Other "Your Shipment is on the way" email just received

[mgirard]

That’s good to hear. Is your carrier also UPS?

Yes UPS. I called them directly and package is on track for Friday delivery.

My tracking information just updated to say that it left Incheon. I assume this flight: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS97

I did a search (Google still my friend even if Alexa does spy on me) and this comes up at every iPhone launch.

When I go to the Apple store and check my status there, it shows shipped and on time. Ditto on UPS MyChoice. It’s only the email that shows “shipment on hold.” As was said before, this is to prevent early deliveries before Friday.

iPhone 4 did actually arrived a day early on its launch so I guess they learned, but I don’t see the harm.

Me too. Phone tomorrow from Verizon then watch 2-3 wks later. Although I suspect it'll be much sooner as they always give you a date much later than it actually ships.

Ugh I hope you’re right. I ordered it like immediately Lol.

I sold my original Watch the other day for $150 and I feel naked!

Spent close to 20 minutes on hold with the rep from Apple. All for nothing. She was extremely nice but had no idea about the “on hold” message. She said that it happens sometimes and that I should see an update within a few hours. If not, I could call back again.

I really don’t understand why Apple would tell people to call them if they are not willing or able to provide any information. And the rep truly had no idea what I was talking about. She had to put me on hold twice. You would think that due to the onslaught of calls they will be receiving, they would have been sent out a bulletin with what to say.

If anyone else gets a rep with more information, please share.

Same here as mine still sits in Korea as of 10:25AM EDST. Maybe they are negotiating with Mr Trumps good buddy up North for a planeload of phones. From Korea to Florida in less than 24hrs doesn't seem like it will happen but you never know with Apple's power.

"that message should be gone now. It looks like UPS put a hold so they shipments would wait until tomorrow to go out which was confusing everyone. They just took care of it though and that message should be gone.
As long as your tracking number still shows tomorrow, you are good to go!"

Yup, message is now gone. Says Arrives Fri Sep 21.

Yup, my UPS finally updated as well.

So my order was placed 6 minutes after preorders opened (3:06am EST), and it look like mine has JUST left South Korea now. But there is an odd comment in the activity. Does anyone know what this indicates?

Apple and UPS still say delivery by end of day Friday (9/21), I hope they can do it!

My order was held (or cancelled?) without notice because I changed address to local UPS store because I wouldn't be home. Got 2 emails this morning saying package is on the way, UPS says "package is on the way" but Apple.com says "CANNOT BE DELIVERED" and I should call but got NO NOTIFICATION of that. Never would have seen it had I not gone online to place a different order. Package still sitting in Korea. Now I have to deal with the phone queues to see what is going on. Not sure who I should call. Apple or UPS.

My fault for changing pickup address through MYUPS but then the shouldn't allow it. The DO NOT allow "deliver to a different address" but they DO ALLOW to pick up at another UPS location which obviously caused the problem.

I am unable to cancel the delivery change on MYUPS.

There was no problem doing that with the IPHONE X last year.

Looks like these Hold messages are gone now. I doubt it had anything to do with you changing the pickup location. Many, many people had the same message.

Same comments on mine, I wouldn't worry about it.

Looks like there are 2 UPS flights from Korea to AK:

https://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS97/history/20180920/1235Z/RKSI/PANC

Both arriving in about 1.5 hours.

Love it - your comment on Trump.

I’m doubtful it will deliver tomorrow. I’d be thrilled if it does come but from Alaska to NH and on the delivery truck in the morning would be pretty incredible. I’m now planning on Monday.
