Still in Anchorage - since 09/29 1:25pm
My 6 Plus Space Gray 64GB ATT is still in Anchorage at 9pm ET on 09/30. Delivery still shows 10/02 but I doubt it somehow - I guess if it actually made it to Louisville KY tomorrow AM, it's feasible. I ordered on 09/12 at 6:30am ET (so 3:30 PT). I'll check again tomorrow AM. I've developed a habit of checking this thread before I go to UPS to see if there's hope.

yay! same as mine. hope it catches one of those overnight flights to Oakland,CA for northern CA delivery tomorrow! My delivery date still says 10-1!
Newbie!
Well, I'm here anxiously awaiting my iPhone 6 plus. I ordered on Sept 20th, iPhone 6 plus 16 gig silver and originally got a shipping estimate of Oct 21st-28th. Shipped early and ups says its on time for Oct 2nd. We'll see I'm not feeling so confident now after reading everyone else's experience.

i haven't gotten mine yet but it went from processing to preparing in 24 hours and then shipped on saturday, and i'm supposed to get it on thursday.
This is why I absolutely hate UPS with every bone in my body. I ordered at 7:30 AM MST on 9/12. It shipped I believe the 25th. It said it would be delivered 10/2, Thursday. Now it's been moved to Monday, 10/6. If they get it to me Thursday, they'll have redeemed themselves with me but I doubt they will and I really wish Apple would switch to a carrier that actually understands logistics, like FedEx. Whoever decided to use UPS had to have been on some very strong narcotics.
Mine also left Anchorage at 4:42 PM (about 30 min ago).
My original ETA was for tomorrow, but last week it got pushed-back to Thursday 2nd, then Friday 3rd, but when I checked this morning it said Wednesday 1st again.
Given it's en-route to KSDF I don't put good money on it arriving to me (Seattle's outskirts) tomorrow - unless it is immediately placed on a night-flight out as soon as it arrives in Kentucky and then on a delivery van, but we'll see.
My blue leather iPhone 6 case arrived today - bent in transit (erk!) but otherwise fine. Just gotta wait.
I've also ordered a bunch of lightning cables from eBay at about $5/each - the $25 price on Apple's site is outrageous.

So all of your phones left AK except mine apparently.

Careful with how many cables you buy. I bought some cheap lightning cables once and then they stopped being "supported" after an update. Bleh.
Well if I get mine before you do and you ordered yours well before mine there is definitely something wrong with that. Although I know everything greatly varies depending on carrier gig and color. I just don't like being teased lol. I accepted the date of the 21st-28th then it moved to the 6th and I got super excited then it moved to the 2nd and I was ecstatic. Now I have no clue lol. It's more annoying than anything and I just want my damn phone.
I had another issue... every (total of 4) of the cheap cables came apart or stopped working after anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months. I even had one just leave the head in the phone and the circuit bard stayed with the cable (soldering just came off).
I preordered through AT&T. So I keep getting the 'preparing to ship' status. Estimated shipping date of 11/9/2014-11/27/2014! I ordered on 9/12/2014 along with everybody else! I've seen people who preordered the next day that are already getting their phones. I've had not changed anything on the order. What's the deal?
You are not alone.They abandoned this full load
Exactly same here:
Anchorage, AK, United States 09/29/2014 13:25 Arrival Scan
Shanghai, China 09/29/2014 21:01 Departure Scan
Yeah, departure scan seems to be the only indication we have. Some have said that the departure scans have been late to post. In the past I've seen departure scans get updated after the arrival scans post in another city. So it's possible ours are on their way to Louisville right now.. But I'm not holding my breath

More flights tonight? How can you be so sure?
Nope, mine is still there as well. Arrived on the same flight. Really weird how some on that same flight are already at Louisville, and ours are still in Alaska.
It's still in China, they on moved it through the customs early because of the holiday, so it has the departure scan, but trust me, it's still in China, and why do I know this? Because I am also facing the same situation
I could have picked up a 6+ 128gb at the store today but was not sure if I could do this having already preordered.
Could I choose to add a line so Apple will hold a phone for me at the store, cancel my preorder then use my upgrade to buy the held phone? (Hope that makes sense)
I've tried calling Apple but no one has picked up the phone there since release day
