I ordered 2 512gb Gold iPhone Xs Max & they both still say in progress ordered at 1:59am
I wish there was a way to find out how they move items from progress to preparing to ship - like how and why?
[doublepost=1537059390][/doublepost]Anyone order a phone and watch on the same order with preparing to ship as your status?

I got the iPhone XS Max in Gold 256GB. I’m kinda nervous because the website just shows in progress...
[doublepost=1537054792][/doublepost]

Btw it does say it will be delivered by Sept 21... So hopefully it’ll work. I’m worried because I had originally left AT&T and went to T-Mobile but I decided to come back through winback and everything went smooth. Well as soon as I came back to AT&T I made my preorder, so hopefully everything went through. I hope it doesn’t flag me for fraud.

Most everyone still shows Preparing, Its only been a day,Most sits wont update until Sunday or Monday. Carriers can even over night them to get to you on Friday.

Pulled the trigger on the cancel/re-order through AT&T app and still got a Sept 21st delivery date. Now waiting on the second email. Fingers crossed this doesn’t turn into a disaster.

Hey does it show y’all this under in progress? “We’re working on your order! Stay tuned—we’ll email or text you when it’s ready.?”

I don't think there is any real difference between in progress and preparing to ship to be honest.

There is, In progress means an order has been created and waiting to be pulled. Preparing to ship means the phone has already been pulled and box and is just waiting for a label to be printed and slapped on the box.

It's so weird how they randomly go to preparing to ship.

Multiple things, they could be coming from a different warehouse, Different lot etc. When you place an order it assigns it to a lot that a worker pulls from. Atleast thats how it was when I worked there a few years ago.
