Well, are you all ordering the exact same color, storage, and carrier phone? Remember there are two different color options, with two different storage options and the 4 different carrier options (don’t you dare argue just 2 because of the GSM option vs CDMA/GSM as the carrier phones have to have a carrier SIM card inserted so Verizon and Sprint are not pulling from same stock). That could be your answer

Same exact phones! 256GB, Space Gray, AT&T. All 3 of us.

Then I stand corrected. Maybe they came from a different factory and your shipment didn’t have the paperwork in order or something logistical like that

For the love of!!!!! STILL stuck in China with the UPS message of “order date unknown. We are working on sending your item to it’s UPS destination.” I have no idea what is going on. This sucks.

Hi. Yes, mine was a Dec 1-8 date, just received email that it shipped with expected delivery date of 11/24.

Good to hear, there is hope! lol. In the beginning I told myself it didn’t matter, I’ll get it eventually... but with each passing day I get more and more antsy!

 

[DaFierce]

My Apple order is scheduled to be delivered on Dec 6th to the 13th. I read on Reddit that packages are possibly being sped up. Is that plausible for mine to happen? The post was about some fellow who had theirs bumped up from Dec 1st to a recent time it was delivered not too long ago.

Here is the Reddit post from the Apple Sub-Reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/7co11k/impressed_with_iphone_x_shipping_time/

I pre ordered 10/27 and had a time of Dec 5-11
Saturday it changed to Dec 1-5
cc charged last night, shipped almost an hour ago
Ill get it 11/24

And to think, after all this agida.. within 48-72 hours after owning it - we'll be bored.. wondering what next year will bring... LOOL.. Oh.. well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯... whatcha gonna do..

Hey.. I guess you were right... the batches just updated to the app slowly.. Just refreshed now.. and the Departure Scan from Anchorage was 3:48PM.. just a bit after yours.. Guess it IS on flight 81 to Louisville.. Cool. Apple app still says Nov '20' for delivery.. But UPS My Choice app says Nov 17, Friday. Yet.... My Choice app says up top.. delivery date estimate unconfirmed.. I've NEVER seen this with a carrier of a package from Amazon or ANYthing EVER like this. Apple.. is pulling strings with these carriers.. you can count on that.. Somehow Apple wants certain batches to end up in certain places at certain times.. There just seems to be no rhyme or reason to it.. So damn weird..

Apple has a massive contract with UPS as their logistics partner, and they are in control of when they want them to show up. This is highly orchestrated by the Apple logistics wizards in Cupertino. Last year during the Iphone 7 preorder, they made a special UPS Saturday delivery to get phones in which is not something UPS would normally do without extra fees.

Same here, same message... I had a UPS delivery date of 11/16, then 11/17, then 11/20, now there is no date. Unreal.

 

[elkaboing]

Mine is still in China... since 11/10! I am not sure why it's taking 4+ days for my package to make its way onto a plane to Korea?!

I think mine is in the same batch as yours....
What is taking so long in China?!?!?View attachment 735693

Same here. Ordered around 2:15am central, Verizon 256 Silver. Quoted a delivery date of 11/17-24. Still sitting in China.

What was your last scan in Shanghai?

 

[jamesyang5511]

I think mine is now in Anchorage based on the time stamp (left Korea on 11/15 and is now back in 11/14) but UPS doesn't show a location. What is the typical time frame from touchdown in ANC to customer delivery?

View attachment 735710

I have the same arrive time to Korea as yours, but mine haven't show any new updates.

Perhaps the wait is most of the excitement

I was bummed tonight. Saw my first iPhone X in the wild. I was hoping I wouldn't see it until I unboxed my own. I did avert my eyes pretty quickly ;-)

That would be devastating... I shall pretend they don’t exist until there’s one in my hands haha

Heck, my phone is fully paid off... It's still in Korea... Hows them Apples?

A guy at my work, got two phones on 11/3, delivered to the warehouse.

I posted earlier on page 437 of this thread. It's already time for an update!

I ordered a 64GB Space Grey iPhone X mid-morning eastern time 11/27/17.

CC billed yesterday evening and order status went from processing to preparing for shipment. Today I got a UPS tracking # but UPS hasn't scanned the package yet. Apple web site shows my new serial # now. Delivery date now shows 11/24, yesterday it was still showing 12/1-12/8.

 

[WizardHunt]

Mine has a official Ups delivery of Nov 16, Thursday but I was hoping since it arrived nearly 18 hours ago that it would have the import stamp and all cleared ready for a flight at 3 am out to Vegas. But no movement is found so far after arriving in Kentucky. So that tells me that it’s coming on the regular scheduled date and not early.
I could be wrong and I hope that I am wrong.

 

[rubenhas]

What was your last scan in Shanghai?

Ezport scan on the 12th.
No departure scan yet. Delivery date was scheduled for the 16th but it changed this morning to «information unavailable».

Wow, that’s really difficult to explain or justify. The arrival, export, and departure scans for my shipment all happened on sequential days.

Of course, mine hasn’t actually left Shanghai yet, so who knows what’ll end up happening.

 

[ckrajcik]

cancelled my pre order after I found out my store got some x’s in stock. They only had the silver in 256 by the time I got to checkout but color wasn’t an issue as I was putting a case on it anyways. Also picked up some AirPods. Love them and understand the hype now lol. The phone is amazing coming from a 7 plus. I thought i would hate going to a smaller form factor but I actually enjoy having the large screen on the smaller phone without all that extra bulk on the top and bottom. Good luck to all of you tracking your phones. I remember tracking planes like a mad man for the Apple Watch release in 2015. Stressful times but worth it lol. Enjoy your new phones when you get them! (Hopefully soon)

My 2nd ATT Silver 256 was scheduled for 12/1-12/8 but has shipped and is scheduled to arrive for Monday, Nov 20th.

Glad to hear my order was bumped up not only from 12/1, but my original quoted ETA was the second week of December. Good job, Apple!

 

[justinkim]

Arrival scan in Anchorage. Looks like my phone made it out on the flight earlier today, after all.

Stuck in Shanghai since last Friday. Had a delivery date of 11/17 now it’s unavailable. :/
