Well I just switch my order from Apple to Best Buy. Apple only gave me $600 for my 13 Pro while BB gave me $700. Who wouldn't want to save an additional $100? Well $137.46 to be exact.
I just checked Best Buy, they offered me the same $600

@StaceyMJ86 @beach bum Did ya'll get your orders in???

I got my order in 8:12am. I had my laptop, iPad, 12 Pro Max and XS Max all open on the Apple App Store and website. The app came up first and I got a delivery date of 9/16. I also preordered my Ultra with Verizon for the $150 off and will return the Apple order once itā€™s delivered since itā€™s too late to cancel.

So question for everyone:

Iā€™m a little nervous on this.

I legally change my last name in May of 2021. I had updated everything and noticed that on my preorder for ISPU this morning that it is billing to my old last name. (Same card, same address, etc.) I thought ā€œno big deal, it worked last year just fineā€ which was after my name change in May of 2021. However, when I pulled that order, the iPhone 13 preorder had my new, correct last name on the ā€œBills To:ā€ portion.

Iā€™m not worried about the ISPU contact being my old last name because I still have my ID that matches. However, I am concerned when they try to bill my Apple Card for the preorder that it will fail. Again, same first name, address and card number but the last name is different now. (But was the original last name on the Apple Card, fwiw)

Anyway, I tried chatting with Apple but thatā€™s shut down due to traffic so I tried to call but Iā€™m at work and itā€™s a 40 min hold.

Thoughts? Am I in trouble or will my preorder go thru since everything else is the same?

Major orders like iPhone... UPS will be the main freight carrier. FedEx is too expensive. the only time Apple did not use UPS was in 2020.
I have a vague memory of their having used fedex in the past for a iPhone launch. I think my iPhone X was delivered by FedEx. But nowadays it seems to be ups. Will be interesting to see if usps is really being used this time for some deliveries,

I ordered two:
At 9:34 CDT iPhone 14 Pro Max 256GB Deep Purple - estimated delivery 10/1ā€”10/17 from Apple Store
At 9:55 CDT iPhone 14 128GB Midnight Black - estimated delivery 9/16 from ATT.

Never ordered from a carrier for launch day delivery so this will be interesting.

Itā€™s way too early to panic about shipping carrier. My bet is on UPS, with some orders going via FedEx. Again this for for Apple.com orders.

Carrier orders (ie att.com) are different. Iirc they ship with FedEx.
I ordered mine on apple.com, and it's being delivered via the Postal Service with a delivery date of 9/23.
