Nice. Boost still hasn’t notified me anything shipped. I ordered within 10 minutes of the release time.
 
Update:
Estimated delivery
UPS doesn’t have possession of the package yet. Estimated delivery date will be available as soon as we get the package.

Same, looks like Monday at earliest or Tuesday, depends if they count Saturday it appears they used second day delivery for mine and I purchased through boost mobile

Yep just noticed they did cheap out and used 2nd day air
 
I'm guessing they used air saver instead of air I can't tell because my tracking number doesn't work lol
The app shows second day air for mine but no movement past the label created stage. First time in years I tried going through a carrier. Now I remember why I stopped using them.

The other carriers already had their phones delivered today. It's just boost sadly. I don't even have label created yet my number just doesn't work at all.
 
Just received an email from Boost that my device shipped. UPS didn’t even tell me on UPS My Choice, how odd.

I'm still getting this on my choice and I received the tracking number last night. I really hope that I'm not the only one

Most likely the tracking numbers are not set to work until Monday I assume.

Kind of a bummer, Visible shipped a 16 Pro today and it was only ordered this morning. Delivery on Monday, meanwhile Boost might not ship until Monday. :/

The only hope we have left is if boost decides to send them tonight and hope for delivery tomorrow. The phone would have to be at your distribution center and since boost probably didn't pay for Saturday shipping, it's honestly gonna be up to how UPS feels.

What's so annoying is it's shipping from Indiana, and I'm in Wisconsin got the shipping notice 24 hours ago and nothing. Boost is..........

If it's coming from Indiana maybe if it gets to our cities by tomorrow morning we might get them tommorow since they're partnered with ups and they give partners special treatment. Other than that Monday sadly.
 
Looks like we aren't alone in our frustration

So my tracking finally works now it's on label created though but since it's coming from Indiana and not china, if they ship it out tonight it may or may not show up tomorrow. It still does depend on if it arrives in your city by early tomorrow morning and if your ups facility is trying to clear out some of their orders for Monday, they may decide to put your package on the Saturday truck. Given how high their volume must be right now there's a chance they might.

They cheaped out on 2nd day air they are not a priority for UPS I'm afraid. Would be surprised if he got them on Monday at this rate.

Yeah someone on reddit had their tracking updated and it says Tuesday this sucks.
 
Has anyone received the message "request return to sender received" after UPS finally has possession of the order?

As of 5am it’s at my local UPS distribution center. Now why couldn’t they have done this yesterday.
