Checked the order status website and the tracking # is there. Checked FedEx and it says picked up in Memphis, TN.


9/13/2014 - Saturday

8:31 am Picked up
MEMPHIS, TN

Future delivery requested
Yup that's why I deleted my post, it seems that a lot of people are getting them early this year! Now the fun part, seeing no movement for almost a week haha.
 
Good news! My order status has changed from "We received your order and it is in process." to "Your order is currently being processed. Please check back tomorrow."

This was a 64gb Plus /Space Grey ordered at 11:58PST confirmation at 12:01PST
 
Have any of you been a part of an iPhone launch before? None of this is unusual. As for the tracking numbers for some and nothing for others, remember when Macrumors posted the story that phones were already shipping to the US before preorders even started? People's phones will be coming from all over the place, so shipping times will be different. But USUALLY everyone will get their phones by the date on their confirmation, if not sooner. I've seen the phones from the carriers, especially Verizon, show up a day early plenty of times (when I ordered my iPhone 4 it came two days early).

Just wait until about Wednesday when some people don't have tracking numbers and everyone is freaking out.

The problem is the reps half the time are just trying to get you off the phone and don't have a clue. And you've also got a couple of trolls in these threads spreading the fear. Just chill. Start freaking out Friday when your phone isn't "Out for Delivery."
just wait for all the can't activate my iphone threads on Friday lol
 
Also, keep in mind the MASSIVE number of phones that are being shipped out. They aren't all going to change status at the same time. The phones are scheduled to come Friday, so there is lots of time to get them in the system before then and still get them out on time. Most probably won't even ship until Thursday.

And then every year the FedEx tracking system goes down because of everyone checking their status every six minutes, so be ready for that one too! haha

I'm sure they'll move, what makes it worse is if they move to the city where they're supposed to be delivered in (don't think that happens until 1-2 days before it's to be delivered anyhow), but it'd be more nerve wracking if it sat at the location in your city for a week, just knowing it's there... waiting.. to be put on a truck. :)

Yeah they will sit at the hub for the majority of next week and then begin the process of actually shipping to their destinations. These phones have been sitting in Memphis for probably a little while now. Man if they sent them out early to all the satellite locations for delivery in a few days...everyone would get their phone early lol
 
If your email confirmation says 9/19/14, you will get it on 9/19. Always go off of your email confirmation.

I've done countless phone preorders and the email has always been right. Do not go off what the order number lookup says. Those systems lag by days. The email confirmation is a direct confirmation based off of the actual number of units Verizon has been allotted. The verizon iconic sales lookup platform is usually not correct until a day or two before the device actually ships.

When in doubt, refer back to your confirmation email. If your device was going to be delayed, no one would have received a confirmation.

I ordered three IP6+ 64gb space gray two of them have a 9/19 date and the third as 10/7.

I agree 100%. Had the exact same issue when I preordered my iPhone 5 and regular ordered my 5s from Verizon. Horrible updates and communication but both times arrived on the date they said. I commented in another thread I was considering going with Apple direct this time just because of the communication. That being said I have no fears if the phone arriving any other day than what they said in the confirmation email.

Can you have a fedex delivery held at the office? I'd like to pick it up earlier than 8pm. I'm going up to a cabin that night.

In the past some people have had luck but I also know fedex has been pretty stringent on the iPhone rules since it is such a huge contract they have. I wouldn't be surprised if they tell you the driver has to attempt delivery first. Otherwise everyone would call ask them to hold it and go pick them up first thing in the morning.

How do they know it's an iPhone? That's kind of creepy. It's coming from Verizon, it could be any phone.

How many orders from Verizon look exactly the same with very very specific hold instructions till the 19th? Which just happens to coincide with one of the largest releases of the year? My point is your package will be tagged as do not deliver before the 19th and I believe the rule is they have to try and deliver it first as well so that will be on there. People try every year to call and pick it up early that morning and unless I'm remembering completely wrong, the majority of the time they say nope we can't do it. It's worth a call though once it moves to the final processing station, the worst they can say is no.

Good point. Well, FedEx has to start somewhere! Hopefully they get to me before 4-5 PM.
