I think so. They don't charge until they are just about ready to ship. My guess is it will ship this weekend. That's what has happened with other orders I have placed. Usually within 2-3 days of "preparing."
I see yours is Space Grey, I wonder if the elusive gold will start to prepare to ship!!
 
Fantastic News!

I think I'm trembling a little as I type this...

Ordered: 09/20 @ 12:04 PST, confirmation email arrived at 12:06 PST

Item: 32g gold iPhone 5s AT&T

Was put into the 7-10 day category and have remained in processing status up until I last checked at 12:30pm.

Checked just now, 3:55pm and my cancel button is gone and it now states preparing for shipment.

My card has been charged. I last checked my account about an hour ago and it had not been charged yet.

I did call back on the 20th to have my shipping changed to expedited. The delivery estimate remains unchanged, delivers Oct. 7-10 by 2-3 business days.

Finally! I can stop refreshing this page every 10 minutes!
 
I just realized that I selected expedited shipping with my order and was charged for it on my order confirmation email but the charge to my credit card didn't include the $10 fee. Maybe they are waiving the fee? :confused:
 
Nothing on mine yet :(
Still processing

Att 16gb Gold

Does this cost extra to have it changed to faster shipping? Stupid question probably.


CANCEL BUTTON IS GONE ON MINE ALSO :)
 
I need that cancel button to go away!!!

No change on mine.

I think it depends on who you talk to. Since the faster shipping was only going to speed up my delivery time by a day, the Apple rep didnt charge me.
