I seem to be stuck on... "A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status will be updated."

Is that normal?

same boat as you! :(
Apple seems to usually have a tight grip on shipping services at launch, so I hope it will still really ship.
After all: Creating/printing a shipping label is not the same as actually shipping and handing it over.

No, thats normal. Luckily i have alot of DHL Express experience. Even if czech is not the destination country, they can pretty much go anywhere from that to your door within 12 hours. If its in the hands of DHL Express you're good.

Strange situation: Shipped, est. delivery 3 nov. DHL sms notification received and delivery 3 Nov by end of the day. Now APPLE say: 4 nov. And DHL still saying 3 nov.... So strange !
yup same for me. actually says "The piece has arrived later than normally scheduled and cannot make its expected planned movement / delivery cycle" for me now. delivery date on apple website is 4th now and DHL tracking still says 3rd. my other order shipped by UPS hasn't even been scanned yet. jeez apple
Don't worry, I got that too. It will arrive tomorrow as the most precise date is the one provided by DHL. Plus DHL or UPS don't deliver on Saturdays.
that's not true. my iphone 6 came on saturday with DHL express cause they ****ed up my launch day delivery. hope it doesn't happen again. i'd be pissed

Where did you see this message about the delay? Dhl tracking or in the Apple website?

Apple website now says 4 November for me,...... app says 3 November, dhl says 3 November

DHL tracking. it's a little red + sign and right nex to it, it says "Further Detail"
i received my case with DHL express yesterday and that one went the same route as the phone and it actually left leipzig at 4 at night. so i think there's still hope. i guess the packages just missed the earlier plane and it will get processed later tonight (hopefully)

shipments are on hold because the facility got flooded with iphone parcels and that's why it's taking longer.

i dont think that our delivery dates will be changing though.. i still have hope!!

this is what my tracking looked like for the case, the 31st was a holiday in germany and that's why it wasn't delivered until the day after. see how it was processed in leipzig at 23:11 that night.
