Anyone with a pre-order of ATT 256 GB black Iphone 7+ with with delivery date of 9/23-9/27? If so, what is your status? Mine is still in processing and it seems the pre-orders that are being moved up to earlier arrival are the 128 GB models. Seems like a shortage on 256 GB models.

Only a couple more days to go until I really start to get worried :(.

My order for ATT 256GB Black 7+ was completed on 9/9 at ~3:15am. Delivery date was supposed to be 9/23-9/27. Started Preparing for Shipment last Wednesday night/Thursday morning. Shipped yesterday at around noonish. UPS tracking says delivery tomorrow (9/20) by end of day.

It's kind of weird cause the only scans so far are the origin and location scans in ZengZhou from yesterday... Hopefully it's either almost in Anchorage/Louisville or somewhere into the US!

Thankfully, I won't have to wait that long because I'm a Teamster and all the UPS guys in my area are all in my local. Anytime I have a package coming, one of my brothers will grab it for me and I'll get meet up with him first thing tomorrow morning as he starts his route :)
 
I just had an online chat specialist tell me unequivocally that no one is getting stuff shipped who had later dates than Sept, and certainly not October and all these posts were likely lies, and my 256 Black 7+ would definitely ship by the 21st and arrive "just in time" of 9/27-29.

Where do they find these people??

My order just shipped! Orginal delivery date was 10/4-10/10. I am getting mine on wednesday as per UPS tracking site!

Order was for 128GB 7+ JB.
 
To all the ones worried about your phone arrive on 9/20 and possible 9/21 they will be in Alaska in about 4 1/2 hours... they are on their journey to us all!
I take it this is UPS81 from Shanghai to Anchorage (PVG-ANC)
Do the iPhones that leave ZhengZhou/CGO take smaller planes to Shanghai or Hong Kong?
 
My 7+ 256GB Jet Black is on the truck for delivery now and UPS usually delivers around lunch time so within the next 2 hours, I'm guessing it will be here.

Original deliver date was 9/26 - 10/3

Apple site still shows delivery date as 9/21

dont listen to the guy who responded that you won't have it. Shipping dates are usually on point, might be slim chance you wait an extra day. Sometimes shipping details don't update immediately or in a timely fashion for that matter

Just wait for 'out for delivery' to appear in the morning. I'd say around 5-6am'ish when the trucks are getting loaded.

Good luck.

Well, my leather case just arrived and the UPS tracking info recently updated, it's in Incheon, Korea, so I guess their ETA for Wednesday might be right, even though its kind of disappointing because apple said it will deliver today...

I had the same experience on chat last night...my guy didn't go as far as to call these posts lies, but he insisted that no later orders were being shipped ahead of mine.
 
Ok, Just wanted to give everyone with an expected ship date of Oct 4-10 a heads up.
I ordered a matt black iPhone 7 plus 128Gb GSM on launch night. A verification email came in at 3:18am EST with a ship date of Oct 4-10. On Saturday I noticed my order went into "preparing for shipment" and just a few minutes ago I got an email saying it has shipped with an expected delivery of 9/23. I went on to the UPS site and typed in my phone number which showed that the last location of my package was "ZhengZhou, China, Monday, 09/19/2016" and gives a delivery of "Wednesday, 09/21/2016, By End of Day".

OK, Exact same thing happened to me, with card getting charged on saturday and status changing to preparing for shipment. I just got the same delivery date as you (9/21). Original delivery date was 10/4-10/10. I guess both of ours would be on the same flight! Where is yours headed to ?

Same for me. I got a notice thime morning that it shipped and will arrive 23 Sep. The original estimate was 4 to 14 October.
Awesome! Where's yours headed to? I just replied to another person's post on this thread in the same boat. Guess all of our phones will be on the same flight!

I also have ATT 256GB Black 7+, originally had delivery date of 9/23 - 9/27. I got the notification that it shipped yesterday. UPS originally had delivery scheduled for tomorrow (Tuesday), but they just bumped it back to Wednesday a few minutes ago. :0

My Chat lady called them Lies. That word. Made me laugh a bit (and was a little insulting) because it's like... yeah, hundreds of people on the internet are in a giant lie prank conspiracy. Complete with forged screenshots and everything. Do your homework, lady. Or don't. But if you don't, don't speak in absolutes at least.

I've got the same one pre-ordered. Originally, it had a "Delivers" date range of 9/23 - 9/27. The status was updated from "Preparing for shipping" to "Shipped" early yesterday morning. The current tracking at the Apple site says that the est delivery is 9/22, yet when I check the tracking on UPS, it said that the est. delivery is tomorrow (although the location scan says that it's still in China).
 
2 questions related to tracking by reference:

1) Is ANYONE's coming via FEDEX? Looks like UPS is the only one I am seeing any info on from other posters.

2) I try tracking by Reference on UPS and Fedex using my phone number (Do I use a leading 1?) my Apple Order # and my Apple Order # lopping off the last 2 digits. Do I need to be doing anything else? I input my country and my zip code as well, naturally.
