Anybody else in this boat: shipped email from Apple for a delivery tomorrow, but nothing but a 'Ready for UPS' notification?

Tracking number has had zero activity since 9/15. No scans, nothing. I'm starting to freak out. Anybody else in the same boat?

it is most likely pretty close to you so don't worry as long as your ship date is 9/19, this happens every year....it will update at some point!!
 
Anyone know - if I've already specified "leave at front door" in My UPS Choice, do I still need to print out Apple's pre-sign form?

I said to leave at front door also, but just be to on the safe side I clicked the pre-sign link and printed out the sheet and am going to tape it to my door.
 
Finally got my notification, items will be ready for pickup tomorrow! cant wait :)

My order is still processing for in store pick up on 9/19. Hopefully I get an email later today! My card was also charged after pre order then it just disappeared.
 
totally! although if i do ATT next, i mind as well just get them all! still have no clue what to do as an individual plan!!

I didn't choose the AT&T Next because I think I would've had to give up my grandfathered unlimited data. Maybe I read wrong...?

Yep, I'm in the same boat. Shipping to Portland, OR... iPhone 6, 64GB. It'll be fine - I bet they're sitting somewhere on the west coast and will be shipping out to our local areas overnight.
 
dont worry about none of that guys. If your delivery is for the 19th youll get it on the 19th.

YES, finally!!

i totally understand why peeps are freaking, especially if it is first time! my iPhone moved from my town to another location, go figure, not worried as they are all ready to go, this has been well thought out before hand by logistics peeps, they have learned after so many iPhone launches what works + what does not work - as for pre order on the apple store + apple app, as far as I know they NEVER officially said pre order would start at 12:01....in the days before i checked and i never found an official start time for apple
 
I am in Southern Virginia. Mind you, it's only 5 1/2 hours from Harrisburg, PA.

However, my status for my phone Still "Preparing for Shipment" Delivers 9/19 Standard Shipping

UPS My Choice isn't showing any information when I track by reference.
Neither is FedEx.

I don't know if my card was charged or not, because I am unable to check my balance at the moment.

I ordered on 9/12. iPhone 6 - 64GB - Space Gray

Are they doing these in the order of which they are received or what?

It's 12:56PM EST and I still have no updated information from Apple.com or UPS.

Was I one of the unlucky ones that didn't make the cut & they just haven't updated to a new delivery time? Or?

This is my first time pre-ordering a phone. I've ordered things from Apple before, and never had an issue like this. My phone case is en route to me right now for delivery so I shall see it on my door step within the next hour or two. I ordered that on 9/15, Shipped 9/16.

I don't think order of things mattered a whole lot. They probably had some system of doing it based on stock/request levels or some other method. I ordered my wifes phone first just in case i ran into problems, figured she was a bigger need than my own and if something ran out or went wrong, at least hers would be done. I then ordered mine successfully. Both 64g, regular 6, one SG and one Gold. Once they started processing the orders in Nashville my phone which was ordered 2nd was labeled and ready to ship a full 24 hours before the first one. Then yesterday it went the exact opposite in shipping to the hub, the first order went to Louisville on a flight 6 hours before mine. Experience seems to be though that if Apple has the date on the order, you will get it on that date.

i am out of contract so on pre order i just picked one, i called ATT to get my iPhones unlocked and they gave me a $250 credit immediately on my account! she was pretty nice!! i need to sort out what to do!

Use clear tape. UPS drivers get spiteful if you use duct tape.
