iPhone 7/7+ Apple.com Pre-Order Thread

Yes

I wonder if this email was auto generated from a system. Set to send to orders due today with no delivery confirmation.....

Just got off the phone with UPS after talking with apple about my Saturday delivery. (8:01 group) Supposed to have it delivered no later than today. Apple told me it should be delivered tomorrow if UPS does Saturday deliveries in my area. I called UPS to make sure, and I was told my iPhones are still in China and have not left. UPS said the phone has never been in Korea nor Anchorage. All the tracking information was wrong, due to a glitch. She said it won't be updated until after the phone reaches Louisville, Kentucky, which may take a while due to customs.

This can't be true. It just doesn't fit together. They must have messed up your tracking with somebody else's.

For everyone who got the weird email- was your delivery date on your Apple order today? Mine was

Yep

An annoyed customer service rep may have been trolling you because she wanted some entertainment for the day. I say this because none of that makes any sense.

Yeah and whoever set up the JavaScript template forgot to link the substitutions lol. But the blue ${CARRIER} tag actually does link to UPS.

I gave them my address and everything, they couldn't have mixed my tracking up. The whole being in China thing still doesn't make sense to me since I've been waiting since it shipped on the 19th, but its what she said. I seriously don't know what to believe anymore. I'm currently on hold with Apple, again. Waiting to see what they say...

 

[Oridus]

I wanna believe it so bad.... I really do..... I know not to though. I know I should put my big boy pants on and just wait....

In all my years of tracking shipments I've never had something scan somewhere that it actually wasn't in fact I'd trust the scans more than what they say. In all honesty I kinda think they were just saying that because there tired of people bothering them and there having fun at this point.

No offense to anyone that has been calling I'm obviously in just as much anticipation as all of you.

I agree, the scans should be fairly accurate though UPS (and all carriers for that matter) are known for missed scans but if they scans show up it's not likely the shipments are in another country.

You were right. It looks like that because UPS doesn't have an expected delivery date. Confirmed with Apple via chat.

I will say again, for those of you still in processing .. check the inventory levels on http://www.istocknow.com/live/ at midnight your local time tonight. I did it last night and got to reserve a MB 7+ 128GB that I picked up today. I cancelled my order that was still processing before reserving the one that got into stock.

Not to mention that the latest scan times coincide perfectly with airplane departures at the noted airports.

 

[Feenix]

Anyone know what flight to Louisville I am on, most likely, if this is my depart scan?

Anchorage, AK, United States 09/23/2016 4:11 P.M. Departure Scan

I've been watching this over the course of the evening and the entire stock at the local store has completely disappeared.

What time zone are you in? Last night, the stock disappeared around 10:00pm central time for me, and then complete stock reappeared at around 12:04am central time.

 

[SR1234]

Is it just me or is it deeply frightening that the world's most valuable company can't even master mail merge. Seriously, put the project manager on an ice floe and let him learn world geography by floating in the Bering Strait. Errrrggghhhh.

I'm in mountain time. It seemed to disappear about 30-45 minutes ago. There had been a bunch of 7s in stock and a few 7+s. Maybe when the stores close they reset the inventory numbers.

Cool. A good indicator will be what happens on the east coast in about 25 minutes. Last night, the east coast lit up green right after midnight. After that, I knew I had to wait up for midnight central time and give it a try.

That was a very different situation. Saturday deliveries last week were literal launch-day overflow. I wouldn't count on it again...

Looks like the entire country's been blacked out now. Now we wait for the updates to load.

In my experience, Apple is good at getting new products in the customers' hands so I think they'll try to push them up to Saturday deliveries. And UPS is benefitted if they clear out the pipeline every day they can or they'll just get backed up again.

And it's green!!

Good luck to everyone and goodnight. I just wanted to see if there was a pattern, and it is. Around midnight your local time the map should turn green.
