Just chiming in with an update (or lack of...)

Ordered 128GB JB 7+ for Verizon via Apple Store App (Full Payment) (Apple Pay)
XX:12 email order confirmation
9/26 - 10/3 estimated delivery date (this hasn't changed)
I'm in the US (Ohio)

My card was charged as well (9/15 @ approx. 3p EDT)
Apple says preparing for shipment (9/15 @ approx. 3:15p EDT)
Nothing in UPS tracking (as of 9/17 @ approx. 7:45a EDT)
Nothing in Apple Support Profile (as of 9/17 @ approx. 7:45a EDT)
I'm in the same boat. Ordered 128 JB 7+
T-Mob.
 
I got a shipped email from Apple overnight. Appeared in support profile and UPS shows its in HK for a 9/19 delivery.
JB Plus 256 AT&T IUP (new), Conf: 3:06, Orig ETA: 9/26-10/3, PFS: 9/15 New ETA: 9/23-9/30, Shipped email: 9/17 2:35 AM

To be clear, prior to this happening overnight friday night/sat morning, I was unable to track on UPS by reference etc.

Next UPS flight out of HK is to Alaska at 2:35AM HK Time which is 2:35 PM EDT on Sat. Hoping to see a departure scan around that time.
 
10/4 peeps it's finally happening!!!

Card was charged overnight, and I'm now Preparing for Shipment! Delivery date still showing 10/4-10/10 at this point though. But I was actually charged, not just an authorization.

Pre-order e-mail received at XX:12 for JB ip7+ 128GB AT&T via AT&T Next 12.

For all of you earlier guys, how long did it take to go from being charged and PFS to your phone showing in Support Profile and finding tracking info?
Me too!!

There are planes on the ground in Hong Kong and some still headed that way. Once loaded we will see a departure scan probably this morning. Mine is there also. When I was watching my SSSB watch last year, saw it leave China and watched the plane (on Flightaware) make a u-turn and return - mechanical difficulties. Delayed it a day.

Ugh, just worries me. It's 8:30pm there now, why hasn't it moved all day today...?
 
2:09aCST confirm ... ATT 256g... still PFS 9/26-10/3 for the last two days with cc charge two days ago. :(
 
Quick update. My JB 128GB Plus departed China yesterday morning, and as of this morning at 7:00am it had already departed Pittsburgh in route to my UPS hub about 5 minutes down the road for a nice speedy delivery Monday morning!
 
just adding that I have a pending charge on my amex now, in addition to it being PFS. still no support profile or ups...

EDIT: the charge appears to be for the tax on the phone + AppleCare (I signed up for IUP)

These are sitting on the ground probably being loaded.

This shws their arrival times from Anchorage in Hong Kong. Got there during their afternoon on Sat.
United Parcel Servi… UPS64 B744 result unknown Fri 11:35AM AKDT 02:29PM HKT Sat

Interesting. In looking at all the people who are PFS vs Shipped from the same group, it looks like all the T-mobile and a good chunk of the AT&T phones are still in PFS and the Verizons and Sprints shipped..

Maybe we'll be shipped today. A man can dream.

Have you been charged?
 
I cannot get over how fast the movement has been on this once I got charged and went PFS.

Yes, I was charged at the same time it switched to PFS.

ETA: I was in the Sept 27-Oct3 group when I ordered.

Mine just happened overnight last night. FWIW, I was in that same group (AT&T though) when I started my order, but slipped to Oct 4-10 when I was done applying for IUP.
 
Order changed to PFS oct 4th group.... Looking good people! Might get our phones Monday or Tuesday like the other batches. This is the exact reason I order from Apple I knew the shipping times were inaccurate because it happens every year. November people most likely getting theirs by next week too

I think a group 6-8 weeks out getting a phone next week is completely unrealistic and spreads a ton of false hope. Especially when there are still 9/29 delivery customers with no movement.

My 128gb JB 7+ Sprint went to PFS and charged me on Thursday.
Estimated delievery dates are still 9/26-10/3
Placed order at XX:04am and recieved confirmation email at the same time.

Since then I have seen nothing else change.
Nothing in support profile
Nothing in ups mychoice
And can't find anything in ups searching by reference...

Thanks to everyone for dashing our hopes.

Why would they mark it as preparing to ship and wait days to ship? I don't get it.

My card was charged, but no tracking. Not in support profile.
