Carrier T-Mobile 2018 New iPhone Pre-Order Thread

I’ve Been pre ordering since the IPhone 6. All you are doing is talking negative saying nobody will get there phones Friday. We will, maybe you won’t. It’s too early for all the countless, back to back negativity you post with every reply. Planes fly fast, you still have an entire day before Friday’s release, and you have tracking information . Relax
I'm relaxed--I'm just being totally honest, that because it said on everyones order that it'll SHIP on the 21st. Everyone else is freaking out wondering if they'll get their phone tomorrow. I've been doing iPhone releases since the iPhone 4, so I too know the history behind it. This year is starkly different than years past with T-Mobile.
I think you’re gonna get yours tomorrow! Trust me once it happens it happens fast
It actually says SHIP BY 21st. Meaning 21st would be the latest day it will ship
Talked to TForce and they confirmed to me that my phone will be delivered on launch day 9/21. I selected Ground on ordering, but my UPS Tracking says 2nd Day Air
For the record, every year it puts the ships by date as the release date and I always get it on the release date.
Mine used to say "Ships on September 21", but they took that "hope" away from me and replaced it with "Information Unavailable". Code Word: "Shut up, you'll get it when we feel like it!"
I don’t think I would have done that change, it will most like be Monday now. Any behind the scenes changes/updates won’t occur. Until you have the first scan the date shown is just a guesstimate off of the label creation.
Actually...

I canceled the request and just left it alone but changed it to be picked up at a HUB
Spoke with the rep this morning he was able to find my tracking information. Apparently it's been ready for ups pick up since the 18th I did opted for overnight shipping so if I don't get it tomorrow I'll be unhappy but Saturday might be the best day that I'll be getting it . Either way I'm happy that I atleast have a tracking number .
Unlike Apple preorders, we can't track all the way from China. The watch preorder thread has watches landing in Louisville this morning, with scheduled delivery tomorrow. Our tracking only is from Louisville to wherever we live. Many watches, and I'm sure phones, were still in China ad late as yesterday. Have to be scanned, processed, then shipped out.
So last night I requested to pick up at CC. Package then showed “in transit” however was pending approval for pickup. So this morning I canceled that request and redid it and got this information. I think the phone are already moving the information just isn’t being updated.
I mean the option you chose when ordering. It doesn't matter. If it's ready on launch day, you'll have it launch day.
That’s good! I accidentally selected ground shipping and I placed the order at 11:45 I’m hoping for tomorrow even though it’s coming from IL
Yep that have. I remember freaking about it in the past. I believe it was the 7 and 8. The x I got from apple directly
T-Mobile said ground but ups saying it's coming tomorrow
