They told me this too. But expedited can potentially pick up a day after they clear customs.
Got a tip for us?

I highly doubt they'll be taking off 4 days right when production needs to be heaviest. Not happening.
Have you ever worked with China? It's not negotiable. Even their post office stops processing during the Chinese National Day. It's government mandated.
National Day is second only to the New Year and a week off is typical.
When I got my 4S from att it came by fedex, but the 5 came via UPS when ordered thru apple
Last year my wife and I both ordered 5's through AT&T and one showed up each on UPS and FedEx.
They will probably start shipping Monday the 23rd. I will expect mine on Friday 27th. (a little early) 
If not, then the following Monday the 30th as they stated but deff by Wed. the 2nd and no later.
I'm still counting on next Friday since they will not have a "HOLD" as other years so here's hoping.

Order confirmation received at 12:08am PST (I think I got my order in around 12:03 PST)
Apple Care+ has been debited from my checking account, still haven't been charged for the iPhone.
Shipping estimate with the the expedited 2-3 day shipping is Sep 27 - Oct 1 (Must be because i'm on the West Coast?)

I got the same expedited shipping for $10 more. And i'm on the East coast! Maybe just luck?
My account was just debited for my Silver 64GB 5s
Mine as well, 5:20pm pacific time
Fortunately this is one of the plusses of living in NYC for me. I routinely receive items from all different businesses earlier than the posted dates, I think I'm just lucky because packages get into major cities faster. I routinely order things from Amazon with 2 day shipping and receive them the next day. The few times in the past that Apple has given me an estimated delivery date, I've always received it earlier than that date. This would include my iPhone 4S and iPad 3rd Gen, and my sister's iPad Mini.

My credit card was charged the full amount this evening. Can't tell for sure but it has to be late afternoon or early evening.
Wowww, Looks like the shipping department is preparing the first wave of 1-3 business day US orders..
So excited!!

No idea.. I read in another thread that an Apple sales rep said Chinese Holiday is about to start in the next few days?
I haven't Googled it or asked any of my Chinese friends, so who knows.
I guess it's called National Day and it's Oct 1-7: http://www.travelchinaguide.com/essential/public-holiday.htm
I don't see how they can shut down a Factory that runs 24/7, for an entire week.
