This sounds encouraging and I bet that most who ordered early last friday will get it on launch day. I made a last minute decision to preorder after finding out about the $800 credit so I’m not really expecting mine to arrive on friday, but obviously would be ecstatic if it did.

Ordered a 256 pacific blue pro on 10/16 around 4:20 pm.
Estimated delivery: Oct 26-Nov 2
Order Status: In Progress

Anyone who ordered a 128 GB Pro have an expected delivery date of October 23?
I ordered a Pro at around 11 am PDT and got October 26 - November 1. I see other folks with that time frame who also ordered earlier in the morning closer to preorder live time.
 
So many on here post, "It's really no big deal if I don't get it on launch day" or "I can wait a few more days" but in reality we ALL want it as soon as we can get it. It's been that way for me for a long time and I don't see that changing. Launch day is almost becoming like a holiday I look forward to. Anyone else?

I am the same way. It’s like why should someone care if we want it day of and worry about it. Let’s us do and feel how we freaking want! But I got lucky, I have an Apple store in town and we are only 500k population so every year I get a 8am in store pickup time on launch day! I can’t wait for UPS. Lol

Totally agree, there are a lot worse things we could be waiting for! I've got a friend that works the customer counter at my local FedEx, hoping they can hold the package for me and I'll snag it Friday at 9:00AM.

they actually can’t, strict rules on that. He could get in trouble. It has to be scanned at delivered to address

With the AT&T trade-in offer, the faster I can stop using my iPhone X (my daily driver) the better. When I pre-ordered that I was set to trade in my LG V20. My X was accidently routed to wrong city, so arrived two days late. The day before it was delivered I dropped my V20, breaking the screen. That SUCKED! I ordered a screen from Amazon for about $36 and repaired it before mailing it to AT&T, who promptly lost it (they still credited my account for the trade). I would never have sent it in with a broken screen, but at the same time it stung that I repaired the screen for nothing.
 
So I'm guessing that they can't leave them at a designated drop off either? Like Walgreens or Walmart?

You didn't hire FedEx. AT&T did.
FedEx isn't going to do anything other than what AT&T hired them to do --- deliver it to the address you put on the order.
 
Ordered A Gold iPhone 12 Pro on Friday at about 8:02am est. in Hampton Roads, VA. Had the expected date on Oct. 26-Nov. 2nd. AT&T showing “preparing to ship”. Nothing on FedEx manager. I think it will be here Friday though.

Have you signed up for FedEx Delivery Manager? At AT&T mine has been showing preparing for delivery since Sunday. But when I signed up for FedEx Delivery Manager I was able to see activity starting on 17 October and showing a delivery date of October 23.

is this an app?

How did you check on FedEx? can you tell the steps? I ordered 12 pro 128 blue and it says 10/23-10/29 but I ordered at 9:30 CST. My status changed to preparing for shipment

This is just from previous experience and reading about others. So I can’t say anything for sure. But they have strict instructions that it must be delivered to the address. Now if it is a failed delivery I think you might be able to redirect after that. But the first attempt HAS to be at the given address.

Looks like mine just went to Preparing to ship. 12 Pro Graphite 512GB. Anyone ever accidentally forget to enroll in AT&T Next.. will they add this after? I don't wanna risk calling now and some rep accidently cancelling my order.

still ask ur friend, maybe has a way around it without getting in trouble. But I doubt it could even be redirected to him in the first place.
