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
lol....luckily someone should be home for me (at work), but I do have the pre-sign on the door just in case.
Great to hear from you, jeremyheslop. I think this was a great way to avoid desperation while waiting. Besides we did it with great humor sense... Hahaha
Enjoy your new shiny toy while some of us wait for ours... And comment your first impressions!

iPhone 6+ 128 GB (AT&T), Space Gray
Ordered 9/15
Shipped 10/3
Expected Delivery 10/9
Original estimate was October 14th - 20th, if I remember correctly.
Unfortunately I also have an iPhone 6 and I'm past the return period, so if I end up preferring the 6+ I'll need to sell the 6.

Thanks, I will. I was able to visit an apple store yesterday to hold both phones and the 6+ screen is gorgeous. I watched their timelapse of clouds over the mesa like 5 times. Like a kid in a candy store
Was great to read everyones ups and downs. I know what it was like to have UPS jerk my chain around. Check out the itinerary in the attachment. The phone didn't make the plane on the 1st. Was fun to watch it unfold.Attachments
Congrats to those who's phone is in transit and those that are getting it today! I've been fortunate enough to get mine on launch day and I am still very happy with my phone. 6Plus|Silver|64GB|AT&T Have a great weekend all!

I took off work today. Hey, it's Friday.
Still waiting...
It's a good thing we got a timely import scan in Louisville. Otherwise, we'd perhaps be waiting for it still.

Yep, I really thought it would be Monday.
Happy ending...
My 6+ arrived right on schedule as UPS predicted from the beginning at 10:30 yesterday. It's beautiful and amazing!!! It truly IS a tablet and has many of the same display characteristics as the iPad. I love it!!!!! You won't be sorry you had to go through all this waiting waiting waiting. It's worth every minute!

I'm so sick of UPS.
ME: "Where is my package being delivered?"
UPS: "Your package will be delivered Saturday"
ME: "To WHERE?"
UPS: "Your home address"
ME: "Ok, even though I requested it be sent to a UPS location?"
UPS: "Your package will be delivered on Saturday"
Uggghhhh#!@!!
Decided to start a new chat:
ME: "Where is my package being delivered?"
UPS: "Your package will be delivered Saturday"
ME: "To WHERE?"
UPS: "The UPS pickup location"
ME: "That is no good, they are CLOSED on Saturday. I need it send to my house"
UPS: "Here are the instructions on changing deliveries with My Choice"
ME: "I'm not given the option to cancel the UPS location pick up and have it delivered to my house"
UPS: "We'll have to transfer you to tech support"
----Transfer
UPS: "We're showing that your package will be delivered on Saturday"
ME: "TO WHERE????"
UPS: "Your home address"
ME: "Even though I requested it to be dropped of at a UPS location?"
UPS: "I'm not seeing that request. You package will be delivered Saturday"
ME: "So to be clear.. my package will be delivered TO MY HOME this Saturday?"
UPS: "Your package will be delivered on Saturday"
UPS: "Can I answer any other questions for you?"

Missed My Delivery Attempt
You guys are NOT going to believe this - well maybe you will... lol, but I missed the 1st attempt at delivery today. Since I never received an update of the delivery date in UPS tracking after them changing to it to "we'll tell you later" mode, I went to bed thinking there was no way in hell that my 6+ would get to me today... Well... I was wrong! hahaha.... Freaking thing made it to my door on the original date it said it would.... How funny is that?! Now I have to wait till Monday which is what I expected anyway after all the delays in China, which I'm fine with.... Hope everyone gets theirs on the day they expect and remember, even if UPS changes your delivery date to unknown, it may, in fact, make it on the date they originally stated.... Cheers!

Ok guys, I am gonna stick around maybe for a couple more day to answer question for future ups deliveries, I am pretty sure this trip made us research ups so much, some of us could even work as chat agents to answer questions, haha.
To those are expecting early deliveries, have a look at the apple estimate date emailed to u guys, it is usuallg really close to that date, plus minus 2 business days normally while 3 at max, so dont expect it a week earlier, I am not talking about the estimate on the apple store website, but the email u receive. Even if ups shows early, dont keep ur hopes up, because this drives some of us nuts. This is the first advice I have for u guys. Feel free to quote this and ask any questions. Good luck to 'Z' team, and future iphone 6 and plus owners.

Oh man... That is funny! Glad it made it your way
One of my phones is scheduled for delivery but the other arrived in Louisville 20 minutes after the first and hit bad weather. So in short, I've been the one obsessing over tracking but my wife gets her phone today and I'll have to wait until Monday for mine. Ha, life just works that way Next advice, dont freak out if ur phone is travelling all over the world without u, ups moves the phone around for some reasons and try to ship it to the states as close as possible to the apple estimate date. This happened to most of us. So dont freak out, this is normal.
----------
Advice three, dont expect ur phone to go to ur place directly from AK, because it won't, it will, I repeat myself, it will go to Louisville for an import scan first.

Originally ordered through Verizon - then Apple - canceled all orders.
Best Buy took orders for less than a week - 9/23-9/27 (I believe).
We ordered with them - received two iPhone 6+'s (64GB) in 5 days.
Our BB store had plenty of stock for people walking right in. - Just FYI. However, they will not share over the phone that they have inventory; we were told they always tell people that call in that they don't have any.
