gold iPhone 5s

Got shipping notice at midnight with tracking but no ETA. Checked later this morning UPS updated with ETA of Wednesday between 3-7pm.

Ordeered from Apple Store at 0301 EST 32gb Gold
 
You can use "Deliverys Status"

Its an App for iPhone and a widget for macs dashboard. Its really cool. It tracks all your shipping and send you notifications for every update!

Mac: http://junecloud.com/software/mac/delivery-status.html

iPhone/iPad: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/delivery-status-touch-package/id290986013?mt=8


Well, you should get yours first... mine shipped at 5:18am :D

----------

And now begins what I call the "Nerd Vigil."

That is when we have a Safari window open to the tracking page, and we keep hitting "Reload" to see where the hell our new stuff is! :D
 
Ordered online just after site went live, got shipped notice from Apple last night at 11:42pm. Today UPS says delivery on Wednesday by EOD. Going to check that UPS flight now!

----------

Wednesday, 9/25 by end of day. I'm in Dallas.

I'm in Dallas as well with delivery by EOD Wednesday. Looks like our phones are traveling together!

Wow, I was expecting my iPhone 5s to arrive Friday at the earliest. Just checked UPS, this is a nice surprise!

Scheduled Delivery:
Wednesday, 09/25/2013, By End of Day

Last Location:
Arrived - ZhengZhou, China, Monday, 09/23/2013

I am in Columbus, Ohio.

I ordered my 64GB Space Gray AT&T iPhone 5s right when the Apple Store app went live at 12:03 PDT. Originally it said "Preparing for Shipment Available to ship: 1 - 3 business days Delivers: Sep 30 - Oct 2 by Standard Shipping"

Amazing that it could be in China today (although I think they are 12 hours ahead of me) and here at my house in 2 days. It is going to arrive around the same time that my accessories that I also ordered at the same time that were shipped from locations already in the US. :)
 
How are people able to tell which flight their shipment is on?

Pure guesswork based upon timing of scans and scheduled departures from flightaware.com. They seem to be a couple hours behind on scanning them in/out once the plane lands/takes off.
 
I don't think my experience could be more convenient. I walked in the Apple store (Austin), asked if they had 5S for AT&T, was told yes, in 64GB space gray. I said I'll take two, waited about 5 minutes, sales person had two for me, 5 minutes later was out the door.
 
I'm getting mine on Wednesday too. I actually put it in Will Call so that i can pick it up at 8am :D No more of this stupid waiting at home :eek:

I've tried that before and they said Apple required them to make a delivery attempt first and it was out of their control...?
 
Yes but I think usually when I tried that the only available dates were dates after the original delivery date.

I was able to complete the request through My Choice and it said I will be notified when it arrives on Wednesday for pickup. Perhaps since this an order and not a pre-order, the shipping restrictions are more lax :)

Ah, that's a good theory. So help me out. I feel like I've had this issue before. Clicking "change delivery" doesn't seem to show any options. I'm logged in...
