I'm going to give it one more week from today and if my order still shows processing then I'll cancel the order. I understand there are millions out there that have ordered, but preordering a product should entail that those who preorder get the product before the general population can traipse into a store and pick one up on a whim.
 
my phone departed hong kong at 7:12 pm and is on its way to Anchorage. Lets assume, UPS tracking is correct and the phone reaches my area tomorrow (saturday). Will there be a delivery attempt? If not, am I allowed to pick it up from their facility and how to arrange for the same?

If anybody has this info or contacted UPS regarding this, please pitch in.


TIA

Anyone still have "mechanical failures" as their last entry, more than a day ago? So ridiculous.

Howdy! yours still in mechanical failure? Gosh! This is so bad!!
 
I ordered 2 iPhone 7 Pluses at 00:05 and got a confirmation at 00:15 my Matte Black shipped this Monday and im on the 801 group while the jet black is still processing. I got tired of the anxiety so I went and deleted UPS app and I will just wait for it to deliver :/

Well while all of you track your planes and check your tracking and so on (which don't get me wrong, I'd totally do too lol) I sit here with no information whatsoever. I ordered at 2am 9/9 so smile even just a little that your phone is at least doing SOMETHING.
Why, Apple?

Same

I'm so glad your phone is on it's way to you (hopefully, maybe?)!

I'm pretty sure most customer centers are M-F. Stores are open but that usually adds a day to the transit time. Some people are saying UPS may do Saturday deliveries but on twitter, they're saying no, basically.

Wise man right here. I just wanted to know so I can make sure someone will be home to sign for it.
 
For some reason, I am so far behind everyone else on here. I just got the clearance completed status. Who knows how long until it actually departs!

Yep! Best way to do it is look up the closest ups Customer Center, not store. If it ships to a store there is a holding fee, and it delays by a day. Give the customer center a call and tell them your tracking number. Tell them you'd like to have the package held as a will call at the center and that you'll pick it up. No fee, no delay.
I know this as I do this with a lot of packages, most recently (yesterday) my wife's iPhone 7+ 128 RG. Had it held at the customer center and picked it up without issue. So jealous. Anyhow, Hope this helps.

Yeah, I am on ATT Next. I had a processing order already with Apple.com to be shipped by Apple to my home. It was supposed to be shipped Oct. 12-18th. A friend of mine told me the store normally gets new shipments and updates inventory around midnight. So I gambled, cancelled my order during the day yesterday and got lucky by going to the website and reserving one that showed in stock (7+ MB 128GB).

I reserved the new one online for store pickup staying with ATT Next ....

I actually live in Houston -- it's one of the locations in Houston. I don't want to specify which one due to security reasons and my pickup time being in the post above.

I definitely used this tool as well at midnight ... http://www.istocknow.com/live/

You're going to love the matte black. I did the same thing last Sunday in Fort Worth: checked the reservation site and found a matte black Verizon model, reserved it, and picked it up 30 minutes later.

I wouldnt even give it a week. Keep checking for stock near you and cancel when you can go pick one up.
 
Another fellow 8:01er here...UPS just went through my neighborhood. Guess that squashes all hope that it'd be here today. There's always Monday I presume :-/

I totally agree! I would give ANYTHING to be in their shoes. Ordered 9/9 when pre-order opened at 12:10am pacific time, expected shipping date October 18-31.
 
I don't think it's a forsure thing either we get it Saturday or Monday. Sucks because I was either suppose to get it yesterday or today
