Still waiting on my import scan. I’m part of the 8:34 batch as well.

Apple has updated to shipped though.
 
Import scan in Louisville finally but still not shipped according to Apple. Oh well.
 
Just looked at my invoice, mine is a september build. Week 39. So I saw one that was made in August. So It seems like Apple has been producing this since August. So I don't think there will be any issues with the 12 pro max and the mini. I would suspect that there will be plenty.
 
What color and GB are you guys ordering?
Earlier today, I also called AT&T to obtain a new SIM card. I told them to expedite the order and I need it by Friday. 2 hours later I’m getting an email that my new sim has been shipped! Very impressed by it. They also congratulated me because I’ve been with AT&T for over 10+ years.

Along with a new iPhone! I’m also getting a new Sim Card delivered. They assured me it is 5G compatible. (Not sure what that mean).
I went to an AT&T corporate store yesterday and they told me I would not need a new sim, because the sim-free comes activated on the eSim. I don't believe that though. I am planning on getting a new sim anyway. Did you have to pay for it? If I get the new sim now, do I need to activate it and put it in my XS Max or can I wait until I get my 12 Pro Max?
 
Probably a neurotic question... but I was hoping someone who also set theirs for pickup at a UPS CC can confirm this as I forget what it showed last year.

I set mine for UPS CC pick up and this is all I see, is this what you are seeing as well or does it show more info on the track history? I could have sworn last year it also said something like "customer request for hold received" on the track history, but this year all I see is the message shown below on the MyChoice page. Thanks in advance!

Mine is like that too. I think it’ll update with more info after the import scan.
 
Mine still says processing, with a November 6-13 delivery date. I don't think my dates will move up anytime soon :(

Yep half of this morning (from 4 a.m. to 5 at least) I haven’t even been able to access my orders (probably due to all the folks actually getting their phones tomorrow) but my delivery date window is 10/30-11/4. It’s express delivery yet it will take 7-10 days... by my calculation it had better move from processing to preparing to ship after this weekend. Aaaaand start moving by the 26th-27th.

My clear MagSafe case was sent “standard 1 day shipping” which is incredibly confusing. It did arrive a day early. Praying but not holding my breath same happens with my phone.

Note: I never knew people could get scans and whatnot before this year - this is exciting! Also, really stressful. I’m over here rooting for everyone’s release date shipping! 😂
 
Also received my import scan. Expecting it to take the overnight flight to Boston before coming in tomorrow afternoon some time.
 
Nope. I don’t see anything like that. It appears that all I’m seeing is a newer version of the mobile site regardless if I’m requesting the desktop site or not. I really wish websites wouldn’t do this.
I know what you’re talking about sometimes I get the old view, sometimes the new view. No idea why. Try it on your desktop computer if you have one.
 
Finally shipped from Anchorage Alaska, but it took five days on the ground in China airport to get to Alaska. Guess I didn’t grease the Chinese government well enough, but at least it will be here tomorrow.

another interesting fact, when I put my phone number with or without the one in front of it, or I put in the reference number without the last two digits or without the last digit or even the full order number, on the UPS site I get absolutely nothing.

100% of my reason lol. I have the 11PM, and I would have gone the 12PM, but didn’t want to wait three more weeks. I just justified it as, the regular size might actually be better, since how often do I watch movies on my phone anyway? And then I figured it’s $100 cheaper and probably will save $50 from one less IUP.

I believe I read that there is a 14 day return policy and since it will be an online return, you would have 14 additional days to actually return it. So if I decide I want the Max, I can always initiate a return on November 5th, order a 12PM, and return it when the 12PM comes in. Of course it’ll cause a mess with the IUP, but Apple is pretty damn good with customer service.
Yeah I'm considering the same thing. Do you know how long you have to return once the return is actually initiated? Also trying to figure out how/if I could swap the 12P with the 12PM on the upgrade program
 
Just curious, how did you figure that out?
The serial number? It's in your invoice apple.com, when you check your order status. I generally know how to decode the serial without relying on those website. the one I have is DNPDG. So D is the year 2020 (2nd quarter), G is the week number.
 
Got a scan on UPS site in KY at 8:08AM.
