Got my shipping email/text/whatever today. Tracking number shows it left Harrisburg, PA yesterday afternoon with no updates since.

Also, I still don't have a charge on my card from Apple. The authorization expired on Tuesday and nothing since then.
 
Yep I got mine too at 1:21 am (MST) so around the same time as you :). Quite a few of us got it - Check out the Canada thread: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1773803/ we need all the canucks in one spot :D

I shall do that :-D
I'm certain I have enough excitement for 2 threads ;-)

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 will be there, fret not. Mine is the same.


How long does not take to go from preparing for shipment to shipped?

That varies. Mine was stuck on preparing for days before it shipped. Once it says shipped, things move really fast!!!
 
Anybody that live in PA have this happen? I live 30 minutes from Harrisburg PA, Im curious to know the reason why they would ship it out of state first and then back to PA.

Haha fathom me this one. I live in Hershey (5-10 minutes from Harrisburg). I just checked the tracking on my phone and here is what it reads:

Louisville, KY, United States 09/18/2014 12:52 P.M. Departure Scan
Harrisburg, PA, United States 09/17/2014 6:05 P.M. Departure Scan
09/17/2014 6:00 P.M. Origin Scan
United States 09/15/2014 10:09 A.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS


I sure hope they didn't send my phone from Harrisburg, to Kentucky and back to Hershey. Not sure if this is just a mistake or what but something seems a little off.

Haha funny you just posted that. Mine did the same thing. Must be some kind of mistake. I don't think they would send out phones to Kentucky.
 
Seems like some of yall getting emails around 12:30 EST. I'm on the west coast so hopefully it updates around that time.

I think it's how UPS works. Everything must go through the world port. Not very intelligent but it's how it works I think.
 
I just happend to check my CC and there is a pending charge; Went to apple store site to check status and sure enough prepping for shipment.

This was for a 6+ Tmo 64GB Space Gray, so maybe they are getting good yields.
 
My 6+ 128GB Space Gray had the same estimated delivery and available to ship and it just changed from "Processing order" to "Preparing for shipment" this morning. Here is to hoping it comes far sooner than the estimated delivery date...




Now I started to worry


Most ppl in the 1-6 oct got that update

i'm still processing

Maybe the delay is because if the gold:(
 
For the worried, if your phone is being shipped from US to Canada, as long as ups has the pkg by 3:30pm today, it will be here by end of day tomorrow.

Source- Ups website, shipping standards for next day express saver shipping.
 
A Glimmer of Hope???

Moved to "Preparing for Shipment" - HALLELUJAH! :D

Was originally told 7-10 business days from pre-order on the 12th for shipping and an October 1-6 delivery.

Maybe there's a shimmer of hope I'll get it tomorrow on launch day...? :rolleyes:

(128GB Space Gray 6 Plus on AT&T - ordered 9/12/14 at 3:59 AM EST)

Mine too... We may not get it tomorrow, but perhaps the following week!

(64GB Space Gray 6+ on T-Mobile - ordered 9/12/14 at 2:29 AM PST)
 
Anybody else in this boat: shipped email from Apple for a delivery tomorrow, but nothing but a 'Ready for UPS' notification?

I show the same but I called apple and they said it is still on schedule for tomorrow. I have not had this happen in all the years I have been ordering. oh well we will see tomorrow. :)
 
Folks, the vast majority of the phones will leave the Louisville hub via jet early Friday morning and arrive at your city around dawn. They will go to the local centers and go out via truck to your home/work or held at your requested location. Don't expect to get it or pick it up Thurs night.
 
Oklahoma Space gray 6+ 128

I had my dates changed twice, most recently to 10/2-10/13. Ordered 4:30 eastern time on the 12th. Someone in another thread mentioned the order number they were given as if the digits gave some insight on when it would be shipped.. anyone know what that is about? I have yet to get ship order but dates have not changed since settling on 10/2-10/13.

I'll second this post. With my iPhone 5, it didn't leave Louisville until early in the AM on Friday, made it to Seattle before 5am, made it onto a truck to a UPS sorting location (30 min away from the airport) by 7am, and was delivered to my home (another 30 min away from the sorting location) by 9am on the button.

I'm not worried that mine is still sitting in Louisville. Flightaware.com shows several more flights it could end up on later today or early tomorrow.
 
Does anyone know if apple will buy your old iPhone when you go to do in store pick up for the 6?

And if they do how much will they give for a 16gb iPhone 5?
