IPhone 6 Shipping Methods

This is more of a beef with Apple about their shipping practices for new releases than anything else. I have 3 iPhone 6 Plus being delivered to my address. All were pre-ordered as soon as we were able to get into the system. My daughters managed to get their orders in for a 19th delivery. I was unfortunate enough to not be able to get into the system before shipments moved into the 7-10 day range. I would think that when ordering a roughly $1000 phone Apple would use the same shipping method no matter when you got your order placed. This is absolutely not the case. One of my daughters phones shipped from TN while the other shipped from Foxconn. The Foxconn shipment was via UPS Worldwide Express Saver and was only shipped on the 17th but will be delivered today, the 19th. My phone shipped today from Foxconn but imagine my surprise when I discovered it won't be here until Thursday of next week. It seems that if you didn't make the 19th delivery you get relegated to UPS Worldwide Expedited. What the **** Apple? You really think the rest of us won't mind the phone being in transit a few extra days?

Well, I have not ever heard of foxconn. That being said, I ordered my + as soon as I could as well and its coming (from ATT) the first week in October. So, if you get most of yours today I say that's great. Just relax and roll with it. They will arrive.
Foxconn is the company in China who builds the device for Apple.

  • Does anyones shipping method say "holiday shipping"?

    I still have a delivery date of 9/21 but now my shipping method says holiday shipping...just checking to see if everybodies is like this that is getting them on 9/21?  Thanks!  Oh yeah, one more thing...do they use strictly UPS or Fedex or a mixture of all shipping companies?

    If anyone would like to track their iPhone, I've found a way to do it through UPS. Even though my iPhone still says "preparing for shipment" on the apple website, I found out that it is currently in Kentucky and has already been shipped.
    If you go to the UPS website and create an account.
    Then go to "tracking". Then choose the "track by reference" option.
    Where it says "Shipment Reference" enter the telephone number associated with the shipment. Might not necessarily be the phone number on the iPhone, might be the number associated with the billing address. Then select the destination country and the destination zip code.
    You should be able to see if your iPhone is in transit!

  • Update Received on Iphone Shipping

    Good Morning:  Just wanted to pass on the information I received this morning.  Sure this may not help some however someone posted a telephone number to call if you really wanted to know the status of your order.  That number is 866-388-7390 and it is for Internet Orders as well as returns. 
    I expressed my concerns with Shelly the rep who took my call when I contacted this number and explained that I was advised that I should receive a confirmation Tuesday etc.
    She was very polite as was I, and explained to me that the deliver by date, is the DATE that the device is to be delivered to the WAREHOUSE.  Once it has been delivered to the warehouse, whatever shipping method was selected will be honored.  In my case, I have a two day shipping method, and shipping does not occur on the weekend therefore I wont receive my device until Tuesday or Wednesday of next week at the latest. 
    If this is the case, I am okay with that but a little disappointed as the advertisement for preorders as appearing at your doorstep on the 19th isn't exactly accurate.  What doesn't make sense to me is that some people have received shipping confirmations with delivery dates to their physical location for the 19th but instead of arguing about it, I simply accepted it for early next week and am okay with that. 
    In any event, this does explain why I dont have a shipping date/tracking because if the delivery by date to the warehouse is the 19th and today is Tuesday really this information would not be required until Friday.  She also mentioned that the tracking/shipping data is also dependent upon where you are located.  I am on the east coast, in south carolina and have noticed several other customers with the same location code as me 1456901 as experiencing the same issues.
    For the sake of my sanity I am going to enjoy the next few days in Iphone 6 plus silence and reconvene this FRIDAY should I not have any data.  I will say that every single person that I have spoken to has confirmed the 19th of September based upon my order time. 
    Stay TUNED.....grrrr (okay had to get that out, now I am relaxing)

    we must have talked to the same rep.  Also in South Carolina and have the same order location.  Received my deliver by date as 10/14 on my email confirmation and i know for a fact i was in and out of the Verizon site by 3:04am.(EST.) the rep had said that i will not receive my order status till the 19th.  I didn't ask if i would receive it that day or not, but like other people i agree Verizon or Apple in that matter should have done a little more prep work.  You released a Iphone with a bigger screen, what do they expect? Anyway to get off that topic (other threads for that) just wanted to add to the conversation that I as well have the dreaded "not available at this time" also there is a way with Fedex to search by reference, using you order number and location number (Order#_Location#) (i might have reversed those, sorry) so if you don't have a tracking number yet, at least you can check to see that.  But yes i agree with everyone on this board, it sucks, Verizon and apple messed up, and oh FYI if you pre-ordered you cant cancel your pre-order, so you cant go to the store on the 19th to get a new phone, only way to get around that is to open another line.... ooooohhhhh the agony...

