You should be okay. It’s just a auto generated email based on what the value would be without the promo. I traded in my XR while upgrading to a 12 Pro and looking at the order in my account it shows the value as $211 but when my most recent bill after the upgrade generated, it showed the correct monthly credit to match the $415 value that T-Mobile is offering for existing customers.

This how trade in credit worked with T-Mobile. You’re getting full credits, splits 30months.
Where did you find it. All three of my phones are marked "shipped" but I have no active EIPs
It means “it’s happening”. I notice a charge for my Pro last night and checked my T-Mobile status and was at “Running” as well. Just checked my UPS app and now I have 2 items scheduled for Friday. The wife got the max and I got the Pro.
No movement yet on my iPhone 12 Mini pre-order. Hoping that once it's actually on its way I can have it re-routed to a UPS location without the fee.
If I'm not home to sign for the package I won't get it launch day anyway.
Also FYI, all colors of the 256GB Pro Max have estimated dates of 11/13 on the TMo store right now. Must've restocked big time!
If it says ships by 11/13 does that really mean we won’t get it until next week??...or will it arrive ON the 13th?
my preorder changed to ships by 11/11. my ps5 got delayed to be delivered on friday too...friday can’t come soon enough 
It'll arrive on Friday. Don't know why but that's how they've always done it.
We just moved to T-Mobile from Sprint so we’ve been curious how launch-day works.
Originally ordered the Pro but the dates they gave were 12-04 to 12-28. The PM were 11-25 to 12-01, so we canceled the pro and went with the Pro Max on Friday evening. 256GB in Pacific Blue. Figured even if I had to wait til December 1st, it’s still better than waiting til maybe Christmas.
The preview details on the T-Mobile app still says 11-25 to 12-01 but when I tap and view the order it now says Ships By: 11/11.
That’s good, right? I’m kind of excited this time around. I’m usually a late (three months or more after release) adopter but the design this time around has been what I’ve been waiting for since my 4S died and I ended up getting a 6.

I actually have no idea, I just assumed I would have to do so. I work the usual 9 to 5 so I'll likely not be home when it arrives.
You can do these things to be worry free.
-Check your bank see if its been charged
-UPS app for tracking#
-Tmo app >EIP should have the new iphone listed
-Text tmo rep for confirmation
If no to all, then it is not coming early. Sorry.
It's a good sign however a better sign will be once you have a UPS tracking number with an origin scan. That means UPS has the package and it is moving in their system.

Mine says ships by 11/11 now as well
Mine also now says it ships 11/11/2020. I keep refreshing it and UPS MyChoice waiting to see if I've got a shipping number, but so far no luck.
i wouldn’t be surprised if we get the shipped email around 7-10pm cst tonight.
it’s coming already!
Looks like I’ve got both a tracking number and scheduled delivery time on UPS’ site. Friday the 13th by 9:00pm. Says “shipment ready for UPS”.
Feeling a bit optimistic. Can’t find anything in the T-Mobile app though, could be I’m looking in the wrong place. I’m heartened by the tracking number and delivery date though.
What I've heard, anecdotally, is that most drivers are just signing for the customer since their software still requires it, but they're social distancing.
