I spoke to the UPS staff who "specializes in Apple" and they advised me to do the same thing. AT&T 64gb Silver. Hopefully it will really arrive tomorrow.:)

By specialize in apple, they mean they say no to EVERYTHING.

I've been on the phone for 60 minutes, whens your estimated delivery?
 
Not sure how UPS plans to do this, but my package is at

Arrival Scan: ZhengZhou, China. I live in NC (East Coast) and have a delivery date of Wednesday.

Considering that the package hasn't even left China, I don't see how UPS plans to get that package from China, to Alaska, to Kentucky, to NC by Wednesday...

Hopefully it already departed but was never scanned.... Who knows?

You're no different than those of us there yesterday with a delivery date of Tuesday. It'll leave tomorrow morning like it did this morning. Our phones will be in KY by around midnight tonight.
 
Guys,

I changed my delivery address through apple. Ups is shipping it. Will the location change on my ups tracking info? Right now it's showing my old address still.

Thank ya

Believe me; it'll be there on the given date. That's the same route my iPad took and I received it in 2 days. My gold 32g is on the same cargo as yours with a Wednesday delivery date to central Illinois.
 
Yup :( Ordered at 3:02 and still preparing to ship. 32gb gold T-Mobile.

You are not alone! Order was acknowledged at 3:10 am EDT for space grey 32 Verizon. Still preparing to ship. Bummed that folks are expecting deliveries tomorrow and Wednesday while ours may not leave China until next week. :(
 
Great! People are texting me now.

I swear, UPS must absolutely HATE this time of year. They must get flooded with calls from all the Trackaholics who keep demanding to know current GPS coordinates of their device, the names of the flight crew, the air pressure in the tires on the landing gear, and current maintenance records of the plane that their specific iPhone is flying in to make sure all is on the up and up.

I doubt any other group of people who aren't even direct customers in these transactions, have ever scrutinized their operations so thoroughly.

It was scanned but UPS / apple update systems in batches. Even in today's fast PC era, 9 million database records takes time and they will get to it just it does not always happen instantaneously. At least to the consumer user interface. I'm sure the folks in Cupertino and Lousiville/Memphis know where you stuff is in real time.
 
My order is still sitting at Preparing for Shipment. Silver 32gb AT&T ordered at 12:05. Looks like I am not alone.

Now to wait for the arrival scan on tracking to be 100% sure that's the plane the phones were on...
 
The pilots deserve a cookie after getting their in one piece. Now only 2 more legs to go but I think FAA requires a new crew.

Oh man, now we have to figure out where the crew came from, what time they arrived, if try had enough crew rest, and if they had a nice hotel last night!

Are you telling me you don't have this down yet? I heard the guys over at the android forums know what type of toilet paper the pilots are using. Get it together folks!

I'm pretty sure that's where they are. Mines scanned there too. I think they'll leave in the morning for a quick break to Korea like this mornings group and then head off to Alaska for fuel then continue to Louisville.

But it seemed everyone's was updated 5-7 am or so EST. Pretty sure they phones marked in China are still there and will repeat the pattern of today's shipment. You disagree?

Great! People are texting me now.

Haha I'm tempted to join them. No one here has 5s they're getting excited about so that'd make one person to talk to about it!

You may have changed it too late. I also changed my shipping address and the UPS page correctly reflects that.

I'm surprised people don't get pissed at me for mine shipping first, being I had a, gasp, 12:18/3:18 preorder.
