Not to sound ungrateful, but anyone think we could get phones a day or more earlier than the 8th? Reason I ask is only because my vacation starts on the 8th and I don’t get home again until late evening of the 13th.
It's certainly possible. You should check on the UPS site and see if your UPS CC has early morning hours. Then maybe you could pick it up first thing, before you head out on vacation?

Edit: If so, you'd need to have it held there.

My flight is at 6:00 a.m. on the 8th which means I’ll need to be at airport by 4:30-5:00 a.m. so doubtful I could pick it up on way. Hoping for delivery on 7th.

You might still receive it tomorrow, honestly. So definitely possible.

Shipping notice! Delivers Wednesday! (I will be out of town but at least my husband can sign). His was ordered a few minutes after me and his is still in process. I’d let him have mine if they were the same (he has gray, I have Silver).

Well, I’m in North Carolina right now. Lol. I get home late tomorrow night. But if it delivers tomorrow, do you think they’ll reattempt delivery on Saturday or Monday? If Saturday, I’ll just let them reattempt. But if Monday, then I’d have them hold at CC for Saturday pickup. I seem to recall the only reason I got my 7+ on Saturday 8 days after launch last year was because there had been a snafu delay so UPS did last minute Saturday deliveries.

I'm not really sure on delivery re-attempts. Seems like the easiest thing to do if it delvers tomorrow for you is to hold it at the UPS store and pick it up in the morning.

^This. Would not be surprised if these devices show up Friday. Only problem is that I originally thought these Nov 16th phones that were being upgraded last night were already in KY, and the UPS labels would be created and shipped from KY. But it doesn’t look that way since my tracking number is orginating in China. Still a chance, I guess, but it would have to get to the states today. And I don’t know if that’s gonna happen. But have definitely had Apple delivery dates with tracking numbers a week out and then magically it shows up at my door the next day.

How bout those on the iphone upgrade program?

I've gotten every iphone since the 1st one on launch day, and have been doing the upgrade thing with apple since they started it a few years ago and was always told you guys get first dibs on new phones:D.

Honestly it's BS, I was on bright and early had everything set and filled out, launch day picked with time and all, did my citizens one application (ridiculous to do on line) and pressed the return button to see the bold letters off OOPS SOMETHING WENT WRONG??? To have to do it all over again and than be told we need to reach your carrier and were holding a phone for you??? WHY ARE YOU REACHING MY CARRIER ANYWAY? Complete BS!
Anyway yip...same story like so many on various carriers with similar stories, A nice email saying finish my order and a date of yayyyyyyyyy Nov 17th-24:mad::mad::mad:

So yea, seems like alot of us got screwed.

Didn’t u do the pre-approval process prior to live pre-orders?

I can’t recall from last year. How long should we expect to wait to see the next scan from China?
 
Looks like they are shipping from China. Don’t expect them early, gang.

I have one coming Friday as is. It’s in KY. It’s a long shot for my other phone, I know since it’s just leaving CN, but I’m still hopeful.

Thinking the same thing. I think it goes CN, HK, AK, KY.

I pre-ordered around 12:20. iPhone Upgrade program and was given a Nov 17-24th delivery date. Just looked at my order through the app and it says it shipped. UPS estimated delivery Nov 8th. Woohoo can't wait. Maybe it will come even earlier.
 
I'm shipped! Finally!!
