Apple didn’t have enough courage to pay for more package amount limit.

based on your image, i'm hoping this is all a glitch... because the top 3 lines of your status are identical to the first 3 of mine... meaning your phone is 12+ hours ahead of mine, so hard to see why that could not be delivered by friday.
You have to pay for it, but its available. They should do this as a service now. But, they are saying everything is still on time.
I think UPS's tracking system is having a few hiccups. My Series 4 shows "Rescheduled Delivery" of 9/21/2018. This was always the delivery date. I believe UPS will come thru for those showing a delay. 
If it was FedEx...
First world problem for sure...but, it sucks when someone crashes the party.

Same with mine. I'm not sure how you could reschedule it from the 21st to the 21st, but I'm good with that.
I wish they didn't have these big delivery days on a Friday. I'm waiting on the new Apple Watch, and am basically stuck here all day. If I miss it, then I have to wait until Monday for redelivery, as the depots here close on the weekend (probably the case everywhere).
Release them on any other weekday, so people can get them redelivered the next day if they miss it.
I get that there's a lot of prep behind the scenes with such a big lot of deliveries going out at once, so the carriers don'y want to work on a weekend to prep for that. But surely they could easily go out on a Wednesday or even a Thursday instead.
I also get a Friday release means that the die hards can get their things on the Friday, and that the stores can also have a bumper weekend.
But far out it's frustrating sitting around waiting for something like this to arrive, knowing that if I miss it, then it's three freaking days before I can get it again. Yes, I'm impatient, but people who are in the market for one of these on launch day have most likely already been waiting for ages anyway, watching the rumours, etc.

I ordered mine minutes after the site went live and my delivery date was Friday for the 256gb XS until about an hour ago, when it shifted to Monday. Also currently located in AK.
Been trying to get an Apply rep in chat to speak to this, but am left hanging on the connection phase.

Well, crap. I had two phones (me and wife) and a watch (mom) coming tomorrow, now my wife's phone isn't coming til Monday. Imma be in trouble if UPS can't fix this.
APPLE ACTUALLY EXPECTS ME TO USE THIS OLD iPhone X FOR 3 MORE DAYS ...
I dont see how the iPhones goes from Alaska to PA in one day..maybe carrier pigeon..hope you get it tomorrow!
I got that same notice, but then an email stating the new delivery window is 10/2-10/5
Hoping for a major glitch!

You can pre-sign for the delivery of both the iPhone XS and Apple Watch S4. Look at your order on Apple’s website. The button for pre-sign information is next to the track shipment button
Same here I got an iPhone XS Space Gray 256GB really hoping it comes tomorrow for me and everyone here!
Yes, I understand that this is pretty much the epitome of a first world problem, but that doesn't mean it's not frustrating.
It's about 8 hours 36 mins non stop to Philly, UPS' east coast regional hub. I hope I get it! Are you also scheduled for tomorrow?
In all my years, UPS has been - by far - the least dependable courier of them all. Constant "delivery exceptions" - always when it's warm, sunny and without traffic incidents - damaged packages, and packages delivered to the wrong address. Every time I place an order online I say a little prayer that they are not the courier.
Thankfully my iPhone Xs is coming via FedEx. Then again, they haven't been much better in my experience. I pray for us all to get our deliveries before the weekend.

I’m so pissed, my shipment just left Alaska after going from China l then to Korea, then to Alaska, now shows rescheduled to Monday.

Ok so I have this same issue, my XS now says by end of day Monday, but what is really interesting is that my Apple Watch has also changed and it now says by end of Sept. 20, today. Something is obviously messed up.
I think it’s just computer issues. I had one (of three, two phones, one AW) showing the loop from Alaska to Kentucky and back earlier. That one now shows ‘rescheduled’ for Friday. Which was the date it always had.
Another shows the Monday date. The third now has no date. Earlier today all had Friday. And really doubt there are ‘too many’ items being shipped, not too much different from last year.
Now if something really shows Monday, I’ll be pissed as I’m not home then.
Didn’t a few things get delayed one year and UPS/FedEx deliver Saturday?

I’m pretty sure this isn’t a contract issue with Apple and UPS. They ship opening weekends with UPS every year. Likely a glitch. If your phone isn’t in Louisville by midnight pacific time then I’d worry. I’ve had deliveries on time even after they don’t leave Alaska til late afternoon or evening the day before.
Lmaooo! This is the best comment I’ve seen on this page in a while.
