I just found out why the preorder was so much easier this year. In our launch day prep guide it says that T-Mobile will not have any launch day inventory they decided to allocate all of the inventory to preorders.

Good move. I also believe Apple producing less SKUs for the X vs 7+ helped as well...
Last year, we had black, jet black, rose gold, and silver colors. In addition, there were 32, 128, and 256 GB configurations. That meant specific SKUs sold out a lot faster (*cough* 128GB black/jet black).

Yeah, I just spoke with a rep and that is exactly what she told me. She also told I will probably not get my silver 256 tomorrow, but I will def get it next week.
 
Just got my text and email. Checked tracking and it’s scheduled to be delivered by end of day tomorrow.

I’m absokutely impressed by T-Mobile this year. I’ve been frustrated with every order but this one (well, I think it sucks I had to do a down payment since we are less than three year customer but whatever, that may have worked in my favor in getting a launch day device). It’s obviously not in my hands yet but at this point I’m not at all worried.
 
UPDATE: Just received my departure scan, 3:45pm EST

Upon checking recent departures from Louisville Intl, looks like my devices are on UPS flight 2966 scheduled to land at 4:53pm PST at Ontario Intl.
 
I tried to call to change my delivery to depot hold and was told I can't change it until a delivery attempt has been made.
[doublepost=1509653721][/doublepost]That's really weird, I always do that!!!
 
Hahah I work for AppleCare and its my day off, I just thought it would be appreciated by those who aren't sure of a launch day delivery. Last year, I didn't order at midnight, and ended up not getting my phone till a month or two later, it was super frustrating being in the dark about the process.
It was a nice gesture, just ribbing you a little instead of refreshing the UPS app.

How soon after you got charged does it ship. Like exactly the time from charged to shipped.
Mine was several hours on Sunday. Don't recall the exact span, sorry. It could be different at this point anyway since there is less slush time. They need to get your phone ON THE MOVE to you! :)

I got charged this morning and a few hours later the tmobile website updated with 'shipped' status that included the tracking number. What's interesting is UPS doesn't yet recognize the tracking number. Anyone else in this situation?

If you just got charged.. very unlikely for today. I think most of us charged this morning just shipped an hour or two ago. It’s usually several hours.

for me, I got charged Tuesday, Got the Label update later in the day. Today (Thursday) I get an update that its been scanned and shipped for delivery tomorrow.

Also, I hope all is well with ya. Life can be tough but the very least we can offer are kind words and wishing/ hoping for a quick recovery for you and your loved ones. =)

well if you're looking for it in the UPS system, it won't be there until it refreshes. usually the case for a lot of packages and such. It means the label got created.

i got charged at around 9am Central time this morning and still have not gotten my shipping notification..
 
Is there anything so sublime like watching your iPhone's airplane on a website... LOL. Mine's on UPS2112 (woot for Rush fans!)
 
Given everyone with a 11/3-10 estimate getting theirs so soon, makes me wonder if my 10-17 estimate will be on the sooner end or even possibly pushed up.

I havent been following along the other posts but when TMobile says it’s “shipped” when you got charged, it means the label got created at the very minimum. I don’t know if anything actually “shipped” i.e. on the plane to you.

Yup. Doubt we see any updates for a few hours. Late evening.
 
I got charged at least a day before I got a tracking number, but its origin scan was Louisville. So I assume they charged me when it shipping from China, and didn't bother to send a tracking number until it was on it's final destination leg.

Hey UPS, can I just wait for you at the door at the Newark airport?

So close yet so far. 1 more sleep!

I’ll be journeying and partying around Manhattan Saturday night so hopefully I get to fully utilize the new camera and selfie camera with friends this coming weekend and do my own review of it.

the problem for me is, Tmobile is still saying "Pre-Order Estimated to ship 11/03/2017 - 11/10/2017" eve though the charges went through.. i even called my bank right away to make sure... :(
