Is that noted on Apple.com? And no, it appears some 16GB are shipping from Addison.
 
Did anyone with a package originating in the US also buy an accessory from Apple? I'm showing a package coming from Addison IL but it may be my extra lightning cable...

My UPS tracking shows delivery by 10:30 AM, it is Worldwide Express.
 
Weird...I was the director of choirs at the high school in Addison, IL for 7 years! :p

I'm still stuck in "Preparing for Shipment." But I figure it'll ship when it ships. All I know is that I'm stoked for Friday!

Does anyone know if, in order to have UPS hold it at a UPS branch for me rather than being delivered, I just call the main UPS number? I've seen this process alluded to in some other threads, but no one's detailed the process.

Thanks!

Anyone still on Processing Items? I see the hold on my credit card but nothing has budged. Received the confirmation email @ 3:27EST It's for a Black 64GB CDMA.

If you sign up for UPS MyChoice, you can do it right through the website.

See: http://www.ups.com/mychoice/

You may be able to call and have it held, though I feel like generally they require one delivery attempt first.
 
Does anyone else have the incorrect amount of tracking numbers? I have 2 phones, and 4 tracking numbers. Nothing else ordered.
 
I ordered two phones, one is shipping via Worldwide Express, and the other is via Next-Day Air Saver. Delivery time for the Worldwide Express is by 10:30am, and the other is in the afternoon.

Am I correct in assuming that I'll receive both phones by 10:30am, since theoretically the same truck is delivering both?

This depends on your delivery address. Mine is at a workplace where we actually have 3 different UPS drivers that come at different times of the day. We have so many UPS deliveries, even in my single building, that one truck is not enough capacity to fill it many days.

If your address is a big business and the truck has so many early morning deliveries he has to focus on getting them done first, you'll get them at different times. On the other hand, if deliveries are light or you are at a small business or home, they'll probably get delivered together.

Status on apple's site is still preparing for shipment but ups says otherwise...

so how is it possible that itll take 5 days to go from TN to chicago?

EDIT: just realized it says it is being shipped by next day air saver, so im thinking theyre going to hold onto it until friday...if they reached a chicago branch does anyone think id be able to go and pick it up in case they were just going to hold onto it?

You know...you really shouldn't share your tracking info with the world. All you did is put a moveable black box ontop of the #

I feel like I'm the only one not in preparing for shipment :(. I order 3:15PST and have a delivery date for Sept. 21.

I'm still processing too...2:19am central. Don't worry.
