A poster who works in the shipping biz says that if you schedule it early you won't have a problem. YMMV.
Got a tip for us?

I had the same thing happen to me. Apple didn’t send out tracking info until the morning hours of the Friday I received my phone last year.
Yep, right here. I rarely use a case. I keep a clear case in my vehicle in the event that I'm somewhere like, say, a high school football game where there's lots of people jostling and concrete, but I take it off as soon as I'm back in the car.
Ya as long as it doesn't have to be re routed to a different hub. Holding at the CC won't delay as long as you hold at the CC where your local truck is loaded because they just pull it for hold when loading.
Joining the party again this year. Gold 256gb AT&T Pro Max. Order went through at 5:02am. Nothing yet on ups. Just checking every 15 minutes like a lunatic today and hoping to see anything to add some excitement in my life. 
This is what most people in this forum will look like from now until their phone gets delivered.
Nope, still no UPS or final charges on my card. Pending charge still showing. Ordered a gold 11 pro max and a red 11 @6 minutes after and confirmed launch day delivery. I’m not far from Louisville that could be the reason. Not worried yet.
Ya like you think it would be in their best interest to say its shipped. If you weren't crazy like us and didn't know how to look you would be freaking out a bit thinking its supposed to arrive Friday and they wait until 3AM to ship it.
I found people close to Louisville tend to be the later in the bunch and come in last. Still no charge on my Apple Card but pending charge has remained since Friday AM. I don't know that it will clear on a weekend anyway though I haven't had any charges clear on a Saturday or Sunday.

Welcome back to the psycho circus lol
Based on your other post do you work for Speck by chance?I’m going to need to verify your review results
Nah. I’m just some twerp who feels the need to sample every case known to man with my own money lol.
Ok okay, not ALL.... just a lot...

I’ll have a Grip here tomorrow. It’s typically a all around solid case for the monies.
Yep I love the grip I've had one on every iPhone since the 4S they hold up well.I’ll have a Grip here tomorrow. It’s typically a all around solid case for the monies.
My Choice is the only way I know my phone shipped. I’ve tried the ups track reference site with many combinations of my phone number and the order number and nothing. Strange. Date Range from the 13th to today. I know I don’t need to check it now but I’m just feeling stupid for not being able to figure it out. Just another crazy thing to try while waiting for my other phones to ship out.
It’s been the same for me over three different generations of iPhones in launch week. Apple will show preparing for shipment while I can see its progress from China to Alaska via UPS, then usually to Memphis. Once it arrives in Memphis, Apple will update to shipped. Then out for delivery once it arrives here in Northern California.
My guess is Apple does this on purpose because they have no control once it ships and arrives in its destination country...so they are very conservative...
