T-Mobile: iPhone 6S/6S Plus Pre-Order Thread:

[AppleChic76]

Just found this image on reddit.....Yeah, let's hear it for UPS and what they have to deal with today / tomorrow!

I really do feel for them. Can't imagine all of the attitudes and drama they have to deal with on launch day. I'll be picking mine up at the Hub but if the UPS guy was coming here I'd be sure to be extra kind to him and thank him for his help--and a bottle of water if it's hot.

If you have a UPS HUB Customer Center near you, I'd opt to have it held there. because then you can get it first thing in the morning without relying on their delivery schedule.

That's exactly what I did

Started this morning off with a movement. Nice.

Was able to get UPS support chat to hold my package at the nearest distribution hub for tomorrow morning. They open at 8am. Suh-weet.

I think it's gonna be a good day.

Care to share the thread you found this on? I'm bored at work and could use some Reddit entertainment.

Worse case scenario it takes you less time than writing this post xD

Good to know! I just didn't want to have to go in to a store, or call in to a live rep - might be busy!

Anyone with no "Origin Scan" yet? My wife's phone is already "In Transit" since 10am but mine hasn't moved....

Mine says the label was created on Tuesday, and that the order was processed and ready for UPS. But no origin scan just yet.

I cracked, f**k Rose Gold, I went for the Gold. I called and canceled and now getting a Gold shipped to me. 6+ 128. ^_^

This is exactly what im about to do. I rather wait a day or two than an entire month :/

 

[jjtetu]

I was told they ship with their own SIMs but you can move yours over so you don't have to update via T-Mo.

Good to know, but will it cause us trouble? Are they model-specific, or serial number tied?

 

[Gshox]

my ups guy comes at the same time at 11 am any time i have a shipment so i'm good to go. both phones shipped, next day air just how i wanted em

 

[Los0325]

So I have two separate tracking numbers for two different phones. Do you think if I pay the $8.00 to UPS for the two hour window, they will also deliver the other phone to my house at the same time since they are going to the same house?

Same - Picking it up before I go to work. Already told my manager I may be a little distracted, he said that's fine since he's doing the same thing and will on his iPhone

Well, T-Mobile messed up and have charged me for and sent out two iPhone 6s phones. When I called they said just to refuse delivery of one of them. Anybody else have this issue? I only signed one eiv.

I had this same issue but I ended up calling UPS Customer Care and asked if they can have the phone I'm suppose to refused (RTS) sent back to the sender right away instead of it shipping to me, to send it back. Well lucky for me they mad it happen. So I can expect to receive my refund for said RTS device.

 

[jjtetu]

Useful, thanks.

You type in your new SIM number, and it deactivates your old one, and activates your new one. Easier than calling T-Mobile.

Scheduled Delivery Updated To:
Friday, 09/25/2015, by 3:00 P.M.(by end of day for residential deliveries)

Am I the only one not having a time window? End of day = 8pm...

Is it going to a business? They usually give 3PM for businesses with no window (at least not for me and I'm a MyChoice customer). 8/9PM for residential.

When will my package be delivered?

A delivery attempt for your package will be made between 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM (end of day) on the scheduled delivery date. There is no guaranteed delivery time for the service your shipper selected, and we cannot estimate a delivery time.

My 6S+ 64GB Space Gray is still not in transit. Label was created on 9/21, ordered on 9/13. Should I be concerned?

Looks like my phone will be on one of these two planes coming to Phoenix.

Does anyone know if UPS will leave the package at your door if you are not home to sign for it? I'm not sure if T-mobile is shipping on a UPS service that requires a signature.

 

[vi2867]

Still looking good for me. Last year, it was a nightmare in getting the 6 plus. It took about 4 weeks after launch. This will be the first phone I get on day of launch, since the 3G phone.

Your package does not require a signature, however the decision on whether or not to release a shipment is ultimately up to the driver's discretion. The goal is to deliver shipments in a safe area, out of public view, and protected from the weather. If your driver decides the package cannot be left, he or she will leave an InfoNotice. With the InfoNotice you may be able to hold your package at the UPS Customer Center for pickup or send your package to a UPS Access Point for pickup.

Yes, there's no guaranteed time for residential; UPS delivers to my house about 6:30PM usually but I've had them come as late as 9:30PM. Businesses get priority over residential because they typically close at 5PM and do have a guarantee of 3 or 4:30PM. The UPS guy always comes to my office at 2PM.

As I mentioned before, I'm going to offer him a cold Red Bull and a cold water!
