Thanks. Am monitoring my local Apple Stores to see if they get inventory, as the Apple chat person said they are still shipping to stores and my 'order' is in case it does not show up in the store. They said two things to check, one is to look online for local inventory, the other is to just go to the store as sometimes they have inventory that is not (yet) in the online system. Worst case for me is 12/3-11 (he says hopefully), just in time for Christmas!
On its way!
Got the email today that my shipment is on the way.
Woke up this morning to a call from my banks fraud prevention department and I immediately thought, "Oh great" cause I just knew this would be because Apple attempted to charge my account and the bank said, hold up.
But, I got it cleared up with the bank. Then I called Apple and the it was literally like a 3 minute call from start to finish to get the charge processed. Awesome service I must say.
But I have my FedEx tracking number and its on its way here to arrive on Friday the 14th. Can't freaking wait.
Its currently in Lewisberry, PA. Not too far from me here in Southern New England.
Device is a 64GB Silver iPhone 6. T-Mobile/Unlocked.
Order put in on Apple.com on November 3rd.
11 Days. Not bad.
Checked my order today and it now says "Delivers: Nov. 14 to Nov. 19" which is a week earlier.
Either wait times are dropping or they're just pulling my chain lol. We'll see!

I was able to snap up a SG 64GB 6 plus for wife today at the local Apple store. I used istocknow alerts and was really handy.

Ordered a Gold 64GB iPhone 6 for AT&T on 11/4. I got an estimated delivery window of 11/14 to 11/19. Does anyone know how accurate the 7-10 business day shipping is? I live in California.
I'm also seeing some people here who ordered the i6 but don't show the Next Day Shipping next to their order. Did Apple just recently start offering it for free?

Looking at the map on istocknow site looks like the middle states got their shipments in today. Arkansas, Alabama, Gerorgia, Kentucky, Illionois. Hopefully the east coast states get their shipments in tomorrow
Next day shipping wasn't even available as a paid option when I ordered two 6 models on the 30th. So yes, I'd say that would be new, though the wait time is the same as when I ordered. If they're offering you next day, I'd bet it's due to your location...some devices ship from southern California.
We have one coming today that shipped UPS from California, one on Tuesday via UPS from China. Both were listed as delivering between the 13th and 18th when ordered, so the timeframe Apple suggests still seems to be correct, and way more accurate than that of the carriers.
Looks like 7-10 days to prep for shipping is reasonably accurate. My 2 November order above was a Sunday, and 8 business days later (12 Nov) status is "Preparing for Shipment" - same delivery window
I see. I just saw that it said "Free Next Day Shipping" when I ordered so I thought that was cool considering how low stock has been lately.
Does anyone know what times the phone usually ships out? Like Morning/Afternoon/Evening. I know it probably varies a lot but...

Don't know about "usually"--but both of ours shipped in the evening, FWIW. Again, one was already stateside, while the other is coming from China, so it's hard to say what a typical experience will look like; seems like they're shipping from multiple places and using more than one shipper, since some folks have gotten theirs via UPS and some through FedEx (wish mine had gone though them!)
I am in Maryland. I saw Columbia and Bethesda store having them in stock at 9.30am.
looks like mine is in Korea at the moment, Incheon, Korea, Republic of 11/12/2014 7:38 P.M. Arrival
Wonder how long it will stay there?

Mine landed in Korea today too. It appears there is only one flight from Korea to Anchorage each day, UPS flight 99. It leaves Korea around 6:00 am PST and arrives in Anchorage around 1:30 PST.
My delivery day is Tuesday, Nov. 18. I notices things don't move much over the weekend so I may end up sitting in Anchorage over the weekend if I'm lucky enough to get out of Inchon, Korea tomorrow morning. There is a rhythm to all these movements but there are so many variables it's hard to sort out.
WE shall see what happens tomorrow morning.
Oh ok. Thanks for the info. My delivery day is Monday the 17th according to the tracking info.
I'm in Maryland too. I'm waiting on a 64 GB Space Gray regular 6 for ATT. A lot of the Best Buys and Apple Stores have been getting just Gold and Silver 64 GB for ATT
We have one in Korea scheduled for Tuesday too. I'm figuring there won't be a whole lot of movement over the weekend unless we somehow get bumped up for delivery a day sooner.
The silver 6 that shipped from California did arrive today as scheduled though. Now just waiting on hubby's slate grey 6...
Does anyone also know if Apple ships on weekends? If my i6 doesn't ship today (11/14) I may inquire about cancelling and going to an Apple store over the weekend since they seem to have been getting a steady amount of stock over the past few days in my area.
I watched UPS flight #99 depart Inchon this morning around 6:00 am PST but no update on my UPS tracking. This confirms when you have a delivery date showing on your UPS tracking page that's the soonest the phone will arrive. We have seen examples of it slipping too (see above post).
So I sit lonely at Inchon airport watching other iPhones come and leave, waiting for my reservation to come up. I wonder when I will leave Inchon knowing I need to be in San Diego next Tuesday?
My delivery day is Tuesday so I have to wait. If you post a screen shot of the tracker we can compare the time UPS used for departure with the flightaware time to confirm plane.
There was another smaller 767 that left Inchon today, UPS 49 and it departed Inchon 2 hours before UPS99. Need to see which one your iPhone is on. I noticed UPS99 is scheduled to continue on to Louisville however UPS49 stays in Anchorage so I assume yours is on UPS99.
