Glad to hear so many of you will be receiving your iphones in the next couple of days! Mine still says Preparing for Shipment (since Sat. evening)! Ordered the Silver 32 GB AT&T version. Anyone else still waiting for theirs to ship that went into Preparing for Shipment sat. evening?
Got a tip for us?

Tim Cook has outfitted the UPS planes for mid-air refueling. See link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aS21gewC7oY
Definitely afternoon...early afternoon at the earliest. It's already going to be cutting it close to make it through Louisville in time.
Haha yeah.. this is why I prefer ordering online to waiting in line - you can't stalk UPS flights from an Apple store!
32gb gold vzw still preparing to ship... Ordered right at 12am with email confirm at 12:02. Yep, I think mine is stuck in limbo.
Yup, same here. I have seen this before with UPS, something to do with the time zone thing i think.
It didn't. There is no place indicated because it was from the factory to the depot ("China" to ZhengZhou). Origin is the label printing and the first departure is it being picked up from the factory.

Pay for the premium UPS MyChoice
Correct me if I'm wrong but is it not just the same city? To me it looks like it was loaded up and driven across town or something.
You don't have to pay to get delivery windows. You have to pay to choose a specific delivery window. Just sign up for MyChoice and you will get the delivery window. They send me an email with delivery windows every time a package is heading to my address with my name on it.
Did standard shipping:
Original Expected arrival 30Sep - 2 Oct.
Just received shipping/tracking information:
Expected arrival 25 Sep 2013.
So a little faster than I had expected. Yeah!

My phone is scheduled to be delivered Tuesday PM. What I find incredible is how they pull that off when it left Korea this morning.
If the plane stops in anchorage (all my other apple stuff did) at 1 p.m. AK time, it will be 5 p.m. Louisville time. If it leaves by 2 p.m. AK time, then it would arrive at 1 a.m. Tuesday morning in Louisville. A truck from Louisville to Dallas would take 12-14 hours so that doesn't work. A plane to Alliance airport (Ft. Worth) would be a couple of hours which would work but from the plane it would need to hit the Dallas hub by 4 a.m. and from there to the Denton center by 6-7 a.m. to be out for delivery.
I'll really really be impressed with UPS/Apple if they pull this off. It just seems incredible to me.....if it comes Wednesday or even Thursday that's cool me with me. Order on Friday and get it on Friday has been my norm anyway. It just seems like Apple has got these phones out faster than I've ever seen before.
I know many think apple has dropped the ball but from what I see, this is a world class rollout.

Yes, I have two phones with the exact same last scan as yours. Based on what I've seen of others who have more scans, ours will be sitting there without any further activity until around 5am Eastern time (5pm China).
Also, based on my refreshing, most of my scans have shown up in the online tracking about 2-3 hours after they actually happened. So check around 8am Eastern tomorrow morning and we should see our phones on their way out of China.
Yeah, I assumed you changed it though as my predicted window is still "End of Day" in this instance.
Wholeheartedly agree. It's really amazing how such a large volume can be moved around the world so quickly... it really makes you take a step back and put the global economy into prospective.
