I did, in store, after they cancelled my order twice, once on the 15th after pre order on the the 12th, and again on the 20th, went in the store to reorder for the the third time. Two phones (new lines if service) got the regular 6 gold today 64gb in the mail today. No unicorn phone though.
what i assume is probably once it lands in Louisville, based on what that UPS worker posted on here some pages back.
if i recall, i think he said they get separated at the apple warehouse there and then taken by the carriers, correct me if i'm wrong, its late lol

forget all that, got our answer above
Well I was charged the 24th early morning. Then today (25th) my label was created. It has no tracking points yet and a message that reads
"A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status will be updated."
The origin is Louisville on most labels/phones so I'm assuming that messages means its waiting for it be scanned & loaded on a truck or arrive there in Louisville?
*shrug*
1.20 lbs
Already confirmed that tracking with exec, the text tmo sent me, and what's listed on my tmo page. I know its not the router. Its for the iphone 6+ but it hasn't moved today yet, even though it says it was supposed to be delivered Friday. The woman on the phone earlier today said to watch it this weekend it should update and get delivered monday.
I have a 2nd label that hasn't moved since the 23rd for that thing, that is 3+lbs.
Hmm. So this could mean it gets to Louisville then people are charged. Then it's up to ups?
Well this is what my router went through today. My phone is only at the first scan.

Update: finally received my iPhone 6 Plus 16GB space grey.
-ordered 09/12 @ 5:32pm (located in California)
- no jump, EIP, online order.
- card got charged (pending payment) 09/24
-status was back ordered until yesterday 09/25
-received tracking 09/25 right before midnight. Phone was located in Kentucky.
-today the phone was in California out for delivery.
I hope this gives some hope to those out there. The first sign you will get is the pending charge on your bank account. From there expect to have your phone within two days. (Based of my experience)
Good luck!

Could be; my phone got to Louisville- I got charged, less than 24 hours later I got a label but they haven't scanned it to start the delivery process yet. They are probably getting slammed, so could explain that.
I haven't seen any TMO label tracking route show anything like alaska/china, only Louisville. So something happens there that sparks a charge/label creations. I guess its in the hands of how fast UPS is once the label is made. Because the woman at TMO called UPS for me and confirmed they just have the label done no movement yet.
Edit: And because they don't have Saturday delivery contracts I'm gonna guess this sucker won't update right away till closer to Monday, for a Monday delivery. (Baring any disasters)
The other night, the UPS guy said the plane arrives and it goes straight to the Apple warehouse in the UPS complex. Then they do their thing and UPS gets the packages already labeled ready to go out for delivery.
So I'm guessing the origin scan is when UPS gets it from Apple and the charge for the phone is well before that.
It's a '$200 Asis' wifi router with the latest ...ac band, like g or n before it, to help use Wifi instead of Tmo cell service, so it's their own interest to get you off their cell bands onto your wireless internet plan to free up Tno cell bandwidth. It's a free offer you just call and ask for, tho someone said offer ends 9-24, not sure if true.
Officially there is a $25 deposit fee they are waiving. Someone said you have to return the router if you leave TNobelieve. Like all things Tno, who knows for sure..
I ordered one a few days ago. no word on it, or tracking info...shocking I know..

But the weird thing is, when I got charged a ton of 16gb SG+ orders got charged and many of them received their phones today. But mine is still there, less than 3 hours away
Hey guys, I've been following this thread since page one and have read EVERY post - things are starting to get out of hand....
I can understand people who ordered during preorder weekend (on the 12th, 13th and to a lesser extent the 14th) being upset about delivery times and status updates as the iPhone didn't even appear on the site until about 3-4AM PST and when it did customers (New, non-Jump and ESPECIALLY JUMP!) could not order the phone due to their servers being overloaded. However, I see users who ordered Six Plus phones on the 19th asking and demanding for their accounts to be charged and shipped when users who preordered on the 12th are still not seeing charges and shipping labels!!!!! That's just RIDICULOUS!
Here are estimated wait times for your phones for those of you who ordered AFTER the 14th:
iPhone 6 - Supplies of these seem to be fairly high and they are showing up on Apple's store tracker as readily available for all colors and sizes. Expect a shipment within a week of placing your order.
iPhone 6 Plus - Supplies are heavily constrained and I never see devices on Apple's store tracker. Expect a shipment within 3-4 weeks of your order
I know that you're very excited to hold your new device - the new iPhones are AMAZING. But - BE PATIENT - ESPECIALLY if you ordered the Six Plus as those are currently under heavy supply constraints!!!
If you have questions, let me know and I'll be happy to answer them. I've been constantly checking multiple forums and supply availability at Apple and have a fairly good idea of what's going on.
TL;DR - If you ordered your iPhone after the 14th, you can expect ~1 week delivery time for the iPhone 6 and AT LEAST a 3-4 week delivery time for the iPhone 6 PLUS!

The woman seemed to infer they don't have it anymore once that label is made, then its in the hands of UPS. That once the label is made its in the homestretch of making it to you. Because that's why I called her, to see if they were holding up the phone from UPS still, and she said no. Grant it they can be lying once again.
I don't think it's lying as much as clueless lol. My router label was created on Tuesday and I got a tracking number from UPS. Then Wednesday morning I got another text from UPS saying "1Z3Vxxxxxxxx from T-MOBILE LDC UPGRADE not received yet. Updated delivery status provided when UPS receives package."
Then this morning it finally left Louisville and was delivered this afternoon.
