Excuse me ??? 'people like this??" Well - I truly believe that ordering at 12;45 am should never gave me Dec 5th date in the first place. In fact I always get the phone on day 1... this is first year I am not.
your taking this to serious calm down... I feel like I ordered my phone 5mins after... why am I in the same boat as you? you were 40 mins late.. that's not fair... ;):D:p
 
I'm not sure why people who have ship dates are still freaking out, let alone still posting :p You've got your ship date, you're good to go...now go watch the plane varoom across the App somewhere else haha!

So originally Nov 17-24 delivery but now Apple shows the 8th and UPS shows the 6th. I plan to be out of the house all day on the 6th. I live in an apartment that has a mailroom you need to be buzzed in to so considering pre-signing to have it left in the mailroom to ensure I don’t miss the UPS truck. My question is the iPhone X will ship in a normal brown shipping box right? There just won’t be a flashy iPhone X box chillin in the mail room right? Or can I call UPS before it arrives and just have it sit there?

I would not trust anyone in a "mailroom". No offense to the folks who work in there, but it will be easy to tell it is a package from Apple.

Yeah the trend I'm seeing is those of us in the 11/17-11/24 bucket but are NOT part of the IUP are not seeing movement. Those in the same release date bucket but ARE a part of IUP seem to be getting really nice early/mid next week shipping dates. :(

I really want to sign up for the IUP but I was unable to do it beforehand since for some reason the one carrier that it wouldn't work on was T-Mobile. If I was on any other carrier I could have signed up for IUP prior to the iPhone X launch. Now I have to essentially buy the iPhone X at full price (which I have done) and then I was told by someone at the Apple store that you can bring it back and they can process a refund on it and then essentially re-buy it under the IUP.

I had - Dec 5 - 16, got changed to Nov 16-24
I think this is the most likely bump to occur. The initial supply will fulfill tomorrow’s shipments. Stores will get allocations and Apple will work to get most pre-orders shipped by the end of November.

Reading this it shows out of order times - from top to bottom. Thinking it's in the air maybe? I can't find a flight though

Can’t tell if you’re a troll if you’re serious. Either way do some research then post. If you still feel it’s unfair, oh well.
I had the same issue. I started ordering at midnight and suffered problems with the Apple store contacting AT&T which caused a 45 minute delay which caused a delivery date of December 5 - 11. If this fair? No. Is life fair? No. Oh well I'll get it when I get it and hope for a bump up in delivery date. But to call someone a troll for not liking their delivery date being pushed out a month after ordering 40 minutes late does not make sense.

This is almost the exact same thing that mine is showing!

If you get the free MyUPS app, you should be able to redirect the shipment. One option is indeed to have it held at UPS for walk-in pickup. You'll have to judge the risk of having sit in your mail room!

oh wow, you had a way worse experience and roller coaster of emotions lol. I was just in the boat of refreshing the Apple store app on my phone and my laptop every second from 12:00am PST until I finally was able to get in at 12:15 and by that time all launch day phones were gone and I was stuck with the 11/17-11/24 delivery.


I'm going to try getting one tomorrow at a store, but I'm not holding my breath. I may just have to wait until mine ships. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
