so i changed mine to pickup at UPS store...good move? UPS delivers around 7 pm local time, so i thought this would be better

not necessarily... I don't have any personal experience.. but some people have been saying that those 3rd party owned UPS stores have been known to not have/make the phone available til the next day...

I, personally, wouldn't have chanced it... I hope yours is ok!
 
What's the news on us TaiwanOsamaAlaska kids? When does it leave/land? Mine had always said 16th so that's good!
 
Show us the box!!!
You better believe if I got mine early I would fill this thread with pics of it.

If it's a UPS Customer Center, then you can pick it up tomorrow during their normal business hours. If it is just a UPS store, then you just got delayed 24 hours before you can pick it up.
 
ya... that's kinda what's been said in past years... I know I've read this year that people planned to go to the store and cancel if they could get one... I wondered if something had changed!

I thought about doing that one year (forget which one) but then apple put us to PFS the day before release! I swore they did it just so we couldn't cancel and get one in the store! :p

Ugh! Beyond annoying. I really hate I pre-ordered. I'm way too impatient. Never doing this again.

ya... but look at the people who didn't preorder this year: no pluses in the store! no telling how long til they get caught up enough to put stock in the stores! I always take my chances with preordering.. the times I've had issues, that I haven't gotten it release day.. I admit I'm always really pissed off! but at least I have one or know I have one coming!

I have a feeling next year is going to be worse!
 
My original date range of 9/27-9/29 has not moved, despite CC charged and status now Preparing.
 
Ugh. Every two years I go through this. No exercise, no socializing, nothing but obsessively refreshing web pages for hours at a time. Damn you, "Preparing for Shipment"!

haha! well I did have to get up and march at my desk for one minute every hour to get my move credit on my watch!

Same here Brotato Chip. However, i'm not worried because my iPhone 7 comes tomorrow and if my Plus follows the same pattern, we should be able to find our tracking info probably tomorrow.

I agree! Probably a lot worse. I'm going to up my preorder game next year. I kinda was slacking this year thinking I would be okay and missed launched day delivery.
