Just to give some people hope, I have a Verizon 7+ 128gb JB that I ordered with order conf coming in at 3:15am. I am in the Sept 26-Oct 3 camp. My card was just charged and it has changed to preparing for shipment. No tracking in UPS yet nor showing up in my support profile, but it finally has movement. It's still showing as Sept 26-Oct 3 but hey, movement is movement. I'm hopeful to have it next week.
 
hey GUYS!

MY debit card has just got charged by Apple and my estimate delivery date is; Delivers 27 Sep, 2016 - 29 Sep, 2016 by Standard Shipping

FINGERS CROSSED!

HERE is the info:

here is the info:
32gb Black (T-MO)
Got my confirmation e-mail at 3.10 EST

I just got charged also.
Black 7+ 256GB Black AT&T - Same delivery dates. Here is to hoping we get our phones early next week.
 
My daughter is So Ca. just called apple and they said not to worry, they will still make it.
She got the exception notice of delay from UPS so I dunno who's right.
Here's hoping apple is right on this one!

Ya.... I called too and she said they are hoping it still makes it/their site still says tomorrow. She said if it didn't get there tomorrow, to call them back to see what they could do. I had already mentioned that they needed to have Saturday deliveries for us west coasters if they didn't make it tomorrow!

Apple is big enough and I'm willing to bet there are enough phones coming out west, for UPS to either put another plane in the air to get them to a hub out here TOMORROW in time to deliver tomorrow... or something.

I'm seriously bummed! :(

My CC was just charged, woohoo! Hopefully I will soon see the status change on Apple... :D It's progress for us 9/27-9/29 people.

Same here,
My card just got charged & status shows prepped for ship:

7+ stealth black 256 att, order confirmed @ 1:15 MST, dates pre-call were 27-29, then 20-22, now 23-27.
 
There's no weather, that I can tell, that is affecting THIS flight! It's already airborne and scheduled to land in Alaska.. if the typhoon was affecting it, it wouldn't have left japan!

well right...but the typhoon yesterday is what caused all this backup. it should've been in AK yesterday already but there was a ground stop and closure at Taipei airport because OF the typhoon and it was like 125 mph winds...pretty sure they aren't going to risk any pilots' lives for iphones..plus, how pissed would you be if you had heard the plane carrying your iphone went down b/c UPS wanted to make customers happy so they could get their phone on launch day?

i mean, i get it. it sucks. we were all expecting phones on launch day and we woke up at the crack of dawn to order...but all this is so #firstworldproblem. the more i'm reading this thread the more i'm smh b/c there are legit lives in taiwan and china that are affected by this (my family included; they live in Taiwan) and we're all up & arms over a natural disaster that caused people to not get their phones on launch day.
 
Thank you for the flight number! I was able to put it into the fightaware app on my phone with that! looks like it doesn't get into Louisville until 1:10 a.m. UPS needs to do Saturday deliveries. Someone dropped the ball on this shipment saying all along the 16th and now changing it at the last minute....

no one dropped the ball on this!!! they can't predict natural disasters!!
 
FINALLY got a pending charge on my credit card, still nothing in support profile or tracking. I think tomorrow isn't a possibility. :(

The typhoon kept it in Taiwan an extra day, then it left for Japan and onward.

Mine is preparing for shipment now. Date still 27-29 so far and credit card has charged. Matte black 264 gb plus
 
My 32GB iPhone 7+ order with 9/27-9/29 delivery estimate just switched to preparing for shipment!
 
So..... just a thought... anyone familiar enough with UPS and how stuff may be packed on those pallets....

Any way that UPS could send the pallets of west coast phones down the coast instead of across the country?

again... just a thought....
 
When you look outside and see this on your front porch:

Only to realize that they are your return boxes from Brightstar, and not the new iPhones a day early. :)
 
I'm in the Sept 23rd-Sept 27th group and had basically assumed nothing would change, so I felt at peace. Now everyone is getting charged and the excitement has ramped up. Oops.

UPS says the package is delayed until Monday. However many times before Apple would ship a day before release day and it would still get here in time. There's still hope. I'm thinking UPS is just being conservative.
