I tried to order on the Apple site right at 3am but was having a ton of issues so I decided to just order from Verizon. Took 2 seconds, no issues at all, and I got a confirmation email immediately! Can’t wait!
I love the anxiety of the pre-order period! It's like Christmas! Haha
 
Looked back and saw that the iPhone X preorder thread for Verizon had a mix of UPS and Fedex shipments. I guess they use both?

Can anyone confirm?
Last year FedEx for me.

I had to get customer service apply a $60 credit onto my account because they could not apply my device dollars. Now ive got a code I cant use. At least they did credit my account the $60, plus $60 for the activation fees and $20 as a loyalty credit go the HUGE hassle with the pre order garbage.

It was like pulling teeth to get that $60 for the device dollars, took over an hour.
I had the same issue last year it was not fun but this year they worked fine.
[doublepost=1536965339][/doublepost]In the past Verizon did not allow for packages to be held at Fedex Depots. Is it still the case that they have to make one delivery before they can hold the package at the Depot ?
 
You don’t get $100 on top. You get a minimum of $100 or market value if the amount is higher than $100.
Oh...don’t I feel stupid.

They always send to me via Fed Ex.
They always send mine UPS. I heard (not necessarily from a official source) that they use UPS mostly but FedEx in areas where UPS isn’t as cheap? Reliable? Prevalent?

Correct. All about the $$$
 
Did anyone else have a terribly difficult time ordering? It took me an hour to place my preorder. The website kept timing out. Somehow I still got both a phone (XS Max 256 SG) and an Apple Watch for launch day!

I've typed everything into that and I have no luck, unless you have a better angle. lol

I got on the website on my Mac, got the phone in my cart, went through the screens and then it froze up on me. I switched to Safari and then it worked! Got my order in at 2:04 am. Sept 21 delivery. SG Xs 256 gb.

Nah, apple failed on an update except Xs Max. There's no hype around this release at all.
 
I got the XS Max in gold and I’m coming from and iPhone 8 Plus so I don’t think the size will be much of a change I’ll just have to get used to not having a home button, which I don’t mind because I’m kind of getting sick of Touch ID not working half the time. Any of you have a X think not having a home button is better?

I adapted to not having a home button the first day, now it just feels natural to swipe my apps away. You'll probably see what I'm talking about.
 
I had to call mine in. My iphone X and device payment were not on the same phone number. Now I am squared away for next year. I have a gold Max 64gb coming next Friday :)
 
Had to wait until later today to pre-order (sigh) Ship/delivery date is now 10-3. The eye roll is real.

Same I had to cancel mine because I ordered the Xs at first smh after all these years I still managed to mess it up hopefully we get a week or 2 push up as normal

You’re not going to miss it. Going from the 7 to the X was like leaping into the future.

Face ID is infinitely better than Touch ID. The OLED screen is amazing and makes the old LCD screens look horrible. You won’t regret it.

(I have a X and an 8 Plus. I regret that purchase since after a little less than a year it’s only worth $400 in trade in value. I wish I waited for the Xs Max.)
