My polishing cloth arrived via TNT overnight express lol. Estimate was originally Dec 3 to 12 so I got it a month early.

That elaborate delivery packaging - more cardboard than the actual package for the cloth.

The cloth is nice but smaller than I thought. It’s much thicker than the ones you get from the optometrist.

Id be wiping down all my Apple devices with this now!
build up your shrine, lol
 
We're on the move! I still don't believe the Nov 4 estimate, but at least something is happening now.

Question:

Apple told me this morning the reason I could not complete my pre-order on 10/18 was due to them not allowing any pre-order discounts from programs like Veterans and Military Purchase Plan - I told them I had never seen that advertised during or before purchase process.

Can anyone point out Apple's disclaimer to this effect or grab a screen shot to post?

Honestly I have never seen anything like that when ordering (read the small print, lol). Just curious and forlorn knowing I am looking at 11/29 to 12/3 or later for delivery. Anybody in that time frame for orders seeing delivery dates being updated sooner? Hey, I can dream! I want level 7 brightness!

I knew as soon as I saw your name in my notifications, that your damn cloth arrived. 🤦‍♂️😂

Early delivery is always nice. 👌 still not getting one though.

She does look nice, still a no though lol.

Congrats on the early delivery. 👌

That is strange. I had no problem placing my pre-order through the Veterans page.

Awesome! You’ve joined the club. 😁 Now, if only my Jan 11-25 order would suddenly appear on my doorstep. 🤩

That's a bummer you're not able to get the 10% discount. I completed my order within the 1st 5 minutes and got the discount with no problems.

Yes, I am still in major disbelief over the whole process. Honestly I think it is hogwash. It was my first time using the Veterans and Military Purchase program, although I first logged into ID.me in 2019. Now I will be lucky to see my order in December, very disappointing.

6 years USAF & 33 years NOAA/NWS.

When I spoke with Apple earlier today I told them that as a veteran they made me feel like a 2nd class citizen. I also told Apple the 10% discount wasn't worth the hours of time I have spent trying to get a valid explanation for using the program, and that in retrospect, I wished I never utilized it.
 
Not yet. They'll head from PANC-KSDF. Once they clear the customs and scan there, they'll head out.

BL.

That means our package flight is most likely by UPS 91! Fingers crossed it leaves soon 🤞
