If you had the option to choose in-store pick up at your local Apple store and was able to choose 8 am slot, that would have been the fastest way. :). I ended up just ordering for delivery instead. When I got on right when it open, the available for in-store pick up was not available for Sierra Blue Sim-Free 1 TB Pro Max.
Ordered the exact same as you. Im picking up in store for the first time ever. My UPS truck comes too late

Im getting my phone delivered to my office, which is normal for me, but I recently started a new job and don’t know when the truck usually comes! At my old office it was 3 doors down from the ups cc and we were the first stop!
 
Correct! I expect to see some activity this evening or later tonight. Expect iPhones to start shipping and traveling out from China on Sunday.

Last year, huge pallets of iPhones missed the flight and there was a slight delay for the iPhones to be out of China on time. I believe it was the #9:20 gang. Believe it or not, Apple had to pull the strings. Make the calls, There was a panic attack there. The Cargolux Aviation team confirmed it with me. For reference see below, please :) post #18,023.

I remember that!!! That was crazy!!! I really hope we see some movement tonight or overnight! It's always exciting tracking!

OMG I forgot about this.. I was part of this gang last year. 🤣
 
I ordered right away this morning, at 8:03am EDT, and have a delivery date if 9/24. Order is still in process. Does anyone still have this status or has it moved.
Me, ordered around same time as you, stuck in Processing endlessly.

I think it’s safe to say that most of us who preordered right away this morning will have our phones Friday
Safe to say yes, I've never had one arrive late, but I know some people have. Every year some people suffer a snaffoo but delivery times are correct for most people.

Yes I was part of the 9:20 gang with my 12 pro max. Now part of the 1TB 13 ProMax crew whose time slipped to 10/6-10/12 after 5 minutes plus- my app wouldn’t even open till 5 past and the stupid one minute to reverify my card entered in the pre-preaproval processes cost me opening day.
