Sounds like that status is the same as "ready for UPS" which means it's still at the factory, not yet picked up by UPS. Still, you should be able to look up your tracking by reference to keep tabs on its progress.
As for getting it as quickly as you can - how close is your UPC Customer Centre to you? If they have morning hours, you may be able to pick it up on your way to work - or snag it on your way home after work if they receive the package mid-day on Friday. You'll need to change the delivery to have them hold it at the CC to do that.

I already have my tracking number. I just noticed Apples website says it will be delivered on the 16th, but UPS says the 13th by end of the day. I’m still hoping for a miracle and it gets delivered Friday

This is current status

Origin Scan is UPS - they've scanned it on the dock at the factory in ZhengZhou. So, it's now in their custody.

They have planes flying these routes all of the time - I think the only delay is whether Apple's told them to wait for more skids before they ship - which we've seen regularly. Hopefully it gets moving for you today - I know how frustrating it can be - seeing your shiny new toy sitting on the tarmac in China....taunting you. :)
 
============================

Overnight my order status changed from preparing to ship to shipment is on the way way with email from Apple confirming this at 1:37 AM Central time. Delivery date stated as the 16th. 9 days to get to DFW??? I think they are sandbagging a bit. Good luck to all the 17-24s

I just checked status and it has moved from preparing to ship to shipped. Delivery date now set for Monday the 13th. :D

Original date was December 11-18. Changed to November 16-24. Yesterday it went to Preparing for Shipment. Now it has Shipped and it will deliver on 11-13. So I pretty much bumped up a month!
 
So looks like my iPhone X will be delivered on Monday 13 by end of day. However, I'm going to Europe that day in the afternoon.

Anybody know whether it's possible to intercept the delivery at the relevant UPS Logistics point before it goes out on the truck?
Have the package held as a will call so you can pick it up before it goes out in the morning.. it's best to call ahead of time and don't just walk in and think you are going to walk out really quick
[doublepost=1510057126][/doublepost]Mine shipped yesterday and is going to be delivered today had a flight delay but still coming today.

Which configuration did you order? Did you pay in full or via IUP?
 
Very strange,, this morning my order went to "running" and now it's back to pre order estimated 11/10/2017 12/01/2017 , like it was before,,, what does running mean and when will it go out? I don't think my card has been charged yet either ,,
 
I ordered 256gb Space Grey in IUP. This is my 3rd year of the upgrade program.

3rd year for me also... I will never pre order again with Apple!

There should be a special window for people on the Apple upgrade program to upgrade when a new phone comes out instead of having to go through a crazy pre approval process that already takes a lot of time and than wait 2-4 weeks for a phone.
 
Shipped 11/6. Delivers 11/10. I was a 17-24 customer with a W49 order.

Same, except that I’m a W59.

Where is your phone currently in tracking??

iPhone X silver 256GB ATT next plan, my iPhone has been shipped finally!!

I know I should be happy though because my iPhone was supposed to be delivered by Nov 17- 24, but for some reason I’m just angry lol my delivery date is Monday Nov 13th. When my status changed to preparing for shipment yesterday I was think maybe I would receive it by Friday and be able to enjoy my new device over the weekend, but I guess that’s not gonna happen.

How accurate is that delivery date? Any chance it may change?

This is ridiculous. Apple bumps you up a possible almost 2 weeks and you are still angry. You’re the type of person Android owners make fun of.

I guess you didn’t see my “lol” of course I’m not really angry! It’s just a phone, I’m just impatient. Stop worrying so much what android owners say.

256 SG IUP W559 finally shipped. Apple saying it will be delivered by the 16th. UPS says by the 13th. I would love it by the 10th, but that probably just wishful thinking.
 
UPS status just changed ;):)

I totally agree with you, I also purchased in full no upgrade and apple says oh well there is no way to expedite shipping, yet some received two day expedited shipping and the rest of us are stuck in OIP mode with nothing more. I have chatted with apple several times and even been disconnected by them.
 
Ordered via Apple App. 3:24am Verizion PIF 256g Silver. Order # W469...

No Movement!

11/17-11/24 delivery
Same here. No movement at all. Ordered via Apple web site because the Apple Store App was giving me issues, 11/17-11/24, AT&T Silver 256, at 3:11a ET, order #W415.

I've also been checking Apple Store and AT&T store stock in the Atlanta area and there's zero inventory available for a walk-in order.
 
My Verizon IUP SG 256GB with 11/17-11/24 date was shipped this morning, but still has delivery date of 11/16 as of right now.
 
Well got the phone last night and finally have it all set up. I will say it is an amazing phone. I love everything about it and have yet to see Face ID fail. But I really miss the size of the 7plus. I will give it another day or two but I may consider returning it and waiting for the rumored xplus. But other than that no complaints the phone is incredible! Hopefully everyone gets there’s soon!
