Same here. I ordered on Nov 30 - about late afternoon. a 256GB Silver iPhone X (no carrier setup). It showed "Delivers Dec 8-15, by Next Day Shipping". With a matter of hours, it changed to "Delivers 8 Dec, by Next Day Shipping". Yesterday evening (Dec 1) there a minor hiccup with my bank debit card - but I sorted it out within minutes of receiving the email. The order then changed to "Preparing to ship", and just now (Dec 2, late evening) I received a confirmation that it has shipped and will be delivered by Dec 5.
I am amazed! No Mac or iPad I have ever ordered has shipped this fast. I needed the delivery to be precisely on Dec 8th - so, was looking at forums and saw that many who ordered much earlier in November are still waiting to receive their phones. I don't know what's going on, but I can confirm that new orders are getting shipped out and fast! (I have been tracking anticipated shipping estimates for a while - and it dropped, went up, and about a week or so back dropped to 1-2 weeks...that's when I decided to order).
Yea and mine now says Delivers by Dec. 5th. So likely Tuesday. I'm pretty sure mines coming from the warehouse now since it looks they have plenty in stock now.
Plenty of supply now. Apple Stores and Carrier stores all with supply now. No more long waits. Pre-orders all delivered IN Apple’s promised time windows. We should go a little easier on Apple in the future. Their most popular phones will ALWAYS create back orders. And they delivered within their promised timeframes. Have heard no stories otherwise.
It’s been fun. Signing off for another year. See you all next year for the mayhem! Happy Holidays, all!
Well all done. New device delivered this afternoon. Time to set it up as a new device - not bringing over all the old apps and possible glitches. Everyone enjoy the new phone. Thanks for the ride.

Last time UPS deliver a package at 10:15pm but end of day is like 9pm
dunno the window but UPS truck usually come before 3pm on Saturday
Fingers crossed for you. They may just be swamped with cyber monday packages and getting those out.
Mine is still waiting to leave Windsor Locks, still no delivery day listed. And my other package that was going to show up today, never left MA for my local point in CT.
Hoping for Monday, at this point. Definitely disappointed I didn't get it this weekend.

Make sure all you guys and gals with your new iPhone X’s upgrade immediately to 11.2 to avoid a frustrating auto-respringing bug that will hit your phones at 12:15am tonight..

Updating to 11.2 fixes it.

Did your delivery date update to Monday at all? If not I’d give them a call or a chat tomorrow morning.
No, both dates are now information unavailable. At the end of the tracking line that said it was delayed due to a late plane, it did say delivery was rescheduled for next business day. But the date still has not updated. And that line was before the arrival at Windsor Locks.
Hopefully by morning it will have left Windsor Locks. If it doesn’t I will call inquiring about it.
Hmmm. Apple.com has it delivered by Tuesday but UPS updated it say delivered by Monday. So looks like I may get mine tomorrow. Mines coming from the warehouse based in California as the starting point.
If the warehouse in U.S has stock, it will ship from one of the warehouse based in California or Tennessee or Pennsylvania.

What happened, they delivered your phone and you forgot to update us?
As NewdestinyX mentioned I use the Zagg HD. I got both the front and rear, as well as a polycarbonate clear case. I ended up having zagg re-install it (it's free since its warrantied). The new installation looks 100% perfect, additionally the phone looks great and is very well protected at this point.
I ordered mine Friday the 24th of November and received it exactly 1 week later on Friday 12/1!
Wrong place for the post but definitely appreciate you putting this out. I was unhindered by this bug as it only occurred if you had particular apps. I really wish someone would EXPLAIN the bug instead of telling us what it does I find it very intriguing lol.
Finally, it’s made it to my local ups and is processing for delivery with a delivery date of today!!!!!
