Other USA iPhone Air /17/17 Pro/ 17 Max/ Pre-Release, Order And Dispatch Thread

My Bill to address information for the Apple Card is set as the nearest Mall near me for some reason. I wonder if that will cause issues. I already see the charge on the apple card though so im hoping it pans out. Either way i ordered another for in store pickup just in case. This years preordering was weird.

I think in store pickup puts store address as bill to since you are buying at that store.

You should be able to do in-store trade in. I've had the same issue before, where it shows that they will send a kit, but when I pick up in-store they will still process the trade in.

That would be nice, maybe it's up to the stores? Which means mine probably won't do it, it's the busiest location in my state.

Weird preordering year. Got in about 5 minutes after and chose ISPU for Launch Day and when I clicked place order I got all these errors and my app crashed. When I opened it back up the order had been placed apparently, but I wasn't so sure. Then, thankfully about 10 minutes later I got the order email! Phew.

Deep Blue Pro Max, 256 with 9/19 delivery......

 

[Wise87]

Non of this is a glitch. Apple seems to wants the enthusiasts at their stores on release day. It’s a marketing publicity stunt.

Thankfully for me, I don't live near an Apple Store so I got a 9/19 dilevery date.

 

[NeNeSam]

So annoyed. Stupid Verizon. For some unknown it forced me to order through an agent. Slow as a limp snail so shipping on the 19th so who knows when it will actually be delivered. Very frustrating.

Besides the 25th delivery date, usual pre-order for me. I got in 30 seconds after 8 am through closing and reopening the app, order in at 8:01( took time to process the delivery date), and confirmation at 8:02.

9/25 will probably get updated for launch day as the week progresses (like last year)....

 

[zakarhino]

Ok I managed to cancel my 9/19 delivery orders and keep the pickup orders for 9/19.

So this happens all the time?

 

[parkds]

I wonder if the stores can't handle the pick up option. They're more focused on walk in sales now.

Seems possible. There are in-store pickup times available at some stores near me for new orders but at a few minutes after 8am no in-store pickup availability for IUP orders, and that is across like 12 stores.

I think this is the first time in probably 7 or 8 years I won't have launch day delivery. Sorta lame but not the end of the world. I just don't get how they shifted dates so soon, my order was in at 8:03 and it was already pushed to the 25th. Makes no sense.

 

[David Knowles]

Somehow I placed 2 orders. On the second one even though I selected in store pickup it was changed to delivery and of course I cannot get a hold of anyone

 

[Havok83]

I preordered through the Apple app and it said a delivery date of Sept 25. Is that normal? In the past I got it on release day. I go on vacation on the 24 so hope thats not true

 

[Zorn]

So this happens all the time?

It happens sometimes. I wouldn't gamble on it personally, I'm never that lucky.

 

[4sallypat]

Yes, as the UPS shipments start out of China, your order may get into an earlier date shipment pallet.

Mine happened many times in the past.

Tracking the UPS pallets are fun and stressful.

Pre-order confirmed at 8:02am EST
17 Pro Max 256GB silver

Try ISPU

 

[WinterWolf90]

Did the Apple Store app and was able to order and get email at 7am central. Got the orange model

 

[NeNeSam]

Surprisingly, even though Verizon forced me to order via chat with an agent, Pro Cosmic Orange 512 ordered and sipping on 9/19. Woo hoo! I was worried that because it was so slow, I would have a delayed delivery. Only thing is I wanted to pick up. Oh, well, next Friday will be doing the waiting at the window for the UPS truck thing. 😆

T-MOBILE DONT PLAY WITH ME

 

[gaedfly]

I too got ready for pre-order and chose ISPU. This morning I checked out, no ISPU option so I assumed it retained it from my prep setup but it says expedited delivery Sept 25. So I placed a 2nd order for ISPU, pick-up Sept 19. On hold with Apple endlessly to get it squared away. I don't want to leave the IUP but don't know whether they can change my IUP order to ISPU. We'll see. If not maybe they can do it in the store at pick-up time. ugh, first time this happened. And why are deliveries showing Sept 25?? Sorry, I know everyone is asking the same question. Just frustrating since I double and triple-checked my pre-order yesterday.

 

[anshuvorty]

Strangest pre order experience ever.

Have 2 orders in - one backup in case of delay on launch day....

Will return which ever is late...

I'm gonna do the same - gonna return whichever comes later...

 

[rarebeauty]

All Air model ship times not slipping even a bit. Nobody wants them 😂

I order the Light Gold Air at about 8:03 and my delivery date was already 9/25 🤷🏽‍♀️

Ok good because I ordered like 5 minutes after a 256 deep blue through the upgrade program and it says the 25th you think I should cancel and get in store pickup? Or just wait

 

[OrlandoTragic]

Try ISPU

I did, no luck.
