new comedy now on Macrumors.com starring UPS
so i didn't get a departure scan i got this lol:"The UPS Proactive Response intercept for your package was completed. / Delivery will be rescheduled for Saturday." I tell you, if this was on tv i would watch it every night. It never gets dull when you think you've seen it all UPS just surprises you with some new crapola. I don't know how.... i know its soon but i'm calling it the emmy goes to UPS for the win lol. i know its not 100% their fault because the million of packages going through their network everyday and apple just add a plethora more to that. so all i can say is learn from your mistakes and plan for next year

I ordered a 6 Plus 64 GB Space Grey for AT&T via Apple.com on 9/24. My estimated delivery is Oct. 23-30. I'm still processing. Hopefully it will change to preparing to ship soon. I'm dying for ANY SORT of progress
Well, it's official: UPS is incompetent. My phone was suppose to be delivered today. It arrived in Louisville early this morning and had plenty of time to catch a 4 or 5am flight to North Dakota. Nope, it hadn't even cleared customs yet -- which I was told by a UPS rep that it had cleared in Alaska. Now I have a scheduled delivery of tomorrow. Thanks, UPS.
Mine, too!!!
Too bad i am in College and our post office is closed on Saturday and the UPS located in salisbury is also closed on Saturday
I'm in Phoenix. On the A team also. Mine has now been intercepted. Not sure if like in football it will now be returned to Alaska but it has been intercepted.
It's good to see that some of you who have delayed shipments are being rescheduled for Saturday delivery, that's how it should be. I think UPS bit a little more than it could chew this time.
The weekend will be better with the iPhone 6/Plus in your hand!

Yep, mine had a 10/2 delivery date and it made it - 4 days after it sat in Louisville ALL weekend. My delivery date changed once (originally 10/1 to 10/2) throughout this whole process, but it stuck to 10/2 luckily.
Awesome! Glad for you
Of the two phones that were supposed to be delivered today, looks like only one will make it, (the wife's) and mine is rescheduled for Saturday or Monday, depending on which site you believe.
They both arrived in Louisville early this morning on different flights, (2:08am & 2:28am) but seems that 20 minute window made all the difference. Wife's phone is on the truck for delivery and I'm sitting in Louisville.
Bummer but... At least I have some of you folks to suffer with
So, mine didn't go through Anchorage? That seems odd. And, it is sitting at the airport just about 5 minutes from my work, but it is not out for delivery? Our office closes at 5:30PM, guess it will have to be Monday. Thanks, UPS.

Just to let everyone know what happened for me:
Ordered from Apple Store App on iPhone 9/12 at about 6:30am EST an iPhone 6 plus SG 128GB AT&T.
I was given an estimated Oct. 13-20th delivery date.
I went from processing to preparing on Sept. 25th.
My Discover Card was charged on Sept. 26th.
Then the UPS saga:

I suppose I shouldn't complain since it arrived 11 days before the projected window.
The phone is great by the way. So far it definitely not "too big" but I have been waiting for a bigger iPhone. It is well made and fits in my front pocket no problem. It is a little "slippery" though as I am currently using it without a case. I am tempted to keep using it that way but I know I will drop it at some point! I have a cheep case on order so we will see what I think about that and then maybe invest in a nicer one. Either that or just put the cheap case on when I know I will be in a rough environment.
Good luck to everyone. Yours will arrive soon too I am sure!

Wow Kbacon (are you the actor? Hahaha):
Congratulations on getting your phone! I so envy you... Hahaha. Now, about the case, I would advice you to use one... Even if it's cheap. Better to ruin a cheap case than a largely expensive phone. I would advice you to use a Diztronic one, since I've been a loyal user of this brand and I think they make very quality products which have saved my precious devices more than once... Anybody can have an accident, and considering the glass of these devices, better be aware (Advice of a friend).
Thanks for the support last night. I was glad I wasn't the only one who had to go through the China->Korea->Alaska->Kentucky saga. My phone was in my state this morning and is on a truck in my city:
Salisbury, MD
Ordered from apple site later in the day on pre-order day (East coast 3am is a pain lol).
iPhone 6+ 128gb space gray should be in my hands before the sun goes down. Thanks again for everyone on here passing info and the great links to seaturtle, flight trackers and more.

Standing Guard
I think I'm gonna grab a chair and sit outside of my house all day today. I don't want to miss this UPS guy for nothing in the world! LOL
What???
I'm not crazy... Just cautious! LOL

Ships in 24 hours
I ordered a 64GB Space-Grey T-Mobile iPhone 6 on October 1 and it shipped on October 2, even though the Apple website still claims 7-10 day wait.
Then UPS rescheduled delivery from October 14 back to October 9.
I'll see what happens, but thats a whole two weeks earlier than they predicted when I ordered it two days ago!
