So, for the folks that got charged earlier today, did you guys get shipment notifications?
I was charged, no update from tmobile or ups. Ya know, Amazon seems perfectly capable of handling massive numbers of orders/shipments on a daily basis. I'm constantly aware of what's going on with my amazon orders, I'm surprised tmobile and apple haven't figured out how they do it yet.
 
Last year, Coco got $38,000 worth of Apple Watch. That's a good dog.

Amazon deals with it daily. Every day. Forever. Apple and the carriers do it for a few weeks per year. Of course Amazon is better at it.

With that said... I want my damn phone! lol.
 
Got 65 responses so far but nothing telling yet. Really need more data on anyone who has already received their phone!

And I know it's a stretch but order #s are going to be a big help too! Thanks to all who have responded so far!
Just submitted this. Awesome format. Thanks.

Are you saying they only take orders a few weeks per year?
I think that the original poster was just stating that the process could be more streamlined.
Aren't all of these big name companies?
 
I agree, Amazon should be better, but Apple and the carriers seem completely clueless every year around this time.

Agreed. I get it to a certain degree, but Apple should definitely communicate to carriers better on where they are, number of units arriving the next day, week, etc. It isn't really the carriers, I don't think. They just give what little info they're given.

Amazon's supply chain and logistics are amazing tho... I doubt any other retailers could reach that level.
