Having a bit of a "freak out" moment...

Preordered and everything has looked good. My order still shows pending shipment and shows a delivery of 9/19.

However, my card had a hold on it for the price of the phone. I just checked now and the hold is off and it has not posted on my account.

Concerned a bit since the charge isn't showing now but it still says it will be delivered on 9/19. Really hope that this is just a premature "freak out" at this point....

Thought of calling them to see but I do not want them to try and cancel out the order and redo it and lose my shipping date.

Same here, normally it then posts a day or two later. With anything else it would be fine but with this I'm wondering if I should check with my bank to make sure they didn't deny the charge.

Anyone else in the same boat as me?

Yes, I also have a 128GB Gold 6+ Verizon that I bought for the unsubsidized price. It is still preparing for shipment and no other info available.

the charge wasnt a charge. It was a pending authorization. Its done by major companies who dont charge until after an item ships. Its normal practice to assure that funds can be reserved no matter if the available funds reach 0. If the charge is not made final after a number of days usually 5 sometimes less then the funds are released; however, when apple comes back and charges you the amount will show immediately. dont worry it happened to me and has happened to me in the past with apple. its perfectly normal
 
I did order from the reservation email. But they keep telling me that it will be delivered on the 19th. I assume you're in the same situation? Also, it's a 64 6 Plus in Silver (seems that they might be doing batches based on the config of the phones).

Yeah.. I ordered it next day with a reservation. Mine is a 64 6+ gold.
 
Ordered T-Mobile 6 Plus 64gb space grey around 3:10am EST on Apple.com and status is at

Everyone keep in mind that these phones are shipped via overnight/second day delivery service. If your device is shipping from China, you are Worldwide Express Saver. If your device is showing to be in Mount Juliet, TN, you are being shipped via Next Day Air.

Does this mean it hasn't left china yet?

Looks like that only means:

Delivery Commitment Next business day delivery by 10:30 a.m., 12:00 noon, or end of day, depending on destination

I made two separate orders under one account. Both say preparing for shipment but only one has been charged to my card. Also when I put my phone number in UPS only one package comes up. Should I be worried about the second one?

Any help? I was just wondering because why would only one be charged and not the other and why only one would show up in the UPS search by reference.
 
It's around 6:00 AM Wednesday in Zhangzhou. Mine departed from there by the looks of it Tuesday at 7:00 PM. So I'm thinking it may arrive in Alaska in a few hours or sometime tonight. Exciting stuff!

The 6+ I ordered is still in China but other orders will be in various other stages of shipment. The thing to take away from this is that they could ship from China early morning on 9/18 and it would still make it for delivery on the 19th.

How is the serial being decoded exactly ? for example my serial does not have a number anywhere near 35, therefore I am not sure how to read the serial nuber
 
My iPhone 6+ 64gb, silver is showing that it is ready to be shipped in UPS systerm with a tracking number and the serial number is showing up in my support profile on Apple.com. It is in TN. I spoke with an Apple rep and he said that for the phones in the states we won't see an update with regard to tracking until tomorrow or Thursday.
 
Uh!!

Still says preparing to ship: delivers by 9/19.

I am bummed... I'm ready for some action! So, apple is good with dates, right! If they say 9/19, they mean it? Right?

Mine is back at processing, but I just called (and took this opportunity to change the name on the shipping address from my mother's name--primary ATT account holder--to mine, in case for some reason there would be some issue with the delivery person) and they said it was still scheduled to get here on Friday, so I don't think there's anything to worry about.

That sounds good to me but would be more fun to see some movement ha

I hope so too. Just called Apple to verify my shipping and I'm still on for the 9/19 ship date. No free case though. Bummer.

Mine is the same. I got the 64 gray plus with Verizon.
It COULD be already in the states and it is at the hub to ship to the destination hub Thursday for shipment Friday. That would explain why it just says preparing to ship.

Mine went back to processing as well but I am glad to hear that! Thanks for sharing.

Haha. I called to modify the name on the shipment and ask about why it went back to processing, with a slight hope of a free case. :D
