Is Marques REALLY that tall?! Or is everybody else just short? Holy cow the difference!
 
Apple support is basically useless. After long hold during phone call reached support specialist(in Canada!)

She was unable to even pull up my order # or pull info from it.

Not surprising how ineffective they are.
This all reminds me of dealing with Dell or HP Customer Service. What has happened to Apple Support?

I have had mixed results especially in past few years X through 13 where it takes too long refreshing app to get in 5-10 minutes and I am already couple weeks or more late. This is first year I got in right on time at opening and had my mail confirming order by 1 minute past opeing so for first time in 4 years got opening day. I do wonder why I go through this stress but love the interest free monthly payments and option to upgrade each year LOL
Didnt your actual delivery date move up the last 4 times?

If anyone is waiting to get in touch with the agent. Please ask, how is the iPhone being delivered this year. Which carrier? Apple department should have this info. Please get this verified.
I posted this earlier but I know the thread moves fast. My chat agent confirmed that USPS is supposedly intentional...my previous post:

Two orders, 14P (256/Black/Vzn) for me and 14PM (256/Purple/Vzn) for my wife. Both said Sept 16 at checkout and both now have the dreaded Sept 23 "Postal Service." Postal Service is a disaster here (had a lost package last week) so I finally got through on chat. The agent first gave the "system is too busy to check" that others got but then I was surprised to see: "I understand your point of view here however the volume of pre-orders right now is really loading up the carriers that's why you suddenly have USPS right now." Surprised me to see this chat agent basically saying that it's possible it will ship USPS.

So am I the only one who doesn’t have a confirmation email. Mine went to an email address i have not used for 4.5 years and Apple can't even figure out where it is coming from. Other orders are notifying me of shipping updates to my correct email.

Thank you for re-posting this. Dang! This is wild. There goes our tracking :( Also, some people confirmed its UPS and some are saying USPS. It seems like Apple themselves doesn't even know.

Tim Apple must have gotten a bulk mail deal!

Nope, “we are not allowed to provide that information” …
We need an "eye roll" reaction

Not necessarily-they will still need to move from China to CONUS-and that is NOT USPS!

Yes but never to opening day. It was usually 2 to 4 weeks past right in October during my busy time for going to fossil and mineral shows with my business partner. One time my wife had to be here to receive phone while I was at show. It came on a Saturday so had to wait until Monday to set it up such first world problems LOL
