Alright you guys. I just spent $5 for Deliveries app. Couldn't resist.
It really is a great app
Yeah it says UPS Customer Center, and I called and they said that this CC is where my packages are distributed from.

Thank you so much!
In a sense above is correct, but you were talking about UPS CC and yes you can have it held at UPS CC and that causes no delay. But having a hold at UPS Store can cause delay. UPS CC and UPS Store are not the same.
You can call them and ask when shipments are available. In my case, All shipments go to our customer center first so that's good. Our UPS Store gets a delivery about 2:30pm but UPS won't promise that orders for that day will be on the delivery, so they quote the day after if I picked that as the hold.
Weirdest thing. I got right on launch night, was pre-approved for upgrade. Entered cc information. Forgot to screen shot order time, but it was just a couple minutes after go time. Then I couldn’t confirm if my order went through. Ordered a leather case in the meantime. Then finally got an order email at 12:23, long after my order. Anyone else have about a 20 minute delay in email? I’ve had a launch day phone since iPhone 5. I have 28-5. Bummer! I’m not sure what happened? I’ve been on here for years, now I guess I’m the one hoping for a move in delivery date. Congrats to all those who got the 21. This is new territory for me. SGmax 512Gb
. SGmax 512GbWhat to do. I ordered sim free xs max 256 sg at 12:08 am. Glitch in app and had to reprocess and it changed to att instead. 9/21 delivery. Preparing to ship updated today. Wanted sim free so reordered last night with 9/28 - 10/5 delivery.
I can always have att unlock after I get it. I wonder if components different in locked vs unlocked this year or are they exact same phone? I know with x last year there was Intel vs Qualcomm difference.

I had a 20 min or so delay on getting my phone confirmation email having done the order a few minutes after 3 am eastern. In fact I did my watch order second and got he email confirmation right away. I figured it had to do with the IUP. In any event both are preparing to ship for the 21st.Weirdest thing. I got right on launch night, was pre-approved for upgrade. Entered cc information.

Maybe I wasn't clear. We are all on the same page. 1. you need to pick the correct hub for your city or you will cause a delay. 2. If you have it sent to a UPS STORE, not the main Hub or CC, there will most likely also be an additional delay. 3. I think that makes it a risk to do so, because if you do not know what you are doing, then a delay will occur, and in my city the main CC AKA Hub is not open on the weekends, so you will end up with a Monday iPhone.
I used the Apple store App. And logged in with Face ID and used Apple Pay to order my phone the minute it went live. I guess it was cause the first year I used Face ID to log in and confirm everything. But it seemed as if it just took seconds to order the phone. So fast that I was literally worried that something went wrong and I had not ordered it.
My confirmation email that I even ordered the device did not show up till like 15 minutes after I ordered. It was on odd experience. Cause using Face ID and Apple Pay made it seemless. Order placed within seconds. But I didn’t get a confirmation of my order till 15 mins after the store went live. So here I was thinking I screwed up my phone order for like 15 mins. lol
Sorry man, e-mail confirmation timing has nothing to do with anything;none. If you got 28-5 delivery window, there is no way you got your order in right after it opened.Weirdest thing.

Since there is nothing to do regarding the phone right now, I'm tracking UPS flight 80 from Anchorage to Shanghai. Clearly this one is on the way to pick up my iPhone...ha!
when do they think we will get tracking? tomorrow or monday? what has it been historically
iPhone XS Max 256 SG ATT is preparing to ship! I’m so excited. My plan is to pick up my S4 watch from the local Apple store then book pick up my phone from the local CC.
I seem to recall Sunday being the day for the first tracking numbers, but I don't know for sure.
You're just flat wrong. I had preapproval with IUP and had order placed no later than 3:05 ET and got 9/28 - 10/5.
They left China 2 days after preorder, last year. So Sunday/Monday, likely Tuesday we will see actual movement. 2 days before launch they were in Alaska. So Wednesday the phones will likely be in the be USA.

I’m trying to remember, I think as soon as it was processed for UPS, I think it showed up in the UPS my choice app, and I believe my Apple Store account still showed preparing for shipment, until it got to Kentucky
How many days/weeks until someone can go on apples website and order an Xs max where it will arrive in a week or so?
