This is for the iPhone XS Max 256 GB Silver

 

[JUCJ85]

Has anyone's 512gb XS Max gone into preparing to ship yet?

Not mine.

I laugh at myself every year.... when I pre-order the phone, I know it's only a week away from me getting the phone, but it always seems like it is the longest week ever. I just looked at the calendar and was like UGH ITS ONLY BEEN 3 DAYS?! IT FEELS LIKE AN ETERNITY SINCE I PLACED MY PRE-ORDER LOL.

I know right? And of they do get pushed back a week (I pray it doesnt) it's only 7 days but feels like a lifetime lol

 

[JUCJ85]

Not mine.

Thanks wasn't sure if it was just me.

Looks like the only 512gb Max with a Sept 21 date now is Silver, while Gold and SG have Sept 24-Oct 1, while all 3 colors in 256GB are in the same date range now.

It's so incredibly true! Why does the summer fly by so fast? (98 days from this past Memorial Day to Labor Day...felt like a week to me.) Why does the week between Xmas to New Years feel like 2 days?

AND WHY does the time we pre-order our phones to delivery feel like 4 months!!? LOL!! It's a sick twisted joke.
In SOME small way it's like when we were 4, 5 year old kids...again the time leading up to Christmas felt incredibly, painfully long. Only way to describe it.

If it's showing "Prepared for Shipment" TRY using "Track by reference" ( https://www.ups.com/track?loc=en_DO&requester=WT/ ) Use your billing phone number, narrow down the date from Sept 16 to Sept 17.
Enter destination country.

You should be able to get a status and a tracking number.

As of right now, it's still in China. But at least I know its moving.

I wouldn't go that far, Depending on where you are located if you are close to the shipping center they wont have to ship the device until the day before as it would just have to be handed off to UPS/Fedex for delivery.

Ya I mean I've had pre orders not show Preparing to ship until the day before launch and the phone arrived on time.
[doublepost=1537161412][/doublepost]

This is false. I get every Samsung device every year. I pre ordered the note 9 and the s9 plus this year and when they give you the shipping info it says it's on a delivery hold comments from the shipper.
[doublepost=1537134195][/doublepost]
I've also gotten iPhones a day early while I was with Verizon

You get EVERY Samsung device EVERY year? That's a lot of devices!

Which iPhones have you received prior to launch day? It's most definitely true that Apple puts a delivery hold on their pre order items. If one or two get through that doesn't mean they don't. As far as I know the only time this has happened for a fair amount of people was when the iPhone 4 came out and that year was special for many reasons.

1 thing i know that employee work for ATT never receive an iphone on launch day and they also get in line waiting like everybody else do >> how i know <<

remembering iphone 6 first time bigger than big screen release there are 2 dude work at att store i know of they stay in line , and that is funny that customer come to att store ask them buying iphone they said arrive ontime pick up at store but opposite that they look for an iphone like us @@@@

I got my iPhone 7 plus and iPhone 5s 2 days before. And yes I'm a phone fanatic

Does that work, even though the iPhone may come via FedEx, as it has the past 2 times I ordered through att.com?

 

[ayeeandre]

So I used the UPS tracking using the check by reference method and typed in my phone number and narrowed the dates from 9/15 to 9/17 and this popped up. I hope it’s true.

Delivery date: 9/19/18 Wednesday

iPhone XS Max 256GB Gold

no dashes.

Thank you — glad it worked for you. Nothing for me as usual. I can never catch a break every year with any of this extra information. It NEVER works for me. Did you status already switch from “In Progress” to “Preparing to Ship”? If so maybe that’s why. I’m in “In Progress” limbo still.

Same here, nothing, and In Progress as well still.

I called about mine and they said it was stuck in first stage so they wanted to cancel and re-do it with a later delivery date. I said hell no and ordered as an upgrade through best buy website. Same price and the BB site can access your carrier plan to do upgrade. Att service order status number is (866) 267-4510

[AppleDior31]

Just tried *6737# and mine says “We're sorry. Requested information is currently unavailable. Please try again later.” Did this for the other line I have ordered too and got the same message.

Mine says currently backordered although when I log into the AT&T app it says preparing to ship. Conflicting info.

Mine says the same thing.

Glad I'm not alone

 

[jamezr]

My order just says preparing to ship on AT&T website and can't track by reference number yet on UPS so no label created.
