Mine is held up in China, so my guess is they're waiting on the 10/14-10/21 to transition to ship and send them all at once.

I hope this would be the case. Because as far as I see it those who ordered a t-mobile iphone 6 plus hasn't seen any movements like me 🙁
 
Would anybody be kind enough to throw some light for the timeline of each stage of the shipment? It seems it will be a touch and go for me as I have a flight to catch on the 8th of October and my estimated delivery still shows - Processing October 14-21st. Don't know whether to cancel or stick with the order.

Ordered mine on September 12th around noon. Just got a tracking number at 2 am eastern. Delivery scheduled for October 6th.

AT&T 6 plus 128 gig space gray
 
Ordered my AT&T iphone 6 Plus 16gb space grey on launch day at 9:30am PST and it shipped out from China this morning.
 
I ordered a 6 on 9/24 for delivery on 10/13-20 something. Got an email from Apple early this morning saying shipment is on it way delivers on 10/6. Tracked it with the UPS tracking number provided and it says by 4:45 on 10/2 !!

sweet, I ordered my 6 on 9/24 also so far mine still says preparing to ship hope to get a tracking # as soon as you did
 
Ordered Silver 128gb 6+ on the 12th around 9am. Just got my tracking info this morning. 😀

According to Apple delivery (Mid-west US) is set for October 6. I'm betting it will be a bit earlier than that however unless they are shipping them via sherpa.
 
My status changed yesterday to preparing for shipment, now it´s shipped and UPS scheduled delivery: 9/29 (apple said 9/7 - 9/9 ).
I'm so happy 😀😀😀
 
I saw my status changed when I woke up this morning. They start shipping and gave me the track no., shipping from China. Gonna hv iPhone 6 next week 😎
 
Not sure if anyone else had AT&T enter in the phone number "1111110001" as their home phone, but using the UPS track by reference technique above, I see a lot of iPhones starting to get ready to leave China and go nationwide.

I'm not yet on there, but my 6+ Silver 64GB just went to Preparing for Shipment, ordered at 11pm EST on 9/12.

Actually At&t/Apple added this to a separate line on my address.
1111111111

It may be an order number of some sort did you order before 9pm on sept 12th?

when the status changes do you get an new email or are you just clicking the order number on the original email to see the status?

In my case, I have the Apple Store app set to notify me so I received a notification on my phone this morning that my order had shipped. I ordered on 9/12 around 4AM Pacific and it went to Preparing for Shipment yesterday (64GB Gold 6 Plus on AT&T).

Same for me!! 😀 Believe me, I have been searching for either phone locally since released and there are none to be had. Had to order online, so I was happy that it was shipped early. Will see what the 6S+ will be like next year and maybe upgrade to that one next.

I was in the October 13 - 20th mine just shipped out real early this morning... I think everyone will get there's a lot earlier than predicted, I've done a lot of researching plus the same thing happens every year... 😀

thanks I noticed mine was preparing for shipping yesterday at around 2pm EST so 23 hours ago, feeling positive it will change pretty soon based on everyones replies

Does yours say "Ready for UPS", or does it actually say shipped?
