Other Sept 28 - Oct 5 Delivery Dates

Well I woke up it 3:30 am central time. Decided to check if anything has changed and wouldn’t you know I had an alert saying my payment didn’t go thru, update payment info, well I did that(apparently I hadn’t activated the card smh) so I went through the motions and my card has been charged but nothing has changed as far a shipping status goes...now I won’t be able to go back to sleep wondering if something else is wrong or if the payment actually went thru...I must say this preorder has been smooth up to now..of course the hiccup is my fault.
Edit- received email from Apple saying that my info updated successfully. Shipping time is still the same sept 28- oct 5th.

What typically comes first:

Credit card charge?
UPS label?
Apple Store update?

I've been pre-ordering since the 6+ and the Apple Store alert is the final step....like a day or two before the phone is set to be delivered. In most cases I have been tracking my phone for days before I get the Apple alert :)

My phone has moved to preparing to ship!! I have a sept 28-oct5 delivery date. I have a feeling it’s coming sooner than those dates!

CC charged, and preparing to ship - don’t see a UPS label yet. I’m betting we will see Friday deliveries. Which stinks in a way.. I won’t be home to get it! :(

XS Max 256gb Space Gray - Verizon ordered around 5 am EST
 
i ordered an AT&T 256 GB Xs max in space gray at 4:05am pt so about 2 hours after pre-orders started. i was given a 9/28-10/5 window. as of this morning, my status has changed to preparing to ship and my card has been charged for the phone and apple care. nothing in UPS yet but i'm guessing i get it monday at the latest but perhaps friday.
 
I think Monday or Tuesday would be the earliest because they haven't left China yet. They have to ship to US and then make it through customs. From there they get sorted and sent to Louisville and then head out to us. I'm not complaining I will not be home until late Wednesday so first day I could get it is Thursday next week anyway :)
 
Woke up to my credit card being charged. Order status changed to preparing to ship. ATT 256GB Gold XS Max. Ordered was completed around 335-340am last Friday.

I think you will be surprised at how fast they can get the devices here! Friday is a little bit of a stretch I suppose, but it’s definitely do-able for them.
 
I’m in the same boat with the 28-Oct 5 delivery dates.
Of course, if Apple had been competent enough to bring ordering on-line at the correct time instead of 7 minutes late, I’d be getting it this Friday.
Not pleased with them to say the least. I’ve called, emailed Cook, received a call back on my email, but am having the feeling it’s just going to be lip-service.
I think the end of this week will tell the story.

I've preordered several times and seen it all almost lol. This time- Same boat. Nonchalantly woke up on the east coast and ordered a iPhone XS Max 256 GB - Space Gray. Think I got my confirmation at about 10am ET still sitting at Order Processing- not that I am expecting movement. To answer your question- Its more than normal to see late shipping dates when preordering the day of.

Based on other threads the demand for Max is way higher than the base size. Perhaps going for the Max was a bit XS-ive. (Sorry I was waiting on a chance to use that)

Checking back in, wasn't expecting it but no movement, no charge- I imagine having ordered much later than the majority of these posts I'll be the exit window variable.

The order page is showing preparing for shipment for me as well; I pre-ordered at 3:45am on the morning of (didn't hear my alert go off that morning). Sweeeeeeet!
 
My card got charged and preparing for shipment last night/China today. 256GB XS Max Silver ATT ordered at ~4am central time.
 
Well I’ll be damned, I’m preparing for shopping too. That’s after Cancelling my 21 delivery order because I thought the Max was too big and then reordering it like 4 hours again later lol
 
woke up this morning to find my CC had been declined for the second year in a row by my banks fraud department despite the fact that this year I called and told them a large purchase from apple.com was coming

was able to resubmit the payment I just hope that didnt further delay my order.
 
TMO Max 256 SG ordered at 3:35 am ET. Credit card has been charged. Can’t find in UPS by reference number yet. Had a 9/25-10/1 delivery date.
 
iPhone XS Max 512GB Space Gray AT&T
  • Delivery date still 9/28 -10/5
  • CC charged
  • Apple Store Preparing to Ship
  • Nothing showing under UPS tracking by reference.
 
I'm in the same boat. Credit card charged and preparing to ship, but no UPS tracking. Holding out hope for the possibility of a 9/21 delivery.

They don't update the estimated delivery date on Apple's side. You just get the new delivery date from UPS once it ships. Assuming they get out today at some point I would guess delivery will be next Monday for all of us in the US.
