I have a black iPhone 7 32gb sitting in Oakland, CA since this morning for delivery tomorrow in Seattle area. FedEx doesn't say but does anyone know if signature will be needed?
Hopefully we see tracking updates later tonight. Sorta pissed though

Wow i guess i should be pissed then if i ordered it that early.
i wasnt pissed but kinda getting there now... seeing everyone after me getting it already lol
Yeah lol. Ive been with ATT for so long too. I need some behind the scenes magic happening.
You and I have the same phones, both from the 'Burgh. Wonder if we'll get shipped at the same time?
I've been lurking the forums for a while decided to sign up and join the convo. Preordered 7+ 128gb in reg. black at 3:30 AM Pittsburgh time. 9/23-30 shipping window. Haven't heard anything since.
Wouldn't be too unreasonable to suggest that regional distribution centers are doing the processing hence why everything is all over the place.
As for the supply of these iPhones I did a bit of math to get a rough number of how many we may be dealing with. One report online suggests a 747 can carry 195k iPhones (6), if say 5 planes travel to Louisville every 12 hrs as we have seen, that's about 2 million a day (8 million from Monday-Thursday)... UPS FlightAware data for iPhone 7 goes back to Aug 31st, so if (and that's a big if) they've been shipping consistently since then 30 million iPhones potentially are in the US. I believe the 6 or 6s preorder was 13 million over 4 days (not sure) and if the reports are true about how big this preorder is, these figures might be like 16+ million...
TLDR there's a chance that they actually only have half the total supply they need for demand.... just my thoughts

If this make you all feel any better, I didn't get my 7+ 32gb Matte or my 7+128gb Matte ordered until Saturday afternoon! 
So to hear that you all that burned the Midnight oil(PDT) aren't getting them is really disheartening. I guess my original ship dates of Oct 7-14 are looking a little more likely.

Three more UPS flights are going into Dallas in the next few hours, maybe they are carrying most of the 128GB Matte Black Plus phones!
I ordered mine on Saturday and got a delivery window of October 7 to 14, but a few more late orders like mine have apparently shipped so that gives me hope.

Nope.. maybe we will be the last ones since there is a 1 day transit no matter what.
Majority of us have been sitting on, preparing to ship, since 9/9. Still awaiting shipping info.
Same for me, dates and all.
No change in status
Well maybe it is a regional thing and they haven't gotten to yours. If you're in Baton Rouge, we're only a couple hours from each other.
Nope, still waiting. But I've pretty much lost hope as my shipping dates are still showing 10/7-10/14. I'm just sticking around here because misery loves company
