I placed my order around 11:57 PM PST on the 11th, got a confirmation email about 2:30 AM on the 12th, and got shipping notification in the early hours of the 13th. I have been refreshing the FedEx tracking a few times a day just waiting to see it start to move from the Memphis hub. Delivery is scheduled for Friday the 19th.

I have already ordered two cases to try for my Space Grey iPhone 6 64GB, see them here: https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/19712497/

Coming from a Samsung Galaxy S3, iPhone 5 (briefly), HTC Thunderbolt, and Palm Pre.

With no updates to the FedEx tracking since the 13th, this morning there is a new entry for "Shipment information sent to FedEx." The Estimated Delivery Date is still set for tomorrow on 9/19.
 
So the Iconic order status just updated for me to show ship dat. Not good news.

Ace Order No: 284XXX
Ace Order Location: D771001
Order Status: We received your order and it is in process.
Expected Ship Date: 10/07/2014

That sucks..I'm in the same location code, and my order no was 284XXX as well. My order shipped at 12:30AM today. What did you order? I got a Gold 64gb 6+

Got the Space Gray 64 GB 6+. I guess it was a more popular color than gold.
 
UPS hold for pick-up

Anyone with UPS unable to select this option? Signed into MyChoice and I don't see it anywhere, would prefer not to wait around all day.
 
Order page just updated on me from showing no date, to 10/14. Ordered 1:37am mountain. Deliver by date was 9/19 on order confirmation. 128 6 plus space grey
 
I kind of wish my phone shipped UPS so I could hold for pickup.

Also, is anyone showing the extra 1GB of data yet or does the new device have to be activated first?
 
It appears my orders are coming in via UPS Next Day Air Saver from the Louisville, KY hub and scheduled for delivery "by the end of the day" tomorrow, the 19th.

Although I've freed up my day to allow for "sitting and waiting around to sign for UPS deliveries", I apparently have an option to "Hold for Customer Pick-Up" at the nearby UPS facility. The facility has an opening time of 8:30AM...

Anyone have any thoughts of whether it'd be less stressful to just change the delivery to pick-up and waltz in at 8:30AM, versus staring out the window until 6PM waiting for big brown trucks?

Does anyone know if it is held, if it is standard UPS procedure to have items ready for release at the opening time at the local UPS facility for will call pick-ups?

I've sat in my car for more than an hour at UPS waiting for them to "find" something that I had held for pickup -- and that wasn't on iPhone day, so..... good luck!

I had hoped all these updates are just them processing the orders and then they will update to 9/19.

But its not hopeful when yours was 9/19 and has changed to 10/14.

And mine just kicked over to 10/14. Looks like i am going to the Verizon store at 8 AM to see if I can cancel my order and just pick up one there (if there are any left).
 
Ahh my phone finally shipped!! Louisville, KY. I thought for sure it would come from the west coast. UPS 1-day, delivery tomorrow. It says before 3PM, I wonder if that's true or not. I hope so, I want my new phone as early as possible!

iPhone 6 Plus, 64GB, White/Silver. Ordered at 1AM Pacific Time on 9/12.

Order location number: W779001
 
Well guys the ridiculousness continues, earlier i posted that s "supervisor" called me and said that the original 10/14 date was incorrect and I would receive it on 9/19, well she just called back and said now that Verizon is saying my order was pushed back to 10/14 again. Whatever I am done with this crazy back and forth I'm betting at this point I'll be bale to find a 6 plus easier in a retail shop on early Friday morning that keep going down this road.

I have seen no rhyme or reason as to how they are figuring the shipping to people who order the 6 pluses, I have seen other people with higher order numbers than mine get shipping confirmation for 9/19 how is that possible?
My order was 111XXX

my order for the exact same phone was pushed back to 10/14 and I was 30,000 ahead of you.
 
Joining in on the hype: here is my updated status.

My iPhone 6 is sitting in Louisville KY :) which is only hours away from me (AR). I should have my phone by tomorrow NLT 3pm! Coincidentally, tomorrow is also my day off so I will be happily awaiting for my package at home.

Yay!! :D

:apple:

Mine says the EXACT same thing, even the two scans at 8:26am and 10:52am. I am in Sacramento, and mine is in Louisville too. And sorry to say its not NLT 3pm, its NLT 8pm, (by end of day for residential deliveries) <---- Says right on your tracking. Unless your going to a business?
 
Good luck to you folks that are going to try to get the iPhone 6 + SG's at your local stores. I just canvased my city. Even Walmart's Wireless doesn't have any. Which leads me to believe verizon when they said they have limited stock. Quite brilliant on Apple's part as far as marketing. Put the less popular offerings out first before putting out the more Space Grey one. I remembered a few months ago it was said there would be a two week difference on the releases of the actual handsets. we'll see some action soon on the iPhone 6 Plus SG line soon guys. ;)
 
As did I, it was a pleasant surprised since I didn't even know about the promotion...

I called the day before preorder to make sure everything was lined up on my account because I was going to switch to Edge and do an early upgrade. The rep was very knowledgeable, and told me about the free 1GB and said that I could drop my data by 1GB for the $10/month savings and just use the freebie instead.
 
Well this week I experienced another instance of their incompetence.

I used the "MyUPS" thing to put in my door code and instruct a package to be left at my apartment door on Monday. The guy comes and leaves it at the door of the APARTMENT BUILDING. A public entrance on a busy street that hundreds of people walk by every hour. If I hadn't been home to grab it instantly, it would have been stolen in minutes.

:eek::eek: Unbelievable!!! But I am glad you grabbed it instantly! :)

Brilliant marketing or bad estimating? I wonder if Apple underestimated the popularity of the Plus - perhaps they thought people would be willing to "edge up" in size, but wouldn't jump en masse from 5s size to Plus.
