The reason for the "Monday" estimate is because the labels were created on Saturday for 2nd day shipping. So the software is processing the estimate based on *that*. The actual 2-day clock won't begin until the phones are actually handed to UPS, probably on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week, so that the arrival day is the 23rd with a few people getting it a day early.
Got a tip for us?

Just got my tracking number from UPS! Sadly that Monday estimate definitely won't be happening but we can always dream of an early delivery, right!?
Mine still shows Estimated to ship 10/24/2020 - 11/02/2020 ordered right at 7 AM CST
I wrote the bottom comment about FedEx tripping.
haha funny. I was just spreading the work. Seems interesting and I hope its true.
I know it is not T-Mobile tracking but I have tracking from Apple.

I'm jealous of you guys.
Mine ships on November 11-16.
Last year and the year below Apple got ahead of the game. They put those dates further out than inventory is actually at so they don't mad customers when the order doesn't show up on time. I bet you will get tracking sometime by the start of the week or weeks end.
How funny I just received and email saying your package will be deliver tomorrow
My order isn’t even going to ship for a while. Nov 3 - 9 is my shipping estimate, which just so happens to fall right between the pro max pre-orders. I’m thinking of canceling and holding off for the max which I could receive only a couple of days after the pro would have shown up.
This is correct. The delivery estimate is irrelevant until you receive an Origin Scan in Louisville, likely as late as into the wee small hours of Friday morning.
I am already loosing my mind knowing it says 10/21 for delivery.
So earlier I posted a post from @StaceyMJ86. New rumors are coming out that Apple is not holding phones ordered Directly from Apple, and only holding phones from carriers for a Friday Delivery. Has anyone else heard of this?
That would be so bad if they did that not fair for the rest of us who didn’t order at Apple
UPS is saying a Wednesday Delivery. I ordered from Apple!!
I already regretted not ordering from Apple. If this is true, now I really regret it lol.
This is a recurring rumor that we see year after year. I can only recall one instance in the last several years of following these threads where a single person got one early but it was deemed to be a mistake And definitely not a widespread occurrence. I would chalk this one up to the same phenomenon we’re all seeing in the UPS notes from today. The tracking information has been created but until it reaches Kentucky and gets the origin scan it’s all meaningless. That applies whether it is T-Mobile or Apple direct orders.
