My Verizon JB+ 256 just changed to "Preparing for Shipment" however my card has not been charged. Dates have moved from 26SEP-03OCT to 23SEP-30SEP.

Edit: forgot to mention I'm a 9/9 xx:11 email confirmation guy.

Edit 2: credit card was charged for phone and AppleCare!
Still have preparing for shipment but the pending charge dropped off my credit card for both the phone and AppleCare....I don't like that

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!!!





Sin City is here coming in at 4A. And I'll take any gimmer of hope but how can I backtrack to see where the package originated from? Some folks (albeit I think JB's are golden children) are tracking from the FoxConn factory in ZhengZhou. How come we couldn't?? How about appleplex maybe some of our phones are overnighting from ca?

Sounds really nice you got moved up.

What was your original estimated delivery window? Also what model did you order, which carrier through Apple and what time was your order confirmed?
 
I noticed this too! My hope is drying up but I still have. I like FEDEX here in Miami better than UPS though .. idk about you lol
Me too usually ups throws the package and runs lol...im in a gated community so idk if they dont have to knock or get signature bc of that lol

I'm still processing and have a date of oct 4 - oct 10, but I do see a flight coming into GSP early morning.. I wish mine was on there, but I'm doubting it!
 
If I don't get my phone tomorrow it will be first time since the original that I haven't received or waited in line on launch day. Damnnn. This is gonna be weird.
 
Worldport operates nightly with about 90 flights in and about 100 flights out. It increases near Thanksgiving and Christmas. Tonight is just another night for them and there are no special flights for iPhones. I work there 3 nights a week.

This guy knows whats up. You guys can really churn packages out of there.

In my past experience, all apple products have been delivered to me by Fedex. I hope that continues.
I ordered from AT&T last year, got it late and they used UPS.. not making that mistake again. As an employee got to admit AT&T preorders suck XD

I was originally in the 26-3rd group and Apple did not expedite my shipping. I got the 128 GB AT&T from Apple. My email came in at 3:04am.
