lol it's like Area 51!!! That's crazy! So they have their own section and they handle their own stuff and u guys just ship them for them?

Yes pretty much. Apple is not the only one that is located here. Amazon also has a warehouse within our facility and many other big companies that do a lot of shipping. But Apple is the most secure. No one I know has any clue of what really happens there lol. I know it sounds crazy but the truth. As far as how the carriers work, I believe everything goes through Apple until we ship. Then we bring innovatory to both the carriers directly and also of course directly to the customer. I am a little foggy about how that part works. It's out of our realm lol.
 
Well that's just all kinds of stupid!

Yeah. But we can't complain too much considering the are doing overnight shipping. And other still waiting to just be charged =\

Ya, as far as I can tell Apple gives them whatever Apple gives them. Right now the carriers don't have any say over anything.
 
This new UPS info would have been pretty awesome if I had been charged. Why don't you want my damn money, Tmobile?? ARGH.

I am happy for the others that ordered on the 12 that get good news though. Less happy for those that ordered after us. :p
 
Wish I had more answers but all UPS does is ship lol. We are really good at that but all this other stuff we hate. It's almost like politics to us. We just want to do our job but because of Apple its a very complicated system.

Quick question, when the Planes land during the early hours. Like 1am-5am are UPS and Apple working? Or does Apple come in at a later time?
 
Lol you're really worried huh?
Yes! I'm very worried. I don't want to make a mistake in getting the wrong phone.

Unless you're wearing nut huggers and putting it in ur back pocket without a case then you should be ok! Lol buy a case! It's exciting looking for cases hahaha

I am going to buy a case, but I want a slim case. I almost feel like it won't be enough. I do like to carry my phone in my front pocket a lot.
 
I can't believe it my status just changed to shipped. The tracking number isn't showing up in UPS but it's there in the T-Mobile system. I am so excited and at least I know it's coming. I got the case for it today and I just hope it's not too big. This has been one crazy week. Just hope to have it by Saturday.

Phone: Iphone 6+ Silver 16GB
Ordered: 9/12 6:30am
Jump: Yes
9/22-9/30 Email
CC Charged: 9/23
 
Am i the only one who ordered on the 12th and still hasn't been charged....or gotten an update? :/
 
You know the worst thing for me right now is that I happen to be working overnights for a little bit and i keep getting woken up early so I get constantly check for updates all day and all night T_T:(
 
Joining In...

Have been lurking for awhile and decided to join in the conversation. Excited to see that the early birds are finally getting some good news about shipment.

I agree It's not fair that they have been waiting this long for their phone even though they ordered early.

Thanks very much, I appreciate it. I know how hard the folks at UPS work, my late husband worked there a few years, and it was by no means an easy job. I'm always grateful to you guys for what you do.
 
Not gonna lie!! I sorta feel bad for tmobile just cuz they really have their hands tied behind their backs. It's all on whatever Apple gives them and on their time. I'm not excising tmobile for their system and pre order mistakes it's just with all of us bitchin at them they really didn't know much at all LOL learn something new everday!
