I can actually confirm this as I called to inquire about it this morning. Wanted to mentally prepare myself for a lengthy ship time just in case. The rep said they're getting them out as fast as possible.

Wow! That's great. Now I can't wait.....
 
I had an estimated delivery date of 10/9 -10/14 and it's been updated today to preparing for shipment. If the shipping is expedited, how many business days would that be? Thanks.

If it actually ships today, there's a decent chance that it'll be delivered on Friday. But assume it's going to arrive next Monday.
 
qwertydh, I totally thought you were posting to say that yours had shipped. This is torture. lol.

Not even showing on UPS. Funny thing, my leather case just arrived....

One thing about the case, I actually got the shipping notification from Apple like 12 hours after the order was processed by UPS. It didn't show in ups.com before that, but it was already in transit.

Yeah, a few people have said the same. Are you checking UPS via reference AKA your phone number? That's what I've been doing and I want to make sure it's correct.

Yes, phone # and zip code. I know it's that way, because my case appears in the results.
 
My iPhone 6 16GB gold shipped today and will be delivered Friday! It had an original delivery date of 10/07. Yippee!

I'm still waiting on a 6 16GB Slate Gray that was ordered the same day
(09/14).

Lucky! I just checked my bank account and my credit card was charged. I'm still "Preparing for Shipment" so fingers crossed it ships today!
 
This thread is for us suckers who likely didn't order on launch day. I'm tired of checking my order status only to see it's still unchanged, immediately followed up with a feeling of deep-seeded loneliness whilst wondering how many others are with me. Let's post our sorrows and, eventually, our joys within this thread.

I ordered a 64GB VZW iPhone 6 in Space Gray on 9/16. Available to ship: 7- 10 business days, delivers: Oct 3 - Oct 8. Order is still processing. Fingers crossed for some early movement today or tomorrow.

youre not a sucker, im the sucker i ordered on opening day at 5 am and im not getting it till 10/6!
 
How the hell....

trust me ive called apple 3 times and yelled at them and they give me the same BS im sure they give everyone. apple wouldnt piss on my face if my teeth were on fire. i hope they go bankrupt and nokia takes over the world!
 
Come on Apple! Ship the phone! Then I will stop this DDoS attack to your order status page.

I've been checking the order status page as well. I was expecting a 3 week wait but once it updated to preparing for shipment, I've been anxious!! I'm just hoping that it isn't too big because I have small hands #

Yeah man thats so weird... I would be pretty pissed!

Seriously. WTF. It's been "Preparing for Shipment" for almost an entire day. That may not seem like a lot, but when you're stalking the order status page....it's a lot.

If we get lucky and they ship tomorrow, we probably won't get them until Monday. Although...it'll make Monday a whole lot more bearable. Haha.
 
Yeah, mine shipped too. UPS isn't showing anything for that tracking #, so I can't see the estimated delivery. Now let's DDoS ups.com \o/
 
For those that are waiting till October for their 6, you should cancel your order and just go to a local Apple Store. Every single Apple store near me has the 6 in stock. 6+ is another story

Depends on where you live. Our Apple stores still have long lines of scalpers because we don't have sales tax and they are snapping up any stock they may get in each day. I check Apple every night at midnight for availability and it never shows any stock in any color or gb's. It's sad :(
