Can't believe it took this long but I finally got a shipping notice from apple last night. Coming from Harrisburg, PA
 
Things got even weirder . After the pickup phone call i just received a updated tracking and its actually here already. At least it looks like it

My order is finally in Louisville! I got an import scan at 10:36am EST. It's only about 40 mins away from me right now. I wish I could just drive there and get it ;)
 
For those reading this thread that ordered for instore pickup ...

... just received a change in Order Status to "Ready for Pickup"

128 GB gold 6+ AT&T

I DOUBT they'll let me pick it up now :)
 
Mine says ready for pick up... Will the Apple store give it to me?

Walk in with a printed copy of that email and they really can't deny you since they sent that it is ready. I would demand it if they don't . launch day is there day not yours its ready go get it.

No - just got the confirmation email with QR barcode. The email said "We've got some great news for you. Your items will be ready for pickup on Sep 19"

The fact I received the QR code means they WILL have one for me.
 
Has anyone tried to set up the "2 hour delivery window" through UPS? Is Apple allowing it? I am taking off on a trip tomorrow afternoon and am really hoping that my phone arrives in the morning. This could be a way to ensure that it does.


How do you request it?
 
update from an in store pickup

Got an email from Apple staying my phone will be ready tomorrow, and when I go to the order page it says "ready for pickup"
Only 23 hours now!
 
It's something, but I wonder when the next flight is.

Also, I requested for pick-up, but since you guys are saying it might cause a delay, I'm worried and thinking about changing it back...any suggestions?

I just called ups. They said that as long as you switch before it's delivered, it will be held with no delays. I just switched it will call. They also said that I can pick up by 10am. Which I'll be there well before that.

No, that just means you requested today that UPS hold it tomorrow. I got the same notice.
 
I was extremely lucky with my order. Was on my parent's plan and still had unlimited data but couldn't fathom spending $700+ for a new iphone every year because I knew I wanted one every year. Got off their plan and upgraded my 5s to the 6/64gb/Gold and the Verizon employee mutters, "Are you serious" and calls a coworker over, they start grinning like two little kids, point at the screen and tell me to look, estimated delivery September 19th! I was more than ecstatic. Mine is currently at preparing to ship with no tracking info. I am hoping this wasn't a typo but if I don't get it tomorrow it wouldn't surprise me.
 
Yea it seemed odd. Thanks

I'm thinking we won't see any movement domestic that is till tonight when planes get in the air to distribution centers. I would bet we will still be seeing China to Alaska flights though.
