Can you check to see if you are able to track your order on the UPS/Fedex website, by using your billing phone number as the reference number?
 
I checked FlightAware (just because I'm weird) and see three UPS planes going from Hong Kong to Anchorage. I don't know if that's a usual amount, but seems like a lot. Especially all in flight.

EDIT: False alarm! Looking further, I see all of these flights are normal UPS flights. :(

Would they come through Hong Kong? There are also flights in the air from their China hub in Shanghai. Also...it doesn't matter they are regularly scheduled. UPS will commonly bump other freight to make room for a later large shipment they know is coming. So the normal stuff that would be on there could have been moved early or could be pushed for a day or two.

I tried on both websites but nothing came up? What is the format "with dashes?"

I just finished talking to APPLE to change from standard shipping to expedited but too late; once it's preparing to ship they can't change it.

He also said my phone was in the first or second wave and that he's pretty sure it's stateside already so should be pretty soon to Atlanta. If it's in the 3-7 crowd it'll probably come from Asia. Hope the storm doesn't add time to anyone's wait.

Pretty sure it's just your billing phone number (without dashes), country, and zip code.

My Sprint Gold 16gb iPhone 5S just changed to preparing to ship.
I got my confirmation email at 3:02 EST. I also paid for expedited shipping.
I didn't get a email for the status change yet, I've just had the order page bookmarked and keep clicking on it secretly hoping a tracking number will appear saying "out for delivery". Of course, not even the Apple gods could fulfill my wish.
 
YESSSSSSSSSS I'm now in the Preparing for Shipment club!
64 GB Gold :):)

My little sister's has also changed to Preparing, 16 GB Gold.

Mostly, I'm just happy that "Cancel items" button is gone. So I can't accidentally click it.
 
Mine just went to Preparing for Shipment as well. Glad the "Cancel item" button is gone as well.

Ok I couldn't get an order in on t mobiles site it kept crashing at 3am launch day. So I sucked it up on the apple site and had an oct 7-11 date grrrrr. Called t mobile just to see without any real hope. And I was able to put 99 down on a 16 gb 5s and it will be here the 23-24!!!!!! and she upgraded it to next day so I get it faster. Went from waiting 2 plus weeks for a full price 5s (701$$) to only putting 99 down getting one this week. Man I got lucky.
