No, but I hate staring at this black iPhone 5S case that was delivered a week, hopefully not two weeks, early. I need to vent.

You won't get an e-mail for that, but your bank account will have been charged.
Relatively last, but here's the outlook:
Ordered at 3:00-3:03 AM: shipped already
Ordered at 3:04-3:08 AM: possibly this weekend
Ordered after 3:08 AM: October...late October?
Preparing to ship you do not get notification, but when it's ship you receive a mail "shipment notification" with the tracking information.
Personally I use a app together with a widget name junecloud http://junecloud.com/
I receive a notification when a status change.
My 32gb Gold 5s for AT&T is still processing (3:06am EST order time). Here's hoping I see a status change over the weekend...
I got an alert from my Amex card that a large payment was posted, then I checked Apple.com. Apple will only send a "SHIPPED" notification.
My 64GB Gold AT&T ordered at 3:05 EDT shipped this morning. Tracking info on UPS shows it's in ZhengZhou:

Delivery is not scheduled until Wednesday but at least that is less than a week more with a broken iPhone 5 screen.

My 64GB Gold unlocked phone shipped overnight. It's currently in ZhengZhou and is estimated to reach me by Oct 1 - my shipping estimate was Oct 8 to 11, so I'm psyched to be getting it a week early! Woo hoo!
Question - I got an email last night that said that Apple couldn't obtain payment and that action was required. I called and gave them a different card number, the guy said it went through and all was good. My order was 'processing' before - after I got the 'action required' email, the order status changed to 'awaiting payment'. After I gave the rep the new card number over the phone and it went through, it went back to 'processing' instead of 'preparing for shipment'. Anyone know what the deal with that is?
