7:28 for me.. sooooooooo, there's a chance that info is "old"??
Well, I'm sorry, but they're wrong. I can literally look at my tracking information and track the plane as it flies across the Pacific.
Bump. I have this exact question, and posted it here: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...-and-reserved-picked-up-in-store-how.2000501/
I want to know if anyone has reserved using the full-pay option, then switched it to another payment option in-store. I'm hesitant to cancel my pre-order without the certainty of getting the one in-store.
What if the "Weather Delay" is a delay due to emergency reasons getting supplies in/out to help those from the disaster of a few weeks ago? The same argument could be made with Hurricane Katrina and how could a storm affect normal operations a month later.
Just sayin'
I am in a chat with UPS and she tells me the package will NOT arrive. She is blaming it on Apple saying they had "special" processing plans which is why they have been in this loop. Uh.....
Seriously, nobody wants to take credit for this mess!!!!! She tells me its Apple's fault and to call them....
I've been lurking here for a while now. I ordered a 7+ 128 GB Black and got my confirmation around 3:30 Eastern. I've been preparing for shipment for about a week. Based on what I've seen here, though, that might be better than actually having shipped.
My relentless optimism won't allow me any doubt at this time. Check back after 5:00.
Yup, this is a complete joke. Two multi-billion dollar conglomerates playing he said she said, leaving the peon customers dangling in the wake.
Both companies should be completely embarrassed.
Well seeing as how my delivery has always been today and if it's still across the pacific then obviously that date is not going to be met. So doing the right thing....yeah it's an appropriate statement here.
That's assuming that the tracking information is correct. UPS listed them as being in Korea for two days when they weren't... The guy from Apple on the phone said that there has been a lot of tracking information saying that they were in Korea in Hong Kong and various places when they actually weren't... so they could've been in the United States yesterday for all we know... UPSs tracking is a mess right now so I'm not really confident than anything we're seeing is accurate.... that doesn't mean that what Apple is saying is accurate either we will just have to wait-and-see... but trusting any of UPSs tracking information at this point is a bit naïve.
Seriously, anyone is calling UPS or Apple and complaining despite the shipment currently tracking to meet or exceed the original delivery window should just have the person on the other end of the phone hang up on them.
It's like suddenly everyone apparently stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night and is now a shipping logistics expert.

Trust me, I want to be wrong. But I also think that if this were the case, surely ONE of us in this group would have had our phones delivered by now. I'm just super skeptical after the last few days.
You do understand that despite an original estimate of Oct 4-10 apple shipped to most on Sep 19-20. When doing this they updated the delivery date....so, your statement is worthless.
You DO realize that Alaska is now part of the US, right?
I was told by the only UPS rep (not Apple clone) that the scans for my package in Korea were part of this whole mess. He admitted that the issue was partially about the crazy volume of orders, (maybe blaming Apple a little on that) and that somehow some of our packages or containers got linked to a commercial flight erroneously and I guess the scans are of that flight that our phones were never actually on. Instead of deleting those from our tracking like it should have when they finally cleared up the issue (for most of us) they just left them in as part of the record and added in some fake weather/mechanical issues. Not UPS at its best. Worst part is they are now instructed (Assume by Apple) not to give delivery dates until the phones are stateside.
Hope Apple doesn't think I'm accepting a case I don't want as compensation. I want something that I actually want or a gift card. Hate when Apple offers you item that they want to give you. Probably costs them less than $5 for those cases.
Hopefully mine should update shortly. Our packages have usually been updating closely together.
I should also note that he put me on hold while he contacted someone else and the reassured me again that it is coming today... like I said we will see... it's hard to believe anything at this point... the stuff UPS was saying yesterday is a good indication that they don't know what the hell is going on.
I'm in the HK 7:12pm departure group, original 801 group (feels like an AA meeting). At this point I've laughed and cried this thing off. If the damn phone can just be state side for me to pickup tomorrow, I'll at least be happy with that. My local UPS CC is open saturdays 10am-1pm.
UPS99. It has to be. Your departure scan is almost an hour after mine and more closely matches the departure of that plane so we must both be on it
Just called Apple and now I'm angry. Finally got connected to some douche with the online store after 45 minutes of holding on the phone (was disconnected the first time, too) and he basically INSISTS that my phone will be here today and to wait till tomorrow to call in if it hasn't arrived today.
I told him I can see that it's in a plane right now over the Pacific Ocean and hasn't even made its way into the US yet and he wasn't having any of it. Guess he couldn't wrap his mind around people tracking the flights instead of using Apple's order status page.
Then he tells me to disregard UPS's shipping information because it's inaccurate. What the ****? Does this guy have any brain at all?
So I call my UPS customer center and spoke to someone who was actually incredibly helpful, he looked at the tracking, said it would get here Monday. He said it might even be here by tomorrow morning but I can't pick it up then because the customer center is closed.
This douche I spoke to today just gave me more ammunition for my case when I call back tomorrow. What an ass.
