Do you have experience with it? Does it normally get packed?

Ive been doing it since 2014, and it’s never been packed. Ive only seen maybe 19 people waiting when the doors opened. I’m in and out fairly quickly. I waited about 30 minutes for the X, but that’s only because the rep had to look for a little while because the phones weren’t in their usual place.

The Haslet CC opens from 8:30 am to noon, the reopens from 4:30 pm to 8pm

I ordered an iPhone 12 Pro PB 256, got the order in at 8:11 ET after app problems, and had a delivery estimate of Nov 3-6. Just checked order, and it just moved to “Preparing to Ship.” Wasn’t expecting that yet...
 
Call me crazy or obsessed. I was able to track down the UPS plane and at this moment it is taxing at a terminal. I can’t believe it’s almost here. 2 more weeks this madness will start all over again.

Congratulations to all those people who’s plane is arriving today!

Believe it or not this is the best time of the year. 🙏

They also just sent me an email that said I will have 28 days to send my XS Max in, which is perfect timing with the 12 Pro Max preorders on 11/6.
For anyone waiting for the 12 Pro Max to sell off an old phone....lock a trade in now early. I did Decluttr as well after shopping around. I locked $660 for 30 days for my 11 Pro 64GB about a week before pre-order opened. The quotes I'm finding out there now are in the $400s.

Bummer.... I first thought about selling my iPhone 11 Pro on eBay but I then remembered how expensive eBay and Paypal fees have become. That's when I decided to sell on FB Marketplace. It's free and they're usually pretty fast transactions. I sold mine in less than 24 hours after posting the listing. $750 was a lot better than Apple's measly $450 offer which was almost insulting to me.......

I honestly just may go ahead and take the declutter offer since they’re also giving me 28 days to send my device in.

Can you spot your package being unloaded? ;)

Thanks for the heads up! I’ll be going to the McKinney CC!

Same here!! I wonder how soon we will get it!

Dang it. my Blue Pro order was placed literally 5 minutes after the preorders started and mine just says “in progress” with an estimated delivery of 10/26-11/2! This makes no sense!
My Silver Pro order was placed at around 1:40pm PT and I have a delivery of Oct 28-30 and finally preparing for shipping.

Reading this gives me hope that if the app and website causes issues the first few minutes and dates start slipping a week out, that I may get it earlier than the first date given.

How long between when you were charged and when you were able to figure out you're on for delivery? I am on a 10/30 delivery but was charged about 6-7 hours ago
I was charged 6 hours after ordering back on launch day, with a Oct 26th-30th delivery estimate, and was preparing for shipment until yesterday afternoon, when it changed to shipped.

I am sorry I hope they get you taken care of. I would call Apple though and explain at this point that the phone was sent to the wrong location, and call or chat to UPS as well to try and let them know directly that it needs to go back to Apple likely, idk if UPS would be able to redirect it to you or not.
I hope they won’t let the wrong person have it. Supposedly you have to tell UPS the name on the package. Good luck. Let us know what happens.
