I guess I am in this group too. I checked and mine finally moved to Preparing to Ship.

I read that there were production issues with the green glass. That makes me think we’ll see them October 1 or even later.

Last year my shipment got stuck in Canada for like 10 days so this year I’m not gonna give a **** and just be surprised when it finally arrives.
 
I looked back at the 9/20 delivery thread to get a sense of how long the preparing to ship phase lasted. Most got UPS tracking info anywhere from late Saturday to Sunday. I think the earliest I saw was about 4:30 PM Sat - most were Sunday, some stragglers had it Monday AM.
 
I don't see a way to delete a post ... I misread the title of this post . Please disregard. (We need a delete button.)
 
Am now moved to "Preparing to ship". No date update yet, but I expect I'll see that in the morning.

Mine just went to preparing to ship this morning. 11 pro 256 SG. I ordered around the 5 min mark for IUP. So unable to cancel now.

Yes mine also this morning.

My 11 Pro in Silver with 256GB went to preparing to ship over night too. My credit card was also charged. Hoping this means a delivery soon!
Yes mine also this morning. I bet it moves up before 27th now that major first day stuff moved

this morning preparing to ship. apple store order for t-mobile 11 pro max green 64. no tracking or references showing up yet.
Yes mine also this morning. As of this time still nothing in UPS references
 
Well those for 9/20 have shipped and been received. Hey Apple has to have something shipped
and received between 9/23 and 9/27. Have not heard much about people having delivery dates
during that period...
 
I guess I am back in this group. Best Buy was a failure, so I will just bide my time and wait.
 
Anyone with a delivery window of 9/30 - 7/10? So far it hasn't even got to the "preparing for shipment" state. Wonder when will it and when will I get charged aswell. Ordered it the 13th at night :/
 
We were at the mall picking up my husband's new phone, and at 5PM they still had phones to sell walk in people. Supplies were pretty limited, but they still had lots of people lining up to buy them. We were told that they will be getting new stock in tomorrow, but then not again until TUESDAY! No deliveries on Sunday or Monday.
My phone is still in 'preparing to ship' and nothing has been charged to my credit card. Bummer.
 
I have no idea how I got this delivery window. I was there as soon as the store updated and submitted my order which was preapproved for the iPhone upgrade program.
Same here. I woke up 5 min before orders started and completed my pre-approved order immediately at 8am. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but I didn’t get a confirmation email until 40 minutes later and today I discovered it says 9/27-10/2. I swore it said 9/20 right up until after I clicked “submit order”. I don’t really care about waiting another week but I would be pissed if this were a time sensitive gift. I mean it’s literally a bait and switch.

The Best Buy near me had every iPhone configuration in stock except the Midnight Green. I could’ve easily just went there and got a Space Gray 11 Pro Max, but it’s all good. I really wanted the Midnight Green and can wait until next week. :)
 
I ordered a space grey 512 max pro at 8am edt on the 13th. Yet I got a 9/27 10/1 delivery date while others who ordered minutes or even hours later already have their phones. I’d say the pre order system is a massive fail.
 
With those dates, it is best you walk into the store on launch day

No. The crowds on launch day and the week following are insane. Even if you line up before the store opens there’s no guarantee you’ll end up going home with anything. I tried that a couple of times and the results were no phone that day. Ended up having to wait for delivery anyway. Don’t waste your time and gas.

My order also said 9/20 when checking out and switched to 9/27-10/1 afterwards. Super bummed.
 
And here we go!

how do you get this to work? every time I try it says something is wrong with the reference number (my phone number) or the dates are not valid.
Mine was saying that too until the label was created. It looks like my label was created less than an hour ago, I’m sure others will follow soon!
