I just pre-ordered 4 phones through Verizon online ... (1) 13 pro max and (3) 13 pro's ... all said they should deliver by 10/8. We'll see.
 
Hmmm. The iphone 13 pro allegedly coming my way weighs in at 2.1 pounds. I also ordered a 13 pro max for my wife. Is it possible the two devices are in the same shipping box?
I ordered two pro max, shipment is 2 pounds. each phone has about 8.5 onus, which is half a pound. I believe two phones in one shipment.

On way to apple to do what exactly? Tomorrow is the launch. It should be easy to find one in stock tomorrow if that’s your goal. The only hiccup now is if Verizon cancelled it or find another line to upgrade. Pop in at Verizon at open.
I wanted to see if they could match the Verizon deal then I'd just get everything from then. I'm driving right by them anyway soon. But on the phone with Verizon since the cancelled iPad is apparently not cancelled and he's trying to see if he can do something.

Even if the original iPad is still stuck on the order, I have time to return it.
 
I received the shipping info for my 1TB Pro Max yesterday however surprisingly enough, it’s coming via FedEx, not UPS. My wife’s 256 Max is being delivered via UPS. Gotta love covid-19 affected logistics.
Lucky, I hate ups, they don’t deliver to my neighborhood until like 8pm

I ordered one Pro Max and my shipment is also 2 pounds. I think with all of the packaging it should be 2 pounds per phone.

Oops, now things are getting intersting. I ordered two phones at the same time, so far, only one shipment. Also, the package from West Chester, PA, is that normal?
 
I ordered two 256gb 13 Pros just minutes after the preorder released as I had two tabs open with all of the trade in info already put in waiting to add it to the cart. Likewise, Verizon also messed up my address by dropping the East from the end of the street name, but the USPS and UPS trade in boxes still found me.

My expected delivery date is still tomorrow however it still hasn't shipped. My FedEx and UPS apps haven't picked it up yet either. We shall see what happens.

Yes mine's coming from West Chester as well. Still hasn't left but I assume it will later this afternoon. Now I'm hoping they sent me an extra iPhone by accident.
 
Mine has been stuck in West Chester PA since 9/20 at 9:57AM. No movement since. Delivery still scheduled for tomorrow by 7pm.

That would be exciting news; please let me know when you receive it.

My Pro 256GB Sierra Blue finally moved. Tomorrow’s the day 😁 a little weird that it just suddenly scanned in Fresno to departing Louisville lol
 
I’ve had zero luck in convincing a driver to leave my iphone via note. I attempted this method with my iPhone X and XS Max in previous years to no avail. Do you have UPS my choice? I think there may be an option to pick it up at your local distribution center or have it preemptively signed via your UPS choice account IF Apple/Your carrier has allowed it.
I've left signed notes in the past without issue, but it sounds like it is hit or miss/up to the driver's discretion. Fingers crossed it will work this year because I can't take the day off.

My Choice does not give the option to pre sign or redirect the delivery. Seems like Verizon has locked it down. The crazy thing is the ups driver will be dropping off my iPhone coming from apple without sig requirement but my wife’s from Verizon with signature required may not get left. 😒

I don't get why they took such a hardline position this year. Pre-signing waives liability, so let people evaluate the risk for their personal situation and decide for themselves. :rolleyes:
 
Slightly off-topic: why iPhones can ship via air? I thought anything containing lithium battery has to be on the ground...
