Even Amazon's cutoff for next day orders is in like 3:30 hours so unless you get shipping tracking before that and the phone is actually in the US at the time I doubt it.
Got a tip for us?

This is the key. IF there was a chance for 9/19 delivery we'd most likely have tracking numbers (or at least be able to track by Reference numbers) today.
I don't necessary think he's lying to us, however. The Apple rep very well could have said that. I'm sure customer reps get some laughs out of things like this.
Anything is possible, but I'm not holding my breath.
As mentioned many times - If you are getting a phone tomorrow it will be listed in your support profile:
http://supportprofile.apple.com
If you are in the US, it will most likely be listed under UPS.com, Tracking > Track by Reference, then enter the primary telephone number for the account.

I'll say this, clearly phones have been in the USA before the preorder went live. Airlines already shipped and were placed in the states warehouses. How can you tell this? Because when Apple said 8.0.1 will be released soon after the release of the phone to fix some minor bugs. That indicated that the phones had already been packed up with the GM of IOS 8. I'm not saying they have a ton of phones but clearly more then what you see as far as being shipped say.
But I've yet to see my 6+ 126GB SG move since day 1, preparing to ship and that's it. So I have already decided it's gonna be October 1st release for me.

I live in Los Angeles and I don't remember any of my orders going through all those pit stops. I think time-wise, some of my orders got to me like 20 hours from leaving China.
The onus is on nobody. If you choose not to believe the post that is okay. Many of us are in this same boat. I am hopeful to see it much sooner than October 1st. I will also say that my experience with the 5S in white w/ gold for my wife last year came well ahead of what Apple originally quoted. It even came via China in one day. I hope my 6+ works out to be the same experience.
If the iPhones are already in the United States, this is most certainly possible. You can go order something from Amazon.com right now with overnight delivery. You won't receive your tracking number until late into the evening, and you'll get it bright and early tomorrow.
The story itself is extremely extraordinary and hard to believe. The lack of tracking numbers is not a smoking gun.
amazon. . . seriously?
Who cares about Amazon cut-off? This is an APPLE LAUNCH, they have a contract that will make UPS work 24 hours a day for a month. Just for them. You really think they are cut-off times during an Apple launch???

They definitely go to Anchorage. Nothing from China gets into the US without a customs check in Anchorage. At least Apple stuff does. After Anchorage, it may depend on where you live where it goes next.
Half my Apple stuff -- including my iPhone 5 and iPad 3 -- aren't listed there.
It's not about not having a tracking number....It's about not being in the system at all...
I've seen my wife's phone w/ 9/19 delivery by using UPS track by reference 3 days before I ever got a shipping notification w/ a tracking number from
My point is if it was going to be on your doorstep tomorrow you would at minimum be able to track by reference using your phone number or see it in your support profile by now....You are only setting yourself up for disappointment if you tell yourself otherwise...
I don't know about this.. I got my 5S from the Apple online store and it still isn't listed a year later..
Not saying I expect anything tomorrow though, because I don't.
I'd say it's safe to assume that if your credit card hasn't been charged or even pending charge, then you're still on pace for October 1-6
Unfortunately

I am space gray 64 Gb ordered at 2 PST and my card has been charged and status changed. I am with Verizon though
I hate to see people play with people who are waiting for positive feedback and just sitting ducks waiting for someone to pull something like this. It happens every year they get your hopes up and then you are let down hard. I would love to see something like this but don't really think it will happen. If you believe it - you will be in for a huge let down.
That being said, if it did happen (odds are 10-1 against) it would be Early Christmas indeed!!!
Yep, most likely ups and fedex allocated their resources to 90/10.... 90% for apple lol..
So I just checked UPS and when I put in my number under reference code and mail innovations something now shows up but no details? Any one know what this means?
My husband has confirmation his is coming on 9/19 and he has the same info under mail innovations. Mine I ordered from apple with a oct 1-6 date.
Maybe tomorrow is a possibility?
