Maybe because Apple is trying to put as much Iphones in one UPS flight instead of shipping them right away?

Indeed, this all makes no sense for the both of us.

Mines in ZhengZhou, China, and if I'm not mistaken I think it needs to make another stop in China somewhere before it heads to Alaska. If anyone can confirm, please do.

I really don't think color matters nor carrier as I've seen someone say cause T-Mobie phones are unlocked and the demand for unlocked iPhone 6's are high, but any GSM or any iPhone for that matter can be unlocked via iTunes and I'm sure this can be done at the factory.

From what I've seen it usually moves from
China -> ZhenZhou -> Shanghai -> Alaska -> Louisville -> Your destination
Ordered mines(6/64GB/SG) the afternoon of 13th September 13-20th Oct. Mate order his 12th Sept night has got 10-17th Oct date!
I just got an email from UPS stating my iPhone was going to be delivered on 10/1. But, it was scheduled for 10/2 and when I go to the tracking page, it is now changed to 10/3 and hasn't budged from ZhengZhou, China since 09/26?? That's three different dates.. UGH!!
EDIT: UPS is messed up!! Just got another email from them saying will now receive on 10/2. I go and look at the tracking# and it has now changed to 10/6..

Don't trust UPS!!! They are crappy!! I would depend on the Apple delivery date.......Sucks though I know!!!! Good Luck ; )
I've been charged!!! Apple.com still shows processing so I don't know when I will get the phone, but at least I now have some hope! I guess they are onto the 9-13 orders now.
64 gb ATT gold 6 plus ordered 9-13 at 8 am EST
orignal dates were 10-13 to 10-30. Apple changed my delivery to 2-day and delivery dates became 10-10 to 10-17. Waiting for an update as to delivery time now.

It's very simple...you can answer, or just skip over.

Mine was also changed to 10/6, very-very frustrating!

Thank you kindly for the clarification.
Interesting as I haven't seen that thread, and searches yeilded null. Now, I have seen post in the 10/1-10/6 batch thread where UPS was advising members of such; however, nothing set in stone.

Anyone seeing updated info. on their package(s)? Please find my info. attached below:

Yep mine says pretty much the same thing but my last stop was:
ZhengZhou, China 9/30 @ 5:15pm departure scan
And my delivery estimate was 10/2 Thursday, then early this morning around 4:00am it changed to 10/3 Friday, then around 7:00am it changed to 10/6 Monday!!!! Can u believe this!?!?!? What the heck??? This is making me so mad lol!!!! What the he** was the point in our packages sitting in China for 4 days?? Dang and I ordered my husbands and my phone on 9/12 @ 6am and I've seen other people ordered after us and they've either already gotten their phones or going to get them before us!! This system is all backwards!!!
Btw I ordered 2 iphone 6 plus in silver (Verizon)
Ordered 9/15 est date was 10/14-10/21
64gb 6+ grey.
My Amex is not showing charged yet so I guess I'll be waiting 24 hours for them to charge it and ship it out?
Well I wake up to UPS moving my delivery date yet again, incompetent! So, initially i was given a delivery date of 10/1, then 10/2, then 10/3 and this morning 10/6. Also, I have two departure scans from zhengzhou, China. It's almost laughable at this point. UPS sucks!!!!!!!

Anyone else order late in the game? I ordered on the 27th a few days at the local AT&T store and mine is in preparing for shipping and estimated ship dates of 11/5-14. On my receipt it says economy freight shipping though, not sure what that means. I hope it's priority overnight like when I ordered through premier for my regular 6. Anyone else?
My date moved from delivery on 10/2 to 10/6, but I finally have movement out of ZhangZhou. It seems I have skipped the Shanghai step and my 6+ is now in Incehon, Korea. Yours might do the same. I was looking forward to having it this week, but at least my Monday won't be so bad.
