Maybe all Best Buy's are not equal. However, the Best Buy on 5800 Britton Pkwy, Dublin Ohio could do it. However, they did have only one computer that could process it. Try calling around to Best Buy's in your area. Probably some can and others can't.

Does tracking info include China or just US shipping?.
It includes China - tracked mine from Zhengzhou to Seoul to Anchorage to Louisville to Kokomo (Indiana - really) to Wyoming. That's a city in Michigan, not the state. (I don't think the state has electricity yet.)
It's now on the truck for delivery! I ordered it at 3:54AM EDT on 9/12, 6+ 128GB space gray, feels like an eternity but it's better than the 10/1-10/6 that they gave when I ordered it.
Thanks! With China involved, how long did you have to wait from shipping notice to delivery date?
Here's my tracking history. NOTE, all times are local to where it was (thus the time travel when it crossed the international date line).

Well, not getting it today.
Apparently the "scheduled delivery" date is the scheduled date for when the package gets to KY, as told by a supervisor at UPS. Makes no sense...Whatever, hopefully I get it tomorrow...UPS is getting bad. Usually, UPS will indicate an afternoon delivery for my packages (never in the am, and usually after 6pm). But for this iPhone, they will only say by end of day. So I get to sit around all day waiting for them. Not very customer friendly.
You have to sign up for an account for them to tell you that (which then begs to post to Facebook for you - uh, right). Even then, it only says 1:15pm - 5:15pm for me. I think it might be more exact if you sign up for a "premium" account (i.e. $$). Yeah, they've segmented their info into these different tiers, and it only hurts their customer base. Shouldn't their business be shipping instead of this nonsense? Give us good info - we'll keep using you. Don't? Well...
I just checked my UPS App. It updated the delivery date. It will arrive on Wednesday--on my day off!
So I guess I'll remove my request for the Friday off...

You can opt to pick it up at the UPS depot. Thankfully I live 5 minutes from our area UPS. I will be UPS first thing to get my phone
super late to the 'party', but I was 8th in line at the Tysons Corner 
store (store #1) and got to 'run the gauntlet' when all the apple employees are clapping and cheering and high fiving you as you come into the store and all that jazz..
Anywho, got my 128GB 6 Plus in Space Gray and a brown leather apple case. Love it.

Yet it will....
China, to China, to China, to Japan, Alaska, Lousiville, KY, then local distribution.
Sheesh!
Thanks! Really appreciate the info. I'm going to be traveling and hope the delivery date doesn't end up being when I'm gone. From your tracking, it's a 6 day trip from China to your door.
The charges are showing as pending on my credit card. Any idea how long it takes to ship after that? I know being in pending means the charge has been approved, but not actually made. Thanks again for your input.
Have ordered the iPhone 6, 64 GB Space Gray today. Receiving it tomorrow!
How did you order it today and you already are going to receive it tomorrow?
To be honest I haven't checked my credit card charges. Also, keep in mind that the 3 day delay in Zhengzhou was over the weekend *of* the launch, so that may not be typical from here on out.
Edit: Oh yeah and remember China is 12 hours ahead of me (EDT), so that was actually 8:30PM on Thursday the 18th here that UPS received the order.
I ordered the space grey iP6+ 64GB, it was delivered yesterday. Amazing battery life, as good as my iPad Air. The way I use the phone, with the 5S, the battery would be drained long before I got home at night. When I came home tonight, the new iPhone was at 78% when I plugged it into the charger. Outstanding. The only issue I have with it is the scaled-up apps look bad. Cant wait when developers update their art assets for the new phones.
Queued up at 5.30am this morning and got first in line at the local Telia shop here in Denmark. Got their first 64GB Space Gray iPhone 6.
Congrats! Still waiting for Post Danmark to show up with mine

It should, tracking says it's out for delivery
I just ordered the Plus. I went to the store beforehand earlier today to check both phones out in the flesh to see if the Plus really was up my alley.
It was. I mean, it's big. Maybe a bit bigger than I expected, but I felt the screen of the 6 just wan't big enough to serve as an iPad replacement. The Plus screen on the other hand was jaw dropping and it just felt so much more like the device I was looking for. I had no problems using it with one hand and it fit fine in my front pocket, so I felt this was the device for me.
As soon as I came home I ordered the Space Grey 64GB version (they only had the 16GB in stock). I'm thrilled
Funny thing though, according to Apple it ships within 5-7 business days, however the delivery date is estimated at Oct 9 - 13... That's not 7 days at all, but I can't complain. At least it's not 3-4 weeks.

The only phone your getting is you order today for most likely next day is the 6. It ain't happening with the 6+.
