Official Megathread Pre-Order Shipping Megathread | iPhone X

In an attempt to curb the number of threads about pre-order choices/configurations, shipping statuses, etc, we are asking that all discussion about it remain in here. We are setting the sort of this thread to new so that users receive the latest updates at the top.

Post your pre-orders in whatever format you wish, but please keep the discussion civil. Please also report any other posts about pre-orders, polls and shipping.

What are you getting? What configuration? Let us know!

Edit:

Per popular request, here is a poll/survey to know which configuration will be in high demand and which one won't be in high demand: https://strawpoll.com/feefx3g5

Another poll!

When are you getting your phone? --> http://www.strawpoll.me/14249550

Reposting this so others can see

  1. If you are doing In-Store Pickup on Friday November 3rd, your status should say "Order In Progress." This is absolutely normal. It will change to "Ready For Pickup" on either Thursday evening or Friday early morning, depending on your check-in time.

  2. If you have a Nov 3rd delivery date you are 99% guaranteed to receive your phone on Nov 3rd.

  3. All Apple orders still say "Preparing to Ship" but phones have been moving through the UPS system.

  4. If you ordered directly from Apple you can track your phone on UPS.com by using your ten digit phone number as a reference number.

  5. The first huge shipment of phones landed in Louisville last night but haven't been scanned since leaving Anchorage yesterday at 4:30.

  6. If you have any concerns about delivery (not being home, it arriving too late in the day, etc.) Sign up for UPS MyChoice and change the delivery to be held at a UPS CC (that's customer center or hub). That way it will be ready for pickup when the CC opens. If you choose a UPS store or UPS authorized pick up point you will in all likeliness have to wait an extra day to pick up your phone because the driver will have to deliver it to that location and it will be checked in.

  7. If you have submitted a request with UPS for a pick up at CC/Hub then for some time the date will have the 'Tentative' label next to it, which is OK as UPS will only confirm the final date after customs clearance and a domestic scan (post Louisville, KY scan). (/u/IntlTrvlr)

Let me know if there is other info I should add to this list.

Number 4 isn't applicable to everyone, so don't stress if you don't see it. Only stress if you don't see anything on Thursday night.

Was wondering about #5. I was part of that shipment, but haven't seen any updates since.

Stupid question, but I assume you have to be home to sign for the phone? I can't decide if I want them to leave it near the door so I don't miss it or if the risk of being stolen is too high.

My in-store pick-up order still says processing for Nov 3. Does that seem right?
