does everything go through Tennessee?
I know in the past when I order online my orders always start in Tennessee and I am in Canada

Still no change in my order status10/24-10/21
Have you even received "Shipped" via apple's website, or a tracking number?
I haven't receive nothing
status is still processing items i guess you guys who are on the 10/13-10/20 delivery date are a different batch I haven't receive nothing
I think UPS is the issue, cause folks that had their shipping and tracking on the same day I received mine are showing their phones stateside already, and mine isn't showing any movement and the delivery date on mine was pushed out a day. Same ****** as the 10/1-10/6 batch experienced. Again, UPS doesn't have the bandwidth to support the volume of deliveries.

I'm on the 10/13-10/20 delivery date and my still says processing.
FedEx's main hubs are Memphis and Indianapolis. They have the 777 Freighter, which can fly non-stop from China, so that can save time compared to the MD-11Fs UPS use, which need the tech stop in Anchorage (FedEx also uses MD-11Fs and they also make the ANC tech stop).
Louisville is UPS' main hub, so most small products (like iPhones and iPads) transit through there from China (via Anchorage).

Thanks for correcting me I was thinking Knoxville but Louisville sounds right now that you said that
Hopefully the later-made batches aren't gonna encounter bendgate
When and what did you order?
Ordered a few hours after 9/12 launch
6+ 64gb Silver T-Mobile/Contract Free on apple.com
I guess Apple doesn't really prioritize the T-Mobile orders. I ordered mine on Sept 14. Iphone 6 Plus 64gb Gold T-Mobile with delivery date of 10/14-10/21. I haven't seen a change in my order status
Well, my order from sept 12 is still processing and I just canceled it. Managed to find a local apple store for pick-up. best of luck to you all
I think it's the tracking system that's all out of whack and not reflecting the actual location of the packages. My hope is that once the business day has begun tomorrow the tracking information might get updated. The arrival date still shows Oct 2, so I'd go by that. Since it is expedited shipping the UPS site shows this:
Delivery within four or five business days from Europe, Asia, and Latin America
Which is in accordance with the ship date of the 26 and arriving on Oct 2. What it does in between doesn't really matter.
My order is unlocked 6+ gold 128gb and still processing, starting to really rethink the whole purchase! Between bendgate and Apple being so stupid and late I'm seriously thinking about saiting for the next revised 6 which will be stronger at least!
Ordered on the 12th first hour of store going online and still processing, should I call them?
Also local stores never show 6+ gold for reservation!

I ordered the Iphone 6 Plus 64gb Gold T-Mobile on Sept 14. Delivery estimate was 10/14-10/21. I haven't seen a change.
Thanks for the positive vibes. Also mine shows "World Ease", is that considered expedited shipping?
World Ease shows on mine under Product in "Additional Information" on the left side of the page. On the right it shows UPS Worldwide Expedited under "Shipped By". Your page ought to look the same.

I wouldn't be concerned about 'Bendgate". Consumer Reports has debunked that. The Plus turned out to be stronger than the regular 6, though both were considered to be of adequate strength and should be fine under normal use.
