I'm seeing a lot of mentioning of overnight shipments, however I ordered on Saturday (6s+ 64GB SG) with the expected to ship by the 24th yet mine shows it's shipping ground when I load the tracking number.
Did I get screwed into shipping on time but getting it later in the week while you all get yours on launch day? I was told when ordering over the phone I'd get free expedited shipping but Ground isn't expedited anything.

I was told the same thing when i ordered my phone that at order i would get it overnight on date of release. but everything is subject to change.
Ground is usually 2-5 business days, and the max is usually from coast to coast. If they ship it out tomorrow, then you'll get Friday. There is no point really paying for T-Mobile to pay for overnight if UPS is just going to end up holding it until the 25th.I'm seeing a lot of mentioning of overnight shipments, however I ordered on Saturday (6s+ 64GB SG) with the expected to ship by the 24th yet mine shows it's shipping ground when I load the tracking number.

Perhaps, however teasing it and not having the option to even pay for that at request isn't exactly acceptable either lol. The point of pre-ordering early is to get it on the day it releases.
This is true, but that's assuming they ship it tomorrow and treat me like a special snowflake when others get the overnight treatment the day before.
Your move UPS.
[QUOTE="cariacou, post: 21900362, member: 468018"] They can't be shipping all from China right?
Postage would be 5x more expensive...[/QUOTE]
I'm not sure about UPS cost but postage is cheaper in China (and other eastern Asian countries) for regular postal mail and for EMS services. For about $30, I can have something in China or Korea shipped to TX within 3-5 days and if I do snail mail of 2-4 weeks, it's cents for small items.

On another note, my TMo page just updated to shipped but no email/text/or tracking and UPS website doesn't show anything under my #.

Hmmm just went to my T-Mobile account and it's saying shipped instead of processing. On the explorer status page it says expected to ship by 9/24. No email or text and no charge to my credit card. Maybe when I wake up everything will come through. I tried a UPS reference it that didn't do anything.
From my experience with the 2 phones:
1. Change on website from "Processing" to "Shipped"
2. Email from T-Mobile confirming the shipping and tracking number.
3. Email from T-Mobile regarding updates to the EIP agreement.
4. Final receipt for payment. (In my case all 0s)
This is a YMMV situation because one of the phones went through all 4 steps, while the other one I was not aware of step one and never got step 2.
Hope that helps, good luck to you all!
Ordered 6S 64GB Space Grey yesterday. Pending charge just hit my card. Order Status still being processed. No tracking by reference yet.
9/20/2015 I made my pre order on 9.13.15 in the evening. I ordered iPhone 6s plus silver 64gb on JOD. This morning at about 10am MST my status changed from "in process" to "order on hold".... I have no idea what that means... my card has not been charged yet
