My wife's 7 plus order was stuck in the "reservation" order glitch over the weekend. It got resolved on Sunday evening, and now it shows delivery tomorrow. On the other hand, I was able to order mine without any issues, yet my delivery is now delayed till Monday. Sigh.
Did you request to have your phone held at a hub or store? Or will it be getting delivered to your home? If so, that may be why it got delayed.

Edit: Mine just got delayed as well :(

I'm assuming everyone that are getting these shipping notifications had a promised date of Sept 16th?

Sucks I never even saw that date for my JB 7+.. within 1 minute of the site going live.. sept 26-oct 3rd.. I guess I just got screwed by them..
It seems like AT&T customers got the bad end of the stick. Not sure if thats you but thats what the trend has been looking like.
 
My fate is now in the hands of ups. In Kentucky with an import scan. Just wonder if your delivery is 9/16 and ups is totally overwhelmed is there a chance ups will only work so long and your shipment would be delayed until next business day since they don't deliver Saturday.


I would like to know as well.. same status for me.

If you phone is in Louisville now and you live in the US you will get your phone tomorrow. Your house is probably 10 hours or less from Louisville by plane and truck and that's at the most. UPS works 24 hours a day.
 
They have delivered iPhones on Saturday the past few releases. For the 6 release, I wasn't here to sign and they re-delivered on Saturday. Last year, they miss-sorted my iPhone 6s which delayed it and they delivered it on Saturday instead.

I've had them come as late as 9:30 pm for me on iPhone day... if it's on the truck, they are supposed to get it there. I once had an apple computer where they lied and said they tried to deliver it but didn't actually even come to my house. Was ticked about that.
 
Are the delayed orders the ones that were stranded in Taiwan?
Seems like some are delayed and some aren't. Mine still says "on time". I was trying to figure out if the people who got theirs delayed possible put in a change request that may have their phone delayed until Monday. I need answers asap lol.
 
So no possibility from Anchorage to Ontario for us Southern Californians?

Not to say it couldn't happen, but if the Apple Watch of last year was an example it still went to Louisville then flew on to Ontario. I had that one delivered to office, so it stayed around here. It still made it for delivery that same launch day though.

Mine was the Taiwan/Osaka mishap and I haven't received any notification or changed my delivery options. I am in Ohio. I must say the last time I was guaranteed a delivery date (on the same day it was delayed) I received a free phone case. Weather or not, they should've known by now to confirm a delivery date while having knowledge of this delay.

If you're in KY right now you're getting it tomorrow. I've had mine leave after midnight on launch day from KY and still make it.

Look at the times out of Alaska, they are all pretty late in the day to get to ky by 1am or so in a 30 min window. Then UPS dispatches everything Air from KY to everywhere around 4am or so eastern. That would get it to your hub in time for delivery. Its much more efficient to have then send them to one place, even if it feels out of the way to you then going direct. That being said, there are 1 or 2 flights (vs 10 to Ky) to other airports other than Louisville that stuff does get put on.

But basically everything that's in Alaska in the next 8 hours will get to Ky in time to go anywhere in the US by tomorrow morning based on the times of flights.
My phone also departed Osaka, Japan on 9/15 10:05PM and is scheduled for delivery on 9/16. Which flight is that? I'm like totally lost in tracking already. I thought it was UPS61 but that's a flight from Taiwan to Anchourage, not Japan.
