I really think we are going to get surprised, and will have our phones by tomorrow evening. This happened 2 years ago exactly. They didn't have stock until the major shipment hit our local departure/scanning center, and everything is going into full swing today. If we are getting Shipping Prep, they most likely have an iPhone ready at dispatch near your home. Can't wait yo!!!! No matter what, we are definitely getting our phones within 3 business days
Not sure it will happen that soon. But it should be next week now for sure. In 3 business days . well maybe the soonest if shipped later today could arrive to our houses by Tuesday at the earliest but more likely Wed or Thurs and for sure by latest by Friday next week.
Mine is not on the support page yet. Neither of the 2 iPhone 6 Pluses that I ordered. But it is preparing for shipment with a original delivery date of Oct 1-6th.
Also noticed my bank credit card has a "pending" transaction for what I paid. Sweet! I'm out of here tomorrow for the weekend so doesn't matter to me if I get it launch day but super excited it looks like it will be before the Oct 1-6 date. Would be awesome if gets dropped off here tomorrow and I have it when I get back this weekend but I highly doubt that'll happen.
My 6+ (ordered through Apple but it's GSM for T-Mobile) still says processing and no pending charge on my credit card yet 
October 1-6 is looking pretty clear to me, unfortunately

If the phones were in the States already at a processing center, and if they had received a big shipment and were going to be able to fill more pre-orders...it would be possible, but I find this scenario to be unlikely.
It's more likely that Foxconn got another big batch off the assembly line and they are being processed for shipping to individuals right now and by tomorrow we'll have tracking numbers.
I would say the best possible scenario for us would be Saturday/Monday. Saturday is a hail mary long shot, IMO.
Ordered through the Apple Store App at 4:24am CDT
Space Gray/6+/64gb/verizon
Delivery Oct 1-6 and now says preparing for shipment.
Earlier this week I had a pending charge from apple for $1 and that dropped off. Now have a pending charge for full amount. Still nothing for my order on UPS.com tracking by reference.
....Chuck Norris just picked up his iPhone 6+ from the UPS distrib center....

Use Tracking REFERENCE number. Enter your phone number as reference. There's a couple threads on this board with better instructions. This usually gives you info before you get an official tracking number (apparently).
Didn't work for me (not Yet anyway)
Okay just wondering, thanks. As I've said, my total at checkout was $0, so there's probably no sort of charge involved during the process.
I was charged the sales tax before the apple.com website changed. I received an email from AMEX about 30 minutes prior.
Oops. Never mind. Forgot I put my case on that credit card as well. So the only charge I have from the phone order is that pending $1 from the 11th.
Yeah, you are right, most likely Monday or even Tuesday at the earliest. But I have been wrong before.
Ordered at 5:50am CST last Friday and mine still only says Processing and I have no charge on my credit card
iPhone 6+ base model for T-Mobile....

Ugh, my card still hasn't been charged and my order is still processing. I just want to see some change in my order to put my mind at ease
Well I just woke up and checked my status and saw that it now says "Preparing for Shipment"...
Preparing for Shipment Available to ship: 7- 10 business days
Delivers: Oct 1 - Oct 6 by Standard Shipping
Not eligible to cancel or return Why?
The iPhone still does not show up on my support profile page. But my CC was charged full amount.
So now if I wanted to camp out and get it for tomorrow I can't
I wish it was updated to 9/19/14 delivery date.

You might want to try selling it. You may make a profit from someone who doesn't care about money but has to have it right now...
But yes you can also return it.
Don't remember what time it was when I got through on apple website, but ordered Iphone + space gray 64GB. Changed to preparing for shipment for me.
Thank goodness!
In the past I have always got a pending charge on my CC the day it ships out, so I am betting they will be shipped from either China or Louisville (if lucky) today or tomorrow.
