Just days after iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus pre-orders began shifting to "Preparing for Shipment" status on the Apple Online Store, several customers in the United States and abroad have received notice that the smartphones are now shipping from China for estimated delivery on September 25.

iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus pre-orders have been shipped by both Apple and carriers such as Verizon and T-Mobile. Most devices are scheduled for overnight shipping next Thursday, meaning that customers should begin receiving their new iPhones on Friday morning, the same day the smartphones launch in twelve countries.

Apple requires that couriers such as UPS and FedEx in the United States hold iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus deliveries until September 25, but in years past some lucky customers have received their device slightly earlier. Meanwhile, New York City and Philadelphia residents could face delays due to Pope Francis visiting next week.

iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus pre-orders began on September 12 at 12:01 AM Pacific in the United States, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Singapore and the United Kingdom. Most iPhone 6s Plus and Rose Gold models are now estimated to ship in 3-4 weeks or later.

There still remains the option of standing in line at an Apple Store for a chance to purchase a specific iPhone model on launch day, but expect long lines at most locations. The new iPhones go on sale September 25 at 8:00 AM local time on a first come, first served basis for customers without reservations.

I thought that was always the case[?]

I have shipping confirmation, tracking number, serial and IMEI numbers, and the phones are due at my house on September 25th, but after I placed my order last [early] Friday morning with Verizon, my confirmation email (received at 3:03a EST) indicated 'Deliver By 09/25/2015'.
 
I ordered my iPhone 6s+ [Space Grey] 10min after launch. Today i checked and it is showing.
Preparing for Shipment:
We are preparing your item(s) to ship. While your order is being prepared, we are unable to modify your order details. Once your item ships, we will email you a Shipment Notification with complete order details.
So Those of you that have a tracking number assigned. Good on you. I'll have to wait a little bit longer for my consignment.
 
Is there a way to track with Reference and if so what info is necessary?

Is there a way to track with Reference and if so what info is necessary?

I just looked at my shipment info on ups and a number of reference numbers are listed; ranging from my home phone number (billing card?) and the Apple order number. So you may be able to track the shipment down if its out there.
 
My order status from Apple still shows "Preparing for Shipment". However, when I log into my UPS My Choice account it shows a delivery on 9/25 from Apple and provides the shipping number. If you have a UPS My Choice account, I suggest you hop on there and check for a scheduled delivery.
 
So glad I get a break from all this stress/excitement this year by switching out of the S cycle. Hope you guys enjoy it though!
