Ordered 2 SG 256GB ATT next phones via the Apple app. No charge, no movement or change in status from “Order Available Soon” and 11/17-11/24 delivery.


WTF Apple?!?

Ordered at midnight and had an original 17-24th estimate that got pushed back to 20-27th last night about 2 hours before my card finally got charged. Now showing "Preparing to ship" but still have that 20-28th estimate. Really hope I don't stay in the 'Preparing to ship' stage for a week like I have seen with others. Anyone in the same boat? (SG 256GB T-Mo).

I have a departure scan out of Anchorage at 3:23pm local time. Should be on either UPS51, UPS105 or UPS109 to Louisville.

We shall see what tomorrow brings or not..lol!
I have a departure scan out of Anchorage at 4:40pm. I hope the time is delayed because if not, theres only one flight leaving out of ANC to Louisville after 3:07pm and it leaves at 11:23pm. I really hope our departure scan is later than it shows. There would be hope for a surprise tomorrow :)
 
I have literally had the UPS experience from hell. Everything went wrong. My phone was suppose to arrive Monday, but somehow at 3:13am Monday morning the package was marked return to sender because I refused to accept it ( I didn't refuse anything, it was never delivered). Mind you it's only 20 minutes from me at this point. After numerous calls to UPS and Apple it was eventually determined no one could stop this process so it was going back to Apple. Apple was going to overnight the package right back to me once they received it.

The package was suppose to get to Apple Wednesday and be shipped back to me Thursday but of course UPS has another issue and it gets delayed another day. During this delay somehow the phone is shipped from Louisville back to Los Angeles (where I live) and no one knows why. UPS swears I will get it today, of course that doesn't work out and it gets delayed yet again. I currently sit in UPS limbo.........
 
I placed my order through T-Mobile’s Twitter help line last Saturday (11/4), and was originally scheduled for 11/17-12/1 delivery. Two days ago it switched to 11/8-11/10 delivery... I just got it today. :D

(64GB Silver)
 
How can I check the tracking on ups before i get the shippment e-mail from Apple? The order it’s preparing for dispatch. There is a way?
 
UPS tracking updated from 11/14 to 11/10! It was stuck at Incheon, got bumped to 11/14, but now has made its way to Louisville, KY. I'm hoping UPS doesn't change its mind again.
 
Mine is still in China, but it looks like it made it through the clearance holdup. UPS says that it will now be delivered on the 17th instead of the 14th.
 
I ordered my phone TMO 256 silver, paid in full at 12:07 AM October 27. Original shipping date was 17-24. They charged my cc on Nov 6th. Got shipping info on the Nov 7th. Scheduled Delivery: Monday, Nov 13th. Right now, it's still stuck in South Korea. :(

This has been the longest week of my life. lol

Is it still in Incheon, South Korea?

Mine is as well. There is a UPS flight (5X49) to Anchorage tonight 9.05pm local time (that's in 1,5 hours). Hoping my shipment will get on that one. Otherwise not sure how it will make it to the US in time for delivery Monday.

You do a reference search on UPS on the tracking page.
Do one search with the phone number associated with the order. Do another with the order number, less the last two digits. One of those should find your shipment if it's in UPS's system.

I have went from it being stuck in China and a 15th deliver date to, your package is in transit. We are updating plans to schedule your delivery. With no known date.
 
Finally got a departure scan out of China. I am guessing that Incheon will be the next stop.

Mine has been stuck in Korea for two days. Unfortunately I don't think it'll be delivered on the scheduled date.

First time a shipment from Apple takes that long to get out of Asia

For those of us (myself included) whining about our date moving from the 10th to the 14th.....
I woke up this morning to see that it is supposed to deliver today!
I can only assume the estimated delivery date that shows on UPS is a computer generated date based on the events that show in your scan timetable. Yesterday my phone was in Korea and it bumped my date to the 14th. Hopefully I will get it today and I can enjoy my new phone for the weekend....
 
I had my doubts about it getting here today, but it departed Louisville at 4:54 am and arrived in my city at 5:48 am. I live 800 miles from Louisville! UPS puttin' in work

I got charged and sent to preparing for shipment after what seemed like an eternity, yesterday morning at 9:18 eastern time. A few mins ago at 7:29 I got the email saying it shipped and just now at 7:35 I received the text notification that i'll receive my X by 11/21. Seeing as most people receive there's earlier than that once it updates thru UPS, that's even more promising. Just glad to finally see it moving along it's way.
