Mine stayed at “order in progress” for 2 weeks until I cancelled my order, 2 days later I walked into an Apple store then walked out with my iPhone X.

Those stages felt like torture. Now I know what waterboarding feels like - absolutely relatable to waiting for your new iPhone to ship.

Oh nice. Wish I had a store close to me or I would probably do the same thing - although it looks like hopefully the process has gotten a little quicker. Ordered last week and it’s preparing to ship. Hopefully it ships soon.

That’s a fast turn around for you and I hope you get it nice and early in the morning :) in my case, I took a huge chance by canceling my order. It just killed me seeing “order in progress” 2 weeks in a row as I am/was obsessive and checked status maybe 20 times a day. That fatigued the hell out of me haha. So I risked it - cancelled and said if I get one early, great, if not, I’ll get it in December.

Back to you - what phone are you coming from again? I’m sure I asked you before. But this thing is seriously incredible. I went to a winter festival today with my wife and kid and the pictures 100% justify the cost for this insane piece of tech.

Well mine just changed to preparing to ship - ordered 11/12. So not too bad a turn around. Did the iUP option and was out of town so I was in no rush. It’ll be good to get the phone - coming from a iPhone 6 Plus.
 
There was a Black Friday deal on iPhone X? That was limited to iPhone 7 and below.
[doublepost=1511672138][/doublepost]Anyway I reserved an iPhone X for store pickup. Didn’t get a chance to go today but apparently Apple gives you 21 days to pick it up so it’ll be easier knowing they have it reserved for me than to keep checking back every day to see my shipping estimate.

Not on the X directly, but the Barclay card had 5x points on apple purchases. Plus 0% for 18 months.


Just looked... My original still has not updated in 4 days.
 
Delivery by Friday hopefully!!!

Oh wow, didn’t see that advertised. I recently received a Barclaycard but it’s not the Apple variant.
 
Mine shipped. Delivery isn't until Dec 5. Though.
[doublepost=1511785960][/doublepost]Oh, but UPS is saying Dec 1. Weird. Hope UPS is right :)

Hey, I have a question, I’ve never order a iPhone online, but I ordered a X back on 11/4. It finally shipped on 11/22 with a delivery date of 11/29. As you can see it sat around on the 23rd with no movement.

But still said the 29th, until yesterday it changed to the 30th and this morning it changed to the 12/01. Any idea of what’s going on?

I’m worried about it. If it keeps moving I’m leaving town for a week on the 6th and no one will be at home.

Apple site actually says the 30th.

Is this normal in 2 days I will have sat there for a week.

Well it seems like everyone has had different outcomes. Mine for example, my cc was charged on 11/16 and shipped on this day as well from Zhengzhou. From 11/16 to 11/23 my phone stayed in Zhengzhou before finally arriving in Incheon on 11/23, Korea time. From reading other post, others have had better luck with getting their phone from Zhengzhou to Incheon, then to Anchorage, AK and Louisville, KY, some in as few as 6 days. Louisville is the destination city where most of all the phones are going to. Since you have Verizon, your phone may not take that long as mine, I have an att 256 space gray, which, in earlier posts have stated that this particular phone has been taking the longest to ship because of high demand.

My phone went to Incheon? So how many days now???? I have Verizon

Hopefully we all get our phones on 12/1.
I'm in the same boat, and I think that's how they are shipping these now...lol
Ordered on Nov. 7th...Shipped on the 23rd...and it's sat in China ever since. Apple and UPS initially quoted a delivery date of 11-29...Then Apple updated and said 11-30 but UPS was still saying by the 29th...Now, today, UPS is saying delivery by 12-1...I hope the boat it's on, doesn't have to stop along the way...lol

And the best part...there are at least 5 stores within the Sacramento and bay area region that have the same model available...today...

Ya, sounds like the same problem. Hey maybe all the phones are in one crate for the people who have the 1st as a date of delivery. I just wish mine would leave China or really have any movement. It’s been a stand still. Like watching paint dry for days :(

To add insult to injury...my trade-in kit (I'm in the IUP program) will arrive today for my iPhone7...lol
