Sorry, let me rephrase. I think 11/3 delivery was impossible to get for VERIZON Silver 64GB even if you ordered at 3:01AM. I haven't seen any success. Much like the T-Mo issue of no one being able to get it.
I got in through the app at about 12:04 and I was very fast, only a few seconds. Had it saved as a favorite, added AppleCare and hit to add to bag and then didn’t look at anything, just clicked on bag and then Apple Pay. My order shows as in progress, delivers 10 Nov -17 Nov. Apple has been known to surprise people with faster delivery.

I have a feeling that the bulk of the T-Mobile models were allocated directly to T-Mobile. What lends credence to that possibility is that iUP customers who are on T-Mobile can't sign up for iUP through Apple's website and must do it in person. As such, it would make more sense for these customers to opt for one of T-Mobile's installment plans and preorder online, rather than taking the chance with walking into a store to preorder a device that's in high demand.
T-mobile silver 64 GB ordered around 2.15 AM CT. I ordered two phones, one after another. Both show:
Order In Progress Delivers 17 Nov, 2017 - 24 Nov, 2017 by Standard Shipping.
Last year those who ordered on T-mobile site had many issues so Apple must have diverted bulk of phones to T-mobile assuming that less than 5% order directly on Apple web site. Even though I have been with T-mobile 12+ years, I still prefer ordering an iPhone on an Apple store web site. I am pretty sure the dates will move up after Monday. As long as I get mine before thanksgiving, I am fine.

T-mobile space gray 256 and silver 256
Both expected delivery 11/10 - 11/17
Ordered at 3:05 and got confirmation email almost immediately.

This is correct. No need to call, all pre-orders ship expedited. This happens every year.
I don’t think this is the issue because aside from launch day delivery, T-Mobile availability slipped at the same rate as Verizon and ATT. If there was really no allocation for T-Mobile customers ordering through Apple, the availability would have slipped much faster than the other carriers. The only phase of delivery that showed any difference was launch day.
That's also possible. A lot of T-Mobile users who ordered through T-Mobile reported Nov. 3 delivery dates, only to receive e-mails that stock is extremely limited and release day delivery is not guaranteed. There's a thread over on TmoNews with a few people discussing this.
Same here. 2:05 central time confirmation. TMobile 64gb Silver. Nov. 10-17. Hoping for the best.
Ya, I think the only thing we can say for certain is that T-Mobile is the worst carrier to be with during iPhone preorder season haha.
This is true! I'm on AT&T (ordered the T-Mobile variant to bypass carrier verification) and I've heard some less than flattering stories about past iPhone preorders on T-Mobile.
Hey! first of all tanks for your reply.
Well, actually there is no problem if the package arrives before him. I´ve called to the hotel and they have no problem on holding the package for him. Today I woke up at 4am (00:00 Pacific Time) hoping to be able to place my order and get the iPhone on the first shipments. But as I told you when I placed my order it already had a 2-3 weeks delay. So I hope to be able to track the package in real time so I can call to the Hotel and tell them to reject it in case it is arriving too late.
Hi, I’m in a similar situation to yours, perhaps even tighter. My friend will be staying in the hotel between Nov 8th and the 13th.
My question is, if I take the total risk of following through until I have a confirmed delivery date and the phone arrives after my friend leaves, will a refused delivery start a return/refund process?
Thanks!
Chiming in here to echo the other TMo buyers. When I finally got the Apple Store app to load I added my favorite to the cart and started checking out. The delivery window for a 256 Silver X was already 11/10-11/17 but it was available to pick up on launch day which I went for. But when I tapped the Apple Pay button nothing was happening. There wasn't an error state telling me to choose a pick up window. I chose my window and tapped Apple Pay again and nothing happened so I went for the 11/10-11/17 delivery window. Order confirmation arrived at 12:06am PST. There is most definitely something going on with Tmobile orders so I hope we do get pleasantly surprised.
Ordered the 64GB, Space Gray, T-Mobile (no contract) version and received an email confirmation at 00:06 AM (PDT). Anyone in a similar situation? And do you guys think we may be able to get them on November 3rd?
Ordered 256 space gray, confirmation email 12:03am PDT nov 10-17.
Last year with the jet black 7+ I was able to get a launch day phone.

I was in at 3:03, email confirmation at 3:04. (Delivers Nov 10- Nov 17) Like everyone, I saw no Nov 3 delivery. I really hope Apple pulls in all Nov 10-17 dates for launch.
Started refreshing the Apple Store app at midnight. It wouldn't update until five minutes past midnight for me. Now I've got a November 10-17 delivery date; keeping my fingers crossed Apple will be able to beat their estimate.
