Please review my previous post. Go through 200+ pages and scan them through. Trust me you will find people reporting they got their watch a day or so early. Happy scanning 🤓https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-watch-series-6-shipping-order-status-thread.2254358/

It fails basic logic. There are too many packages so the solution is to deliver them faster? No. If anything packages would just be delayed. You're talking about companies that deliver packages all day every day. It's not your uncle trying to run some kind of courier side hustle when he's not working at the laundromat. The phones will arrive on Friday like planned and like every other year.

Part of my job is dealing with UPS & FedEx (on a very small scale) we have had many packages that arrive at the local regional center and sit for days because they have too many packages to deliver. They no longer guarantee express delivery times.

It’s not totally out of the question they would alleviate volume by delivering the phones when they arrive to the centers.

Hey look someone understands the logic of deliver them don’t hold them for all at once.

Dumb question but is anyone that got the 11:57 scan NOT getting a Pro phone? Just curious if there is any corrolation. Maybe the pros were grouped together (or made in diff factory?) just throwing that out there.

I believe the exceptions are false. It only ever shows that on the app never online. Usually if there was a true exception it would give the reason on the tracking info. Like a delay or mechanical failure.

It seems we need some love and positivity in this thread right now. We r ALL here to enjoy the comrade, bond and company of one another during the launch of our phones. If that’s not what you’re about, simply leave the thread and enjoy yourself...surly there isn’t any skin off our backs. NOW, who wants to drink...???❤❤❤???

Oh side note. I got my spigen clear case on Friday from Amazon. My wife went looking for a case and almost everything for 12/pro is no longer guaranteed before Friday so everyone is probably jumping buying all those cases. Ironically enough the pro max cases were still in stock lol

I think people are frustrated and tired of waiting 😂 but you are 100% correct.

This is the reason for my exception.

Everyone is basing this year off other years. This year we are seeing holiday shipping volume and it’s not the holidays. Im sure storing hundreds of thousands of phones to deliver them all in one day is out of reasonable right now.

While it is certainly possible due to unique circumstances this year, we are still talking about Apple, a two trillion dollar company, who likely cares very much about not having early deliveries.
