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

[Sdl1202]

I've had preorders work in the past. I really do think that one big shipping (as I recall) going bankrupt and holding onto a huge shipment of phones did in fact wreak havoc. While a big company like Apple should have contingency plans, perhaps they did and this situation would have been even worse. In the end, there are no phones in any stores near me, so I will still be among the first if it arrives in the next few days as it seems will happen.

I have preordered every since iPhone 3 & I've had no problem, with exception to iPhone 5 that I ordered thru AT&T but that one came quicker than this one! I'm sure I will end up hopefully getting it at an Apple Store also. I keep checking everyday. I have quite a few stores near me in the San Francisco Bay Area. It's just really sad that you preorder & still have to resort to hunting down a phone!

7+/128/JB/Verizon, ordered on 9/9 at around 3:17am - original est. date was Oct 18-31.

congrats but -- man- that's an incredible wait for 17 minutes after launch (assuming EST)

I am chatting with UPS right now. Asking if my phone is on UPS99 or not. I doubt they know if it's not on their tracking website..

Have any of you all been told this:
"I understand that you need to get further information regards to your shipment. It appears that this is a Apple Shipment. I will need to connect you to the Specialized CSR for Apple Shipment for further assistance. Can I connect you now?" I said YES.

Well, "Pkg shipped" just means it is being "processed" for eventual forwarding to the destination country. I told the agent saying "shipped" creates confusion. It is good to know something is happening, but maybe "processing for shipment" would be better than "shipped." Agent...excuse me...the SPECIALIZED CSR told me he would pass the suggestion along.

I also asked if the CSR role is due to the flood of iPhone shipment questions they are getting and he said YES. UPS has a special group assigned when iPhones launch.

Yep, EST - that's why I've been so heated about Apple's responses and such

 

[broodn]

Errr, i dont like this update as much as the others... Not necessarily bad though.
Now my delivery date says;

Rescheduled Delivery

Scheduled Delivery:
Scheduled delivery information is not available at this time. Please check back later.

Same for me as well

Looking at ours, given the times I'd say its highly likely that ours got on UPS99 currently headed from Incheon to Anchorage: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS99/history/20161005/1314Z/RKSI/PANC

It is then heading from Anchorage to Louisville. From there, my package has to get to Newark, and then down to Lakewood to get on a delivery truck.

It is going to be cutting it really close to get it to me tomorrow.

Yeah but it could be on UPS99 even though there was no departure scan. Scans are very delayed.

I'm in this same batch. how do figure it might be on UPS99 with such a late scan compared to what time the flight left at?

This should stoke some flames - my ordered on 9/24 128 gb matte black plus just went PFS.

 

[Hubson83]

MikeTHIS: This is Plus?

Oh that is great and pretty quick. I ordered on 9/24 too but no progress. Still under processing. This is some good hope that it might go PFS soon.

BTW what's the delivery date it shows on apple.com?

He has written plus. Yes it is!

 

[Hubson83]

My order was placed on 22/23.09 and still processing. 7 Plus 128GB Matt Black. Ech Apple...

I know right! But all in all, it's a good situation. Hopefully, we will too get our orders into PFS

Ordered: 128GB - 7 Plus - Jet Black - 3:20 AM
EST delivery: 10/18 - 10/31

As of now..............still processing.

Ordered my sister a 128GB - 7 Plus - Gold on 10/1
Est delivery: 10/26 - some time in November

She was billed this morning and is currently showing Preparing for Shipment.

This has to be a joke. Both ATT.

 

[broodn]

Those of us with rescheduled delivery or exception status in Korea could it be just a glitch because it is a day later over there for us in the US. Could be just me wishful thinking

Same here , I preordered on 9/9 jB 7+ , 20mins after you and my delivery is nov 11, I called in and had a call back my a Apple manager but all they said was the usual , demand is too high blah blah and nothing they can do , and regarding other phone being placed on a later date and still having earlier delivery date or the same as preorder ones , there's nothing Apple can do as the manager had said, so it's basically a middle finger to all of us who had preordered

It's not. Orders are actually delayed, and UPS cannot give a damn reason why, they don't have any clue

 

[Russell24]

Got two departure scans at 10:02 P.M.(10/5) and 1:35 A.M.(10/6)

Not a joke, reality. Seems crazy but this is what's happening. No rhyme no reason!

The reason is dead simple. Jet Black phones take more time to be produced, and are under a much higher demand

 

[lukebrodyg]

Unreal...

I've been pretty patient but this is getting ridiculous.

That may be true but Apple knows every time they introduce a new color it's in demand. Like last year with that new color rose gold, I say they should have been ready for it!

10/24-11/1 and yes for the plus.

 

[rjruiz2]

10/24-11/1 and yes for the plus.

Wow you got lucky! I ordered my 7+ 256GB MB (unlocked) on 9/22 and still stuck on processing order. :/

I wonder why they switched to UPS instead of staying with FedEx? Seemed like many people have had better results with FedEx than UPS.

 

[Anandc]

10/24-11/1 and yes for the plus.

My delivery dates show almost the same. 10/25 - 11/1.

I hope it gets to PFS soon. I'm travelling on 9/8.

 

[Sdl1202]

Same here, after 26 consecutive days of "processing" it gets old really quick!
