I had the same delivery date. Yesterday it flipped to preparing to ship and overnight it shipped and has a tracking link to fedex. Fedex is domestic only, so it’s likely already done the worldwide fun and it’s sitting in a warehouse. My arrival date got cut in half by Apple algorithms so it’s showing as a Wednesday delivery. While nothing is on the fedex page yet, I’m expecting it either today or this weekend.
In my experience the shipping system for initial preorders and the shipping system for everything else aren’t always the same. In other words, you might not see the same elapsed times or scan points. You still might but it also may be that your order will be fulfilled from inventory already in the country and you won’t see all the international stuff.
See below - I was but just got a destination scan without having gotten a departure scan from Newark. Where are you located?anyone else stuck in Newark, NJ?
It really is a white knuckle ride. I think there is a reason Apple doesn’t tell you the thing has shipped until all of that drama is over! 😂Thanks So much! Honestly my little heart probably couldn’t handle the international shipping process. Appreciate your insight!

I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy being stuck in Newark! 😆anyone else stuck in Newark, NJ?
Yeah, some of us in southeast PA/Philly area are definitely not getting our phones today. My earlier tracking updated now and the phones aren't even in PA yet, they just left Maryland. This is first and last time I preorder for shipping delivery - every other iPhone launch I either did walk-in or picked up at the store but this year, Apple Store pickup wasn't available in my area. Oh well....

I think there is still a chance. There are a lot of hours left in the day still and it’s not like your talking about 1,000 miles to go.Same tracking 😕 Still a chance...?
Oh hey fellow Oak Creek, WI facility scan! 👋🏻Woke up to find out my package is at its destination. Ill be picking mine up at the UPS CC. Just waiting for the ready for pick up scan.View attachment 971889
I was thinking about that for the local mall that has the Apple Store that I am picking my device up from. I think mall has been opening later ever since COVID and my appt is at 8am, which is when the Apple Store technically opens. I might just show up around 7:45 and hope they let us into the mall at least, as the Apple Store isn’t near any entrance so it is quite a walk to get there.Mall is locked in Burlington (Canada). My guess is no early morning lineups
I spoke too soon. Just got arrival at Laurel MD and departure from there 8 minutes later, still allegedly arriving today
I only had one option in Canada. Looks like it might be a Monday delivery. Still needs to cross the border and clear customs. Also what’s up with the special handling of “weekday delivery”Thanks!
Oh man that’s so great! I have a FedEx account too in case it goes that route.
I was hoping for it to ship overnight but mine still hasn’t shipped. Fingers crossed. I truly hope you get yours by today/weekend*
Did you pay for Express delivery!? 🤔 maybe that will be what determines the shipper being UPS/FedEx.
So something to consider. I don’t know if it’ll work, maybe someone could shed some light. I changed my delivery to pick up from my local CC, and I got my email this morning that it’s ready for pickup. If I go into the package in ups my choice it does still allow me to pick up my package at a different ups store if I like. I did go through the motions (did not click submit though) and it allowed me to enter in a new address to locate local ups stores. For example I live in southern Wisconsin and I put in a Milwaukee address. It showed me all of my options for there and I could select a ups store downtown and have my package routed there. So you could try this route.Well my phone went right by my house in Louisville and is now in Connecticut. I’ve called Apple and ups both 5 times in last 6 days to change the address. They have all failed. I’m amazed. Guess I’ll just have to buy a new one and goodbye att trade in deal.
