I'm in New York, ordered thru the app for Apple IUP for Nov. 3 delivery, and mine is still Order IN Progress. I am on Verizon. Don't worry, I used to order from Verizon and sometimes they don't ship until the night before if you are close to a distro.
All my friends would get shipping and tracking numbers and I'd be flipping out calling UPS and Verizon and conferencing them and whatnot lol. Every single time, though, it arrived, so now I just wait because it will come. NY always seems to be last.

Order placed at 2:06am CDT through the Verizon site (paid full price). Currently still says "being processed".
I'm getting conflicting info on the delivery date:
- The order confirmation email itself and the order status page in my account both state a delivery date of 11/3
- When I click the order status link from the confirmation email, it says that the ship date is 11/3.
- When I called support, they also state a ship date of 11/3
Confusing.

It’ll deliver the 3rd. I order 300+ devices a year from this on an enterprise account, and this is standard.
12:06 am PT email confirmation from Apple. 256 Silver (ATT). Preparing to Ship. I checked about 12:30 pm PT no changes, no PTS. This is pretty awesome.
Hey all,
Just checked UPS track by reference and got my tracking number. Used my phone number as the reference. My UPS App also is showing my phone in their system and in China at the moment ready for pick up!
Oh yeah!!! (For some reason, I have “walking in Memphis” going through my head)

I suspect they are just starting to assign phones to individuals. So it may be Monday or later before they get most of them done. And if some are in the US it could be late in the week.
Of course it doesn't stop me from checking every few minutes

Card was charged last night and status was updated to Preparing to Ship this morning when I looked! So excited to finally successfully pre-order. 64gb White TMobile.
My family has three phones incoming on Nov 3, all showing up with origin scans in ZhengZhou using UPS track by reference. The reference number is the phone number on your shipping address, so for me, it was cell phone for two and home phone for one. Also, you may need to extend the date range on UPS.
We have a fourth phone coming in 2-3 weeks due to ATT verification delays.

Also got my tracking number by reference number. If you can’t use the UPS site, you can use:

Same here it's not showing up in My UPS app by I found it using track by reference with my cell phone number. Last scan was China so not sure if it has left or sitting. According to FlightAware there's another flight leaving later today by UPS to Alaska from China so it might leave with that bunch. There's one in route but I can't remember if the scan would say it had left or not....

I'm still waiting for a flip, ordered a little after launch directly though apple via the Apple Store App. I'll feel better when it flips as I know that even though it says I am good for store pickup on 11/3, they have updated and pushed it out many times in the past.
Yeah, I think the origin scan is just them printing the labels and tagging they are ready for pick up from Foxconn. There will be a departure scan when they are airborne and that is when you should be checking out FlightAware.
