So they tried to charge my card around 7:30 pm central time,I ordered a 32gb rose gold 7 plus,but my bank threw up a fraud alert and declined the charge,I won't be able to contact my bank till morning. Does anyone know will I lose my place? I have the 19-26 shipping estimate
CALL t-mobile but you probably will loose your place!

but the bank fraud department should be 24/7???

You know what's pretty funny is that Apple says they're all about making for a great customer experience. While their products certainly achieve that (well, for the most part, if you don't have a bricked iOS 10 update or an iPhone 6 with "Touch Disease") and their services achieve that (customer service, Genius Bar, free workshops and youth programs), it's the experience of getting their products and services that is relatively the worst part of the Apple experience that should be completely revisited and revamped.

Granted, third-party companies such as wireless carriers that don't have the same level of commitment as Apple are involved that hamper the experience. And for many customers, it's not a straight purchase unlike getting a Mac: there are many different programs and methods on how people obtain the iPhone and iPad, such as upgrade programs, lease programs, finance programs, trade-ins, etc.

I thought that new head of Apple Retail Angela Ahrendts was supposed to address and fix all that, but two years later, it's still a mad rush at 3AM Eastern Time into antiquated, broken, and overburdened systems, and every party has a difference answer for every customer, and everyone has a different experience.

Yes correct. Sometime on Thursday that UPS plane "UPS960" will fly to Sacramento Mather Airport.
Usually when it arrives at the Louisville, I'll get a UPS notification and another one when it departs.

I mention earlier tonight that 2 years ago I was tracking the plane on flightaware on the day before iPhone launch date

What I'm getting at is t-mobile will only send phones out from l'ville. May fly from l'Ville to Cali but will never day shipped from cali.

She's too busy collecting her $86 million dollar salary to worry about customers getting their iPhone.

I think it most likely will. It's only a 4 hour flight

However it will land in Sacramento Thursday night. Then go to local UPS hub to be sorted then to a UPS truck for delivery Friday morning

maybe one of the 7 non plus will get an early slipped through delivery!! wouldn't that be nice

if i worked at ups i would switch one of the labels on them so it appears its a 6s or 6 so it has no delay

ICYMI found out that the iPhone 7 will not support 4x4 MIMO which is disappointing.
