My son's school is closed on 9/25 because The Pope's US visit hits NYC. So I'm quite happy that I "need" to take the day off from work as I can spend the day with the boy and have the added bonus of getting my hands on the phone the moment it arrives.
On the flip side however, the whole city is a mess of closed roads and diverted traffic. Hopefully deliveries that day aren't affected. My neighborhood isn't one of those closed to traffic the whole day, but it's nearby to quite a few of them.
Just preordered my 64gb 6S+ today at a tmobile store and I'm hoping i get mine on the 25th fingers crossed
Is ATT shipping UPS or FEDEX??? Does anybody know,For those in Philly and NYC, UPS -- if they are indeed the ones shipping your phone -- already has a warning that service will be interrupted on the 25th.

I have a box from the 6 from ATT and it is a FEDEX box.
This isn't a carrier specific lockout on the cities listed. It is government shutdown of the roads and access points which will affect ALL traffic.
