Mine has shipped via ups from china. Ordered from apple. Tracking found on ups.com, track by reference and use your phone number.

Thank you so much for this. Yes, my iphone5 (32GB/GSM) also shipped via UPS and waiting in china with lottta of its siblings.:)

Does anyone know if Verizon will give out a form of tracking? I still have my pre-order confirmation number, and I can put that in to check the status, but it still says "your order has been received and is being processed" with a date of 9/21 on it. It's possible that mine hasn't shipped yet, but I saw someone say that Verizon doesn't allow you to track your package. Did anybody who ordered through Verizon last year get a tracking number?

Also, I live in an apartment style dorm building. We have people at the front desk 24/7 who take packages and sort them for each student. Will they be alright signing for my package?

I ordered from both Apple and Verizon and my Apple iPhone has shipped but I have not received anything from Verizon at all.

Does anyone know if orders that were placed thru carriers like Verizon are starting to pop up as shipped and/or have any info?

Check the Verizon sticky at the top of the forum that's why they're there.

----------

Question, everyone who is getting the tracking information ordered directly from Apple.com or also the ATT/VZ or sprint's website ?

I ordered at about 1:42 am on the 14th and am in California (Assume UPS) BUT I ordered directly from AT&T.

Still no tracking avail from UPS site. :-(

Check the stickied AT&T thread. Last year I never got any tracking updates. I got a tracking number, but it's first update was the day my phone delivered (launch day).

It found my package on UPS with both my billing phone number and AT&T order number, but not all details were available yet. I'll take this as a good sign though, I was a bit worried since I ordered at 7:30am Pacific, and then had to call to confirm my identity which I didn't do until 10:30am Pacific due to work.

Goodyear AZ.... for now.
I see mine us on the way! Its a 64GB white GSM version. I got it ordered at about 20 after midnight.

The line that I upgraded didnt show the status but the main phone number on the account pulled it up. Try all the phone numbers you have!

Delivering to AZ.

Last year, I ordered the 4S when it was first available for preorder and I was able to track mine. I didn't get a tracking email from Verizon until two days before it was delivered, but I think I remember finding it before that with the reference number.

No but in the past few hours the backorder status changed from 1 to 0. No other info yet. ATT told me they would be shipping them Fedex overnight.

Someone make me feel better and tell me they ordered right when preorders started, but still can not view their tracking info by searching by reference...

Did you get a 16GB?
If so, it appears those are already in the US and require less travel time, that's why it hasn't been located on UPS. My 16GB still does not come up on UPS, but is "pending shipping" on Apple's website.

Yes it's a 16GB. Mines "prepared for shipping" on Apple's website.

I got my order in with apple at 14 after for a 32GB and mine still hasn't shipped. Perhaps some of the 32's are in the US as well...

Since Fedex ships faster, I think East coast and Central customers will receive their phones from them. Leaving Mountain time and West coast customers with UPS.

I've had 'preparing for shipment' for 4 different i5's since yesterday.

Can confirm because the UPS method doesn't work for me.

FedEx ships all over the world. I'm on the West Coast, everything I order from Apple.com that originates from China, is routed through customs in Alaska, then on to California.

Best of all, Apple ships FedEx overnight by 10:30 am next day. It's nice to not have to wait until late in the day.
