Just checked both UPS/FedEx tracking, still nothing showing up. App still shows preparing for shipment. Still delivers Fri 22 September. /shrug

My phone case and Qi charger from Amazon updated to shipping. Still no tracking on those either.
Sounds like mine. It's still "preparing to ship" on Apple's site, and still supposedly arriving tomorrow. We shall see...

Edit: It's now showing as "shipped", and the tracking shows that it actually happened yesterday.

Anyone do store pickup? Mine says "Order in Progress". I am picking up between 8 an 8.30 AM Friday morning on my way to work.
 
I pre ordered a watch and a phone, I checked UPS my choice and found a tracking number from China, it has left AK yesterday. The weight is 3.10kgs which is awful heavy for being just a watch or just a phone. I wonder if they packed them together even tho I ordered them separately on different days. Both orders have the same delivery date set for Friday. Apple site still says "preparing for delivery" but both my charges have been charged days ago.

I never experienced apple shipping multiple items in same packaging. Even if someone order 10 items they will send 10 packages. They don’t want to hear from customers that in their package there was only one item and 1 is missing. Before they used to do it and if someone claims that they do ship the replacement item and its the loss for apple. I have ordered 3 items and has 3 different trackings. None of them weighing 3.10kg. I have 8plus and watch and Apple TV but I don’t know which item has what weight other wise it would have been easier to weigh to find out whether they ship yours in one package.

It will say that until it is ready to pick up, I did in store pick up as well and I don't expect a change until late tomorrow night or Friday morning.

Which wireless charger did you get?
 
I ordered an 8+ space gray 256 gb Verizon phone through the apple upgrade program at about 12:04 and mine has been preparing for shipment since Sunday with no tracking info anywhere. I know it'll come the 22nd though.

I did get my mophie wireless charger base already. It seems well made!

EDIT: just checked and I also got the Rialto, CA tracking info from UPS
 
I changed the UPS delivery to a UPS store near my home because I won't be home to sign for it. Now it says estimated delivery 9/25. I have a feeling that will change back to the 22nd once the shipment actually gets handed to UPS.

So 9:30 at night here and still preparing to ship for 09/22. Seriously...am I going to get a tracking number sometime tomorrow night?
 
I'm working from home, but I always do. :)
Nice. Cheers.

Good thinking. My iPhone 5 was left at my apartment door. I saw that it was delivered and drove back home to pick it.

Check UPS my choice. A lot of us got a tracking number even though Apple is still saying its preparing to ship

Try UPS website with your phone number/order number(or part of it, first 5 digits or last, I forgot) as reference number. You will find it.
 
I work nights but just happen to have this weekend off

I’ve checked with my phone number under reference and get nothing. Am I doing it wrong?
Do you have an account with UPS My Choice? I have the UPS app on my phone and just kept checking it. It now automatically shows the pending delivery with the tracking number.

It’s cool—it just means that ours are already in the US and thus don’t really *need* to show movement until the day before. I went through this same thing a couple of launches ago, and while it makes this week a hell of a lot more boring for us than for everybody else, it’s nothing to worry about. :)

I am asking forgivesness from your & all others on behalf of all the 8 buyers including me who’s iphones are in KY USA please forgive us and our iphones are in USA and yours still in apple’s factory in manufacturing department. Lol haha sorry just kidding :) You should be getting too on Saturday fingers crossed :p
