Check the 'Shipped By' section on the right side of the UPS page. I think those with 'UPS Worldwide Expedited' have their deliveries scheduled for the 25th, and those with 'UPS Worldwide Express Saver' are getting them earlier. I personally have 'Expedited' and am getting it Thursday.

Mine says saver. Delivery date is Mon 9/22 originally 9/23.
 
Ok as a 5th grade math teacher, this is driving me nuts:

1000g = 1KG

iPhone 6+ =172g
172 g = 0.172Kg

0.5Kg package for a 0.172g phone seems totally appropriate.

Class dismissed.

Thank you for this information, that last sentence should be:

Not trying to be a smartass, just wanted to help.

You might as well of not said anything lol, it sounds pessimistic.
 
Well since all I'm seeing is droves of people talking about gaining tracking information and receiving their phones next week, I cant help but ask, is there anyone else other than myself that is still in preparing for shipment but has been unsuccessful in receiving any information via the UPS reference tracking method? I ordered a 16GB Verizon 6+ Space Grey (2:25PST on the 12th)

EDIT: I should also add that while I changed to preparing with everyone else in this thread early yesterday, the money has been charged but is marked as processing for me on my bank page.

I cannot get mine to showup either. I got a "Reservation" from Apple around 3:30am EST and completed it as soon as i got the email the next morning. Oct 1-6 estimate and my order is in Preparing for Shipment. I also cannot get it to showup using order number minus last 2 digits nor my phone number with or without country and zip :-(
 
Summary?

Hate to be "that guy", but I've been preoccupied the last couple days trying my luck in line at the Apple Store (came up fruitless). Fortunately, I have a preorder scheduled with the Oct 1-6 camp. My order status says "preparing for shipment" while my card says the charge is currently "pending".

Can anyone summarize the last 100 or so pages for me? Do I have a shot at getting my phone early? How do we check UPS?
 
Yeah, that doesn't seem to work for me either.

Mine was too, try tracking at UPS by reference with your order number and take out the last 2 numbers of your order number and put your zip code, I was able to find it that way.

Yes. Nearly everyone in the Oct 1-6 shipment group will be getting their phones early to middle of next week. You can track your shipment on the UPS website using your phone number in the reference tracking page.
