You mean Cathay Pacific Cargo? They used to ship for Apple back in the iPod days but not sure they do anymore. China Post is their USPS and I can guarantee it isn't carrying them. Also most of those flights are passenger flights, although some are freight only.
Got a tip for us?

Same with my 64 gb Silver AT&T
Why is Apple giving priority to people who ordered after us.
Very upset that my 32 GB Silver still hasn't shipped yet.
They are most likely shipping by location. There is no reason to ship all the first round if they are on opposite sides of the country...
You guys need to calm down. I ordered at 12:03, 16gb gold. I'm also waiting for a shipping email so I'm in the same boat as you, but chances are we have shipped and just didn't get info yet. I ordered like this last year too and didn't get the email until 2 days after the phone had been in transit.
My ATT phones 64 gb gold has shipped but looks like it is sitting on the plane. My 32 gb gold for my wife is still preparing but I expect it to ship today. My 64 gb gold will be here Tuesday. The 4s I ordered a couple hours ago has shipped as well!
FWIW: My Space Gray 32GB 5S is due for delivery to my Silicon Valley address by Wednesday according to UPS, by Thursday according to Apple.
Shrug.
For the reference do we just put our phone number and United States? (since thats my destination country)
Number with no dashes, and also people have said to put the zipcode. Not that its worked for me anyways.
In all fairness my order was placed at 12:18/3:18 due to the shipping slipping to 7-10 on the Grey and the Gold as I was ordering them.
I finally made out with the 1-3 expedited on the silver.
If UPS ships via Hong Kong and Anchorage as they usually do the next flight would be 5X 063D leaving Hong Kong 19:15
64/Gold/ATT/3:02AM - Still preparing. I tried reference tracking and couldn't find anything.
Tried all 6 phone numbers, mine (transferring the update, but primary on the account), my dad's (the line getting the upgrade) and my mom's (for some reason the number on the billing address.) I tried them all with and without the leading 1.

I think you are on to something UPS62D will turn into UPS 63D
Hong Kong to Anchorage and
UPS 63 Anchorage to Kentucky.
Since it won't leave until tomorrow
people that are still waiting for their orders to switch to shipped still have time so no panic.

Same annoying boat as you lol.
I'm billing and contact for the order. I'm taking my dad's upgrade. Its my moms verizon account. Lol. None of them worked though.
(And yes for any of you who hate on people who use their parents money, I am paying for my own dang iPhone, so don't even start!)
I'm not sure my iPhone will be delivered by Tuesday though, like many people have reported their UPS shipment status to be.
Heh. I'm 37 with 3 (almost 4) kids. The account is mine. My mom pays me for her phone. My in-laws are on my plan as well. We all teamed up because my employer gets us a 20% FAN on the data. I think my mom's number was my home number when I opened the account 15 years ago. I think that's why hers is still listed on the billing address (it was ported to a cell number a few years ago.)

Just looked at my email from Apple and noticed a space between the first three digits and the last 7. Still no joy. Then logged into myups and it couldn't find a single shipment bound for my address... Hopefully it still goes today. Part of me is wondering if the first batch of Gold phones were already stateside and will not get shipping emails until tomorrow morning (or late tonight.)
UPS usually is pretty accurate, but I wouldn't be thrown off if they estimate one day early.
Haha that's really the way to do it! Its also cheaper because then you have one bigger data pool instead of several smaller ones.
(Congrats on the 4th kid on the way, by the way!)
edit- my phone is Space Gray, so unless its also stateside, this isn't specific to gold I don't believe. I've seen all colors in the same group as me that haven't shipped.
While most one off orders come from China. For large product releases Apple "pre-ships" pallets of phones to the main delivery hubs/distribution stations in the US. I'm fairly confident that is where most of our phones are.
They're not scanned (tracked) until there getting loaded into the trucks.
I would expect most phones to switch over to shipped some time today. Then tomorrow you will have a better idea of when they will be delivered. I wouldn't be surprised that we see people getting them Monday and Tuesday.

Thanks. I have 3 girls and I'm finally getting a boy.
We have 7 phones and 1 iPad that share 15 gig. None of our parents or the iPad ever use more than 500 meg. So me, my wife and my sister-in-law have 13 gig to split. Virtually unlimited in my opinion. And our average cost per line (once you take out the iPad) is around $55. I couldn't find any way to beat it.
Really hoping my phone comes in this week. No other reason that I'm impatient and I like to play with them. I got the 3GS, 4 and 5 on launch day. I skipped the 3G and 4S and got the original iPhone 4 days after launch.
I saw a guy on a space grey walking out of Best Buy on Friday. It looked really good. I'm sure you will love it!
Geez thats a lot of data!
I'm in the same boat, I absolutely don't need it, but I absolutely want it to mess with!

So you think everyone's is stateside, and those who have scanned are being loaded onto trucks to go out from the major hubs?
One of my phones shipped but the other is still preparing.
