Carrier iPhone 11, Pro, Pro Max (2019) Apple Store US Pre-orders, Orders and Delivery Status Thread

lol I wonder how many of us just keep hitting refresh on the ups website seeing if any new updates..

Keep in mind, from what my brother has told me (he flies for UPS)...

Phones are manufactured, boxed and put on pallets at the factory.
(This is when you will see the label created notification)

UPS picks them up at the factory and takes them to their distribution center at the airport.
(You will see a departure and arrival scan at the same city)

They may sit in China up to this Wednesday so just because your label was created yesterday or today, they may sit. This is because they go through customs before departure in China (making sure there are only phones) or other freight being loaded on to planes. After this, they are loaded on to planes.
(You will get a departure scan now).

They fly from China to Alaska, arrive and go through another customs review here as well. Once cleared they then move on to Louisville, Ky. Then they are sorted and put on planes or trucks to your local distribution center. Arrive there and then go out to delivery to you...

Forgot to mention that according to my brother, during these massive movements of literally millions of phone from China to the US, the UPS system prioritizes it’s own internal tracking over updating its public systems. You have thousands of pallets being scanned, sorted and loaded on to planes...in other words, it’s a big deal!

What does that mean to you? You may sit and refresh the ups website or app and those won’t get updated...sometimes a day after things have actually happened.

Trust in the system but barring weather, or a plane crashing, you will have your phone this Friday...

Gold is not very popular that’s why

I agree because some of the local stores still have the gold for pickup on launch day.

But I like to be a creep and watch where my
Phone is lol

 

[DianaMR]

Which option did you chose?
[doublepost=1568592560][/doublepost]So it looks like my iPhone has a ups scanned which is good nothing for apple watch! Maybe it will show up tomorrow!

I’m just glad my iPhone has a scan

I chose “Pick up my package at a UPS location” then picked my CC. It will then show as an “exception” and “delivery date tentative”.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Yours hasn’t left yet?!!

Nope! Still in scanning stage

Still no signs of Apple Watch

I know it’s all about the green this year. But I gotta say this was the easiest pre-order year.

My Apple Store account still shows preparing to ship, however I went to my UPS app and it showed that at 12:27 AM Hong Kong time my “Order was processed” and is ready for UPS. It also has a tracking number. So it is on its way.

Silver iPhone 11 pro Max 512 GB.

I’m waiting on tracking for my gold pro max still. Wishing the unpopular color made it on the early plane. . All this anticipation almost makes it more exciting though.

 

[miked784]

Count me in lol

I probably checked it 50x so far today I found a site where is says it should leave it two hours.. hopefully that's correct but. I don't think im gonna be watching the plane on the map.. gotta go to work to pay for the phone

I think midnight green is the popular one this year

How come It doesn’t give me that option!

 

[BobRoss]

I'm waiting for tracking as well.

Me too!

Well let me know if we travel together this year!

Choose pickup at UPS location then pick a CC

 

[scholls22]

If my order is for a store pickup will I see any movement or is my order just associated with the store’s stock?

 

[Appleseed18]

Me too!

Me three..lol

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Choose pickup at UPS location then pick a CC

It’s not letting me do that! It doesn’t have my hub listed not sure why!

 

[miked784]

Well let me know if we travel together this year!

I will soon as I find out ill post. what iPhone are you coming from? do you update every year?

 

[Heizenberg]

all this tracking you guys are doing kind of makes me glad i'm picking mine up from the store on friday. dont have to worry about getting a tracking number and wondering if i will miss the delivery guy.

Same here. I will miss tracking the planes though.

 

[dalmoradie]

My preorder went through at 8:07am ET last friday and I got a delivery of 9/27 -10/1 on a midnight green 11 pro 256gb. I just looked a few minutes ago and discovered that the midnight green 64gb is still available for pickup on the 20th at a store in greenwich, ct (I live in NYC). I checked and i’ve only used about 40gb on my XS, So i cancelled the 256 gb and ordered the 64gb for pickup. Now i have a road trip to CT this friday

 

[SparklyOne]

i've done all sorts of combinations, including what you did too. i'll just wait until it gets scanned in state-side and perhaps closer to delivery day...maybe they don't give the option for me yet b/c of that. who knows. i'm just wishful thinking over here haha

Did you try taking the last 4 digits of your order number, adding them together, dividing that by your birth month and then multiplying by the number that is represented by the third letter of your middle name? I hear that works.

just kiddin’
