i’m still a little irked that i’m on ups ground, despite reps saying everyone gets upgraded to next day air

Mines says 2nd day air. I'm hoping this means it's shipping Wednesday or Thursday because I already took Friday off work. lol

I took a half day (getting home around 11:30am), but mine says Ground... A rep did say that I was guaranteed shipment on Friday. But don't know if I can trust that person since the conversation started off the rep saying I will get it 3-5 days after it ships out on 9/21...
 
Go to bill....eip plans...it should be there with imei number also.
I have an assigned imei also. But honestly, going from the iPhone x to the XS is not really a huge upgrade. I'm more exited about the Apple watch. Did anyone get charged for the watch yet?

Does anyone actually have a UPS delivery date showing up? I have been charged and have tracking but the tracking shows “unavailable”
That will get updated the moment you get the "origin scan" -- if your shipping is next day air, it could be scanned as late as Thursday night and you would still be able to get on time Friday.

Submitted my first order for a 64GB SG Max at 11:45 PM on the 13th but was stuck with ground shipping. Cancelled and reordered at 9:15AM on the 14th and was charged on Sunday. MyUPS shows tracking info. Ordered a Gold SS Apple Watch 44mm on 9/15, still not charged.
 
if you get an origin scan today or tomorrow, phone will not make it to us until Friday anyway...
Itll be thursday before you see any movement on tracking
[doublepost=1537294258][/doublepost]When checking tracking by reference, do you need to put the number the phone was ordered for, correct?
 
I have a JOD upgrade, ordered on the phone with executive response team at 8:15am MT on Friday. Just this morning at 9:17am am MT I was charged my $109.99 plus tax. Nothing in myUPS yet.

Me too I'm more excited about the watch as well. Wonder if anyone has gotten tracking or charged for theirs yet. Mine isn't supposed to ship till 9/21 till 10/2 so sure I should see others get shipped before mine curious if anyone has.

tracking by reference has never worked for me.
 
Ordered 256 GB Xs Max Grey via TMobile website 12:37AM launch day. Just got the credit card charged morning of 9/18. Nothing yet on EIP page, but my monthly bill is processing right now.
 
I noticed that last years order of the iPhone X was sent as Overnight shipping (to me) through T-Mobile. I'm still getting mixed messages from different reps about this years Ground shipping

I got the imei even though my bill is processing. Just select the previous billing period and look at the eip plans. It will show up that way.

I just got charged for the last of my iPhone's that I ordered (XS 64gb SG) placed around noon on the 14th. I'm excited for sure. Switching from android to Apple so we'll see how it goes.

Anyone have any thoughts on the best way to switch to apple from android?

How many people here have "UPS Ground" as their shipping method in UPS My Choice?
I do as well. Last time I preordered (the 7 plus jet black) i had ground, but shipping was delayed on the jet black. I remember hearing that all preorders that were not delayed, regardless of ground or overnight, came on release date. Im hoping that rings true this year.
