Oh dear. Yikes. Yiu deserve your vacation but yikes. Is it going to be held for you if it ship while you on vacation? Does T-Mobile make you have to sign for it? Verizon does.

Placed my order yesterday afternoon, currently have a pending charge from T-Mobile that expires on the 6th. Had first case arrive today.
On a side note I searched through my email for last years note release and received the "It's on it's way" email on 8/14 and when I click on the tracking number it was delivered on 8/18. We could have phones in our hands next week.

At this point the Tmobile site is not helpful. The ups website is what you need to watch. I've had my phone in hand for 2 days before Tmobiles site updated.

That is where mine is too , I don't think they are waiting for the shipments to come into the country, hell they can get a plane over here in a matter of hours but I can almost bet you that they are there at the UPS HUB ..... they just haven't been cleared for delivery..... I have a hard time with the fact that a tracking # with your phone's IMEI attached to it is not here, waiting to be picked up. They know where they are going and it doesn't take a wizard to scan a barcode. I have ordered things off Amazon and gotten that day and usually by the next. It's not rocket science. I just think they should just not post anything until it's ready to go. When TMobile sent out those messages it made everyone think that they were being shipped and by that we think SHIPPED...ON IT"S WAY TO OUR HOUSE!!!They should just tell the truth as to why they have to sit there this long after carriers place the order or not say they are shipped until UPS actually has it scanned into the system and ready to go out. If you get one day shipping, 2 day or standard shipping that phone should go out and arrive in that allotted time.
Well, now that I got my first rant off for the day, how is everyone else's day going? It raining here, so maybe that is why I am so grumpy!!!~

I may do that this time. Even though it says Signature Required, my last 3 TMO phone orders have been dropped off by UPS at my apartment doorstep and I had to run home from work so they didn't get ripped off.

I know I'm not going to make any friends with this post, but after seeing this happen so many times I have to put this out there.
Please understand, I have been on JOD for years and always pre-order the newest flagships, so I have TONS of experience with this. Those who have also been through this with the Note 7 and other flagship phones can attest to this:
They are not shipping your phones. It doesn't matter if your card was charged, your IMEI was issued, UPS received the information for the shipment, or UPS shows an estimated delivery date (looking at you, Sprint customers)
It doesn't matter how many email T-Mobile sent you about the shipping charge going through, your updated agreement, or text messages about it getting ready to ship. It's not happening.
For those of us who have been with T-Mobile for years, we all know what happened, but for those of you that don't, here is the deal:
T-Mobile used to ship their pre-orders early - I mean really early, and before all the other carriers. When T-Mobile continued to do this with Samsung Flagship phones (esp. the S7 & S7 Edge), it started to become an issue - other carriers started crying about it to Samsung, because it made them look bad when T-Mobile delivered earlier than they did. So Samsung changed the rules - the carriers were not allowed to ship until a set date given by Samsung, "or else". Hence the Note 7 pre-order thread choas, very similar to what you are seeing here. Samsung will only allow carriers to ship 2 days before the release date, which is why you see estimated ship dates of Sept. 13th-15th officially from T-Mobile.. however, they will likely start shipping the 12th because T-Mobile is still T-Mobile and they always try to skirt the rules a little bit.
However, do not expect anything to ship before the 12th. The only way this would change is if Samsung themselves allow it, because they shipped their former Note 7 owners phones already.. otherwise not only will the carriers make Samsung themselves look bad, but then the former Note 7 owners will be up in arms complaining that they didn't get theirs "first" as promised directly on Samsung's website.
Excitement is great, and I'm right there with you - but the constant checking of UPS to see if your shipment status changed is just a waste of time. If you really can't help yourself, just check in the wee morning hours of the 13th - you will see movement then, guaranteed. Anything before that would be an anomaly based on current practices.
Just my two cents. Hope I'm wrong here, but I don't think so.
