You got my hopes up but tracking by reference didn't work for me. I've been preparing to ship since early Monday. Still no freakin change.
Still processing...
I'm hopeful that T-Mobile 6+ are starting to move. I so hoped I would move off of processing yesterday (my delivery dates are Oct 20-27, ordered on the 19th after canceling my AT&T preorder which wasn't delivering until Thanksgiving).
SG 64GB 6+
I'm in ATL and was close to going to a Target that had an ATT SG 64GB 6+ reported in stock on istocknow.com, but decided to wait on my unlocked phone.
So anxious. I've got my case (actually I have bought two) and screen protector is coming.
But looks like no phone until October 20-27.

Me too! Except to DFW! Cannot wait except it'll probably arrive at 6 pm (or later) after I've waited anxiously all day, but I will survive after all the previous encounters.
Well... After 3 different places on the tracking action log clearly said that my package was going have its delivery rescheduled for SATURDAY, I woke up this morning to find out that my phone is actually now in Decatur IL, now with a scheduled delivery date of Monday. JUST when I thought UPS was going to redeem themselves by doing the SATURDAY thing, I am now ****ed until next week... Again.
ARG!!!!!
ARG!!!!!
I am. 128 SG 6+ Att. Ordered 10/2 after stupidly cancelling my 9/12 preorder with ATT hoping to reserve one in the store that (poof!) was gone.
Let's hope the phone shows up before Halloween. Looks like they're doing a good job of getting the high volume of preorders out. I think once the preorders are shipped things will move faster for us later folks.
I'm not sure where your located but mine went from Louisville straight to Oklahoma. My wife's went to Texas first. You may get lucky and skip a stop. Hope!
UPS Sucks!
I'm part of the 'A' team and should have received my iPhone 6 yesterday. However, UPS lost it so now I have no clue when I'll be receiving it. At approximately 8:11AM yesterday morning UPS updated the latest activity to "out for delivery" with a timeframe of "by end of day." Needless to say I was very excited when receiving an update indicating that I would actually receiving it yesterday. I even took the day off from work so I could be home to sign for it.
I patiently waited by my front door virtually all day and my iPhone never arrived. I had some on this forum indicate that the drivers were required to deliver all packages before they could return to UPS which stirred a little hope inside of me.
9:00PM, still no iPhone.
10:00PM, still no iPhone so I decided to call them. After a fairly short conversation I learned that they basically had no clue where my iPhone was. They indicated that it could take a lot of time to do an investigation as to the whereabouts of it.
I woke up this morning to find that they had changed the 8:11AM scan from "out for delivery" to a "destination scan" activity. I also noticed that the scheduled delivery date was updated to 10/6 "by the end of the day." It is starting to look like my iPhone either never made it onto the vehicle for delivery or they accidentally included it with the others being held for pickup. Either way, they screwed up royally. Although I have a scheduled delivery date I don't trust it. This delivery date has been updated a few times during this entire process. It was even delayed 1 day due to UPS sending my package to the wrong location early in the process.
Having already taken Friday off from work to sign for it makes it difficult taking Monday off as well and I have no other way of getting it. The only UPS facility available for me to pick it up at is about a 45 minute drive from where I live and it also has horrible hours. So, I'm basically going to have to take time off from work either way which is not cool.
To make a long story short, UPS sucks! This is the absolute last time I will ever preorder or order another product from Apple since they use UPS a lot of the time.

You definitely have a claim and I would call apple to let them know what happened. Also I would call and complain to UPS but I wouldn't let that be a reason to not order from anyone that uses UPS this is more of a fluke than the norm from them.
ok here we go countdown lol
I know this next step is going to take forever ... I order a 6+ 64 GB SG..on Saturday 13 and my arrival day was Oct 14.
After being 4 days in preparing to ship it finally went out... But as I was reading I guess my phone would sit here for days!!!

Seems weird that you got two import scans.

Major bummer. And you took off from work. Something I did yesterday.
----------
Can you go there today and pick it up?
Same here. They had all day yesterday to ship to Newark but waited until almost 5am. Now it's stuck at my local Depot. Does anyone know if I just show up if they will let me pick it up?
Mine is also stuck in Newark and nothing has happened yet... Now, about picking it up... I don't know. What if they already have it out for delivery but they haven't updated status yet? I think I will wait.
Highly likely. My phone wasn't updated to out for delivery, yet I wound up chasing the UPS guy down the block. Almost missed him! My phone landed at Newark, too, transferred to Secaucus, and is now being restored from my backup.
Hopefully those of you that missed getting their phones yesterday will get them today or Monday. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
You will be pleased once you get your iPhones. The iPhone plus is really very impressive. I've already come to terms with how big the phone is. Not yet sure about the relocated on/off button. I almost wish they left it on the top but maybe with time this will grow on me.
Everything positive that you've read in all of those reviews are true. This thing is gorgeous. The display is beautiful and easier to see outside. Wearing polarized sun glasses in the car is no longer a problem. The low light photos can look amazing. The dual tone flash is better than the single flash of the iPhone 5.
I did put a case on it because it does feel like you can drop it easier that the iPhone 5.
Good luck to all and keep us up to date.

Update:
My delivery date on MyChoice still says Monday. But when I look at the full tracking - it indicates that it is to be delivered today. I called UPS, and they also showed that it should be delivered today.
Not holding my breath though. Still does not show an 'out for delivery' - and it is 9:20am here. Bleh.
Same here, today is day 15 of processing
I feel for you both - I was a week, and it felt ages - now in Preparing for Dispatch for three days and that feels like forever too !
I would have hope it was on the truck as my delivery date still says today but it's listed as Monday on My Choice and I received a text saying it was changed to the 6th. When things contradict with UPS it's usually the worse option that's the correct one.
I believe all Apple orders are expedited. I am not aware of a faster shipping method. Once it hits Alaska, you should have your phone within 24 hours. Unless of course you hit bad weather OR catch the last flight from Anchorage to Louisville
Thinking back to the last time I preordered (for a 4), I don't remember it bouncing around with that many scans in Asia before landing in Anchorage that other people have reported.

Yours and mine must be on the same plane, I have the same tracking scans so far.
