well me too.... but it's annoying because when i talk to UPS they keep telling me conflicting things.... like the one i just talked to said it was on a plane headed to Louisville and then i just spoke with another person that said this - "I do apologize for the conflicting information given, it appears that the supervisor spoke with you before the shipment was further scanned .

According to my records, the package may experience further delays as we have a contractual agreement with the shipper which limits the amount of packages that can be handed over to UPS on any given day"

so it is now delayed...

@caligirl - i get your point and i'm not being a douche to them but it is also their job.... i'm just annoyed because clearly they do not know what is going on. i am travelling for work all of next week so would be nice to get this new phone friday as expected.

So, your distrust of UPS made you call into an overworked call center to get conflicting info?

This must be your first pre-order.

Agreed. It is still in the 90s over here in the middle of NC. Crazy hot.

To be fair, we’ve gotten more rain the last month, but these hot days can be gone. Luckily it’s supposed to be cooler in NC come Wednesday and until the weekend for the time being.

i haven't been following your threads but if UPS site says it will be delivered friday, it will be delivered friday. unless yours was in the group that had estimated delivery date of next week then you probably can expect it next week.

i don't get why people aren't trusting UPS and the delivery dates..they've been doing this for years. this isn't their first rodeo. they won't fu*k this up. too much at stake. apple is a huge contract for them!

ESR full screen. It has a black "border" that goes to the edge vs the ones that kinda plop on the middle of your screen and you feel every time to sweep up. We used this brand on our X phones, so I bought the same brand for my new 11PM

Almost ordered that, then was afraid I might get a case that it wouldn't work with so went with the Spigen.

I find that impossible to believe since many who ordered minutes or even hours later fared better. Makes no sense.

And, these people ordered the EXACT phone as you, the same configuration, etc? It all depends on how fast you get in, place your order, and which phone you want. Some of the people who ordered ”hours” after you may have ordered a completely different phone!

My favorite that I've visited is the Chicago North Michigan Ave store. I didn't see the Lincoln Park store, though.
The old one or the one by Tribune Tower on the river? I have been there once, it's nuts! I bought my first iPad at the old Apple Store up by Watertower Place.

Even the years with the typhoon hold ups and import hold ups... and all the nail-biting... our phones still got here.

It's early. Wait until you hear something to get concerned.

alright thank you.. i will relax lol. Yes it is my first pre order so perhaps i am anxious and excited with all of you. The ominous nature of not knowing where the phone is at the moment is kind of fun

It said that last year to don't worry. It doesn't mean much its just because of the way the shipping works since everything is being held until the 20th it confuses the system sometimes.

You'll see reports of phones leaving China, then going back to China, and other such nonsense. It's a massive, complicated operation to ship all those iPhones, but you'll get it when it's scheduled to arrive. I've been preordering for years and these threads are always entertaining.

I'm going to be stuck waiting for delivery on Friday. I didn't notice the deliver to store option (too early I guess) Both phones are in china now just waiting for their ride to the US.

I still have to go and pick up my watch though so unless our phones come early my husband will stay and wait. Oh well. UPS says by end of day right now although the phones have been delivered earlier most of the time. A few years ago I missed UPS and had to go and pick them up at the office that night. I don't want to do that again.
