Things are weird this year, definitely. Mine made it to Houston yesterday at 4:41 pm and stopped there. That’s the scan at IAH airport. Usually, around 10 pm my 2nd Day Air packages leave that facility to get to the local facility in Stafford but not this time. I’m hopping it is glitch… I don’t really want to deal with a lost package…

Same here, mine is usually “out for delivery” by now :( it just says “on the way” with the last status in Louisville.
 
Guessing the last scan was delayed to post and it is really in my city... packages here usually dont get Out for Delivery Scans until 9-930. So we shall see.

Mine is on the truck for delivery. Haven’t gotten the OTD message yet.
 
They're asking if Sam's gives gift cards and waived connection charges like you get when ordering through Costco.
I obviously took it as meaning general perks through T-Mobile. In reference to my phone purchase, they did not offer up anything except free activation for me because I didn’t want to upgrade my existing plan and my phone was older. There was a person talking to another rep and they were throwing in a gift card which they bumped up the amount if he added internet and put his cell plan at a certain level. Not sure what the $ amount of the gift card was or if he still got it with whatever plan he ended up with.
 
I mean its better than waiting in the queues and returning home empty handed 😂
lmao for real! After my phone is all set up I’m going to brave the Apple Store for a screen protector. So relieved I always preorder on time and get the launch day excitement with the promise of a new phone instead of just needing to take my chances.

Yeah I always make sure I have a new case waiting for phone delivery day, it goes on before I even boot the phone up. I went with the clear ESR this time. I planned on keeping it permanently but then I saw THIS case and thought it would look great on the orange phone 😂 it’ll be here Monday! Year round Halloween vibes for the Pumpkin Spice iPhone 🎃

I’m all about Halloween vibes all year 😂 I’ve had a set of plastic bats on my wall from Aldi for several years, right above where my Christmas tree goes. I need to get little Santa hats for them.
