Yes I have the same message. I believe everyone that ordered via AT&T will get that.
Got a tip for us?

And just like that everyone that ordered through Apple is now freaking out because UPS is saying many of their phones may not be delivered till Monday. I have a feeling, just like many people worrying here, that it’s just a glitch in computer systems, but it just shows no matter who you pick to buy from during preorder you’re always taking a gamble.
Yep. I’ve always ordered from ATT and I’ve always had good luck even if their updates are lacking. I won’t take a chance switching to Apple because of that luck and I know as soon as I do something will happen on the Apple side to mess things up. Pick your poison I guess.
I actually did get the 512 in silver. Original I had ordered the 64. Then realized I probably want to keep it for a long time so I went back on Monday and the only model still able to ship release day was the 512. Just have to fill it up I guess!
Does anyone know if the xsm comes with ios 12 out of the box? Probably a dumb question, but I am new to ios.
Yay!
I got mine at 4:09 this year[doublepost=1537497131][/doublepost]
Yea it should
So happy to hear! I remember you were having some issues earlier with your confirmation saying “shipped by 9/21” vs “delivery by”? Does it still say “shipped”?Still showing Irving tx. I know it’s coming and will be here tomorrow but I want to see movement!!!!!!!!
I’m so impatient
Att direct has not given me any problems for years now. Although i have a feeling its apple who decided to cram 5x more country availabilities on the 21st that is giving UPS its run. Then again they know about this weeks event that happens once a year....for the past 10 years, missed deliveries aside from natural occurances is no excuse.
Ordered only one time from Apple and the phone arrived as promised. The time I had ordered with apple I believe was back when the iphone 5 was being released. I remember it being "glitchy" for AT&T that year; however, after that I started ordering from AT&T & for some reason and never had an issue with them. Always received my pre-orders on time. AT&T may not update in real time or even frequently to keep their customers informed, but they do follow through. Im sure there are some horror stories, but what company doesn't have them? No company is perfect.
All my preorders have been with AT&T except once through Apple. AT&T’s site has always worked better and opened up faster than the Apple site and app. I’ve never had issues with AT&T getting my order on launch day. Knock on wood...
Same exact situation I went through with AT&T………just received email saying my watch was delayed til 10/20
Finally got an update on my order. Long story short, both orders were cancelled by the fraud department with no reason. My second resubmitted order still says "In progress" on AT&T, but in the notes of the order it said it was cancelled. Called the fraud department to clear up an issues. Literally took 2 seconds. Asked what caused the alert. Was told that unfortunately it was a "glitch" most likely due to a system issues will everyone ordering. I talked to a rep and asked since that this was an issue on their end and both orders were cancelled without me knowing, could they reserve one for me at a store. I was told that "wasn't a problem" and the rep took the info of my local store and add it to a note in my order. I went to my local AT&T store and was pretty much told in no uncertain terms that the rep had no idea what they were doing and they don't reserve phones like that. Called the customer care line back trying to cancel the order and was planning on ordering through Apple or Best Buy. Was told my order was now tied to a store and had to go in and either purchase a phone, preorder/order a phone, or cancel it there. Also, to possible prevent another fraud alert, bring two forms of ID. I am going to go first thing tomorrow morning and hopefully some will available for purchase. If not, I might just resubmit the order. Hopefully your solution is much simpler.
So just to clarify we don’t have to sign for our fed ex delivery? Do we? Or should we print out the sheet of paper that says it’s okay for them to leave it in front of our doors?
I called FedEx today and was told it was up to the driver if a signature was required or not. The person on the phone told me this was because they know their routes and if its safe or not to leave a package without signature. I was also told the signature release form only works if you have a house-it wouldn't be honored at an apartment building. I ended up talking to our area FedEx facility in person and arranged to have my phone delivered to the place in our town where FedEx packages can be held as I couldn't be home to sign for it. I can pick it up there later tomorrow.
Thank you so much, the information you shared was very insightful. I do live in a house so i might just use the form I have to drop my sibling at the airport and we’ll be gone for about an hour and half thank you!
Those poor UPS call center folks... This weekend is going to be a very bad one.

This may have been a policy change... a very good change. (and probably due to the Apple release day thefts over the years)
Mine is in Burbank Ca! I work tomorrow but my FedEx guy usually comes in the afternoon. Just hope he doesn’t wait too long. Or hoping he comes earlier and someone is home.
My two never left Indianapolis lol. Hopefully they just missed a scan and aren't just laying around.
Mines there too! Up in Lancaster. Hoping it comes early. FedEx is unfamiliar and can come in between 12 and 6. Thankfully it isn’t ups. In all the neighborhoods I’ve lived, it’s always been 6:30-7:30 PM.
