Just going to stay home and wait. It's not worth this much hassle to get to deal with an employee at the CC counter who hates her job and everyone who walks into the CC pickup area. :D

At least most of the guys/gals delivering in their trucks are relatively pleasant folk.

That's because UPS is a union job. Only the most senior employees have the "best" jobs. Delivery drivers make pretty good money, and they have the most seniority.

UPS Customer Center.
[doublepost=1537210124][/doublepost]It says pending. And when I called they said that they couldn’t change it.

This is my first year ordering from Apple instead of Verizon. My orders still show preparing to ship. Could someone explain how to track using a reference number? Thank You.

Yep, Mine is in Hong Kong presently.
As is mine, seems that the second batch of phones to show up in UPS tracking were ones going to Hong Kong next. All is well there at airport. They even opened a second runway for extra traffic they are taking from airports that did not do as well in Typhoon. So I expect we will see these leave in next 5-10 hours on their journey to Anchorage ;-)

Yes that just showed up on most major Mac sites a minute ago. Too big a impact on economy that Washington did not want to mess with I guess. Who knows next year?

And it appears that I was wrong about cases and accessories NOT shipping via UPS - at least for this year... just got my SHIPPED notification on an Apple phone case... and you guess it - it's coming UPS.

Well this is strange....I just looked at my tracking and it notes "Tentative"...is this due to weather delays in China? I have not made any changes, and when I bring up full tracking, it does not note tentative.

Last year I had a late delivery date and still got it on launch day. I was hoping I will be lucky again this year.
I was in same boat with you. Ordered T-Mobile 256GB Silver Max and got confirmation at 12:06 AM but got the 9/28-10/5 delivery date. Same thing happened last year with the X and I was hopeful for the same outcome, but considering I should have ordered the SIM-free instead, I ended up finding a SIM-free model for pick-up in the same color and storage size I wanted at a local store for pick-up on launch day and decided to cancel my order instead. I do hope yours is moved up to launch day delivery.

I was able (just now) to change the delivery to my nearest UPS CC location (Anaheim, California). I called the UPS 800 number to do it. I changed both of my deliveries (iPhone and Watch). The lady said both packages would be available for pickup between 7:30 AM and 7:00 PM on Friday, the 21st. So, I'm thinking I'll go there before work! Nice!

Yes it says UPS. I know it would normally be FedEx but I got a UPS tracking # from Apple
Thankful it’s UPS this year. My area driver once gave me his cell phone in case I need to reach him for package deliveries. I know who I’m calling Friday.
