If you were charged, Then I would assume you would be getting it sooner then later.
P.S. How can I have it changed, So I can pick it up at my local UPS center?
Got a tip for us?

I’ve talked to 4 reps and they’re all stating that those who have ground chose them willingly even though it costs $6.99 over the free 2 day shipping option.
Should I assume that my ground shipping will arrive on the 21st? Another rep is giving me the option of canceling my order and to get a new one (with current 9/21 ship date) and give me the option of overnight shipping (fee waived).

biggest pile of **** i’ve seen/read. i was never given an option to select my shipping method and i preordered through 611.
i wasn't given an option either....both of my iPhones have ground.
it’s 2:36PM CST. I was charged yesterday around 5:00PM CST and got my tracking number around 12:34AM CST today. No email from tmobile and no change on my account other than the IMEI on my EIP page
Same here, no option given all i was told i was getting expedited shipping. Ordered via 611.
I'm glad I got a rep who knew what to do come launch night. I didn't get an option for shipping and when I saw the email, it's showed overnight for both.
I've looked at past pages on this thread, and also found a reddit, and people are saying that with ground everyone will get them on launch day. It's happened before multiple times. It's just weird that some people who got ground were automatically switched to 2 day shipping while some weren't...
I know everyone is hyped for their XS/XS Max, but has anyone confirmed pricing for JOD iphone Xr???
Does TMobile still ship phones in the obvious boxes that are black with hot pink T Mobile logo? At least Apple uses plain brown packages.
Okay so I called UPS, and the agent said that the shipper did not require a signature for the package, and it's up to the driver's discretion. She said if you live in an apartment they may require the signature but a single family home more than likely wouldn't require a signature. Each of our mailboxes require a key and we have our own parcel lockers with keys so hopefully I'm in the clear bec I can't take off work Friday.

Are there any models on backorder or would you still get the phone on Friday if you ordered today?
No joy for this XS Max 512GB Gold -- no CC, nothing on UPS, nothing on T-Mobile
Anybody else with a 512GB seen activity?
No movement for my XS Max 512GB Gold either.
So to recap my iPhone XS pre-order journey:
I had a 5 line T-Mobile One plan.
My line currently has an iPhone 8 Plus on JoD.
At 12:01am I contacted T-Force about a JoD upgrade to iPhone XS. Was told $279 down.
Simultaneously, I had T-Mobile.com loaded and was showing $0 eligible on EIP on my other lines.
12:10am, told T-Force to shove it, and ordered an upgrade on my mom's line. iPhone XS 64GB Space Grey. Paid $86 in taxes. Order complete and agreement signed by 12:15am.
Sunday morning, Case Debit card charged for the $86 in taxes.
Later Sunday morning, I hear T-Mobile is finally doing a BOGO $700 off (like the other carriers). I message T-Force and add a line and order a second XS 64GB (This time it's Gold). Used a different debit card (BofA)... card charged $113 immediately (Taxes plus SIM card).
Monday morning, I finally get my IMEI and EIP contract to show in My T-Mobile for the first iPhone XS order. Also correctly setup UPS MyChoice in my girlfriend's name (she is T-Mobile account holder) and get the tracking on the first phone. Also re-direct to local UPS CC. The tracking has never shown a date, but since changing the delivery to the Customer Center, it has been in "EXCEPTION" status with no date. I still expect it to be there Friday morning. Pics:
As for my second order, there has been no movement. Not even an indication in my account of a new line added. No additional tracking numbers in UPS MyChoice. Nothing. I even check the order status on the external status page for new lines and that status hasn't changed. Pic:
Hopefully the second comes Friday too. Hopefully I get tracking in time to redirect that on to the UPS CC as well.
After I receive the new phones, my current JoD Product Red iPhone 8 Plus will JoD "upgrade" to a cheap T-Mobile Revvl... spend 1 day with me and then be returned for a $50 restocking fee. Easy way to get out of the $800 still owed on the iPhone 8 Plus lease.
So complicated... yet so fun.

Ground shipping can take one day if you’re in Indiana (the place where a lot of phones are currently). If you’re on the east, ground can take 2 days. If you’re on the west, ground can take 3+ days.
Is there anybody on the west coast with ground shipping whose tracking number shows it’s being shipped from Indiana?

UPS does not deliver to mailboxes. They will leave the package at your doorstep.
Me sort of. I'm in Utah so I'm assuming I'm under the 3 + days. Ground shipping as well coming from IN.
UPS My Choice now says its shipping 2nd day air. If this is true, people should start seeing origin / departure scans tomorrow or maybe even tonight. We should definitely start seeing movement this time tomorrow.

Ok if your package doesn’t have an origin scan by the end of the day I don’t think you’re getting it on 9/21.
