The "I just bought/ordered/shipped/received my new iPhone 6/6 Plus" thread

[blhoward2]

Yes but Amazon actually asks you if you want the items grouped together. I always have to approve that. They have never just done it on their own for me. They give you the choice. Apple has never asked me and/or never sent 2 separate orders together since I have been preordering. I think they just work them one by one without looking at that. It is evidenced by the fact my two phones were sent out of China 28 hrs apart. But I guess it is always possible under certain circumstances they might. They haven't for me but who knows. I would think it is more likely if two were ordered under the same order. But again, I can't say no one has ever gotten them together because I just don't know that.

Not that it matters, but I have never been asked and if you go to the Amazon page I linked, it doesn't give you an option. You're thinking of when you buy more than one item in a single order and it gives you the choice there. I'm saying that I have made two completely separate purchases on the same day and had them show up in the same box. If I selected this option somewhere in the past, I have no recollection of doing so.

Regardless, Apple could surely bury this in their terms of service and do it if they wanted. So they can do it, although they might not. I'm not saying they do, I'm just saying that they can do so if they wanted.

W00t! Just received my official invoice. Apparently shipped from Elk Grove Ca. Interesting.

Anyway, Canada's on the map.

You mean a shipment notification from Apple!?

 

[blhoward2]

That just means your order doesn't have a shipping label yet, I know it's hard, just be patient. Has your iPhone 6 shown up in the Support Profile?

? My order has a shipping label and I can retreive the tracking number with my billing phone number. But not with a shortened order number or the shipping phone number (as others have said).

i got my phone launch day at 5am EST from Apple direcly (unlocked). Got confirmation right away. Phone status switched to preparing shipment on Sunday.Its been showing delivery of 9/19-9/23 since day one.
Today is tuesday and status has not changed. No UPS tracking by reference, phone not showing under apple support profile.

Fellow Canadian who is in the dark! Details please!

When did you order, what did you order, what/when were statuses!? Don't leave us hanging man

 

[k3vinsmom]

2 phones or 1

I ordered 2 Iphone 6 and I have received ups tracking information for 1 it says the package weighs 1.30lbs could it be both together??

lol.

That's almost 1lbs so I'd say that sounds about right

 

[AppleInLVX]

You mean a shipment notification from Apple!?

Nope, that's still waiting. This was the invoice that stated that I've been oficially charged and what the charge was for. Although, it does say on the invoice:

Shipped From / Point d'expédition:
F/G Distribution Center
Elk Grove, Ca 95758

Which I'm not sure what to make of. But that's 7 hours by air to Toronto, so there should be no worries getting it to me Friday if that's the case.

If correct, that has to be. I think the 6+ is about 0.4lbs. Of course add some for the box, head phones, charge, cable, etc.

 

[k3vinsmom]

weight of package

How much does it say your package weighs? mine says 1.30lb

It still says "Order Processed: Ready for UPS" via the tracking number I got using the Track by Reference feature. The UPS mobile app says that mine will be coming from PA, but it's probably still in China at this point.

I ordered a 64 GIG 4.7" space gray. Odered at 4AM from the Apple store via iOS app. The only status is what I've already said. I expect that there must be an official tracking number showing up pretty soon if they've invoiced and shipped. I'll post when I get it.

I have that too on my invoice. But no tracking info and website still says Preparing for Shipment. You get that too?

1.00 lb, which could just be a placeholder. I ordered the iPhone 6.

 

[smccauley1011]

Sounds about right... I ordered a 64GB iPhone 6 Plus... and I have .50kg.

The weird thing about mine... it arrived 18 minutes after it departed. The new iPhone breaks the laws of physics!!

Mine did the same thing this morning

 

[Apollonian]

Thanks for the tip to use the UPS app, mine says order processed: ready for UPS. The interesting part is the Silver 64GB + came from China and the Space Gray according to the UPS app will come from Mount Juliet, TN.

I left Sprint - 2.5 years ago for Verizon after 16 years with them. My data on Sprint was so bad on my 4s Siri didn't work at times.
I actually pay less than with Sprint - and I have 10gb of data

We pay less for service, but add in the device payments (Verizon EDGE), it is more expensive. We have the 10GB plan, plus 1GB per line bonus for 2 years... so for a while, we will get 12GB. I guess not too bad.

On Sprint LTE, I got a measly .43Mbps at my house on iPhone 5. That's pitiful. My father in law's Galaxy 3 on Verizon got 6.83Mbps or so... Same location, different network.

I think it's clear that Verizon beats the pants off of Sprint in data speeds.

Has anyone ordered not with a 9/19-9/23 delivery estimate (i.e. 7-10 business days or 3-4 weeks), had their order moved up?

 

[sfilingeri]

Ordered my 64GB Gold 6, on the 13th. Still the same result as last year. No new iPhone for me, until the middle of October.

Damn you, indecisiveness!!!

Same here, middle of October for me also

These weeks are going to go by slow
128GB iPhone 6+ silver

I only ordered one and it says 1.3 lbs for weight.

Also, to everyone freaking out about still being in preparing for shipment, I think it is because Apple is doing next day saver at least with UPS. I still show preparing for shipping but ups my choice found it and that is the shipping it is using. If so, probably won't show shipped until Thursday.

I'm 7-10 and have seen nothing.

Ordered Friday at around 5 am - Attempted Earlier, but had gift cards and you can't use a gift card on the app and couldn't access the store online

64 gb iPhone 6 plus Space Gray

These days will definitely drag on!

 

[Scottych]

I got my invoice on Sunday the 14th, but still nothing on UPS. :s

 

[darkfiber]

I ordered my iPhone 6 Plus (128GB) Space Gray at 3:27AM ET (12:27AM PT) on the 12th and it still says "Preparing for Shipment Delivers: 9/19 by Standard Shipping". I would think it would have to be shipping soon if they are going to get it to me in Ohio by Friday.

 

[AppleInLVX]

Yup. Same boat. But I did not receive the invoice until about a half hour ago. Figured it was an important step.

 

[Johnny Crash]

FYI:
I ordered a 6+/64GB/Space Grey in Canada using the iPad app at 1:07AM PST 9/12 with a 9/19-9/23 delivery date. As of 11AM PST 9/16, the order is still processing.

Same here I'm in Ohio also.
