What's really frustrating is I ordered my MB 32GB 7+ at 12:07AM on 9/9 pre-order for T-Mobile through Apple's website, and waited (impatiently, I must admit) for the order to process, and finally be prepared for shipping. The estimated shipping was late September. On 9/27, my account was charged in full, and I received the shipment confirmation. The next day (9/28), I received notice that my iPhone would arrive on 9/30. Fit right into the late September time-frame I had received. Well on Friday, the UPS tracking changed to re-delivery on 10/3. Fine, I don't mind waiting a couple more days. Today, the tracking was again changed to 10/5.
Now I'm starting to get agitated. Considering plenty of people I know ordered the same device, same color, same 32GB variant in some cases days after I did (for T-Mobile, through Apple's site, paid off) and received it already, I'm a bit frustrated that I ordered it literally 7 minutes after pre-order launch and have to deal with these constant delays. I spoke to an Apple rep on Friday who told me that I should have it by Monday. Next would be UPS to see what the delay is. Of course, I know there are a ton of these things being shipped and understand delays. However I could have ordered through T-Mobile on 9/9 and had my desired 32GB MB 7 Plus by now, rather than waiting weeks after its initial release. Just venting. I'm sincerely hoping it doesn't get delayed again, but at this point, I'm just rolling with the punches.
