My carrier is T-Mobile and my pickup date is Nov. 3rd 8am. I ordered via the website since the app was still not responding. I selected in-store pickup so I could get it earlier than delivery. Both options for me were Nov. 3rd.
Got a tip for us?

The 3rd is the day the phone comes out. Just like any other product released, a date is given as to when it comes out. Nowhere does Apple say "you will get your phone on the 3rd" before you order it. Nowhere.
Let's take another example: movies. All movies have a release date. That is the date the movie first becomes available to view in the theaters. In no way does that guarantee you will be able to see that movie on that date. If it's a popular movie, and you arrive too late to get your tickets (or don't purchase them online fast enough) and it sells out, you won't be able to see it. No one is breaking a promise here. We all understand that. If the disgruntled would-be movie goer then approaches management and starts making a stink about how the movie said the release date was that day, so they must be allowed to see the movie otherwise they're at fault for false advertising ... they'd look like an idiot.
Much like we're seeing in this thread.
I’m guessing they’ll recognize it for what it is within about 30 seconds after he starts. That would be when I stick the noise cancelling headphones in my ears.
I see what you did there. Good use of banana.

I was up half the night. I told my boss what I was up to. I came to work on time the next day. Boss texted me, how you doing? I told him how it worked out. Easy peasy.
If you are looking for a reason to not go to work, I say do it on delivery day, at least so you don't leave the package at the door for someone else to pickup.

He can't do that. He's not getting one because he CANCELLED HIS ORDER. #bwahahaha
[doublepost=1509310336][/doublepost]Had you selected to have it shipped to you, you would have received a 11/10-11/17 delivery window. That happened to everybody who ordered T-Mobile on apple.com or with the app and had it shipped and placed their order in the first 10 min or so. It said 11/3 for me as well, but once the order went through it said 11/10-11/17. I got my order through at 12:03
Odd. My sister got in at 3:02 am EST and got a November 3rd date. She said she initially had the Nov 10th - 17th and then it changed to November 3rd... which is good, because she would be complaining for 2 weeks about it.. Thank you Apple for the upgrade in ship date.

Really? You are going get all worked up over a 1 week delay over a freaking phone? Well, bless your heart.... you expect to jump into line over people waiting because of your stupidity... you ain't that special.... like allthingsapple!, I set my alarm for 2:45 am EDT, ordered a phone & wireless charging pad, went back to sleep and woke at 7:00 am EDT to go to work. I was happy that I was getting one ..... ok, it was a iPhone 8 plus, but I did pay about $1000 for it...
Yes that’s true, all of us who got the initial 11/10-11/17 date got bumped to 11/3
Nobody told you that you'd receive it on the 3rd. The only reason you have to wait until mid December is because you acted like child who didn't get his own way. You only have yourself to blame and if you can't understand that (or the fact Apple "told you" you'd get one in the 3rd), maybe you don't deserve a $1000 phone.
OP is definitely getting torn a new one..this thread should now be locked and thrown in the wastelands where it belongs.
What do I have to do to be called „most loyal customer“?Just curious
Just start a new threat and call yourself that. Might not hurt to throw a fit in the initial post, while you’re at it.
