The only Chinese holiday I see is "National Day" on Wednesday, October 1st. With all these pre-orders still needing to be fulfilled, I hope they have some employees interested in holiday pay, overtime pay, whatever they call it over there! Get these orders moving, holiday or no holiday. That may sound a bit harsh, but my god, keep it moving :apple:

This is from 2012, so I don't think there will be any stoppage!!

China Labor Watch said the Foxconn workers were required to work during the eight-day holiday from Sept. 30 to Oct. 7 to meet the production demand of iPhone 5.

Foxconn said its employees in China who worked during the holiday did so voluntarily and were being paid three times their normal pay, in accordance with Chinese labor law.

Order Processed: Ready for UPS

YES! Mine is in the same status, sitting in China, it seems for several days. I show a 10/2 delivery date on UPS tracking. Not sure how realistic that is, but I'm hopeful as I have a road trip that weekend.

I'm not usually impatient, but it seems that is not the case this week. :)

6+ Space Grey 128GB AT&T

I ordered on the 19th. I got a 6+ 128gb in gold. Also used att next throught the Apple Store app. I'm still in processing. I have no pending or hold charges. Im not sure if it's with a corporate account but we get a discount for my husbands job.
 
ordered 9/12 2 6+ 64gb gold and space grey and still processing not sure how they fulfill these orders or there definition of a pre order but something not right
 
Finally got a delivery date...October 2nd.

Ordered 6 Plus - Silver - 64GB - T-mobile on 9/12 @ 7:40 am PDT.

I am really surprised Apple isn't continuing to ship in bulk to the US and redistributing it. My 6+ originated from Nashville before going to Louisville and then final destination. Doesn't make sense to ship millions of phones individually unless they are getting one heck of a discount from UPS/FedEx.
 
I'm hoping I get mine before the 3rd of October because I'll be off on vacation then! Supposedly I'll have it tomorrow but UPS already pushed the delivery from today to tomorrow so until I have it in my hands I expect everything that can go wrong to go wrong!

Well Murphy, I hope things go well for you and you get it sooner than later!:D

They are shipping in bulk and distributing in the states, apple is just taking advantage of UPS's freight plans, they are making UPS ship in bulk and make them distribute it, this is way faster and less time consuming.

I'm still in Shanghai also. My wife's phone which I ordered right after mine is in Louisville. Go figure. We both have same delivery date of 10/2/14 but phones are miles apart. Not worried. Ups knows what they're doing and I expect my phone on that date if not sooner.

My phone (iPhone 6-- black, 128 Gigs) was supposed to deliver on October 2. Reset to October 3rd yesterday. Final destination is western Canada. So, stuck in China for a few days now (9/25 was 9/24 on this side of the international date line). I suspect it will start moving now that we're through the weekend. In any case, it's no biggie-- this fits the definition of small stuff in my book so not worth sweating. As an aside, it's been a good opportunity to teach my 8 year old some geography-- he's also learning about time zones and the international date line.

I'm not far behind you.

I reordered on the 18th

Iphone 6 Plus 128GB Gold (GSM) AT&T

AT&T Next 12

Same processing

My shipping date: October 17th - 24th

So we're not far off at all
 
And it's delivered! Restoring from iCloud backup as I type these lines! Yeah!!

So to recap.
Ordered on the 12th of September. Got it on the 29th of September.
Only 10 days after launch!
The very first estimate was 13-20 October.

Hope you guys get it soon! And from what I'm reading here and from personal experience everyone gets it quite sooner than the first estimate from Apple.

I'm wondering if this (early deliveries) too will be the case for the orders in countries that launched the iPhone on the 26th of September.
We all got the "ready to ship in 5-7 businessdays" from the start of the online sales.

Only time will tell… Waiting is hard. Except on delivery day.

Ordered 26th of September, so obviously still processing… :)
 
My iPhone finally departed. I guess is going to Shanghai now. What a joke UPS. I really hope that they can deliver it next Thursday.

I guess UPS has no idea what a FIFO is....
 
Ordered 2 iPhone 6 plus' (1 SG 64 and 1 GOLD 64) on September 19th around 9:00 am EST through Apple! Estimated delivery given was October 22-27th. I haven't seen any movement yet, which is expected! Anyone on this thread have the same estimated delivery time?
 
Ours are still in China as well. Got really excited last week to have our status moved to 'shipped' but there has been no movement since then. :(

Also had a delivery date of this coming Thursday but like others, am now getting a tad nervous that both phones are still in China (ZhengZhou.)
