Never had an out for delivery. Not had an email. But UPS just dropped off my 7+
Nice! Just curious what your tracking information said before that? The last update I have is a 'Departure Scan' (in my current city). So maybe I should still hold out hope?
 
I'm in Houston too. It says Mon delivery but I'm not sure if I can just drive to the CC and pick it up even though the CC is closed on Sat.

Mine didn't update in UPS that it was out for delivery, but both my phones were just delivered. Didn't make it to my local UPS until 7:45 this morning.

My phone is 0.9 miles from me and I have to wait until Monday. The customer center is closed today. Oh well

UPS tried to deliver it an hour ago. I MISSED IT BY ONE HOUR. I had no idea it would come today so I didn't put the notice on the door. Rescheduled for Monday, but I'm on the phone with UPS now trying to see if I can hunt it down or something! :(
 
Ups just tried to deliver my phone, I'm not home because all of the tracking information said Monday. Would have been a pleasant surprise but isn't this the whole point of tracking information? So that you can plan to be available? I could have even pre signed for it! Smfh. There wasn't even an out for delivery status!
 
If you got the email from Apple stating today delivery, you most likely are golden. Keep refreshing the tracking. Good luck!

I got the email from Apple saying Saturday delivery, but also got a text from UPS saying my delivery date was rescheduled to 9/26/2016. When I look at the website, for scheduled delivery it days "delivery information is not available at this time. Please check back later."

But my phone is sitting in Seattle, a little over 3 hours away, and hasn't moved in over an hour. I think it's coming Monday.
 
Didn't get the email from Apple last night, only one from UPS saying my updated delivery is Monday, which is the original estimate from Apple. Was very happy the phone could make it on time after all the delays. Woke up in the morning and checked the UPS app as a routine and couldn't believe my eyes, it's out for delivery! What a great way to start the weekend!

Well the questions can be laid to rest as well...

Having Apple upgrade your shipping to expedited/Next Day doesn't do a thing.

My Apple says next day, yet the phone is sitting in the Houston hub and won't be delivered until Monday. Meanwhile, others have posted from Houston that their phone has since gone to out for delivery.

Actually I'm not sure. I did the same thing and mine was showing Monday all along and they just put mine out for delivery. I did request expedited shipping. Frankly I think everyone in Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones just need to hold out for a bit. When mine got to the local sort facility, it took about an hour and a half for it to go out for delivery.

Here's my full tracking:

I love how everyone that lives far as **** away from Louisville is getting their phones and I live 3 hours from Louisville and I haven't had an update since the Louisville import scan. I was one of the few that got the Apple email saying delivery date is today. This is ****ing ********. Anyone else not seeing an update that got the email ?
 
Last scan said destination scan before it was delivered
Cool, thanks for your info!

Just to add: I just spoke with a UPS representative. She told me that as long as you see a 'Destination Scan' before 10am it's likely that it will be delivered today. Otherwise it'll be Monday.

As a side note, she also said that Apple restricts where these devices can be deferred to. I have a UPS Store that's like 2 miles from me but she said that Apple typically only allows these to be diverted to the main shipping hubs in cities. So while the online tool may say you can have it available for pickup at any UPS location, it's likely you actually can't. (For me, that means I'd have to drive about an hour round trip. And the distribution center is not open for pickups on the weekends.)

Yea, that's kinda my point though. There is no rhyme or reason as to who is getting it today versus Monday.

I paid for expedited apple shipping and have 'Next Day' showing on my apple order page. My phone is sitting in Houston, yet I have a scheduled delivery date from them as Monday.

It's great you got it today, but I think it's more luck of the draw and not the expedited shipping we upgraded to.
 
743 here. My iphone is at the UPS hub. It got here earlier this morning, and I went to pick it up but was told it wasn't taken off the trailer yet, and I'd have to wait until Monday. I guess that's that.
