Is anyone else still without an estimated delivery time? Under the billing page, they charged my card on the 17th and it doesn't even specify that the order is pending. I got nothing under FedEx but "(master)" with no other information.

I too was charged on the 17th for my silver pro 256 but nothing since. My fedex app shows nothing as well.. So your fedex account is showing "master"? Pretty sure people who had that showing had theirs ship shortly after didn't they? In the xfinity app under billing does your order show?

Joining this thread as a late bloomer. 😂 I had made several order attempts since 9/21. Finally was able to order with order confirmation email 9/24. Estimated ship date 10/14 .
I just received the "master" tab pop up in fedex app. It says in transit. From my research, I feel that master in transit is when they are receiving the iphones in bulk at the fort worth location. After broken down into individual orders that's when we receive a notification "label has been created" with delivery date. I will know if I'm accurate tomorrow.

Yeah the order is there but nothing regarding shipping, looks like a lot of people are getting theirs on the 30th so fingers crossed I get a delivery date tomorrow.

Omg, I can feel my anxiety about to explode lol. I'm hoping for a delivery date tomorrow. Researching on this forum clicking on every link provided lol. I came across that one user input that a plane was leaving out at 3:46am. That's when another user commented that Fedex created them a later earlier that morning at 3:46am. So its two planes leaving out to their main hubs in Indianapolis and Memphis tonight before 11pm. Lets hope!! I feel like once you see "master" your delivery date going to become available to see in 24-48 hrs.

Same here, it’s been awful being completely in the dark about the delivery window but hopefully it comes to an end soon. Although I have seen that master thing on FedEx for at least 3-4 days now.

Omg I told myself 24-48 hrs and have literally made it up in my head. lol. I guess here's to hoping. I did receive oct 14 in my blue box unfortunately. So, I'm really grasping at straws. haha

Finally got my esim to work after going through 5 reps this morning. Also how do we get our phones to show up as protected with apple care when we use the xfinity protection plan? It says that you’re supposed to have apple care

I have a silver Pro 128 GB on order that isn't expected until 10/28. I don't see any charge on my credit card, but I see (master) in my FedEx account.

Hmm at least it seems Oct 28 orders might come early. Weird how you don’t have a charge but have the master thing and I have a charge and nothing on my FedEx account. Then again my wife’s 14pro that already arrived never had a master thing(at least I didn’t look and see it before the label was created). My estimated arrival is also Oct 28

Does anyone who ordered one phone see that master thing?
I actually have that with one phone but received a delivery date for oct 14 in my email. They have already charged me. (I used a credit card) My bf received a delivery date of 10/07 but he received his 09/24. We didn't create a FedEx manager until reading this forum. Haha. Which was yesterday morning when I seen that master was pending ship date and in transit. Whatever that means lol.

Ordered an iPhone 14 Pro Max in purple on 9/16, received an estimated availability date of 10/7. No news, no updates, no tracking as of today. I'll keep you all informed if anything changes or I receive it early or late.

I do see the Master thing in my FedEx manager.

From what I'm reading online, the master thing seems to be tracking the "bulk" shipment of phones, and within that shipment is a tracking number that's heading to our addresses, hence the "master" name. Not a hundred percent sure though.

I received shipping notification from FedEx that my phone is on its way. My order was originally expected 10/28. I haven't heard from Xfinity nor do I see a charge on my credit card. So it does seem that if you see master in your FedEx account, you should receive it soon, even if you haven't heard from Xfinity.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Basically just waiting for them to get to my phone and scan it I guess. I have an estimated due date for 10/14.

There's a new offer on Xfinity Rewards running through tomorrow for up to $300 VISA gift card with the purchase of a phone (YMMV), and apparently it stacks with the iPhone promo. Not sure if it applies to orders not yet delivered, but it might be worth it to try to cancel and re-order if you can.
