As I’ve said a few days ago, logistics fascinate me. My wife’s phone was in Wave 1, mine in Wave 2. The Apple notification I posted earlier was for my phone. My import scan just posted as well. My wife’s phone is still waiting. I’m guessing it’s the LIFO (last in, first out) unloading order for the pallets containing the phones. Makes sense.

EDIT: Just got an Apple shipping notification for my wife’s phone. Her import scan should populate shortly.

Import scan at 8:33a. I believe I was part of Wave 1. (11:47a on 9/16 in ZZ).

The only downside - my delivery window was 12:30-4:15p now has shifted to Friday, Sept 22 by 7p. I suspected this would be the case - but disappointing nonetheless!

I’m starting to think it is the LIFO.

Why apple this year!
No holds available?!?

"This option is not eligible due to restrictions placed on the package by the sender"
I think its due to a high number of thefts at the UPS centers the past 2 years and probably a lot of commotion and confusion with rabid apple fans wanting their phones, I mean just look at the desperation in this thread lol, now imagine that manifesting itself in person and directed at UPS employees.. I'm sure UPS complained and they came to an agreement with Apple.

For those of you worrying about not being home when the iPhone arrives, you can download a form from the Apple Store order status page to pre-sign for it.

I don't have that option....yet? Mine hasn't had official import scan, maybe that's to do with it?
