My guess is that it’ll be processed at Brussels around 9pm tonight (Around those hours for the other hubs as wells).

We should get a notification from Apple/DHL that shipping information has been received within a few hours, this basically means that DHL has gotten info that there’s a package for you (but they haven’t gotten the package yet, usually).

My iPhone X case took this route:

When I ordered the new Apple Watch in September, I got an SMS from DHL at 5.20 PM that had a package for me from Apple.

The best thing is probably to get working with other stuff and try to forget that there’s a phone coming, otherwise I think it’ll be a long day..

Today is the big day: tonight we should see our phone Shipped. Don't freak out if the status is not updated until the night, last year my 7 plus was shipped the day before around 9pm!
Thanks makes me feel better, due 3/11 and money taken :D

Delivery 3/11 but I have still "Preparing to Ship", no tracking number, no invoice. It's really normal practise ?
I'm no invoice but they took the money yesterday

Portugal but iPhone from Germany? T-Mobile Einrichtungsunterlagen
Did you guys forget that the "Hello" screen appears in multiple languages that change continuously on the screen, until the user moves on to the next step? The snapshot here might as well be taken by someone in Portugal but at that exact moment it was displaying German. Just sayin' :)

Wow that's even more frustrating to hear that most of you guys get your new iPhones tomorrow! For me my delivery date of 20 - 27 November hasn't been changed since I ordered it at 9:07....
Don't tell me.... same case here: 29 November - 5 December - I check my Apple order status every day in hope for a miracle, but no... :( - The next couple of weeks will be gaaaa ! horrible and sweet at the same time :D

Yeah, this doesn't mean anything, but in the background you have an envelope from t-mobile with labels in German (as far as I know there's no t-mobile in Portugal, actually) and a qwertz keyboard

Dude! There's no reason for them to ship your phone 3 days early because from their warehouse to you it only takes 1 day.

Try to type in your order number from Apple as a reference number on the UPS website - maybe then your shipment will show up...

Country: Czech Republic
Model: iPhone X 256GB Silver
Status: Order in Progress (delivery scheduled 1-7 December)

A little dismayed at my delivery date. Ordered about 10 mins after go-live (multiple page refreshes) and CZ delivery was already on 4/5 weeks. Looks like people ordering within the same timeframe elsewhere are getting their devices close to release date. CZ allocation must have been pretty low.
