According to sndeep my device was manufactured in week 38 (9/21 to 9/27). However, my device was released to UPS on the afternoon of 9/21 local Chinese time. So my device must have came directly off the assembly line onto a UPS truck??

They are off on the week. Week 38 is a week back. The partial week in January counts as week 1 as far as Apple is concerned. But yeah, off the production line, into QC, and then packaging, and right to UPS.
 
I ordered a 6s through Sprint. Got tracking overnight on Monday. Since then there has been no update. Just says the label has been created. Is this typucal of what folks are seeing with Sprint? Says its shipping 2 day so Im getting s bit antsy. Tell me its all gonna be ok. ;)
 
Sorry if already asked - 152 pages in this thread...

Once moved to "shipped", will I be able to modify address to a neighbor. Turns out, I can't be at home ;-(

Scroll back over the last few pages to a post with lots of links - you'll want to sort out which shipper you have (probably UPS), and then put in a request to have it held for you at the local hub. If you request delivery to a different address (like your neighbor's) it will likely delay your shipment and cost you (I think UPS charges $5 for it).

EDIT: Look at the post above this one - it has the links you'll need.
 
Just called fedex and asked about delivery and they told me specifically that no signature was required.
Yeah, AT&T doesn't seem to require a signature. Which is quite a change from when I ordered my very first cell phone from them 15 years ago. Not only did it need a signature, it had to be my signature. They wouldn't even let the apartment manager sign for it. That was annoying.
 
Monday early morning when I knew my phone had started its trip to me, I called UPS International and arranged for pickup at my local CC. Since then, my phone dropped off my Support Profile and I can't even manually add it in. Has anyone had that happen and did it work itself out once PFS is changed to Shipped hopefully later today?
 
I look here just to laugh at the worry people go through as delivery nears after launch. It's not just this year, it is after every single launch.

It's amazing how crazy people get guessing and speculating about the mysterious meaning of little things they can find when poking around a system for hints of status that are not supposed to be about order status.

Keep Calm And Don't Worry Until After Friday.
And just how old was your little brother when you destroyed his belief in Santa Claus? Seems like something you might enjoy doing.
 
UPS pilots have begun requesting departure slots from Louisville ATC. It'll be just a trickle at first, becoming a flood over the next hour.

Your phones in Louisville may or may not be on these flights. UPS still has 3 shipment cycles after this one to get your phone to your hub for an on time delivery.

The flight must have had some crazy weather to go around. Look at the expected path vs the actual path haha

Why do you think it's going to Knoxville???? Louisville, KY would be the obvious choice.

Frequency?
 
My wife's phone still says 'Preparing for Shipment' with a delivery date of 9/25. No email notifications. o_O

Not uncommon. No need to worry. The thing to remember is if Apple says you will have it on the 25th, then you will, regardless of where it is at and when it ships.
