PSA regarding shipping from Apple, etc.:

99.9999% (or so) of Apple's stated 9/19 deliveries will occur on 9/19.

Apple's site will not report "shipping" until it reports it leaving its current UPS location, probably on Thursday.

It is not a problem when Apple still says PTS (Preparing to Ship), even on Thursday. Funny that I thought PTS was the last step before PTSD, and would become PTSD as the diagnosis if the phone didn't move until Thursday. lol

We assume UPS will deliver all Apple Store's deliveries on Friday, but there is a lot of yet to be determined info about this that will only be clear on Friday.

I've not been paying enough attention to shipping stuff to know about this year, but in previous years carriers used FedEx and Apple used UPS for iPhones, but FedEx for trade in boxes, and accessories that were already in the US when shipping to customers.
 
Well i still have no charge for phone, no label or anything and still in processing. Apple watch has a label started though. Will be interesting to see when it pops up! Im in midwest, im anticipating tonight or tomorrow i think!
 
This is the case I have for my new phone.

Seems nice but I’ll reserve judgement until Friday.

I have to leave at 1:00 pm on Friday to take my father to a Dr. appt. If UPS tries to deliver while I am gone, will they try again Saturday?
 
Not a UPS employee, just a customer who ships a lot and receives a lot.

When your package (tracking) shows it arrived at your local center, make the request for Access point pickup immediately.

Don't wait until your package is sorted and loaded.
Different trucks get different loads (commercial, residential, UPS center transfers, etc).

If you make the request late, your package will go out to the address on the package if not delivered, it will return to the center at the end of the day and then get loaded the next day on the truck that is going to your Access point.

Remember Access point locations will change the truck it gets loaded.

My San Bernardino bound packages I want to pickup in Los Angeles county, will get a center to center transfer to the different county overnight first and then get loaded in the morning - so be aware and plan accordingly....
So The option will become available once at arrives at my local sorting facility I don’t have the option to send it to access point it says not available for this package

I have been on the "Preparing to Ship" since last week!

This must mean the products are already in the US; in the past, if it was shipping directly from the factory in China, we would've had tracking by today.

I ordered a Blue 256GB Pro, but I'm just coming to be concerned - if we go caseless, do we have to worry way way way more about the colors (Blue and Orange) chipping? Although, my aluminum black macbook pro has no visible scratches and thats always jostling around in my bad. I guess my question is will the Alumnium be way less chip/scratch resistant than the titanium was.

Difference between your pocket and a bag is your pocket probably has more dirt and hard lint than your bag depending on what you do
