Mine still says Nov 3 delivery, but that its still "Preparing For Shipment". How is it possibly going to make it by friday?
Have you tried going to ups.com and tracking by reference using your phone number listed on the order? Also I’ve had phones leave Thursday night and arrive at my door Friday, you’ll get your phone, don’t sweat it.

Omg, not to be mean but are you reading the other posts?? Most of us still have PFS status on the Apple order page. It probably won’t change until we’re through customs stateside. Of all the preorders I’ve placed and tracked obsessively, not one has every been late. Not worried.
 
Normally when packages show up on myChoice UPS I have been able to schedule a 2 hr delivery window. For some reason I cant do that with my iPhone. Do you guys think the option will become available once it reaches KY?
wonder this as well
 
Anyone else have a 11/03 delivery date but their order still says "Preparing To Ship"?

Starting to get a little worried that mine won't get to me by the 11/03 date!

Nope. I encourage you to read the thread.

Then, head over to UPS.com.

Select "Track" to track a package.

Track by "Reference" (use your phone number if the phone was bought under your phone number. Just the 10-digit number, no spaces, dashes, etc).

You will find your info there. :)

I was about to reply about the same tech. I want to see something attached to the center of the room that beams omnidirectionally to charge everything in the room. Just read that Apple might be charging $199 for their wireless charging mat. That’s kinda crazy. Especially if it’s only available in white.
I managed to get a couple of the T513's from Choetech, but they're telling me that they discontinued that model. The advantage of it is that it's a 3-coil charger, so you can be fairly liberal about where you place your phone on it and it'll still charge.
They still have stock on aliexpress.com:

I know Walmart had them as well, but I think those were the ones that only had 5 watts of output. (strangely enough, the model number is the same - T513, so you can't easily tell the difference).
 
Seems there are at least 2 groups on here. One group tracks obsessively and panics if anything seems amiss. Another group pretends to sit back and criticizes the obsessive trackers. But no one would be here if they weren’t really interested in tracking the progress of their phone. This is really fun for me. I was up half the night because track by order # gave me the wrong tracking # so I’ve been tracking the wrong flight, took me a while to find the right one. Now I know for sure that I’m in the HK 10:51pm departure group. Had to get up at 6am to fight traffic for an hour and half for work an hour away. I don’t care, for me it’s all part of the preorder fun. Happy to report that I have refrained from calling Apple or UPS :) I’ve done this a few times and receiving the phone is exciting but I’m always sorry that this part of the journey ends.

Yes the time zones can be confusing. No worries, we’re airborne!
We’re all obsessing. But some people just keep asking questions that are asked every 20 minutes. ;-)

Dude, that was so helpful! Thanks!!! And sorry, 255+ page thread is hard to back track on ha ha! Now that I have that information, how do I track using flight aware? Appreciate the help!!!

How come when I try this it doesn't show up? Same if I do order number with last 2 digits backspaced. Order supposed to come in 11/3

And how come Apple.com just changed the status from Preparing to ship to order in progress?!?!?!
