Not that there should be any issues, but I wonder how they keep these boxes w/o plastic wrap water-tight?

I've gotten plenty of packages half soaked, I assume it happens between the depot/truck/house.

Same on how they do the accessory boxes but with paper
 
If-when the site actually loaded on that thing...(before blowing up, *battery was really feeling hot as this page was loading) - Yeah I think I would have finished the pre-order process in 3 hours?? 😂

My 12 ProMax Apple Store app for the pre-order was a bit sluggish this year.
Just heavy traffic at 8am ET I assume.
I was refreshing the screen on my MBP frantically. The system eventually allowed me to order at 3mins past the hour. I was having anxiety attacks 🤣 I'll be emailing Mr Cook about that as well. 🤣😂
 
Once it lands in Louisville, KY. It will stay there till Thursday, and then you'll get import scan and then overnight it to Orlando.

It's going to be mildly irritating to watch it sit in Louisville for days. I'm not too far from there which means I'll be thinking "I could just go pick it up!" Even though I really can't. 😩
 
Also for anyone curious since I just got my tracking info I can see that if left ZhengZhou at 4:20PM 09-19 I assume that’s local time? But for some reason it shows arrived at ZhengZhou facility at 4:50PM so maybe when boarding planeu
I am getting it shipped to my office. I only get the last 4 digits. Village drapes also gives me the same thing. It sometimes comes to MyChoice, but not this time

Strange Village Drapes somehow gave me full tracking info when UPS website didn’t.
 
I don't think this is true. The phones that are unlocked do not come with a physical card, but I bet all others do come with a physical SIM card.
Nope...those of us who purchased the AT&T and Verizon models got a note during the order process explaining that the phones will not ship with a physical sim this year, and will be eSIM only upon delivery.
 
Here is me last year…

That’s where most, if not all of us 4:50 are at. It just means it left one facility to another. When you get the next departure from ZZ that will mean it’s on the move.

Maybe a customs scan of some sort as well.
 
What do you do for work? I work from home and have my iMac set up beside my work rig, so I can be browsing the forums while I'm working.
Law Enforcement. It’s too bad I’m not being productive today and too busy worrying about this forum 😂
