Order Status Changed To SHIPPPPED !!!!! Yes!!!!! Charged today iphone 6 plus SG 64gb oh yea order on September 12th , wooo! Still no stupid tracking info but lil progress like this has me hype
 
So how does the process work? The flights come and unload pallets of iPhones, who puts the shipping labels on the packages?

Great question! When the iPhones ship from China they come to the UPS Global Operation Center in Louisville, KY. Within our own facility Apple has there own warehouses that we have limited to no access to. Labels are put on there and whatever else goes on there is kinda secret and Apple does not share with us. (It's very strange) Anyway, Apple then releases the devices to us and we ship. Thats pretty much it.

They put shipping labels on all carriers?

lol it's like Area 51!!! That's crazy! So they have their own section and they handle their own stuff and u guys just ship them for them?
 
This is hopefully the conclusion to my story:
After having two 9/12 orders cancelled for unknown reasons (to me or T-Mobile), one immediately, and the other after a week, I re-ordered over the phone on 9/20 and just got a tracking number tonight (new customer order status page showed it first, then I got an email about an hour later). They gave me free overnight shipping during the phone re-order, so I assume I'll either get the phones tomorrow or Friday at this point, but UPS shows nothing yet for that number.

Order:
6 64GB SG
6 16GB Silver
6 16GB SG x 2
