Carrier T-Mobile 2018 New iPhone Pre-Order Thread

Boston folks with ground shipping, have you seen any updates on your tracking? I don’t have anything since the origin scan on 9/21. Expected delivery is the 25th.

Contemplating trying to go to the store since I won’t be home on the 25th/for the next 7 days after that.

Historically. UPS ground scans for Boston usually show up in Framingham or Windsor CT not much earlier than the day before it will be delivered. I had ground shipments leave the west coast and never to be seen again to only show up in CT at like 3am and had it delivered that day. So you'll probably see scans in this area tomorrow with delivery on the 25th.

I ordered 2 phones from the T-mobile local store on Friday. Does anyone know if T-Mobile has signature required for the phones or do they just drop them off at the door? Switching from AT&T so I don't have an account and I can't track the phones. Need a working phone to create an account. Thx.

Thanks - though not the answer I was hoping for.

JOD folks that pre-ordered, any success on re-ordering/picking up in store and refusing your original package?

I've heard mixed results. Mine did not require a signature. If you sign up for UPS My Choice (it's free) and it's being delivered in your name to your address the shipment will show up in the My Choice account when the label was created. T -Mobile sent me my shipment confirmation email a day after the phone was delivered so don't rely on that.

Anyone who's gone that route hasn't had the opportunity to refuse delivery yet let alone the time to return the package to T-Mobile, so it remains to be seen. However, I think it's worth trying if you have to go away and can't be there to take delivery, but just be ready to fight T-Mobile on your first bill. It's the only reason why I decided against this myself -- I'll be here to take delivery so it wasn't worth it for me personally. You can also ask the sales rep to contact internal support to make sure everything will be okay if you attempt this and take good notes on your account.

Awesome. Never knew that existed. I see the package saying "Order Processed: Ready for UPS" Thanks a lot!

I'm in the same boat as you with my second attempt at getting a new phone. Mine is order processed as well. UPS website shows delivery tomorrow which isn't true. When they actually scan the package in their system with the origin scan it'll update to Tuesday or Wednesday delivery (2nd day air for me) so yours should leave TMobile tomorrow and be on its way to you

UPS my choice and reschedule delivery for Tuesday.

I have gone to mychoice and tried to specify the time of delivery but it isnt available for my package.

It looked like the reschedule day IS available. If anyone knows, is selecting a time only available once the package gets into the city??? Mine still only shows departing Ky but not in my city yet. But still shows delivery tomorrow.

***I did upgrade my Mychoice membership recently using the trial period. Assuming that matters.

Changing the time is almost never available. You have to have a specific shipping method. Just switch the day so you'll be home.

Signature required. Sign up for UPS my choice. It's linked you your address. You'll see info about all packages ups is Shipping to you. You can also sign online and authorise them to leave the packages at your door.

Geez sucks you've seen no movement. Thought about checking to see if a local T-Mobile store has one in stock and cancelling your order before it ships?

Wassup brotha. Im in Rego Park, package in Uniondale, Long Island RN. Im hoping to get it tomorrow instead of Tuesday
 
Mine has been sitting in the next town over since Friday afternoon, so if I don’t get delivery tomorrow I’d be unbelievably annoyed. Looking forward to playing with it tomorrow though I have to work all day and part of the evening :/

Anyone else have a shipment that left Louisville Thursday night and is headed to CA with no scans since then?

Mine shipped out Thursday and I’m in Los Angeles County and got my phone Friday afternoon. That’s really weird it hasn’t left yet. Did you preorder on the 14th?
