Hey,
someone from Germany here and ordered with Telekom / T-Mobile?
I ordered 2 minutes after an "unofficial" midnight release (256gb space grey) and it already slipped to the end of november (with pre-reserveration ticket) - i cant think thats normal.....

My experience has been to never switch pickup to a UPS store, has always added an extra delivery day.
It sounds like you always buy insurance but have used it once. If you add up the cost of each of the insurance plans and subtract your savings from the time insurance helped you, I think you'll find that it has cost you quite a bit more than the money it's saved you. This is why the extended warranties/insurance products are typically not worth the money.
My honest advice is to take the insurance premium and put it in a savings account. If you never need the insurance, the money stays there and you add your next "premium" with your next phone. This way you're paying yourself and are self insured. If you happen to be unlucky on your first round of savings, you'll end up negative for a period but will collect savings over the long run.
It does appear that this pre-order is moving incredibly smoothly compared to previous ones.
Ordered on launch date at 12:30 am pdt got a silver iphone x 64 gb eip on tmobile just got successfuly charged on my card after being declined on another card i had put as my payment method still says partially preorder but i figure that will change sooooo x cited !!!!!!
I paid the EIP off for my 7+ and will be selling that. I traded my 6+ in to get the promo credit. I had no credit left to offset the X, so I ended up putting down $810.19 bringing my equipment charge to $5.42 per month.
If you change to the UPS Customer Counter where your packages come from, it will be ready when they open on Friday morning.
Depends. You always have to assume it will add a day but I've had a lot of packages arrive same day -- usually on the late bus. But if you arrange for p/u at the actual UPS depot you can p/u same day anytime from opening to close which is nice b/c they open at 8am. Another alternative is paying for the two-hour delivery window (2 free if you have premium My Choice). But it's not guaranteed and I wouldn't bet on it launch day if you live in an urban area. Where I am they often miss the estimated 4 hour window by hours.
Just held my delivery and discovered that my UPS CC opens at 7:30!! :-D
Just FYI at this point USE THE UPS APP! TMobile app is unstable and their website has stale data. If yours has been stuck in 'order processing', fire up UPS app and sign up for free UPS my choice.
It will find your package by the address and provide you all the relevant details. Mine is scheduled for Friday delivery and this was the only way to find that out lol.

I had to switch reps when pre-ordering, that’s how bad it is. I will continue to hate, because it’s terribad and terribad isn’t a word. T-Mobile customer service is a 1st world problem, with 3rd world support.
The rep I was speaking to was talking at 200mph, not listening to me, and explaining things I told her didn’t need explaining. When we went to process the order, she said “you want a 256 Space Black, correct?” We hadn’t discussed which phone I wanted yet, but she was already clicking things in her system. I said, very, VERY clearly to avoid a mistake “no, I want a 64 gb silver.” Her response? “Ok 256gb Space Black”.
I immediately told her to put a new rep on the phone, as I was certain she was going to screw up my order. I was transferred to another foreign rep, all went smoothly. 2nd time’s a charm with T-Mobile phone support.
I would love to say this happens infrequently, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Simple, straightforward, easy problems are made difficult with the foreign reps. The occasional time I get connected to someone in the US, my issue gets resolved promptly. I’m not stereotyping to stereotype. Just going off my experience.
It’s an Uncarrier move that needs to happen: Domestic only support.

Got my updated EIP agreement this morning with my IMEI. Also now shows shipping in the T-Mobile order status. 64GB Silver. Ordered Friday 8:50 Central Time.
This is absolutely not true. I never traded a phone in to start a JOD contract. it is not REQUIRED to trade in a device to add JOD.
I wonder if the line at UPS that day will be similar to Apple Stores. Heh. My UPS depot only has like 6 parking spots for customers. That will be interesting.
Pretty sure he means once you’re already using JOD on the line.
Me. I had an issue when I called st 3am with the down payment. Contacted executive support and was granted a better credit level which allowed the $0 down. I was able to place an order for two 64gb silver x’s around noon est 10/27. Still no movement on T-Mobile or UPS.
right, but if I pay the lease off at say the 10 month point. I will own the phone and can start another JOD contract. Which is my plan with the X. With the down payment and monthly lease payment the phone is roughly 60% paid off. Selling it on the side will net a profit at that point.
Mine was 11/3-11/10. 64GB Silver. Mine shipped already and I have the IMEI in my EIP agreement.
