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 !

9/20 seems like it was ages ago! I was hoping I would see an update this morning but I was sadly mistaken, lol

 

[rpisack]

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.

Just as I sent this the door bell rang and guess what came. Estacic I was proven wrong!

 

[deBASHmode]

Shipping label - I has one.

 

[zunexapple]

Same here, today is day 15 of processing

It should start preparing for shipment any day look for the update

@rpisack - what does your tracking show now?

 

[Wrog]

It should start preparing for shipment any day look for the update

But expect it to stay in Preparing for a few days.

 

[APPLE-FANATIC]

Yes, Im patiently waiting on the status change, its a struggle.

 

[Wrog]

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

My tracking now shows:

Scheduled For Early Delivery On:
Thursday, 10/09/2014, By End of Day
Originally Scheduled For Delivery On:
Tuesday, 10/14/2014, By End of Day

I'm glad it might get here before the weekend.

I ordered on 9/13 and got an October 14-21 estimate. I don't even have a label made yet Has Apple changed your status to shipped?

 

[linkgx1]

Omg Z-Team! I got a shipping label created! Nothing on Apple.com, but tracking by reference number works! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

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.

I got mine yesterday at 8 in mckinney I am so sorry about your problem but i'd be pissed and probably call and complain!

Hey wrog looks like our phones are travel mates

Just thought I would update everyone again. I first posted late last night, was promised Saturday delivery. After multiple tracks from China/Korea, package missing flight out of China, weather exception in Louisville, to having absolutely no delivery date available all day yesterday..my depart scan finally happened this morning from Louisville (4:21 AM). Arrived in Indianapolis this morning at 6:29 AM, out for delivery at 7:27 AM and delivered at 9:22 AM. This isn't even my phone! It's actually my fiance's..I ordered it for him and I still have a 5s. I wanted him to try it out first before I decided if I wanted one.. I don't even live in the same country so I Have no real idea knowing if he received it or not since he is likely asleep. It did say he apparently signed for it but it also says "Left at:residential". He hasn't said anything to me this morning because he is still asleep, so I am assuming they just left it (he did not sign preauthorization form for it to be left). Anyways, I hope it's in a good location if they did just leave it. For once UPS came through on the promise of Saturday delivery.
Just a quick recap: 16 gb silver with Verizon. Purchased Sept 12, initial delivery date from Apple was Oct-13-24, UPS initially said Oct 3, changed to Oct 6 delivery, back to Oct 3, after severe weather was changed to Oct 4 (Saturday delivery). Finally arrived on Oct 4.

Good luck to everyone! I'll update again once more probably to let you know a) if he did sign for it and went back to sleep (since I have not had contact with him yet), or if they just left it and said he signed for it, and b) his thoughts on the phone!

Ordered mine about 8 hours after the opening bell. Apple store app still says oct 13-20. Got past the KY weather delay and is now in my state:

Portland, OR, United States
10/04/2014 7:50 A.M.Departure Scan
10/04/2014 5:49 A.M.Destination Scan
10/04/2014 5:44 A.M.Arrival Scan

Louisville, KY, United States
10/04/2014 4:10 A.M.Departure Scan


Just above that, it says
Next Scheduled Event: Monday,10/06/2014 by 10:00 A.M.

And at the top of the page it says
Scheduled Delivery Updated To: Saturday, 10/04/2014, By End of Day


Speaking from experience, if I have out for delivery in the next 4 hours, I'll probably see it today.

 

[GunZi]

For those of us that got a label today/yesterday... Will it be long until the phone arrives at next UPS facility(first scan)?

Man... That is messed up! I bet it will have to be monday Well, I'm heading out to the lake today and I won't be home so I just printed out the UPS release form from the apple site. Set up a hiding spot and wrote the directions for the driver to stash my phone. Hope its there when I get back.

Can't rest until all of us B teamers get their phones. Who knows, maybe it will arrive today

 

[ajinaz]

A Team update.
Almost over.
All 3 of my 6+ 64's are back together again and ready for me to pick up in 90 minutes when they open.

Phoenix, AZ, United States 10/04/2014 8:21 A.M. As requested, the delivery change was completed. / The receiver arranged to pick up the package at a UPS facility. Pickup must be made within 5 business days.

 

[linkgx1]

I tried putting my number and it doesn't work :*(

I put in my billing phone number. The shipping phone number wouldn't work. Also, try putting in your order number, but taking the last two digits off.

 

[Wrog]

I ordered on 9/13 and got an October 14-21 estimate. I don't even have a label made yet Has Apple changed your status to shipped?

Yeah, the status changed to shipped and I got a confirmation email late last night (almost very early today) with the tracking number.

Team B Update

Just received my phone! Tracking page never showed "Out for Delivery" but it is here. What a long strange trip...

I will keep checking back to follow the progress of you other Team B'ers and I hope it gets there in a hurry!! What an awesome forum.

Funny, I'm waiting on something from china(not an iphone), but it's going through the EXACT same process as all you guys' phones. So, I've been keeping up with this thread. I am also in Portland and here is my updated tracking.
My delivery date has been everything from last thursday- next tuesday smh.
it was saturday for the past 24 hours, but it just updated to monday smh.
Did yours update to monday, or is it still saying saturday?

 

[ElectronGuru]

it was saturday for the past 24 hours, but it just updated to monday smh.

It still says sat. And in fact, updated to being in my local city as of 20 min ago. They are really pushing to make up for the weather delay. Which brings up your problem:

Ups does not normally do sat delivery. They are only doing it here because this is express service in an important delivery group (big apple launch) with unexpected delays in their channel. If yours isn't apple and wasn't delayed, they would have less reason to break their 'no saturday' rule and pay the guy overtime to rush it to you. It would also help to know the speed rating of your service.

BTW, if you can help it, try DHL next time. They almost don't exist in the US but have amazing speed through Portland.
