Will UPS hold it for more than a few days? If it actually ships on the 17th, I could not pick it up until the 30th... Somehow I thought a long period like that was not possible...
Got a tip for us?

I believe it's 5-7 days depending on the location. You may be able to pay for longer but not sure.
They will hold it for one week. At least that's what it says at my customer center.
My husband and I ordered at 3:10am our time. His order went though 2 minutes before mine did and our original delivery date was Nov. 10-17 and mine was pushed further to Nov. 17-24th. His order changed and is now to be delivered Nov. 3rd while mine never changed from the initial Nov.17-24 date. I was super bummed his order got moved up while mine stayed the same, so he told me to take his iPhone Friday because he knows it means a lot more to me than it does to him and he'd wait for my order to come. Mind you, our orders were 2 minutes apart.
Yeah, that's what I remembered from a previous time... Going to be interesting. With any luck next week it will improve, but if not am not certain how it will work... sigh.
Try and see if you can divert it to your local Apple store. Where they can hold it for you. Or may be ups can hold it for you ??Sigh, will be traveling for the entire current ship window (11/17-24). Moving locations multiple times during that week. Just 'chatted' with Apple, and the only answer was 'have a neighbor sign for it', which will not work... Can't redirect it to a location without knowing the date. My only option at this point may be to cancel and reorder, when I can control the ship to location or be home when it arrives. Wish they were a bit more flexible.... But it is what it is....
Still hoping for an earlier date, or one of our neighbors to cancel their trip!
Hmmm, the local store might work. Will run by there and see what they think.
Ya. Someone asked so I shared, again lolyou already posted this....
My order when from the original 11/3 to a delayed 11/15-17.
I think someone from this thread literally took my place in line because they called and complained. With only a finite # of phones available, some people have no problem trying to get free stuff AND screw over other people.
My order details: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/unable-to-track-by-reference-anyone-else.2082879/
No differences whatsoever. 256GB T-Mo Silver paid in full. Literally our orders were 2 min apart. Can you believe it? Only difference was our browser. I used safari and he used firefox.
Well then none of them are on the same page. I was told by my Apple Advisor that they cannot do anything about bumping orders, and neither can Senior Advisors. I guess maybe you got a Senior Advisors manager who I could assume get you bumped. I do not know, maybe Senior Advisors can and I was just given false information.
I don't buy any of these stories from people who are saying they had an estimate of 17-24 and now they've gotten bumped to 11/3, for anyone who is currently part of the IUP and went through pre-approval prior to the pre-order, and ordered via the Apple Store app. After getting blown off by a Senior Apple Advisor, I personally emailed Tim Cook a lengthy email after I ordered my iPhone X with a promised Nov. 3rd date, only to find out the next morning I too was bumped to the 17th-24th. I received a phone call from an Austin, TX number, less than two hours later from Ms Aitmeddour, who is an Executive for the Apple Online store and an assistant to Tim Cook. She told me that Mr. Cook asked her to contact me, to let me know that they are doing everything they possibly can to get my iPhone X delivered sooner than the 17-24 window. I've spoken to her twice now, and so far, the only change in my delivery date is that it is now 11/16-11-24. She said she cannot guarantee a Nov. 3rd date. As I was typing this, she just called (a third time) to let me know about the one day bump from 11/17 to 11/16. People make things up because in their sick mind, it's fun to mess with people who are upset about being wronged by Apple. If you were quoted 11/17-11/24 with the conditions I mentioned above, I guarantee you are not getting your iPhone X on launch day, period. I am also not getting my iPhone X on Nov. 3rd, even though that was the date I was promised at check out. To all of you who will receive youriPhone on launch day, good for you, I am truly happy for you

No one was “wronged by apple” here. I want my phone asap, just like everyone else here, but apple can’t magically make an infinite supply overnight. It takes time to make 10s of millions of incredibly complex devices. Apple and every other company on earth wants to sell you their product now, but things take time.
There is always Ebay/amazon/craigslist for those that don’t mind paying extra and just want the iPhone right away.
You're lying, flat out. Sorry to be the one to call you out, but I just did.
Well guess what, you don’t have to believe me and I really could care less. I don’t have to prove it to you. I’m getting my phone 11/3. Thank you.
The Apple Store App said Nov. 3rd delivery at checkout, when I paid with Apple Pay. The next morning, the confirmation email shows Nov 17-24th, that IS being wronged by Apple. I'm not the only one this happened to either.

You can't prove it to any of us...because it didn't happen. But have fun lying to people
Yes I’m lying... lying all the way to a 11/3 launch day delivery. yayyyyyyyyThe Apple Store App said Nov. 3rd delivery at checkout, when I paid with Apple Pay. The next morning, the confirmation email shows Nov 17-24th, that IS being wronged by Apple. I'm not the only one this happened to either.

Riiiiiiiiiight! I can see that you're the last word type as well, so shoot...
Jealously in the air is real right now.. regardless what you say he is getting it Nov 3rd if he had December or Nov at the end of the day he has launch date....
if he had December or Nov at the end of the day he has launch date....When you ordered doesn't say as much as the email confirmation time. Mine was :05 so I was at 11/10 for a day on a T-Mobile SG X 256, that updated to 11/3 the next day.
Lmao right? Somebody’s saltyyyyyJealously in the air is real right now.. regardless what you say he is getting it Nov 3rd
