I got notifications and saw stock on 8th at 11pm est. you (I set up the notifications that afternoon), 9th at 6am and 11pm, 10th at 11pm a few, today at 6 am a lot but all silver. Nyc metro

Yes.. of course. But 11 PM is no different than 6 AM… As the stores are closed. There's no way to really get your hands on it at 11 PM at night… Unless the Apple app lets you reserve a phone at 11:01 PM? Is that what you're implying?
 
Not expecting mine to move from Shanghai until Sunday morning, but UPS tracking is now calling it “delayed.”

Did yours ever update to "Export Scan"? I never saw the delayed update but I am have been on Export scan for 8 or so hours now.

Edit: In fact my activity log seems to be different from yours now. Here is what I have.

Got mine delivered on November 3rd.
Unfortunately timing on the launch date and my flying out of country didn’t mesh well.

Came home yesterday to my phone.
It is all it’s been hyped up to be.

Face ID is almost flawless and even works with sunglasses and a winter hat.

I had a Dec 8-13 Apple.com order, I camped the istocknow website and a couple of the elusive T-Mobile 256GB Silvers popped up around 3PM EST as available. I purchased, drove 3 hours and picked them up. You don’t always have to get up at 6am to get lucky

Yes... this 8s buying online to pickup later in store instead of delivery , you schedule a 30 min pickup window... this is not for you to check and go to the store when it opens without it been purchased already,
 
Well, the Sunday morning flight from Shanghai is long gone, and tracking shows my phone being held at a warehouse. It’s possible that a scan was missed, though. I’ve had deliveries during these massive Apple product rollouts go from “Preparing for shipment” to “Out for delivery,” and other such weirdness. So we’ll see...

Weird. My last scan was a 'departure scan' from around 6:10am

I don't know about the rest of you in this same status, but I would love to see a little movement. Apparently, once it starts from here, it really doesn't stop for long until it reaches my hand... about two days once this status changes, if history dictates anything... Tuesday? Monday possibly... Some earlier shipments with this status took a quick trip to Hong Kong then quickly to Anchorage. Hong Kong previously left in a few hours from now... It'll be nice to get over this last big hump...

I got my order changed from 'Order processing' to finally shipped and UPS estimates delivery on 11/16th after having Apple move the delivery date from Nov 17th-24th to Nov 20th-27th. Apple still says delivery date of Nov. 20th but UPS says so otherwise. Fingers crossed!

Update: Uh oh, just saw this - I hope that doesn't affect what UPS' estimated delivery date too much - maybe that's why some of us are seeing that it hasn't moved?

same batch and haven't seen movement. Chatted with apple because why not... they don't know the reason for the delay. UPS chat is useless and is automated. I don't see why there's a delay. I can see weather but haven't heard of any natural disruptions that would cause such a large delay.
 
11/17-11/24 group. No charges. No changes to status or shipping date. Still oip.

AT&T 256 SG going to the NYC area.

Started order process the night preorders started. Couldn't complete the order process because of issues on AT&T's side. Apple reserved a phone and let me know when I could complete the order, which I did around noon or 1:00 the next day.
 
Anyone ever use UPS Follow my Delivery where you can see the real time location of the truck? Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see the option (and I'm a MyChoice member)
It has to be one of the following services to use "Follow My Delivery" I think and mine is just Worldwide Expedited so.....No go for me.

UPS Next Day Air®, UPS Worldwide Express®, and UPS Worldwide Express Plus
 
GOT IT!!!!!

review: i preordered the night of preorders. my status said "order in progress" for 2 weeks. i said screw that, i'm canceling and looking for one on my own.

with the help of many on this forum, as well as having a couple of nights of poor sleep, i was able to reserve my 10 for pickup today!! i was neutral on color but wound up reserving a silver att 256gb phone this morning. pickup in less than 5 hours.

thank you to everyone that helped out! AND SCREW YOU APPLE - I WAS ABLE TO GET MY PHONE BEFORE YOU GUYS EVEN SHIPPED MINE SO SUCK IT.

i cant wait to see this thing. finally, days of obsessing on this forum are over. this addict is only hours away from satisfying his addiction!!!! wait, that didnt sound right...

Congrats! Which store did you find it?
 
The backlog must be pretty significant as my phone is still in Korea as of this morning. Hasn't moved since the 8th. Sheesh!
