Otho g like staying up and ordering 2 or 3 minutes into the preorder window and still not get a launch day delivery. Mine shows in UPS for Monday.
 
I wouldn't assume that. UPS may not deliver over the weekend (unless someone pays for Saturday delivery), but I'd expect these shipments will be moving over the weekend. I don't think it's as simple as treating Monday as the day after Friday.

I know I’m not getting it Saturday. But the UPS machine moves 24/7. If the date shows 9/24 we will get them then unless there are weather or travel delays.
 
SG 256GB XS Max
Apple showing the 28th
Delivery App Showing UPS: Delivery Date Unknown
UPS MyChoice shows Monday 24th.
 
Order confirmed at 2:37am central time, Gold XS max 256 ATT and cc was charged Tuesday night, still says preparing for shipping. I’m upset all these other people have moved to shipped and some ordered way later than me.

That's my point. Your last post said we were hours away from getting them on 9/21. I'm saying I don't agree because there are 3 days for the phones to be moved around the world between 9/21 and 9/24. It's not just as simple as that if the phones had been processed a few hours earlier, we'd have gotten them on Friday instead of Monday.
 
Guess my original prediction was right!

Finally see my tracking label and UPS is showing Monday for me as well.
 
Same Sept 28 - October 5th delivery window, Got the shipping tracking number from apple, which shows no delivery date, but doing a search by reference number shows it as delivering Monday 9/24.

If they are originating from China and not the US we definitely aren't getting them tomorrow on launch day, but I'll take Monday over next friday any day!

If UPS does not yet have a date for your shipment, try tracking it by reference number and use your phone number. For some reason, I get a lot more information doing it that way than by entering the tracking number. <snip>

Forgot about that. When I track by reference the tracking number shows an origin scan in ZhengZhou and a delivery date of Monday. Thanks!

Tracking by Reference Number (phone number) shows Monday for me as well.

At least I don't have any appointments coming in on Monday, so I should have plenty of time at work to get it setup and play around with it.

I meant if they would have gotten them processed earlier in the day (hours however many that may be) we might have gotten them by Friday based on how many flights go out of China daily with UPS.
 
I am now in the same boat, with a delivery on Monday. Will be tracking the progress on the UPS Site, anxiously waiting on any and all updates. To bad I/we can't reschedule for a Saturday delivery/pickup. I am a bit green to see people getting their phones tomorrow and having all weekend to get used to it. I am coming from a 6+ and going to a Xs MAX, so its a HUGE jump for me. Now the struggles, other than not getting it until Monday, will be learning how to live without a home button as I have been used to using that since the 3gs.

Good luck to everyone, and look forward to seeing/reading about all of the updates as we start this journey across the world.
 
I got a shipping notification, but no information has populated in UPS yet. Hopefully there will be an update later in the day. I'm betting Monday/Tuesday delivery.
 
I had my credit card charged last night around 10 PM CST. My Apple.com page shows "Preparing to Ship". There is no UPS update.

I am hoping this means that maybe I will still land on a Monday delivery since we have the weekend for extra travel time?

Excited to see everyone's devices moving.

A few years ago, when I was up all night ordering the 6 Plus....I placed the order at the opening bell and got a delivery date of about 4 weeks out. SO... placing this order on Friday afternoon and getting a deliver on the Monday after debut.......not complaining at all.

Ok, this is kind of odd. Now the scheduled delivered for UPS is saying "information unavailable."

Definitely will be here Monday the 24th according to UPS! better that September 28- October 5th! Hope you get a September 24 date too!
 
My order finally flipped to Preparing to Ship last night and my credit card was charged. Now the UPS obsession begins, waiting for a tracking number. I doubt at this point I'll be in the Monday delivery batch, unless it updates to Shipped very soon.
