[tromboneaholic]

Yeah true. I’m so lucky I got in so easy. My friends have partial preorder and mines is preorder

What is the difference between partial and preorder? Do you you know?

I have no idea but mine is 11/2-11/3 shipping and theirs is 11/3-11/10 so I guess they got it right at the cut off.

 

[RickNY]

If I had to guess, the 11/2-11/3 orders are based on the number of phones Apple committed to TMO at launch, and the availability beyond that is somewhat of a best effort so TMO doesn’t yet have a firm commitment from Apple yet to nail down a specific day.

What are your dates?

11/2-11/3

 

[StaceyMJ86]

11/2-11/3

Mine is the same. I’m hoping we get them either on launch or the week after.

Did anyone got charge with the $20 fee by calling the rep to order their iPhone X? The reason I called them is because I can't go online and order it.

 

[Naynay1316]

I never did a preorder so we will see. I always got it after pret

No and you shouldn’t have been charged that. Talk to t-force on twitter and see if they can help you out.

What’s a partial preorder

 

[RickNY]

So, this is a little strange.. I was on the UPS site seeing if by chance I could track by reference number (I couldnt).
While I was there, I plugged in the tracking number from the iPhone 8 I ordered last month for the other line on my account (We received it on 9/22)

Notice the scheduled delivery..

Anyone finish stranger things?

Finished through ep 5 with the girlfriend tonight, so we’re getting there!

I did and reached out to Tforce and they credited my account $20.

DP: I phoned the Business Accounts line at 00:00 pre-order day. My account has not reached the 3 year mark. They wanted $609 down + $14/month for JOD. Have the $429 + $24/month in writing. Rep said she couldn't match.

Interesting data point. T-Mobile app now shows 'UPS' on my order status but no tracking number. Anyone else?

The preorder I did earlier today also says UPS on it. Were you able to find out what it meant?

Ive had a biz account for a year and my dp was $429 + tax on jump for a 256gb.

For people who haven't filled in their data in our survey, but would like to share and view:

Would be nice to get as much data as possible ;-)

 

[eckono]

I ordered through T-Mobile and Apple. Both delivery dates expected to be Nov. 3. Would be nice to get an early delivery for once from apple. Like a day before launch day, but it could be worse.

 

[Aecarrillo981]

Any one have any other shipment dates from the tmobile store i preordered 64 gb silver on tmobile at 12:30 pdt and it shows 11/2-11/3

That’s weird. WTF is running? This is my first year ordering an iPhone on TMobile. Sorry if this is a redundant question.

I have no idea myself. Probably the step just before "preparing to ship"?

Makes sense I guess. I’m waiting for movement myself as well. Excited like everyone else!

It just looks like yet another bug in T-Mobile's IT systems to me. Their order tracking has been awful. Every other time I go to track my phone it says something different (oscillates between 'no date estimate' and '11/2-11/3', says 'UPS' sometimes but not others, shows my $ total sometimes but not others). 'Running' is not an order status I've ever seen at TMo or anywhere. I swear that T-Mobile's IT people are the rejects from the companies that run the crappy IT help desks at big companies. Worst of the worst.