  • Problem defaulting shipping method in Sales Order form

    Hi,
    I need to defaulting shipping method based on subinventory code value.
    e.g :
    Subinventory -- Shipping Method
    N100 -> HN1
    N120 -> HN2
    I try to use form personalization on when-validate-record of line block, but never updated.
    If i prompt the message, it will display the updated value but after that it will display the old value again.
    I shifting the code to workflow at the time its booked and its working. But problem is, the user can still change the subinv after booked which is outside the workflow already.
    Appreciate if anyone can have solution for this.
    TIA,
    Fendy

    For defaulting fields on sales orders, instead of personalizations or workflow changes,check if you can use Oracle's defaulting rule functionality. It is meant for such requirements. It is much more powerful and kicks in every time order is created (either from screen or via order import).
    OM Superuser > setups > rules > defaulting rules
    Look at JohnnyP's post in Selecting the Subinventory for orders shipped from the LAO warehouse for details on how to do that.
    Hope this helps,

  • Sales Order to Drop Ship Purchase Order -- Carry Over Ship Method?

    Hi everyone,
         When I create a sales order in B1 using the 99 warehouse, it automatically generates the purchase order once the transaction is billed/invoiced.
    This purchase order does not have the same shipping method as the sales order. I have worked around this in Crystal Reports, but is there a way to have SAP carry over the ship method?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hi Chris,
    This may only be done through SDK. There is no standard function to achieve it.
    Thanks,

  • How soon did your iPhone ship?

    Hi,
    For those of you who ordered the new iPhone (5) during the "available 3-4 weeks" how long after you've place the order did your iPhone ship?
    Reason I'm asking this is because I've read from numerous (trusted) sources that the "big three" in the US have lowered their waiting times to one week or less yet the Apple Online Store still states 3 to 4 weeks.

    I have the same issue. Ordered it two and a half weeks ago, and even though the expected ship dates have changed from 3-4 weeks then 2-3 weeks and now 2 weeks, my date still shows the original ship dates of Nov. 30-Dec. 6
    I can walk into the AT&T store right now and pick one up as they told me they have a few in stock. This is agrrivating. I keep waiting for the email to tell me it has finally shipped. I'm so anxious I check it several times a day! LOL.

  • How to capture ship method and freight account in customer master and order

    Hello
    In the customer master, I would like to maintain fields like freight vendor, freight account no and preferred ship method (Like Fedex Ground, UPS next day, etc), and have them copy over to the sales order. I know we can define freight vendor in partner function, but I do not see anything in the shipping view of the customer master similar to this. We are not using the transportation module, and are on ECC 6.0.
    Is my only option to define these in the text fields or under additional data of customer master and have text determination carry this over?
    Im curious as to how other companies have configured this, any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards
    Ken
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Ken,
    You may use the reserve fields of the customer master at general data or sales area data.
    In customer master data, choose menu: Extras --> Additional data
    To use a reserve field (attribute 1) of the customer master proceed as follows:
    1. Change the short descriptions of the data elements KATR1 by using the SAP enhancement and activate the data element.
    2. Maintain the entity tables TVK1 with the values.
       "01" Fedex Ground
       "02" UPS next day
       etc.
    3. Use the same procedure for the remaining reserve fields KATR2-KATR9.
    Then continue with enhancement of copying the customer master fields into the sales document either VBAK, VBAP, or VBKD.
    Regards,
    Gumanti

  • Ship Method not populating in SBO

    All of a sudden, I have no Ship Methods populating in SAP from Web tools.
    Has anyone experienced this and know how to fix it?
    What table and column dictates who is a B2B or B2C customer?
    Thanks,
    Craig Spehar
    Edited by: Craig Spehar on Oct 6, 2008 6:27 PM

    Hi Craig,
    First, double check that the Ship Methods checkbox on the settings page in the synch manager is checked.
    If that doesn't do it, try manually requeuing your ship methods.
    You can do this by logging into B1 and doing a meaningless edit on shipping types (under the admin->setup->inventory menu).  Just add a letter to the shipping type, save, correct it and save again.  That will queue the ship method.  Do this for all of your ship methods.
    As for account type, this is in the UsersAccount.AccountType field.
    B=B2B
    C=B2C
    I=Internal

  • How can i buy iPhone shipping to Russia?

    how can i buy iPhone shipping to Russia?

