We both know there's going to be a bunch of people in here pissed off on the 3rd because the 3rd parties/carriers didn't live up to the promise of launch day delivery.I wonder if all the carrier sites and third parties are as accurate stock wise as Apple. That's crazy Apple would already be at 6 weeks while others are still lingering around launch day.
Got in on app right away at 3:01.
1 minute later, was able to place

This is my first launch experience. Pretty fun I must say. Except I could not get back to sleep. Gonna be a long day at work! I'm so happy to get this phone next Fri.
It's possible that the variant you ordered is more popular so the date slipped sooner than other variant. As for earlier delivery, as I recall, Apple shipped some Apple watch earlier than estimated this year so there is always hope that they under promised.what a piss off, you would think ordering the phone directly from the company who makes it would be easier/faster. I'm having a hard time understanding how people submitted their orders after me and have a Nov 3rd date, oh well.
Does anyone know in what circumstances/scenarios does Apple ship product earlier than the estimated time? The only 2 orders i ever did online from Apple did not ship early and was right on schedule (i think a day or so late actually).
Recently in the US it's been UPS. You can sign up for MyUPS and within the app you can have them hold it. I'm not sure if you can do that for launch day or not or if a delivery has to be made....I've managed to be home launch days so not sure but I'm sure someone on here can answer that for you...Att 11/03 space gray 256GB order completed around 3:07am.
I have a question, who apple use for delivery, FedEx or UPS? would I be able to have either one of the company to hold the phone to pick up at the facility?
thanks
I'm really hoping so. I ordered 2 64GB's one of each color. It was the silver one where i had a Nov 3rd date confirmed after i hit place order.It's possible that the variant you ordered is more popular so the date slipped sooner than other variant. As for earlier delivery, as I recall, Apple shipped some Apple watch earlier than estimated this year so there is always hope that they under promised.
