Is there a way to check FED EX for a tracking reference? Do you ever order just regular stuff from Apple they use FED EX Too???
 
My delivery date changed from 9/26-10/3 to 9/23-9/30 and is now in PFS status. Here's hoping for tracking tomorrow.

U could use ur order number minus the last two numbers. But,  normally uses UPS but will use FedEx as well.

Based on wife's order, for UPS you use you billing info phone number as reference, the order number didn't work this year for me. For fedex its usually order number minus last two digits.

Who knows if this will apply to anyone here, but with past pre-orders I have seen my stuff go from preparing for shipment in the afternoon, then an alert at 2am from the Apple Store app telling me it's been shipped, to having ups drop it off that morning.

I've found something!!!!
http://flightaware.com/live/airport/KSDF/scheduled?;offset=0;order=filed_departuretime;sort=ASC

This is a list of the flights leaving Louisville. There is a TON of UPS flights leaving Louisville between 2:40am and 5am EDT!!!!

My Jet Black Plus moved to preparing to ship earlier today and my location (buffalo) is on this list! Which goes back to my earlier theory that the reason preparing to ship notifications weren't going in email order is because they were going by location!!! THERE IS HOPE!!!

Please take a look at the list (there is multiple pages) and see if your AirPort is on it. Then post back on the forum if it is or isn't and weather or not your phone is preparing to ship!!!

This happened to many last year.. So waking up tomorrow is the last glimmer of hope. But zero hope for JetBlack Plus

My jet black 7+ 256gb was also moved to preparing for shipment today and my airport (Oakland) is also on the list. Crossing my fingers that you're onto something!

I agree this has happened before, but usually you can still track by reference.

Because Apple moved up the release date by one week to try to capitalize on samsung's mess.
I really wish people would stop saying this, there is no proof that they did any such thing and honestly why would it matter? do you really think apple needed Note 7 issues to drive success of the 7?

Toronto's on there for 4:34 AM departure... so there's a chance. Wishful thinking & delusional me, likes that chance, no matter how slim it is. Then again I'm still processing, no CC charge. If it somehow arrives tomorrow... it will be a miracle. :(

My order is still sitting at September23- October 3. 3 days is 3 days. I feel like it won't make a difference being bumped up. I'm just hoping to have my phone sometime next week!! I can't wait another full weekend.
