When I called up Apple about a credit card issue, the CSR told me that I was going to need to sign for it.
After calling up UPS to ask them to hold it for me though (since I might not be home), they told me that the package is not one that needs to be signed for. It's actually not even an option to click in the MyChoice "Delivery Instructions" like it would be if it required a signature.
Little confused. Might just do Will Call instead to avoid any problems.
Yeah, I ordered thru Apple and still have the same "Preparing for Shipment" status right now.

I have 40+ coming sooooo not impressed.
and this is why at 5 am EST when I was finally able to get to the apple store (I couldn't purchase though the app... wanted to use apple gift cards and that wasn't an option in the app
) I had a 7-10 day wait? ugh.

Your phone has already shipped. Apple just hasn't updated it on their site. You can track it by going to UPS and put your phone number, country and zip code.
Does anyone have a shipping notice from apple at all??? Or are we all stuck in preparing for shipment
I'm stuck in preparing for shipment... even though I was able to find my shipment on UPS's website. I don't think I've seen anyone on here who has gotten anything past "Preparing for Shipment"
I've been trying to obtain my tracking number for the past week... I finally reset my MyChoice account and long behold, leaving Tennessee (for California).
I personally hate UPS because it comes extremely late to my house, it's his last run before he heads back down to Downtown, LA at around 8PM.
Anyone have experience holding shipments? Would I be able to just swoop into the Main St and pickup my phone if I process this hold for will call, early morning or noon on Friday?

I ordered a Space Grey iPhone 6 Plus 64gb... however in the Apple's Support Profile, the thumbnail image seems to be incorrect.
The thumbnail of my phone shows a white front. A space grey iPhone 6 Plus model is definitely black on the front panel. Are the thumb nails specific to the device you ordered?
Can someone else check to see if there thumbnail is representative of the phone they ordered?

Don't be alarmed, they have yet to make all those asset images. You should be receiving what you ordered on Friday.
My iPhone6+ 64 GB Silver AT&T has just departed Nashville, TN! It's coming home to St. Louis!!
NICE!!
Well UPS is experiencing such hight volumes so I'm not surprised. You'll get it friday
Can anyone relate to me?
I preordered the iPhone 6 64GB Verizon via the Apple Store app around 3:50 AM EST. I have the confirmation email and I have chosen to pick it up at the Augusta, GA Apple Retail Store. Since I have placed my order, my order status HAS NOT CHANGED on Apple.com from "processing items". However, it says my pick up date is 9/19.
My thing is, I am closing in on less than 36 hours until Friday and my phone hasn't done anything but be "processed". They have charged my credit card, or at least pre-authorized it.
Anyone in the same boat? This is freaking me out. I have called Apple Customer Service twice and they said that I should have my phone in the store by the 19th, but I'm not believing that right now with what I am experiencing.

Mine is on hold for will call to be picked up 9/19
Finally see my phone in UPS tracking, even though Apple site says preparing for shipment. I want to keep reading and be a small part of the frenzy but some of you are creeping me out w/ your anxiety. "I don't see this!!! I only see that!! I have a UPS tracking number that says my phone is scheduled to be delivered on time but I don't like the tone of the tracking language...am I screwed?"
Nope, they seem to be generic. Put your Serial Number into this site to pull all the configuration/manufacture date for your phone to verify its a Space Gray model: http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html
