Think it depends what time you out your order in and where your at that decides when they move the phones so everyone gets theirs on launch day
tried to stay awake for the launch but ended up waking up around 530 and ordered then in a half asleep stupor. managed to secure my silver iphone 6 64gb with at&t next financing. got an immediate alert from chase that i'd been charged for the sales tax and an email from apple that my order would deliver on the 19th!
what a mess but hopefully success
Called my credit card company a few hours before apple store was supposed to go online to say I'd be making a purchase on apple.com for this roundabout sum of money, please don't let fraud department block it. Oh sure, no prob. At 3:01, apple.com still said we'll be right back.... Same at 4:01, 5:01, 6:01 etc. App on iPhone said my model was "currently unavailable". Managed to place my order via the app on my iPad at 3:40am EST. Yippee. Of course I couldn't check order status on apple.com, yep, "we'll be right back...." but I thought, surely all is well. Ding ding, message from my credit card company. SUSPECTED FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY!!! But we're on it, we blocked the fraudulent attempt on apple.com. What???? I finally managed to get through to them and cleared that up (a bit of yelling on my part). When I finally got through to an apple rep, she said all was well but a bit later came the email from apple that my order NEEDS ATTENTION!! Damn. No way to do that on apple.com, yep, "we'll be right back..." Got through to customer service once they opened, reauthorized the payment, rep said all was well. Except that I then got some emails from Apple reminding me that I have 2 reservations that need to be completed by Saturday noon or they'll be canceled. What???? This time waited 3 hours for Apple customer service, rep said not to worry, must be an error, my order is processing.

Ordered a 6+ 64GB gray on the Apple site yesterday morning (12th) no contract and it says delivery sometime after October 20.
My iPhone 6 (64GB, gold, German unlocked version, ordered via Apple) has just showed up in my Apple Support Profile. You may want to check yours!
To decode the given serial number and get to know your device production week, you may use this service. For me it's week 36/2014, that's just last week.

Mine says preparing for dispatch, delivery next friday! Anyone know if theres any chance of getting it early say Thursday? Ordered a 6 plus, 64GB I'm so excited for the bigger screen, I find the 5S to be uncomfortably small to type on.
my guess is thats only if you ordered from apple.
i have a 128 plus on order from verizon, but i havent heard of any VERIZON 138 plus being charged yet. AT&T yes some 128 have been charged.
There is a thread

People are reporting shipments from West Chester, PA and Memphis, TN. Mine is from Memphis.
No, I ordered around the same time for a 6+ 64GB and mine still says processing, I am having mine shipped. I think the majority will start to update there statuses within the next 1-2 days.
As with everybody else I woke up at midnight to order through apple.com and failed. For 2 hours played around with the App Store app on my phone and my laptop. I even downloaded Firefox after reading someone on here was able to order using Firefox. Only thing I got were reservations #. Finally gave up and went to sleep. I went to the apple store and best buy and failed as they don't do pre orders for the 6+. I finally ordered through apple.com with 3-4 week deliver estimate. Checked my email last night and finally got the reservation email. Checked it out and followed the link and to my surprise it said 9/19 delivery! I then canceled my original order and used that link to buy my 2 phones. Now instead of 3-4 weeks it's now 9/19 delivery!
Btw I was able to get a 64bg iphone 6 plus in a silver and in black

Mine support profile is really strange. It doesn't show an iPhone 6+, but it also doesn't show the 5s that is sitting next to my laptop right now. It shows me still having an iPhone 5. I sold that back in August of last year.
Thanks! yes mine is showing up in My Support Profile too.
My 6+, 128Gb, slate grey, unlocked is also week 36/2014
Ordered a 64GB 6 Plus Silver from tmobile at abut 6:30 Central Time. Originally Had a delivery date of 9/20 and 1 hour ago I got an email stating it was back ordered. 
Lucky SOB!! Congratulations!!
Ordered an iPhone 6+ 64GB Space Grey from AT&T no more than five minutes after pre-orders started and was given a late October shipping quote. Called AT&T and they said the date was changed...to NOVEMBER
canceled my order then and there and now scrambling to see where I can get it. Worse comes to worst, I'll get up at 3 or 4 in the morning and line up at my Apple store.Hey everyone,
Glad to be back with everyone, I missed all this excitement of pre-order tracking since the 5. Got my 16GB Space Grey Plus ordered through the Apple App and it's set to deliver 9/19. Just a couple of quick questions:
1. Order is still set to deliver 9/19 and says "Processing" My card has not been charged. Is this bad?
2. Since I ordered the phone from another eligible line on my account, do I need to go to Verizon to have them activate it on my number or can I just swap sims with my 5S before the phone boots for the first time?
Thanks!

1. Probably not. Mine is set to be delivered on the 19th, on my account it says processing, and I have a charge on my card but it says pending. Not worried, we'll get them on the 19th.
2. Don't know. Sorry, but I am on Sprint
Verizon Order Tracking Update
Ordered 420am EST via Verizon via upgrade.
Iphone 6 64 Gray and tracking was confirmed as item was picked up in PA via Fedex. I'm in SC.
I doubt that it will be here by Thursday since Apple will probably hold deliveries until Friday.
FedEx gets to my neighborhood rather early, on typical days whereas UPS is very late.
I wonder if I can leave a signed note or does someone have to be here for this?
I've got two security cameras on my porch so maybe I will have a video of delivery--then a rabid dog will suddenly come out of nowhere and rip into my Iphone 6 package, chewing it up like raw bone....
