Now preparing for shipment! No change in date...yet! I travel out of town Tues-Fri next week, so hoping for a miracle. And if not, sure is fun to have a diversion!
Got a tip for us?

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

The senior advisor did upgrade my shipping from 11/17-24 standard shipping to 11/15-22 2-3 day shipping. She did it on real time, as soon as she updated it it showed up on my order within 15 mins. She was even shocked.I am not doubting things like that. I just do not believe a lot of these people that are saying they called Apple and talked to a Senior Advisor and got bumped up. I was specifically told they cannot bump anyone. I would think the only people that can do that are the way higher ups. I shot an email off to Tim Cook just telling him that is an embarrassment for a company like Apple to put us loyal customers through that absolute mess of a preorder process. I mean the Apple Store App came online at different times, for different people...not being able to contact AT&T's (my provider) server...me getting to checkout with an 11/3 delivery date and when I click checkout, the website crashed and reset, so I had to start over and when I selected my iPhone X config. it said 11/3 delivery date but after I was done checking out I got the email that said 11/17-11/24. It is just embarrassing for a tech company like Apple. They had a pre-run with the iPhone 8/8+, and I know the demand was not as high but still. Also the 55 country launch...Apple will never do that again I predict. That was as stupid as it comes with the low supply of the iPhone X.
Now for the 11/3 release day upgrade, she said she doesn’t power to do so and she had to “submit my case”. So I guess it was my luck.
My card has not yet been charged for my wife's phone. I'll keep checking though.
Mine too! For the sales tax amount. Does this mean that shipping is imminent?
Yup. And both phones are now “Preparing for shipment”!!!
Mine also just changed to Preparing for Shipment. Come on date, change you bast***, hahaha 
Preparing to ship!! Our of my two orders, the one that moved the 16th, just changed status!!!
It’s okay bruhGuess what everyone... my date NEVER changed I'm still stuck with 17-24 Waaaaaa
Do not tell me AirPods suck, bro! That is what I got from Apple basically free. Why do you they suck, please be honest. I can always retune them and get something different, probably a few things since a charging pad is $60.00, and I would have $90.00 left of my $150.00 credit.
Obviously I will try them out to see how I personally like them. Everyone I have talked to loves their AirPods!
Ha ha I just don't like them. I don't want anything dangling from my ears like that. From a design perspective, they are hideous, from an audiophile perspective they are sub par. Just being honest. I don't care if you or anyone else likes them. You got them for free so it's all good
I got charged also and status changed to preparing for shipment. Still shows 16- 24 shipping date.
See, I am on the east coast (do not know where you are) but it seems for the east coast the Apple Store App did not (at least for me and others I have seen) get live until 3:10-3:11am EST. So some people had a 6-7 minute advantage, not to mention apparently Verizon was up 10 minutes before 12:00am PST/3:00am EST. Those orders should have been cancelled!
My bank app does not support TouchID so I'm frantically checking now... copy pw...paste pw.... copy pw... paste pw...
Happy to hear 11/16's are getting charged. Mine is 11/13 right now so maybe... just maybe...

Yeeee welcome to the club:O I just got a pending apple charge!! IS THIS REAL LIFE??!!
Not a big change, but after changing the status to “processing for shipping” it changed the date range to 11/16-11/24. Yes, I meant to write 11/16. Strange to alter it by a day
I have been charged but Im still showing "Order in process"
Subs of Philly here man. I am telling you, I sat and legit refreshed the app non-stop.
AT&T servers are what effed me. I got lucky on my phone that I got a reservation. My wife's phone kept failing over and over when I entered my phone and SSN details but I kept trying and eventually it "worked" only to fail.
It seems any time I need to do anything THRU apple FOR ATT, it gets effed up. Just seems to be better to go right to AT&T.
But screw them and their $25 upgrade fee.
I believe someone like you though, why? You are not on here gloating and rubbing it our faces. So I am glad you got bumped up because you seem like a nice person!
No change here. But my Amex is fu*king up so I'm on the phone with them. I hope I didn't miss them trying to charge my account. Nooooooooooooo! I'm happy for y'all though, for real
