View attachment 658927 Anyone else get the email from Apple saying it would be delivered today but are sitting at home with no delivery?

Yep. I even called Apple. Today was the first time I have called anyone since this debacle began. Apple was absolutely no help. She was short with me and said she didn't know why I didn't get my phone. Started to say that it wasn't in my city yet and I explained that it is showing in my city since 7:56 this morning with a destination scan. Now UPS doesn't even show a delivery date. I was polite with the Apple cs person but she gave the vibe that she didn't care one bit. Told me to keep checking tracking then hung up on me. Great experience!
 
I really don't understand how apple is giving out free stuff to selective people. I physically had to track down my phone today because ups didn't update it was at the station and the person told me i would get it by monday on the phone. Found it it was sitting at the station since 6am today. never scanned in. Shipped monday promised by thursday and kept getting pushed back.
Ive called apple to complain and told them the problems I've been going through and the manager denies anything to do with compensation as far as a phone case or anything else. Had a manager call me back because of this but she denied it and people are getting causes i really don't understand this selective compensation on apples part.

I've always been very good at getting my point across and making companies that mess up compensate me in some way. Maybe you just got to a manager that was instructed to not give anyone cases if they got their Saturday delivery. Maybe Apple decided that if they are paying extra for Saturday deliveries, they also don't want to give what could be hundreds of thousands of cases if not more. It also didn't help that this manager thought I should get it on the 23rd. She said I don't see any reason why you shouldn't. I would have brought that up if it didn't go my way. I started working with her on her on the 22nd.
 
I had 2 that I ordered on launch day. Both were Oct 4th - 10th and got caught up in the debacle in Korea. Both arrived in Louisville overnight, and were delivered to my in TX today (Saturday) by UPS. One around the noon, and the other around 5pm.
 
don't think so. we are all in the same initial ship date. my original confirmation email was 12:14. literally ordered it right when the site was open.

Interesting. You for sure deserve compensation. Mine was at 12:26 due to multiple failures to verify my account with AT&T.
 
Well, I guess UPS decided to only scan in some of the phones they received. No activity since 9am from Oakland. 1.2 hrs on hold with UPS, too.

The best part was them saying I could've tried to pick it up at the facility but the time they picked up, they had been closed for an hour.

That's horrible!

I brought up everything. my initial ship date on the 19th and the wed delivery. Then thursday then friday then saturday. Brought up all the emails i got from apple. Told her how ups didn't update that it was even at the ups office just sitting there and never checked it.
I called ups earlier today and the lady i talked to said it was on a truck and it shows it showed up in phoenix at 6am. Didn't have any other info i called at 12pm and she said its still on the truck and ill get it monday. I ended up driving to the store and it was sitting in the back never scanned in so I'm a little mad at all of this. I basically had to track down my package apple told me i would get monday but would of never of actually gotten it if i didn't show up at the ups office.
I explained this all to her and that I've had numerous hour long conversations to apple earlier in the week. Missing time from work and or being home expecting updates.
She was just very one way and didn't budge with any of it. Said i was expected an oct delivery date and they delivered early....
So its very very dependent on who you talk to which i explained to her also. Said i could call back and talk to a different manager and they could approve it and she kept telling me that wouldn't happen. So they just hate me i guess. Should of waited till monday to maybe had it delivered

My ups store did the same thing. My phone was sitting in the office since 6-7am and never updated past arrival scan in my city.
Its probably sitting there because its saturday. They'll take their time and scan it on monday...

yea I'm pushing it now I'm asking for a higher level to email me and talked to chat again they are useless. Waste of my time honestly. Im doing the job for ups by finding my own package. Not necessarily apples fault but they should stand by the service they use.

I'm not pleased for sure. Bad thing is my UPS CC is closed on weekends. So I couldn't even drive down there and pick it up.

Ordered a total of 4 phones. 2 came in on launch day. 1 yesterday after shipping on the 19th and mine is still "shipping" after being shipped on the 19th and matching scans with the other one that was delivered yesterday for the first 4 days. Then it decided to just hang out sometime by itself I guess. Oh well. It's just a phone right?
 
I wonder if it has to do with how good of a customer you are... do you buy many Apple products, Apple Music, iCloud, iTunes??? Would be interesting to see if that has anything to do with who's getting compensated... might just depend on the situation.
I have bought every phone since the 5S, two MacBooks, 2 Apple TV'S, 4 iPads, a SS Apple watch, and still got nothing

Yes, it's just a phone. But this has been a fairly terrible experience. By far the worst I've had since I began purchasing iPhones with my 3G. Makes me especially nervous about next year if any of the rumors of a major update are true.
 
So no delivery for me here in Indy today. However, when I called Apple they did offer me a free case for each of my phones! I'll just have to wait till Monday I guess.

Departed this morning and still hasn't arrived at a destination. I live 25 miles away from Oakland. Hopefully it's not going back to China or Korea.
 
Now that most of the Saturday group got their phone and the rest should on Monday, is anyone else's just shipping out of Zhengzhou today?

Omg I just got my card charged finally!!! I haven't even received a text or email yet! I just happened to check my verizon and it changed to shipped! I checked my checking account and it took out the money!

Like I said no email yet so I don't have a tracking number yet.
 
no luck on the case via chat. the rep said i had to try and call their 1-800 number. She said since it was originally quoted as 10/4 then their is no need for any type of compensation.
 
She did say that they delivered the phone earlier than the expected ship day of oct 4th - 10th thats the reason she can't do anything. But other people are getting compensated so who the hell knows.
I got that same answer as well
