublepost=1510204141][/doublepost]And now, of course, my local Apple store has it in stock for pickup tomorrow! Aargh....

And, now it is no longer in stock... Nuthin's easy any more.
Mine was changed to the 14th too! Feels like we are never getting these phones.
 
WTF?!?!?!?! My delivery change from 11/10-11/14!
Phone left INcheon and it’s now on Chek Lap Kok in HK. What’s going on?!?! Anybody else happening the same thing?

Yep, unfortunately that's one of the routes UPS takes on the way back. These aren't dedicated Apple flights. They're picking up other shipments before flying to Anchorage.

But if you look in the map, Hong Kong is not on the way to US. They went back unstead of going forward. Annoying :”(

Feel like they’re messing with us
 
My order is still in Incheon. Third day in a row in hopes it’s on UPS 99 leaving in 3 hours. If it does, I still should have an on time delivery for tomorrow (11/10).

Those orders in HK, UPS has two B747 flights leaving in the next 2 hours, UPS63 & UPS59... hopefully yours are on those flights.

Patience is a virtue...!

Heh....I know, but I'm sure it makes sense to UPS. :) I'm sure there's a reason to the order they load the planes to maximize their efficiency.
 
Lord help me! I may loose it with Apple. Two weeks since order and no movement once so ever, nothing. I have never been this disappointed by Apple. Order placed as soon as site came back up yet was given reservation and that email came two hours later. Hiccup my Butt.


Does any one else's say standard shipping? I was told on one of my numerous chats that it would be expedited shipping.

I tried cancelling mine since there has been stock locally 5 times where I could have bought it for in store pickup. Cancel failed on the site and didn't want to bother calling in as it would take too long to get a one before they sell out.
This is now officially the same boat I’m in. Tried to call even and says they’re not open yet. This whole process is ridiculous.

Mine too.... I will just wait until the 14th. My original window was 5-6 weeks and even with delivery on the 14th, its still less than two. Four days won't kill me.....but it sure will hurt!
 
I just called UPS to ask about the package and was told they’re not the ones doing the scanning of the order and it’s being computer generated. The person I spoke with told me to contact the shipper. WTH?!?!
 
Mine shipped this AM.

OF course it’s the day our stores have stock and I could have literally walked in for one! It’s a game of chance though ;)

It's kinda pointless to call either Apple or UPS. Unless you want to be told "You'll get it when you get it" :)
What did you expect them to tell you? They're certainly not going to tell you why they've sent a plane anywhere. Nor would they tell you when the next flight is. That would compromise their security.
 
I wish folks would list when their credit card got hit in relation to the OIP dissolving.
Apple charged my card (paid in full) 2.5 days ago and no movement.

I'm about giving up checking and getting 'over it' all. I'm not even sure I'm going to be able to deal going down from a Plus to an X with the smaller screen. If/when it shows up - it shows up.

Mine was 5.5 days from first charge for tax before it changed to preparing to ship. As it went shipped citizens charged for the first IUP payment.

My order, which changed to PFS earlier today, just changed further to shipped, showing an estimated delivery on the Apple order page of 11/20, with no estimated UPS delivery just yet. I'm going to guess/hope that the actual delivery will be more like 11/15.
Mine said the same thing. 11/20 delivery. UPS says 11/15.

Scheduled Delivery:

Wednesday, 11/15/2017 , By End of Day


Last Location:

Departed - ZhengZhou, China, Thursday, 11/09/2017
 
someone can explain this to me, I was supposed to arrive this Friday and now for Tuesday 14th...

was meant to be out 13-20th its due for delivery tomorrow (UK) so will see if it turns up. Silver 256 model.
 
My CC just got a pending charge for Sales Tax. Checked my order on Apple.com and it's now showing as Preparing to Ship. Still says 11/17-11/24. Hoping to have it hand next week. Fingers crossed!


Order number w532xxx
Verizon
silver 64gb
3:12 est Phone reserved message
IUP
11/17-11/24 date

Update:
Switched from Preparing to Ship to Shipped at 11:57pm EST last night
Apple says Delivers by 11/20/17
Tracked it on UPS and it says Delivers by 11/15/17

Assuming UPS is correct, that means I went from no CC charge and Order in Progress to Delivered in a week (11/8 -> 11/15).
