Not to worry. In past big Apple releases I've seen orders stay in processing until one day before launch. It just depends on where "your" phone ships from. Some will come direct from China while other from a U.S. warehouse. The U.S. based phone ship last.
Not to worry... I've had 3 phones ship direct from the factory at launch... left the factory ~24-36 hours before it was in my hands. Quite remarkable, really.
All I'm interested in is WHEN it will be delivered. The date is set for me (9/19), but I want to know when I should expect it.
I read a couple of people say 8am and I've read a couple of people say 7pm. That's a huge difference, especially if you work and don't want the package delivered to your door with no one able to answer.
Is anyone else getting the same message?
I think this may be more dependent on your regional local, or local carrier. I've noticed for instance in my area UPS tends to come after 3PM, and Fed Ex often times come before.
To the OP,
Processing, Delivery on 9/19
