In my experience they will ship over the weekend and you will be able t track it boy reference number on UPS. Apple wont update their website until the phone hits the United States if that is where you live. I always find it on UPS before Apple ever says it shipped.
I feel like last year some of those extended shipping dates were not as bad as they quoted at time of ordering? Hopefully that is the case this year. Underpromise, overdeliver 😉
I’ve had it not show up on my card for a few days. I wouldn’t worry
Still in process. I ordered 8.02 ( because 8.01 was blocked ). Around 2 pm they charged me. 😅. So we have to wait next step. Maybe in the weekend
Yes that also happens but it is so much nicer to get on that opening Friday any other day and I have all kinds of stuff to do (and am retired to boot LOL). The next week is bad for me if it comes say a week later after opening day (October 1st). I assume my wife can be here and get it on October 1 if that happens I will not be home. I hate to say it but this time I would rather it sticks to the first part of that date range especially 7 and 8 (Thursday and Friday) She will have to wait again after lunch on 6th as i have to pick up grandson at school Opening day just has so many less complications for me LOL
I know. I’m in the same both. But one week is nothing to compare customers have to wait untill end of October 🙏😅
Thank you for the Quick answer. may I ask did you get a new phone and if so which one? do you recommend any cases/ screen protectors I know the phone has not come out yet but I heard that the 13 and 12 cases are going to be basically the same in design?
Because for me the closest stores are over 100 miles away so delivery is my only option (my situation anyway)
Friday 24th the shops will get only few iPhone. ( usually 10 pieces) you should woke up early and go in line 3/4 hours before shop open ( I did one time ) 😀
I also did in store pickup. I have a “pending” charge from this morning’s purchase.
The first post of this thread is a wiki post, you might be able to edit it and add this infoI saved this from years ago. I wish I could find the original post(s)/author(s). I think all these links are still good. They were last year-
Once our orders move to processing we should start seeing some movement to 'preparing for shipment' over the weekend.
Once this happens you should be able to get details on your phone and let the tracking begin!
Here are some notes to help track orders:
If your phone status has changed to "Shipped", you can view the invoice on the Apple site.
That invoice has the serial number on it.
Go to Apple.com, then pick the ORDERS page (the little "shopping bag" icon at the far right on the home page... go to your orders page). Now, log in, and find your iPhone order... and click on Print All Invoices to see your shiny new iPhone serial number.
You can look up the week of manufacture and factory here, using the serial number:
or
SNDeep.info | Check IMEI iPhone or Serial number information
Enter the serial number or phone IMEI number and find out detailed information, specifications and check it in a database of lost or stolen phones.sndeep.info
Links for tracking:
Tracking | UPS - United States
Track one or multiple packages with UPS Tracking, use your tracking number to track the status of your package.www.ups.com
Another way to find it, enter your phone number + zip:
If your phone number isn’t working for UPS tracking, use your order number but subtract the last two numbers/letters. Say your order number is: W123456789, you'd put in: W1234567 - make sure to use the tracking by reference feature.
Flight info:
Live United Parcel Service Flight Status - FlightAware
United Parcel Service Flight Status (with flight tracker and live maps) -- view all flights or track any United Parcel Service flightflightaware.com
When you see the time that your flight leaves China (make sure that the UPS or FedEx info is showing it per China time, or do the math), and you can usually narrow it down
For those of you that are not familiar with doing this here's how you can check your order.
Go to UPS's website. Go to tracking. Go to track by reference number. Put the cell phone number associated with your order in as the reference number. Put your ZIP Code. Put your country. Hit track package button. If your phone has shipped it'll come up on UPS's website.
