Apple.com preorder thread - iPhone 6/6 Plus

[ligase]

Same here, been in Incheon since yesterday. Do the UPS planes fly on the weekend?

There is a Friday evening flight that leaves Incheon, arriving in Anchorage at around noon Friday (UPS 99). That flight continues on, arriving in Louisville at around midnight Friday/Saturday.

But doesn't US CBP have to clear the shipment? My bigger question is whether they work weekends. Otherwise, the crate of phones will sit until Monday morning, no?

Updating this forum for my 9/22 team members from my BRAND NEW IPHONE 6 PLUS! I can't tell you how nice it is to move from a broken 4s to this beauty! It's worth the wait ladies and gentlemen!

- Dave OUT!

And with that, I bid you all adieu. Received my 6 plus today after ordering on 9/26. This thing is fantastic.

See you all in two years!

How long did it take to ship from china to you?

They skipped me

Team 10/1, Verizon 128 GB Space Gray iPhone 6 plus. I guess 10/3 orders are shipping? I'm almost three days into my shipping window and I'm still processing. The ones I see shipping and preparing for shipment are ATT and T mobile. No love for Verizon users, I guess.

My phone is with yours. Relax. We should get to Louisiville tomorrow and sit there until Sunday evening. Customs will clear Sunday and fly to your local hub for delivery on Monday. I am holding mine at the hub so I can pick it up when they open.

Im not worried. It will be here on the 27th. Even if its still in Korea. Ive been tracking everyones shipments here. Delivered on the 4th business day after shipping. (Weekends don't count but the phones will still move over the weekend if needed.)

The phone goes from Korean to Louisville pretty quick. Customs scan over the weekend and delivered to the regional hub early morning Monday to deliver. Just stating they could have easily put the phone on 2 flights now and haven't. That's it. Not complaining just stating the fact. (I also understand its not the service that was paid for.)

Here's an idea....iPhones aren't the only freight needing airlift from Korea! Planes are full of something more important...?

Seems to be alot of Oct orders going out here. ATT hasnt got much past 9/12. Apple seems to be hording for those that ordered thru them, which is BS.

Ordered a 128 space gray att 6 Plus at 2am on October 2nd. Expected delivery 10-31 to 11-7. Got my "working hard" email on Oct 17th. Checked today and it's now Preparing for Shipment. No tracking yet.

I wouldn't be surprised if you were automatically put into the UPS Worldwide Expedited (4-5 business day) delivery which seems to be the default for almost everybody.

Still processing, but hopefully preparing for shipment tomorrow!

That would be nice.....

Was my first time as well. well, from apple. I don't think i'll do it again.
I usually wait a few months after a release so i can get the pure unlocked version without hassle. Or just get the phone whenever.

wasnt a pleasant experience, and its not over yet (order just now preparing to ship).

Same. Next time I'll do what I've always done, get it a few months after too. Saves me the trouble of looking for updates on shipping 24-7 and I can live my life. Lol!
I don't mind using the my old phone for 3 more months and then picking up the phone at the store. I've always done it that way except for the Note 3.

How long did it take to ship from china to you?

About 5 days, though the fact that it was over a weekend seemed to add a day or two. Here is my full shipping log:

How long does it take for your order status to change from "Preparing for Shipment" to finally being shipped?
My credit card was charged and my order status changed to "preparing for shipment" yesterday, when will I see my order actually being shipped?
