Mine is showing the same, but I'm not worried at all. It'll be here Friday. It's most likely in Louisville sitting on a pallet and it'll be scanned when it goes out to the local distro hub.
I just want mine to leave KY already and get to my local hub so they can hopefully deliver it early.
That's one reason they are holding onto them in Louisville until the last possible moment. They want them to get to the local distribution centers between 1 and 6 AM on the 21s and then loaded on trucks for local delivery. There will be all UPS hands on deck Friday.
Still awaiting an arrival scan from AK 12:58 A.M.
My scheduled delivery also changed from end of day 9/21 to just 9/21

Im on the same situation but my delivery is still by 10:30 AM on 9/21. I do have UPS My Choice if that makes a difference.

Just to update on my order for comparison to others. I ordered at 3:25am EST on 9/14. Apple is still "Preparing for Shipment" like everyone else, and the phone is about 10 hours(driving) away from me in MD.
Louisville, KY, United States 09/18/2012 3:51 A.M. Arrival Scan
Addison, IL, United States 09/17/2012 9:00 P.M. Departure Scan
09/17/2012 2:29 P.M. Origin Scan
United States 09/17/2012 5:55 P.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS
Scheduled Delivery:
Friday, 09/21/2012, by 3:00 P.M.(by end of day for residential deliveries)
So last update was from 3:51am, but that didn't appear on my UPS tracking until about 5pm today. I'm guessing it's en route from Kentucky to the Baltimore area, then tomorrow to Thursday from Baltimore to my local hub, then delivery on Friday.

I have been thinking about this. What if all the UPS59 phones, made the flight, but in Anchorage, they did the departure scan, but forgot to submit it or upload it???? Maybe the more accurate scan is the Louisville Arrival Scan, and the whole system can't keep up.
So technically every one's phone which have a 12:58 Anchorage departure scan, actually departed somewhere between 3:00PM and 6:00PM, landing and checking in at Louisville, regardless if you get the correct arrival or departure scans at all. IE: The system is broken and we are left wondering why.
Have to share/vent:
Ordered on 9/14 @ 3:15AM (Sprint, 64, black). Confirmed by email from Apple & bank (pending payment). Today, had to check my balance for some stuff. My balance increased. Checked what was missing (take a guess). I almost had a hissy fit (is hissy still a used/cool word
Called Apple to address that matter and other stuff (like tracking). They told me my purchase was there and it's on for the 9/21 shipping. I asked about tracking and he said that more than likely, my phone was already here and I should get a tracking email tomorrow or Thursday. He said to check with the carrier for AppleCare (since many carriers don't cover theft/stolen for the iPhone). But the main thing was that my phone will be delivered on 9/21!
The Carriers do cover Lost/Stolen thru Asurion but AppleCare or AppleCare Plus don't and I should know because I am an advisor for AppleCare Tech Support
Two things, the batches that came out in August were, in all certainty, not Apple's first batches. They assuredly ran design and manufacturing verification batches in July -- or even June. All the kinks were most likely worked out at that time and even if they didn't, Apple has very stringent Q.C. so the phones with any defects wouldn't have passed through their inspections.
Second, if you must feel pity for someone, it should be the people who have had their phones manufactured in September. After a month of near-continious work, the machine bits are starting to get worn out and the workers more and more tired and frustrated -- after working long, arduous hours making the August-batch phones. That combination would surely lead to a lot more issues than any manufacturing issues Apple didn't solve during the verification batches.
I feel a "I survived Anchorage Departure 12:58" coming on as soon as we get a status update. Haha. Seriously though, I'm confident we'll all get our phones by 9/21 regardless of the UPS errors. I'm sure there's an enormous overload of traffic, and we very well may have taken off on the flight earlier, but the system didn't update. Whatever the case may be, as soon as I see a check in near my local hub, I'll know I am good to go!
My phone didn't show it was scanned at 3:51 this morning until about 5 pm tonight. UPS is way behind with the updates.
Relax!
Sharing my situation with others who would be in the same wagon and would have pain.
AT&T 16 Black
Ordered 3:39AM ET via app

But since it mentions 9/21, I am relaxed and hoping an update tomorrow/next day.
Have a great evening/night.

I'm sure the UPS backend is starting to get hammered with all these phones shipping.
Once those Apple order statuses change to "Shipped" all hell will break loose!

You think UPS is not ready to handle a mere 2 million small packages plus their routine work? Probably a drop in the bucket.
I'm not sure if anyone actually successfully did this yet. I think some have called Apple to have them direct UPS to allow pickup but, with all the discussion here, I could be mistaken. Otherwise you can pick up Monday the 24th.
Some have talked about having the package delivered to their local UPS store sometime Friday. You have to be a choice member and pay a $5 fee I think.
