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

ztwhitman said:
My iPhone 6 Plus (128 GB Verizon, Space Grey) left China yesterday. Also, I called Apple and expressed that a friend of mine called in and got a free case and it wasn't fair and they gave me a free black leather case for the 6 Plus! It will only get delivered by the 25th though and my iPhone will be here friday the 19th

You called Apple and said it wasn't fair you didn't get a case also? What are you 4yrs old? Grow up man!
 
So mine just left Anchorage, AK, United States 09/16/2014 6:15 P.M.

If this works out like the iPhone 5 did, it will fly to Southern California Hub before flying to Oakland CA and then My House!!
 
Finally made it to Alaska, Tennesee here we come !!!

Ah, getting close... Pretty sad that my phone is traveling way more than I did this summer....
If it follows the route of all my other apple stuff it will be Kentucky > Fort Lauderdale > Me !!!
BTW, whats with the apple store tracking, they are still showing preparing for shipment, at this rate I will have the phone before they update it to shipping!

Elk Grove, (California) They have an Apple plant there. They used to make iMacs and G4 towers there. Then it was designated an iPhone Call Center. I know people who have worked there and came to take a position where I work, and left where I work, to take a position there.

So, for your information, Elk Grove is not some sort of distribution center, like UPS or such. It is actual Apple owned warehousing, manufacturing, support and development. So you could say your phone was sent to you from Apple, directly, not by some third party.

Hey thanks! That's good to know. :)
 
Canada here, phone has been preparing for shipment for about 3 days now.. UPS doesn't work for me... Delivery was suppose to be 9/19-9/23. They show my serial number though... Need an update naooo, still have hopes for Friday delivery.
 
Mine shows the same departure time out of anchorage, but I can't find a corresponding flight on flightaware.

When UPS says "Local Time" does that mean your time or China/Alaska time?

According to my tracking info, it has to be the China time...

The key is the serial number, if that shows on Apples site that would mean you and the phone are tied together. The rest is just shipping stuff.
 
Getting Applecare before the phone arrives

Is it possible to get applecare with the serial # on the apple support website before the phone arrives?

I had all the same tracking up to departing ZhengZhou for the second time. After that it has where I asked them to hold it for Will Call and nothing else. I wonder if it is still in China or if my request made it so that I can't see tracking for now.

Ordered the iPhone 6 64GB Space Grey on 9/12 at 3:50 EST. Order still says preparing for shipment. Been this way for about two days. Still says for delivery on 9/19 though. Hopefully they're right about that delivery. I CAN'T WAIT! :):p

Usually it's already in the US once it's shipped. They don't list anything till almost the day prior.
 
Just ordered the 6+ in 128 GB Silver. One month wait. Better than ordering through AT&T as it their estimated ship date is Nov. Which I don't plan on waiting that long. Used the AT&T Next 18.

After now seeing my friends order in my UPS My Choice and not mine I now realized that my order wasn't showing up in My Choice because my moms name is on the shipping label and not mine(She's the AT&T account holder and amongst all the glitches I couldn't change the shipping address when pre-ordering). Sucks now that I have to drag her down there with me(she's not a morning person). 1st world problems lmao.
 
Ordered iPhone 6 + 64 gb gold verizon on apples website at 3:39 EST Friday morning. My order switched to preparing for shipment Saturday and is still there. My phone just showed up on my support profile so I'm now confident it will be here Friday like they said. Also have to go to the Verizon store Friday to get a 6 for my mom who is taking advantage of the trade in deal and trading her 4S. She wants a 16 gb silver 6, we live in a small town so I'm not too worried about then selling out to fast. I'll probably show up to Verizon 5 minutes before they open.
 
I wish there was a way to work out my courier's codes but they're just a random bunch of numbers. :(