    None of the Apple online stores ship overseas, they only ship within their own countries, so you will either need to wait until the iPhone 5 is released in Russi, or you will need to find another store that will ship to Russia.

  • How to have specific shipping method for only international customers?

    In the old BC we had it set up with individual shipping methods Based on a shipping mentod flat for AU/NZ  and another All other countries not AU?NZ.
    In tests it worked because of the desination shipping address specified a country. (at least that appeared to be the case )
    This seemes to have changed ( when ? ) and now checkout only displays the Australian shipping options to the "other countries customers"  who should only see the shipping option of International (all countries not au and NZ).
    Yes - There are issues with the dashboard shipping method selector, but we do have the shipping methods configured correctly.
    We don't have separate currency prices for other countries or language pages etc, just simply 1 site selling in $AU priced products, but needs to have an international shipping option appear at checkout to those customer countries listing in the international shipping method list, and not see the AU shipping method.
    Currently all AU ? NZ customers see correct AU shipping choices at checkout
    Other countries customers don't see the international shipping choice at checkout, but do see the AU / NZ shipping displayed
    Any one else had this issue? Advise appreciated, not sure how to get this functional for international customers checkout, thanks

  • Why does the iPhone ship from China?

    I've been reading many people's posts about their iPhone shipping from China. Mine is shipping from Kentucky. Apple is an American company, so how does that work?

    Apple uses subcontracted factories (such as Foxconn) in China to manufacture the products. I don't think it pays "China" anything per se.

  • IPhone shipped then not???

    I received an email that my iPhone shipped. The email included a fedex tracking number: <Tracking number removed for privacy per the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service.>
    Today I received the following email:
    Important information about your iPhone 5 order.
    Congratulations and thank you for your iPhone 5 order. We
    know you are anxiously awaiting the arrival of your new device.
    Due to unprecedented popularity, we regret to inform you
    that your iPhone 5 was not shipped as scheduled on October 26, 2012. You will
    receive a shipping confirmation email that will include your final shipping
    date.
    How can that be? I get a tracking number then they say it wasn't shipped?

  • External Location Ship Method and Transit Time

    Hi
    I have got scenario -
    1: Primary Suppliers are in APAC region.
    2: They send the units to a site for consolidation
    3: Based on the receiving site, east coast or west coast the lead time is different
    4: If I cannot place orders to these suppliers then I can place order with local supplier and then the lead time is different
    Now I have modeler following -
    1: The lead time between supplier and consolidation site is in the Processing LT at ASL Level
    Now the issue comes in replicating the lead time between consolidation site and the receiving site.
    I can put this in Post Processing LT. But when I want to evaluate the local supplier, then the post processing LT kicks in which makes it even longer total time for local suppliers.
    I am evaluating to capture this in shipping method.
    But I am not finding any setup or document where I can setup Shipping Method and Lead Time between Supplier Site and Inventory Organization.
    I setup a location in inventory but this location is not appearing in the Inter-Company Transit Times. I am trying with 'Extenal Location' as source.
    Can you please help me on this?
    Regards

    Hi ,
    Please try using Plant and Ship To combination, I saw it does not work with Route and shipping point.

  • AutoCreate Trip & Default Ship Method

    Hi,
    While processing Sales Order, in ShippingTransactions form, is there any option where the trips will get created automatically instead of going to Actions--> AutoCreate Trip. If so let me know.
    And Once Trip is created, the Ship Method is not defaulted automatically from the sales order line. Can anyone let me know how we can get this.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Sravan.

    Maggie,
    For 1 - DHL is the wrong value so I changed it and even though shipping method is active it is still showing the same error.
    For 2 - I see that you are adding it to the trip, but I didn't see it added to the delivery. I didnt quite unserstand what exactly are you trying to suggest.
    Please elaborate further. If any changes you think needs to be done in the code then what they might be?
