Just did a little experiment...

Went to the Apple store to see if they had the phones I ordered available to pick up in my area...


Negatory! Not even a little bit.


People saying they can go pick up the phone NOW instead of waiting may want to think again before they cancel their current order...(I know there was 1 last week...apparently they are gone now).

These phones are not as plentiful as some want you to think...that's another reason why we are waiting so patiently...:cool:
 
So if my phone is on the plane that I think it's on. It's going to fly right over my house real soon on the way to the airport here in Alabama that it's going to. I wonder if they'll put a parachute on it and toss it out to me haha
 
if you guys are stuck on perparing for shipment for 3 days. go to ups and track by refrence and put the billing phone number and you should get the tracking info there

Preordered on the 15th
I've been stuck on preparing for shipment for 3 days and there still is no tracking info on ups for me.
6+ 64g att grey
 
Hi Guys,

I've been reading this thread for a few days now. I ordered (whole long fiasco...) through Apple on the 23rd and status just changed to "preparing to ship" yesterday and my card HAS BEEN charged. How soon do you think I should get a shipped notification?

That's just not right!! :mad:
I ordered 4 days earlier and I'm still stuck in processing hell.
 
Ground hog day

exact same data here. mine is back to being in transit. can you check again?

Yes it's back to in transit. Just left Zhengzhou again ...it is Ground Hog Day or April Fools Day or did it really leave this time. No delivery posted date though.

They update the next day's inventory every evening at midnight local time. That's when you should check the Apple Store app and reserve for pick up.
 
No contract? If it's unlocked, no...that's not exactly normal. If you have a contract, could be eligibility issues. Have you been charged?

Although, some people experienced longer times...mostly AT&T people...LOL.

Yes, I was charged 3 days ago. And I ordered the 12th of September!
 
I got a text saying my phone will delivered today! After starting with a 10/1 delivery, then 10/2, then 10/3 and even 10/6, it looks like 10/2 is the magic date. My phone arrived in Louisville today at 12:35 am, left at 4:13 and then arrived in Philly at 5:40.
 
Like I suspected, after customs cleared, the scans would begin to make sense. Delivery is today in spite of it moving from the 6th, to the 2nd, to the 3rd, then again to the 6th. It went from HK to AK to KY and now NC. It pays to be patient. I still have my hair and nails & later it looks like I'll have my phone.
 
Ordered on 9/13 - Just went to shipping ...

... and I cancelled an AT&T order -- but I am paying full price and had my card charged three days ago. Calling Apple today to find out what's up.

And my ship date on apple.com is still between 10/15 and 10/21.

No shipping notification either.
:confused:

Once your card has been charged, it's fairly quick...at least, you'll get your shipping notification within 48hrs (usually a lot less).

Quick question...AT&T?

YES!!!!! I hope you're right!! Got 2 coming...1 for me, 1 for my wife. Both 128GB, 6+, Space Grey...(VZN)
 
Yay it's actually going to be here today!

I ordered on the 20th through the apple store, Verizon 16gig silver 6+.

Stuck in ZZ

Yeah. I have that too. Except it now shows yet another departure scan from ZZ at 4:30 pm local time.

Same story here--in ZZ since 9/26 and has now departed three times. No delivery estimate.

Ordered 6+ 128G at 6am EDT on 9/12 from Apple. Original delivery estimate 9/13-20. Card charged over a week ago. I just checked and my Apple Store has the phone for pickup today but I can't cancel my order because it has shipped. Or "shipped."

What is the chance if I go to store today they can cancel it for me and I can go home with a phone?
 
I was ready to throttle UPS. Got an email yesterday saying I had a package coming 10/1. Um no. it got stuck in Louisville. Changed delivery to today. It has arrived at the local UPS. I will be picking it up in 2 hours
 
From ZhengZhou to Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong -- SMH

I'm right at the tip of heading to Anchorage... Hope to get another update by the end of day today.

Finally

Ordered 9/20, my 64GB plain 6 in SG on VZW is out for delivery.

Whoot!

I should say, my SO's 6. My own 6+ travail has been somewhat more problematic. But I'll get to play with the 6 some, I'm sure.
 
For all of the people who are still in processing:


Which carrier did you choose?

Verizon
AT&T
Sprint
T-Mobile


I've noticed a lot of people who haven't gotten past the processing part are with AT&T...do you think that's got something to do with the delay?

AT&T... been with them for 10 years... They accomodate me because of my tenure, whenever I need to adjust my bill. They even gave me my unlimited data back after I canceled it months ago.

I ordered the same phone on the 16th and I'm still processing.
 
My latest scan. Do you think it will go back to ZZ and reset or do you think it will go on from Incheon?
