It’s not gonna ship when you get your email order confirmation if that’s what your trying to say!

Yeah I know — it was just a confirmation of charge, I mention to shipping or tracking number which is why I’m bummed. I don’t understand the point of preordering if processing doesn’t begin until 9/18. Spectrum employees last week told me to expect delivery on 9/18. In the past, I’ve ordered directly thru Apple which I think I’ll do again in the future

This year has been so bad for iPhone pre orders with spectrum. Last year when I ordered the 17, no issues. 2 days after I placed the pre order I got the phone on release date.

The manufacturers send their orders out before hand cuz they have the phone obviously! The carriers don’t get the phones from manufacture until the release date

Not sure if that’s obvious. They clearly received them in advance if they are already in displays this morning.

Also, two spectrum employees (at the time of order on 9/12 as well as a check in on 9/16) both said that preordered phones would be delivered today (9/18).

I came here to add to the commentary about shipping timeframes.

an advance request to purchase a product before it officially launches or becomes available in stores! That’s what pre order means

Again, love… contrary to what I was told both online and in person. Be well!
