Carrier Apple.com New 2018 iPhone Pre-Order Thread

[penajmz]

I want to change mine for pickup since there is a UPS store across the street from where I work. However when I went to the UPS site to change for Pickup it said estimated delivery Monday, September 24, 2018.

Should I go with changing to store pickup or should I leave it as is with home delivery?

If you’re ok with waiting until Monday

Right on! Tracking just showed up for my iPhone — both it and my watches are coming from Suzhou.

Woke upset to my dog needed to go outside for the third time tonight... but then i saw my phone had been added to my UPS tracking along with my already appearing watch. So, he’s a good boy then

My Xs 256GB just showed up in ups as"in transit"... With departure scan... Apple store order still shows "Preparing to ship".

Precisely I’m trying to remember how long they sat in Anchorage before leaving Kentucky. I think they moved within the same day. Then the phones sat in Kentucky to wait for the other iPhones to catch up..

IIRC (and you may remember as well) last year they sat in Anchorage but “missed” a scan so to speak-the customs scan was a bit late so they had moved on out of ANC before we got the tracking updates. I believe it was ANC-ORD-SDF-BOS. As for the Departure/Arrival Scan in CGO-that was covered in an Article about the logistics-they arrive to the customs zone and then are “imported” and “exported” at the same time by pallet.

Ok am I the only one here who's order is still under Preparing to Ship? It's September 17, 2018 and my delivery date is September 21, 2018. Now I'm starting to wonder if there will be any delays.

You’re not the only one - my gold XS and leather case are still Preparing to Ship. I placed my order as soon as the store reopened in the wee hours last Friday morning. I am sure delivery will still occur on time but seeing the order stuck at Preparing... does make one a bit antsy.

I’m still at Preparing to Ship as well. Delivery for 9/21

 

[redb]

We're all preparing to ship, no one has "shipped" in apple status.

512 sim free max, woke up to tracking number on UPS MyChoice. Arrival scan ZhengZhou, delivered by sep. 21. BUT no e-mail from Apple still in PFS. Oddly enough I received tracking info via Apple e-mail for my leather case which doesn't show up on UPS yet.

[ck713]

So my gold cellular 44mm watch is coming from Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong and my XS gold 256 is coming from Suzhou, China! Two UPS tracking numbers.

Woohoo! We are on the same plane. I have the exact same scan times.

I bought a watch and a phone. I have 2 tracking numbers, one with an item weighing 0.7kg and one with an item weighing 0.5kg. I’m assuming that the phone is the 0.7kg item.

My Max’s tracking says 0.5 kg.

My Watch says .6kg. So I don't know. LOL.

 

[CodeSpyder]

That’s the watch.

Okay. Weird, but apparently true.

The iPhone is 0.5 kg.

 

[ohernan]

My Watch just went in transit. 6:13pm Suzhou China.

 

[redb]

The iPhone is 0.5 kg.

It depends which phone, xs is 0.4 kg in my tracking details

 

[Texh49]

I was tracking by the original reference number and now I see I have a second tracking number with more movement. Am I getting two phones? Lol

I have the same. Despite both of our initial inclinations the 0.7 is the watch and the 0.5 is the phone. You'll see the tracking reference order number in the list less the last 2 digits. Also Foxconn is phone, Full-Tech is Quanta which handles the watch.

 

[democracyrules]

Yippee. Got tracking number in my UPS Choice for my 512 GB gold sim free.

 

[LorQ1027]

How do you find the tracking number? I tried the “track by reference” and nothing...
