For those who ordered on att.com how are y’all getting your tracking numbers? I ordered 5 Pro Maxes but the FedEx app doesn’t show any deliveries from AT&T coming. I ordered Friday at 7:00 am CT and all ordered show “preparing for shipment” on their website order status page.
I have a Fed-Ex account. Any time a shipment label gets created with my address the information automatically shows up in the Fed-Ex app, as long as I'm signed into my account.

EDIT:. And my iPhone 12 Pro Max is on it's way! Finally received a shipping update from Fed-Ex that they have picked up my package. Going to be a hell of a long 3 days.

Ordered mine at AT&T Launch day @ 6pm.....Still says Preparing To Ship with DELIVERY Date for 11/13. However, No tracking in UPS or Fedex database.....Friend ordered hers Sat and it says 11/13-11/20 as the SHIP date........Do we think I'll still be good for Friday?

I’m in a similar boat except my order was completed 10 mins after launch. Still shows preparing to ship but also a delivery of 11/13. Contacted Apple and they said it’s still on schedule. But I see nothing on UPS or FEDEX using my address or phone number. Says “no deliveries scheduled for this address”. Getting worried. It’s 3 days from 11/13 and no signs it left China like everyone else has seen with theirs.

Did you order from AT&T or Apple?

I’m signed in and can see other shipments just not my iPhone shipments
 
Y'all im so confused so does the apple store jus say preparing to ship till Friday?
Don’t be confused. The only thing that’s sure is that you’ll get an email when it’s on it’s way to you and that should be sometime between now and Friday.

Then, you’ll get it on Friday unless something horrible happens. Heck, if there’s a mixup with the back end system, you could even receive it WHILE it still says preparing to ship! :) So, jus sit back, relax and enjoy your phone on Friday.
 
Mine, like many of yours here, is just leaving Anchorage, Alaska now. Here's where you'll really start to see it move.
My phones must be in the same shipment as yours, since my three Pro Max iPhones departed Anchorage, AK at 12:24am on 11/10. Really wish I knew what time they will be delivered to me in NC so that I don't have to sit home all day! I tried rerouting them to a local UPS store for a $5.99 fee per phone, however it would have delayed delivery from Friday to Monday.

Thank you hopefully I do get it on Friday 😃
 
Yup I’m in the exact same boat. Bought mine on the Apple app. I’m doing monthly payments through Verizon. I was finished ordering 10 mins after preorders started. Been sitting at “preparing to ship” since night time on 11/6. Had no issues while ordering. Praying it’s some glitchy crap. I’ll be highly disappointed if it’s not here in my hands this weekend!!!

Yikes! I know what you mean! I have mine coming to my home as well! I'll be working that day, but I have it being delivered to the management office in my building, so depending on what time it actually arrives, I may try to leave work early so I can pick it up! I remember having my shipment changed the year the iPhone X dropped. I had it re-routed to deliver to my local UPS store, but I don't remember paying that much when I did it. Of course that was three years ago, so I'm sure it's just a regular price increase. Still, I totally get wanting it for the weekend, and NOT a Monday.

Similar boat here. I ordered my Pro Max from Apple 6 mins after opening. I just checked after giving up for a day or so, and now it's finally presenting as "Preparing to ship" with a delivery date of Fri Nov 13. If the past has taught me anything, UPS will update with an early delivery, only to miss that date, and possibly the 13th as well. Hope it's different this time, but you know what they say about the definition of insanity....

Yep, mine is the same shipment as yours, but shows no movement after that departure scan at 12:24am on 11/10
 
My Pacific Blue iPhone Pro Max left Alaska at 2:34am! This is my 3rd pre order through Apple, first time actually receiving it on launch day.
 
Ugh this is the worst. Ordered at ATT....still says preparing to ship. Still says delivery date 13th. No shipping info from any carrier. Guess I'm screwed?
 
Mind will be shipped from Apple US warehouse.

I’m in the same situation but with Verizon. I still ordered from Apple though. Finished 10 mins after launch. Still says delivery 11/13. I’m so anxious. I wanna know if it’s coming!!

Yup I created accounts for both carriers and nothing. I just texted Apple to find out what’s going on. I’ll let you know if I hear anything useful

This is what Apple just told me... “The preorders are on a plane now for Friday delivery / once the phones land and are received into the United States you will get shipping / tracking updates.” He also said... “I would be surprised if you didn’t get it Friday. The orders are prioritized”... still doesn’t make sense as to why we cannot view any tracking info but other people can
