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

Seems like IUP people in the Nov. 17 - 24 are steadily getting bumped today to the next wave, which delivers Nov. 8.

As annoyed as I am as an AT&T NEXT buyer, keep in mind this wouldn't be happening at all if things weren't going well and Apple wasn't catching up. Apple is only doing this because they can. This bodes well for the rest of us.

Listen for the 100th time... were not saying ONLY... but YES it is very apparent from this thread alone. IUP is getting priority... just because you got it doesn't mean what were saying is not true.... The numbers don't lie

It might be the majority of what we see here. But what we see here is a VERY small piece of data and does not even come close to what is really happening. And I’ve seen quite a few people who bought outright that have been bumped to the 16th then bumped to the 8th.

Yeeee Yeeeee! I was part of the 256gb space gray T-mobile IUP and I had been sitting at 16-24 Nov. This morning I get an email that states new shipping delivery is Nov. 8. Then I go and check the UPS tracking info and it says delivery date is Nov. 6! #winning.

Hang in there everyone! Apple is bumping shipments now.

Likewise seeing a nov 6 delivery date on ups tracking. Impressive!

Right....and Apple is using UPS World Ease.
https://www.ups.com/us/en/shipping/services/value-added/world-ease.page

Edit: As @bugunter noted above - inside the US, Apple is using a UPS service which isn't eligible for Saturday deliveries. (So the only time UPS will deliver on the Saturday is when they can't hit their Friday commitment).
 
Looks like only the IUP people are getting the phones earlier than quoted. People like us who paid full are not getting anywhere. I guess that’s very bad on Apples part.
Ordered at 3:06am (app issues as others)
Email received 3:12 am
T-Mobile 64gb space gray
Paid full.
Sitting on 11/17-24 from Friday no change or no charge.

ATT next, 256 SG, order placed when apple store became accessible to me around 00:15. Originally 11/17-11/24. No charges to CC yet, no changes to expected date.
 
Damn so only (mostly?) IUP customers are getting these bumps? Kind of aggravating being that I would have done the IUP if Tmobile supported it without having to go in store. That just sucks.

same thing...

12:12 t-mobile 64GB space gray

no movement and no charge...
 
Is it possible to add a poll to this thread? I would love to see the % of this 17-24 group that has gotten theirs shipped vs. have not.

I'm in the have not boat, but I am IUP, so I'm hoping it'll move up like so many others have.

apple store, AT&T Next program, 256 SG, ordered 3:10 am EST after app kept failing, was able to order through safari, no charge on CC, no change in date, order is still OIP. 11/17-11/24.

Same here. Ordered my 256 SG AT&T Next phone using the applestore app at 3:11AM (EDT) and it's still OIP 11/17-11/24. After mine was ordered, I went to the AT&T website and ordered 3 more Next upgrade 256GB phones 1-SG and 2-Silver for others in the family. The last one was ordered at 3:21AM (EDT). All of theirs are arriving tomorrow. I have already received the confirmation from UPS. Ordering from the Apple store was a mistake.

Same order here as well. 11/17-11/24
 
T-mobile 64 GB paid in full for 2 phones. Like everyone else including AT&T, I am also getting the shoddy treatment from Apple. They have blatantly put IUP buyers ahead of full cash to make a few extra bucks from them. Unfotunately T-mobile has messed it up 3 years in a row, so Apple store was my only refuge. I have to reconsider my loyalty to Apple. I am not the type of customer Apple is excited about. Even if I had never gotten up at 2.00 AM CT and booked on T-mobile next day, my date still would have been 11/17-11/24. No happy with Apple and will post some posts on WSJ and other sites about my experience. Next time anyone not on IUP knows, they will not be treated fairly by Apple.
