I preordered at 2:01 AM Central using the Apple Store app. I ordered the ATT Space Gray iPhone Max 512 GBS with 9/21 delivery. I used IUP. This was one of my fastest purchases since I was preapproved.
Got a tip for us?

Att website was acting weird with me that night. It wouldn't let me add a new line to buy the device. It kept saying something went wrong and was promting me to buy the phone outright even though I'm eligible for 10 lines

Thanks for the heads up- I have auto pay on with a checking account- that was the only payment method I had until 2 seconds ago when I just added my credit card just in case they charge it. I wouldn't be surprised if I see it on my bill either
Where is the thread from last year - that can give us indication of when orders went to preparing for shipment - no?
[doublepost=1537021885][/doublepost]Just did some research on this forum.
Last year the 8 Plus was available for Pre-Order on 9/15/17.
In the AT&T the first post with order updates being Preparing for Shipment were 9/17/17
So maybe we will see some movement tomorrow.

I ordered my 256 Max yesterday around 10am EST and was charged for the sales tax immediately and received a confirmation email and then about 5 hours later another email with status update saying it will arrive 9/21. Looks like the status update email was just notifying me of new number that was assigned since I’m adding a line.
Correct me if I am wrong- but even if ATT ships your iphone with UPS- we will not be given the UPS driver GPS tracker spiff you get like when ordering from Apple? Anyone get this last year when ordering through ATTs site?

I have both of those emails as well- just going to wait it out and see. If I have to reorder its not a big deal as it seems I may only have to wait an additional week with how many people aren't upgrading....
I was going to wait and go to a store Friday to see if I could pick up a XS Max but I decided to go ahead and order through ATT. I placed my order on 9/15/18 at 9:55 AM CST for a Apple Watch Series 4 Space Black Aluminum (I wanted Stainless but the shipping dates were in November) and a iPhone XS Max 256 GB Silver. Both are showing delivery by September 21st. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if it was delayed until the following week, but I have never had a estimated date move further out. I was feeling left out of the preorder hype this year. I feel better, yet more excited, and unfortunately slightly more impatient now.
There's a second email that shows how much you paid and gives you the option to check order status. Dont panic it's nothing
The email confirming the order with the pricing and phone models ect. The first email just says thank you for your order.

I am just nervous as ATT already had a error with my first order and they had to cancel it and re order. I don’t want it to happen again.
I placed two orders got one email for each that contained all this information.

Let me correct myself. I did receive both emails for both orders yesterday. 4 emails total.
[doublepost=1537026004][/doublepost]What is the significance of the first and second emails from AT&T that I keep seeing people referencing? Is it a big deal if you don't have the second email?
Wouldn’t I still be able to go through UPS/FedEx and possibly have them hold at location?
I'm pretty sure that you can only do this after the first failed delivery attempt with FedEx.
