Delivered around 9:00 AM. Cant get my Apple Watch to activate on my cellular plan. Cant get the Gear S3 Frontier removed and AW added. Been on the phone with ATT for over an hour
Yes, there was a return label in the box
So called my local att store where my phone is supposed to be shipped too and they said my pre order still hasn’t shipped even though I placed it on he 14th and was told it would be available for pick up today when I placed the order now there saying it won’t ship for a few days but they have lots of phones in stock but they can’t cancel my order and do a swap fml lol
I’d love it if my iPhone came UPS as then I could have them hold it at their Lincoln Ave station and I’d pop over there and have it by now. As it is, it is “Out For Delivery.” So I have no idea when I’ll get it, just sometime before 8:00 PM today. Why UPS can hold them and FedEx cannot is beyond me. FedEx claims it is because of instructions from the shipper, but why would AT&T or Apple have different instructions for different delivery services. Also by allowing the packages to be picked up, they save time and gas on their trucks, thereby saving money.
Oh well, wait, wait, wait. Patience may be a virtue, but the lessons are a b#tch.
On another note; in the past Apple would put something extra special on their most expensive iPhone, such as optical stabilization on both back lenses, where the less expensive model had it only on the wide angle lens. This year, other than physical size there is no real difference between the iPhone XS and the XS Max. In my humble opinion, with the larger real estate on the iPhone Max it would have been cool if Apple would have made it compatible with the Apple Pencil. That would have really been an addition that, I think, a lot of people would go for. Why they didn’t go for it I don’t know, maybe the OLED screen won’t allow for it.

Mine was delivered. They left it on my porch....about 20 minutes after I left to go back to work. 
Wife will be home around 4:00 though.

Just received mine from Fedex Express. 256 SG Max. Another year down and look forward to seeing you all next year! (Although ill have this baby for 2 years) Good luck to everyone still waiting on their phones!
I love FedEx "New Advance Tracking" map... I guess it's advanced if you're comparing it to USPS.. Other than that, a straight line on a map from origin to destination isn't very far advanced. Especially when you consider the fact that you can actually track the vehicle with UPS and Amazon.
My iPhone XS Max 64GB was delivered at 11:55 AM EDT by USPS. I would've posted sooner, but I've been too busy playing with it.
I hope everyone enjoys their's as much as I'm enjoying mine.

So AT&T goofed this up big time. Because of the message I received from FedEx that the phone was being sent back, I called FedEx, they indicated it was a duplicate order. There is no other order on the account.
I called AT&T they don't know why this is.
AT&T calls FedEx to try and stop the return. That doesn't work.
Phone has to be re-ordered.
Good times. I think the only iPhone I received without issue was iPhone 1. LOL.
