Not sure how. The hub is where it’s sorted before getting on the trucks

It depends. If you live close to a hub and that’s where your packages come from, then that’s probably ok. It works like this, the hub is the center of the wheeel and the CC’s are the spokes. In my case, it comes to Ontario Ca first and then goes to the CC close to my house before it’s loaded on a truck.
 
I wonder why the sudden delivery estimates without an origin scan. As long as I get it on launch day I'll be happy.

Also there will be ground people that receive Friday. All of the 1-day people on the map should have no issues. There may even be a handful of people in the 2-day zones that get rescheduled for early delivery Friday. Some of the other zones may see one day shaved off of the map as well.

Yeah I live an hour from Louisville International Airport where the UPS hub is located. My shipping is ground, that shouldn't matter for a Friday delivery, a least I'll have my fingers crossed.
 
I would take this question as a no but has anyone had a tracking status that UPS has the package and it’s in transit or something other than ready for UPS ? As I see people getting estimated delivery dates

Nope ..The phone is already listed in my eip with the IMEI and it says active shipped .. However just like you I still don't have any tracking yet.

JoD isn't an option for the XS line ? T-Mobile still requires a massive down payment. $279 for the XS and $379 for the XS Max.

I've been with T-Mobile 4 years now, perfect payment history and credit score of 761. And they still say every new phone requires a down payment like this. Doesn't matter who you are, best #1 credit doesn't matter.

But I can get a Note 9 for zero down on Jump plan.

So is this Apple's doing ?

ATT and Verizon and Xfinity attracting new customers, saying no down payment needed for the new iPhone's

I’ve only been with T-Mobile for 11 months and I had $179.99 down payment for XS and $279.99 for XS Max.

I ordered a phone, 2 watches. I think I'm honestly more excited for the watch, but have not received any info on those. Hoping I get charged tonight or tomorrow morning then tracking.

What was your shipping window? They’ve been really good the past couple of years about getting those pretty accurate. Last year, all of the stores’ initial inventory went to preorders, so it was really smooth. Seems like a bit of a mix this year: some stores have received inventory, others haven’t. If you have an estimated ship date of the 21st, you should have your stuff on launch day. Congrats!
 
Did anyone who ordered with ground shipping get a label that still says ground shipping, or did it change? Was under the impression if I ordered ground they would be upgraded to next day air but my label still says ground and eta 9/24.

My order is B.S. I ordered two gold Xs max’ at 3:35 AM EST and it’s still listed as “information unavailable”. They screwed me over two years ago with my Jet Black 7+. I ordered it three hours before preorders started to ensure that I was getting one at launch, they screwed it up and I didn’t get my phone for two months. The rep had assured me they had plenty. Nope. To top it off it took so long to get my phone that the “phone swap offer” they had at launch expired and they had to manually credit me for it. It’s still hanging out there on my account. And only falls off this month. I smell this same crap for this launch.

I'm new to this thread but this is currently my order. I originally ordered a 64GB iPhone XS Max in gold on the 14th around 5:00pm but I cancelled it on the 17th because I wanted a bigger sized phone. I felt as if it's a waste to spend $2.99 a month on the 200GB iCloud plan when I could just buy a bigger sized phone. So I opted for the 256GB iPhone XS Max in gold and T-Mobile was going to put me on the lower end of the shipping list. So I begged them to put me back on the priority shipment list because I did originally order a phone on the first day of pre-orders. They eventually put me back on the priority shipment list and because my birthday is on Sunday, I told them I wanted to have the phone by my birthday so I could take nice pictures. They saw that I was a customer for 8+ years and wanted me to be happy on my birthday so they also gave me free overnight shipping. . I would seriously love if the phone came on the 20th.

Oh yeah. I am in Maryland so maybe that's why my delivery date is set to tomorrow.

T-Mobile has not sent me a receipt yet and says my order is still processing though. I do have an IMEI number on the EIP page and it says active-shipped.

one of mine has ground shipping and also says 9/24 my 2nd day says 9/20.
[doublepost=1537410248][/doublepost]anyone know what your shipper has a message for you means on the ups app?
 
I’ve had estimated delivery dates in the past on UPS on items that were still waiting to be received by UPS, and once the origin scan hits, the dates update to the actual date
 
Just to confirm, if you’ve been assigned an IMEI number and it says active shipped, this means you will get it Friday?

I was only looking on their page quick, I didn't enter any of my info, or actually fo through any process. It's just what I saw as default.
