This is how scans progressed last year. Phones should start flying out tomorrow(China time) and landing in Alaska just for refueling and then Louisville KY for customs and final sorting
I'll have to do the same. It's a brilliant idea because I never remember the way things went !

Do y’all trust UPS support with telling you the correct CC? I have two CC locations in my city and I’m terrified that UPS will just tell me to pick the closest one or the wrong one and delay my order.
Yes they should be correct haha. I don’t see why they’d give you a random one. It’s usually the one closest to your city.

Absolutely not. Those calls go to a call center in the Philippines and all they do is Notate an email and send it to oblivion that’s when you understand what they are saying
They told me which one mines was last year and my Iphone was at the correct one come morning.

My order is still saying "Order In Progress". I called Apple and they told me that they're not seeing an issue but the only way to know for sure would be to cancel and reorder.... uh?


Am I screwed?
Nope. :)

I'm in Phoenix and my phones have always gone ANC (Anchorage) > SDF (Louisville) every year...
Yeah, sometimes a few go to Cali (I think Ontario or something) to get distributed for the west coast/Cali. But almost all go to WorldPort @ SDF.

Yes but mine says exception as I’m opting for Pickup vs delivery
It says date tentative since UPS has to put an exception into the system to "plan" that date for the delivery. If normal shipping times prevailed (i.e. this wasn't a massive launch that Apple and UPS coordinated) we would get the phones earlier in the week. It's a side-effect of UPS manipulating the system based off the product launch. It's normal :)

Like a lot of y'all, my tracking info finally showed up overnight on UPS my Choice. Going to be a long week waiting and tracking!

I trust them. They’ll know which CC your package will go to.

Just curious, is there a trend on the models that are showing up in MyChoice/Reference tracking? Seems like, just like last year, we T-Mobile model orders are lagging behind.

Not sure if anyone else has had the same experience, but I went to my local CC around 830am one day to pick up a phone (not on launch day, it was like Oct 5). But the employee said I had to wait, they weren’t ready for pick ups yet. So I sat in the parking lot for like 15/20 mins.. hoping that’s not the case this year.

Smooth sailing on launch night with the IUP and application, but...

They hid the fact that my preapproval was early, which cost me an additional $49. Oh and Att banged me for a $30 upgrade charge. Almost $80 in BS hidden charges. I don’t notice those at 3AM.

I may take the stupid thing back. Had I known about the early upgrade fee I would have waited...nothing wrong with my current X.

Did you get a 9/21 delivery date for your T-Mobile order? If so, are you IUP?

Question guys. So it seems like we all got 21 or 28th delivery date. Which is not bad compared to previous years. If you remember last year people got 3 to 4 weeks delivery date and even more. Do you think apple fixed their production speed or the phones are not selling this year?

Something similar happened to me. Except UPS was running late and the phones didn’t get to the hub until that morning. Then I had to wait for the specific UPS truck that delivered my iPhone from the hub to the CC.

I am going to guess that this is pretty much the same production as the X that the XS is not much different in how its built. Last year one of the production issues they had was the Face ID components. I think that the Xr is being delayed because its a bit different specially in materials and components that they can't build them as fast. That's my take not sure if right but makes sense to me. :)

Well I got up at 7 AM this morning (Illinois CDT) and of course nothing on apple still preparing to ship LOL. So I go to my UPS account ready to go through the track by reference ritual ;-). And I clicked on my UPS choice (nothing showing on the main tracking page that shows when you click on track) and viola my phone is in system today. And as I was looking at the actual detailed tracking data from the tracking link I first saw it had departed Shenzhen already. And by time I got to making screen dump it updated to having arrived at Hong Kong main airport two hours after leaving Shenzhen. Real movement finally, and like most of you Apple still says shipping is in preparation LOL pretty normal experience. (256 GB space gray Xs)

Nice :)
Mine hasn't updated since yesterdays common 2:10 Arrival Scan in ZhengZhou. Also I see some show the origin as the Foxconn factory. Mine just says "CGO, CN"
