pernding charge on AMEX disappeared this morning don't know what it means

JB 7+ 128Gb T-Mob, 26th Sept - 3rd Oct.

Was the pending charge on last friday ? or after that ?

 

[billhelm]

Ordered at 9:30 am central that morning - new to the upgrade program - AT&T Black Plus 128... Oct 4 - 11. doesn't matter to me because they don't certify our BYOD program at work for a few weeks so I couldn't use it anyway without cutting off my corporate email.

So nice to just stroll online and order and not sweat the launch day. Plenty of time to order cases and such. Still getting my phone in a few weeks. Ah well.

 

[Razorhog]

Nothing. Mine is still processing.

Same here.

When you first tracked by reference wouldn't you note tracking number and then use it for subsequent tracking?

I did not get a regular tracking number. Just a " xxxxxxxxxxx1234" type.

How early does UPS generally start delivering packages?

8:30 - 9:00 AM (least where I am) up until 10:00 (or if needed later) at night.

My Matte Black 256GB 7+ has been in Louisville for over 24 hours! I hope it makes it to the Orlando hub today and then onto Tampa!!

I ordered a matte black 256GB 7 Plus as well. Hoping mine makes it to the Orlando hub soon and then it's headed a bit west to me. We're not too far from each other.

I think I'll celebrate the only year of not receiving the new iPhone on launch day by repackaging my iPhone 6s Plus and imagining it's my 7 Plus as I re-open the box.

I know in past years they pretty much staged out of Louisville and they all went out from there overnight Thursday night/Friday morning. I always figured it was easier to control early delivery out of one location vs every hub.

Got an update this morning my phone had a departure scan from Chek Lap Kok at 4:30pm (Hong Kong time)

Then I got a text from UPS saying
"UPS http://m.ups.com/t/MYTRACKINGNUMBER/enUS EXCEPTION as of 09/14/2016 09:37 PM.Reply STOP to cancel msgs"

UPS website didn't show any info. I called and a lady told me there is adverse weather conditions but my shipment should be on time (Friday) but it still has to go through customs.

My iPhone has the same departure scan and on UPS my tracking still says on time. Are you tracking the plane route? I have no idea on how to do that.

Also, for anyone that does UPS Mychoice when should I change my delivery type? I want to have it stay at a local HUB but im nervous to change the delivery until the phone is in the United States. Should I not worry about that and just change the delivery type now?

The good news is for those that are in the 9/27-9/29 group, once people start getting there's by going into the stores on launch day, (and cancelling their online orders) we'll move ahead and be closer to the 27th or earlier I'd imagine.

 

[dr.drew]

Phone finally left Shanghai! It's astounding that something can be in China an hour ago and show up to my door on Friday.

 

[dannyTO]

Hopefully UPS delivers my phones fairly early on Friday. Gonna wake up around 8

 

[AlexPuente]

Got a departure scan from ZhengZhou at 4:49 PM (local time). Any clue where it's headed and how long does it take? Can't seem to find any flight at that time

Anyone here order a ATT 128gb Plus Black, get a confirmation at :13am and its preparing for shipment or has shipped? Was your original delivery date 27th to the 29th?

I am seeing mixed reports and I really wish we would've started a spreadsheet like we didnt for the apple watch but I want to know if anyone with the same delivery as me has been charged and/or shipped. Mine was apple pay and there was never a verification charge that I saw on my account. My significant others order was via CC because she just got her phone replaced so apple pay wasnt set up. Even thou apple pay was faster, her phone shipped first .

I got the AT&T 128GB Plus Black and my confirmation email was 3:13AM EDT with the delivery date as 9/27 - 9/29. Still processing the order. Nothing in UPS or Support Profile.

I keep hearing that Tim Cook is a 'master of the supply chain.' Really? How come we've had nothing but problems for the last 2-3 launches?

 

[chriscrowlee]

Same here. They don't display the full tracking unless you're a myups customer which I'm not since my address is considered "commercial" and ineligible.

 

[marc_c]

I ordered the same exact phone, and I have not received anything. I thought all Apple products ship via UPS?

I read an article last year about the Apple 'Just in Time' delivery model while waiting for my 6S+, but not sure what the breakdown is for the different providers (AT &T, Verizon, etc.,) but iPhones are shipped on both carriers. I think anything ordered directly from Apple is shipped via UPS.

 

[Rob9874]

9/27-9/29 here too. Thinking if we don't see any activity today, it may be better to try the store this weekend. My question is, when do you cancel the order? The second you have the phone in your hand? My luck, they'll process my pre-order while the cancellation is processing.

But the phone hasn't launched yet...

Right click on the tracking page and choose 'view page source' then search for '1Z' and when you find the set of numbers that end with the last 4 digits of your tracking #. you've found your full tracking #!

Mine says preparing for shipment too. Where can I find the shipping info to check where it is ?

 

[Cat2980]
