My order still shows preparing for shipment but I'm not concerned. LOL @ some of the folks freaking out.
I got an email from Sprint asking me to verify my employee discount. That only happens when my contract is renewed. I'm confident I received that email because the Apple atmosphere is talking to the Sprint atmosphere and Sprint knows I've renewed my contract w/ the purchase of the new iphone from Apple's website. Chillax...they are coming guys.
I enjoy the excitement of launch, but don't get sucked into the stress. In the end, it is JUST a device.

I got a 16GB and a 64 GB iP6. Card was charged probably a day after I ordered or on the day, not to sure, but like everyone else in Canada I've still got 'Preparing for Shipment'. In BC so hopefully I get it on the 19th
Will be interesting to see come Friday
On a side note, has anyone else who ordered the phone from Apple Canada actually received a tracking number yet? My case now has a tracking number, but my phone is still MIA at the moment.
Phone just showed up in Support Profile but no tracking info yet.
iPhone 6 silver/white 64gb for Tmobile
Ordered on www.apple.com between 8am - 10:30am (I can't remember exactly because I was iHungover from waiting up the night before)
I was charged for the phone on September 12 and it cleared within 24 hours.
Order status over the weekend:
We've received your order - September 12
Processing Items - September 13 -14
Preparing for shipment - September 15
Decided to check ups.com using the order number (left off the last two digits) as the reference number and it says my phone is in China:
Scheduled Delivery:
Friday, 09/19/2014, By End of Day
Last Location:
Arrived - ZhengZhou, China, Tuesday, 09/16/2014
Got super excited so I logged on to Apple Support Profile and saw my iPhone 6 with serial number registered to my account!
Thought to myself, "this is too good to be true" and logged into my online bank account and see no history of Apple charging my card! Even though the deduction was there over the weekend!!! I'm calling my bank now and Apple customer service to make sure there are no holds on the charge.

Yay I can now see my tracking number through UPS's site. There's no info though so it must not have shipped.
----------
Just an FYI everyone there is DEFINITELY a hub in Harrisburg PA with a ton of phones in it. Yours may not be coming from China, mine is coming from Harrisburg.
Since I live here after work I will go find the hub and bring everyone their phones early
Pick mine up, i'm from York. lol
.
Yes, there is a gigantic UPS sort hub in Hodgkins IL, called the Chicago Area Consolidation Hub. Wikipedia has an excellent article on it. Search for CACH in Wikipedia.
.
I looked up my packages reference number. You can either do:
If your order number is W115143163 look up by searching W1151431
If your phone number is (949) 123-4567 look up by searching 9491234567
The phone number is not the phone number of the iPhone you are upgrading or extending the contract. It is the phone number that apple has listed in your Order Status page. Look to the left where it says "Ships To" to find out what phone number to search for.
Make sure your iPhone has shown up in the supportprofile.apple.com before wasting time searching for it. It took my iPhone about 12 hours to go from showing up in the Support Profile, to being able to search in UPS by reference.
I ordered:
6 16gb gray
9am.
10/7 ship date even though it was stated to be 9/19
Received email offer from comcast to get $200.00 debit card if I buy a new iphone and activate 2 year contract.
So, I called verizon, cancelled my order which has not made any movement and still shows 10/7 date. Reordered silver phone to be delivered by 10/7 and got the $200.00 debit card.
I did get my spigen case already from amazon. I am glad I didn't get the plus because the case is a big fit in my hand.

Good to know. They definitely could though, as Amazon does this to me all the time. Its pretty common nowadays as a means of cutting shipping costs.
E.g. http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200385140

I think a lot of the time Apple stuff is shipped from different locations anyway.
My father had ordered a Mac Mini and keyboard. They were shipped separate.

Some of you people are freaking nuts. Your phone will come if you got a confirmation email. Go outside and take a walk, relax

Instead of reading through posts from other people and then taking the time to post yourself that people are crazy, perhaps you should go take that walk. People are excited and all of this craziness is part of the fun of the process. No one made you read the threads. If you don't like what you are reading, don't read it.
Don't know if this has been mentioned, but my invoice from Apple was sent and shows this information near the bottom:
I have been charged, in preparing for shipment since Saturday, serial in Support Profile, but no tracking information.
Anyone else see this?

I wish I could but I have an app I have to immediately test with the new devices. The sooner I get it the better. It has to be 100% compatible by Saturday.
Lol ok buddy, your acting like i am not excited. People like you need medication. Because your order has not updated your calling apple 4 times. Chill out.
Mine went to preparing to ship mid-day yesterday, showed up in my support profile this morning along with ups tracking label being created.
I ordered on Friday at 7:15am PST, iPhone 6 Space Grey 128GB

Yeah, most of the posts on this thread have been pretty stupid. And yes, I read (some of) them and took the time to say that they are stupid.
Actually, I've never called Apple once nor did I say on here that I called Apple. In fact, I've posted a couple of times in response to people that I'm not worried because Apple says it will be here on the 19th so I am confident that it will be as should they. I would never call Apple unless something on my order page indicated that there was some kind of delay, and I don't think anyone else should either. But if they do that's their problem. To say I need medication is funny because you are assuming I am doing the same thing that others on this forum are doing when I am not. And you know what they say about making assumptions...
Either way, if they want to call Apple 20 times today what does it matter to you?
Been "preparing to ship"
since sunday.
Had the amount pending on my card, then it disappeared but the hold is there.
It'll charge when the phone ships
My iPhone shows in my support profile!
And I found an order was created under UPS. but nothing from Apple. I know they're usually a little behind UPS. Ill get the official email sometime today Im thinking. I mean its almost Wednesday in China.
Hope someone's status changes to ship soon! Givess us all some hope!
