mine is preparing to ship as well 🥳 what’s strange however is that the iPad mini that I ordered yesterday doesn’t have a progress bar at all anymore 🤔
 
I’ve always lurked in these threads in years past but I figured I would join in on the fun.
I ordered on the Employee Discount Store at around 8:20am, it only took off $20 for AppleCare but $20 is $20. I also put an order in on the regular store as soon as it opened just as a backup. I had Apple Card problems on the EPP order and I actually didn’t realize it went through until I checked later, so I was able to cancel my original order without the discount. Now waiting for PTS!

I placed another preorder through my ATT Business Premeir account for a 13 Pro Max 256GB Sierra Blue with delivery 9/24 around 4PM CST. I guess stock is good this year, but my manager and my procurement team still needs to approve it. Probably wont see approval until next week, so let’s hope I still can get it 9/24.
 
That's a little odd, but all these statuses are essentially meaningless.

The delivery date is the delivery date 99% of the time with Apple.
Yeah the site and confirmation email both said Friday so I’m not too worried. But like someone else said I like watching the bar haha

True, but the statuses indicates that the order is progressing and there are no foulups. So far. My Mini and smartfolio are also "arriving" but that's only because the system is slammed and can't read all the info from whatever DBs they use. That will clear up in a day or so.

If it makes you feel any better, all those updates are arbitrary. It's either in China (most likely), Anchorage, Memphis, or Louisville. It won't arrive until friday.
All the iPhones are currently in China right now. Not a single iPhone has left China. (Only the famous YouTubers or people in Tech Industry has them. Because of the reviews being due on Tuesday) The iPhones are sitting at a Foxconn factory, ZhongZhou, China. Waiting for it to be processed. They are currently being assigned based on what you ordered.
 
I did the pre-pre-order and got up at 4:45AM to finish. By 5:15am I was done and went back to sleep for a bit.

I have never ordered this way. I am concerned a little bit because even though I was able to confirm I am able to make changes on the account the account is in my parents name and Apple told me in a separate call that sometimes the order will go to the account holder. I am also hoping a note asking to leave in my hallway at home which requires a key to enter works.

Has anyone heard of items going to an account owner even though a different address was on the shipping address?
