How many days yours?
I ordered the 14 Plus on Sept 15th.

Not sure exactly how long but I think fairly soon (maybe a day or so?) after ordering it went to Processing and stayed there until yesterday.

Yesterday (Oct 3rd) my card was charged and the status moved to Preparing to Ship.

So it’s only been in Preparing to Ship status for about a day. I guess I’m just feeling impatient.
 
I haven't read the entire 980+ pages of this thread but everyone seems to see their shipments go from ZhengZhou to Korea and then end up in Alaska. Mine went to Shanghai and then Japan. Has mine decided to go on world tour?

It's hardly a big deal since it will get here eventually. Just curious why my tracking info looks so much different compared to everyone else.
ZhengZhou to Icheon to Anchorage to Louisville to Ontario to Honolulu pre ordered Sept 9, Pro Max 512GB Deep Purple, original shipping date 10/17 to 10/24, Apple sent text message delivery date 10/03, then 10/04, then 10/05 now according to UPS 10/06 I would not be surprised if it goes to next week

Weird world tour

Not yet. Still preparing to ship. I bet they are in the US or we should have seen something by now.
Yes, you are correct.

Judging on the carrier warehouse photos of the 14+ in the US, our phones are probably in an US Apple warehouse.

Many of the "USA" order thread made fun of me when I said that inventory is probably in the US already...

Guess they will be eating their words...
 
Anyone with the same delivery date range as mine(10/26-11/2)? I ordered the 256GB Space Black on 9/24. I know it hasn’t been long but wanted to see who else has the same ranges as mine so we can kind of sync up our dates and see who gets it when and also who’s card gets charged and when as well. Hope everyone who’s received theirs is content!
 
they found it, it seems! just left Indiana.

perhaps not, I just finished a surreal chat conversation with an apple representative. I didn't notice before i saw the UPS scan from Indiana, but a few hours before, I got an email from Apple that said my return process had been started. I did not begin a return process with them, I did chat with them this morning to notify them of the UPS investigation and the representative told me to contact them back within 72 hours. So I totally get it if it's lost and they're sending out a replacement, but why would a lost package get a UPS scan? and why would Apple's instructions tell me to return a lost device? the second chat experience i had today though, was insanity. the agent could not answer my simple questions, just gave me platitudes. The replacement has a Oct 26 - Nov 2 date, which would be a major bummer.

But the question remains. What the hell departed Indiana? If it's my phone, what is Apple going to do about it?

I ordered a day after you, but hav the same delivery date estimates. as of this morning, 9/5, no updates to status. Based on others, I am guessing that it will move soon.

Anyone seeing movement on their 14 Plus?

My wife’s has been stuck on “preparing for shipment” for a few days now. Delivery still showing Fri 10/7.
Mine is also showing Preparing for shipment. Says Arrives Fri Oct 7. I thought I would see some shipping movement today but nothing yet.

Same here - our 14+ are already in the US at Apple warehouses.

Shipping will happen tomorrow - the day before it's launch date.

Mine will probably come from AI - Fontana/Ontario, CA warehouse as in the past...
 
Really not sure what happened to my order. Surely I'm not the only one seeing this?

14 PM 256gb in Space Black - Ordered September 11th with a October 18-25 ship date.

Credit card billed on Sept 28 and tracking number became available with some shipping activity on the 29th.

The package went from ZhengZhou China to Shangai and has sat there since the 29th. The UPS app has no tentative delivery date anymore but when I sign in to MyChoice it shows October 19th.

if you don’t see any progress by this weekend I’d have them open an investigation.

I wonder will they use UPS or FedEx. I have accounts with both and have been checking both just to be safe.
 
I ordered a SB Pro (not Max) 512G - delivery date range has been Oct 11-18 since day one. My order is still processing - no change of status of any sort. I’ve seen a ton of early deliveries for the Pro Max, but I’m curious whether others waiting for a Pro are in the same boat or seeing deliveries before their original delivery window.

Edit - I originally said I ordered a 256G phone- I’ve corrected above.
