Has anyone moved to "preparing to ship" with a 6+ 64GB AT&T Space Gray model today? Yesterday, it seemed this particular configuration was slow to move to "prepare to ship".
 
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.

Doesn't work for all. Doesn't work for me :-(
 
preparing for shipment

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?

Once you get the 'preparing for shipment' status it means it will be shipped within 24 hours. Coming from China with Express Saver. You will get it next Thursday or Friday. 100% no later than that. Good luck.

Based on what's going on in this thread today I would say you have a good shot at getting by the end of next week.
 
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.

for my fellow 'murkins... 0.50kg is a little over a pound... definitely a phone and not a case.

Yes. I had a delivery date of Sept 28 to Oct 2 but have an email from Apple saying it's being delivered in Monday .
 
Why do some people have expedited shipping and some express? I know some people called in and complained and got their dates bumped a bit but that can't be the explaination, can it? Is there some other factor?

I have a delivery date of 9/25. I ordered a 6+, 128gb ATT from Apple.com that went through a 2:52AM CT on 9/12.

I have the saver shipping and did not contact apple to expedite.
 
Mine didn't work either with the phone number I put in the Apple Account. It worked with the number I have on file at AT&T though. Weird.

just sign up for ups my choice. it'll give you the option to sign up through your Facebook acct. It's the easiest way...

Mine went to "Preparing for Shipment" more than 24 hours ago - no indications that it has been shipped. Haven't officially been charged, don't see it on the UPS tracking, not listed as "shipped" on Apple...

iPhone 6+ Space Gray 64gb on Verizon... says it should arrive on the 25th.
 
Is anyone still stuck in processing? I am :(. Starting to get worried :(

I am in the same unfortunate boat as a few of you- 64GB AT&T Plus Space Gray and still in processing. No preparing to ship, no charge to my credit card, no phone on the support page, and no UPS tracking info. sometimes it's not good to be in the 1%.

Im in the same exact boat as you, my shipment delivery date was moved up to 9/25, but it still shows Oct. 1-6 on Apple site. You can check your actual shipping delivery date by going to the UPS website, go to Tracking, use Track by Reference and use your phone number as the reference number. Hope that helps.

Welcome aboard that boat. It's become the unicorn of the new iPhone.

I dont understand how UPS can have an update before Apple does?? I thought the process was apple would notify and add to support profile then hand it off to UPS for tracking info??? Seems like this is ass backwards from the typical...

Uh yeah, that's not true. I've been in "Preparing to ship" since 9/13.

..and what does that do for you???? Can I make changes to the delivery method?? Not sure what the added benefit is to do this..
 
what are the benefits?

If need be, have the delivery rescheduled to when you'll be home or held at a UPS Access Point or UPS Store at no additional cost. Depending in where you are, yo may be able to schedule a confirmed 2-hour delivery window as well.
