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

I doubt that Tracking numbers will be available today. From last year mine was live on Sunday, saved a screen shot lol.

When they used to ship more FedEx and you could order through the carrier, you could enter the phone number and get tracking really early. That doesn't usually happen with UPS and honestly it's not going to change anything.

I wouldn't be that worried. You'll get it on the 20th

He meant "wouldn't"

Yes you can with UPS My Choice! Using phone number, order number less the last 2 digits but its too early. Might be able to see your tracking tomorrow

You can still do that with UPS. As soon as a label has been created your order number and phone number can be used as a reference.

You don’t need my choice to track with a reference. If you have my choice it may automatically show up for your deliveries though but sometimes that doesn’t happen until it gets imported.

 

[foxcrane]

That is normal. Since you can’t use the last 2 numbers the first digits can match multiple orders.

That is crazy that it would be so easy to look up deliveries of other people. Based on the other reference (phone) numbers and the destination city/state, I was able to determine who the person is, their age, address, and linkedin profile. Apple needs to tighten this up.

There you go a screen shot from last year. Labels get created Monday morning China time

 

[dmacrye]

To sign up you would probably have to either own the business or have something do to with their shipping. Since my choice is tied to the name and address.

Sure. One of the people mentioned that they have their own shop, so I thought it was worth mentioning.

That’s not a big deal? All that info you found is public info anyway.

Mine is scheduled for a pick up at my local Apple Store first thing in the morning on Friday, September 20th. Do the ones going to the stores say “preparing to ship” because the next thing after “processing” isn’t “preparing to ship” but is “check in?”

Yes, you will get an email the night before or morning of pick up to give you check in instructions.

In that case you might not see any updates until its ready for pick up

They're not shipping it to you, so IIRC the answer is no. You'll just be notified it's ready for pickup.

You can probably still track it when a label gets created. Just the status on apple.com wont change

Yes it's all public, but now I can relate it to a UPS package, and now I'd be able to create a My Choice account and re-direct the package.

Nope, for those who choose the in-store pick up, you will never see the Preparing to ship and the status will change to "Ready for Pick Up" on Launch day.

No you can’t. You don’t have enough info to create an account because the name on the package only shows if your logged in and that’s needed to associate an account to an address

I just realized that in my haste, i selected iPhone Payments instead of iPhone Upgrade Program. I'm so bummed.

No you can’t see tracking info. It’s being shipped to Apple not us so we won’t get any of that info.

Contact Apple they may be able to change it or you may be able to return it to an Apple store and re buy it under IUP.

Anyone with multiple orders who had an initial “HOLD” on any of them and now it still shows as “PROCESSING,” you may want to call Apple to confirm your orders.

I just got off the phone with Apple regarding 2 orders I placed at the same time; Order #1 had had a “Hold” on it this morning (I had paid with the new Apple Card) Order #2 did NOT (paid with regular credit card). I received an email asking me to confirm my payment info on Order #1 (the Hold order w/Apple credit card) while Order #2 had already changed to “Preparing for Shipment.” This was around 9:30am. I confirmed the payment, but after several hours, there was no change in status to Order #1, so I called Apple to make sure BOTH my orders were OK.

THANK GOD I CALLED! Turns out Order #1 paid with my Apple credit card had been CLOSED, as in, someone at Apple PHYSICALLY CLOSED MY ORDER, even though I had already confirmed my payment info online this morning, and I hadn’t called or text chatted with ANYONE at Apple until now! I specifically got the Apple Credit card to make this purchase, so WTF!! I had NO idea my Order #1 w/Apple card had been CLOSED, I have a high credit limit and very few purchases so that wasn’t the issue. Anyway, if you are STILL seeing “PROCESSING” on any order and it hasn’t changed to “PREPARING TO SHIP,” you might want to call Apple and check. My rep reopened my order so I still have 9/20 ship date, but literally I wouldn’t have known Order #1 had been closed bc I didn’t received ANY notification or email that it had!! Sheesh!!!

So I have an interesting situation. I have been a part of the Apple upgrade program for three years now, I always upgrade every year in September. I upgraded this year through the upgrade program, linked to my Verizon mobile number. The next day I ported my number out to another carrier which canceled my Verizon account. So far this hasn’t affected my apple.com order, but I freaked out a little bit when I realized I didn’t even think of that as causing a potential problem with my pre-order. Also I thought it was interesting that even though I don’t actually have a contract with Verizon, I was charged a $40 upgrade fee. Had I just selected the unlocked option instead of Verizon I probably wouldn’t have been charged that. Might call and see if I can try fighting that once everything arrives.

 

[foxcrane]

No you can’t. You don’t have enough info to create an account because the name on the package only shows if your logged in and that’s needed to associate an account to an address

I already have the guy's name; was able to find it by searching his phone number, which was another reference number.

Did anyone else notice, when applying for the pre-approval, that applecare+ wasn't included in the base price? I always thought it was included until I was applying and noticed that I had to add ~$8 a month for applecare+ or ~$12 for applecare+ with theft and loss protection. I can't seem to find a breakdown of my monthly payment anywhere now though. I went back in to the app to start the process again but it now shows that it's included in the price but I know for a fact, it was a little over $8 a month for standard applecare+ and a little over $12 for the theft and loss. Any help would be appreciated ty ty

Don't mix up Apple's financing plan( doesn't include AC+) with the Apple Upgrade Program( includes AC+).
