No updates here either. I'm still stuck at "Preparing for Shipment."
I wonder what's going on... It seems like there isn't much movement going on today in China?
Yup, UPS tracking hasn't been updated since early saturday for me. I ain't worried though.
 
Mine too... it's frustrating :( i don't understand why UPS took so long. :( Ext. Delivery 08-10..

I guess my thing is, how is it that some people on this thread who ordered their phone through their carrier and got the same shipping and delivery timeframe as us, receive theirs already?
 
Just got "Preparing for Shipment" for my 1st order (3:06 AM EST)... 2nd order @ 3:11 AM still says "Processing Items"...

Datapoint: Both are 32 GB Gold AT&T ordered on launch day (9/27)...

Just received Apple's Shipment Notification email.... The 2nd order (3:11 AM) is still processing...

I noticed that too. Just checked a few minutes ago and it's finally in Korea. Woohoo! Still showing that it'll get her on Wednesday.
 
Mines in Incheon, Korea says its going to be delivered by EOD Wednesday. This is for a Canadian delivery.

How are some of you tracking flights lol?
 
Finally! After almost 2 days of "preparing for shipping," I woke up to a Shipped status with tracking info.
US, APPLE.COM, GOLD 32g, ATT, 12:06am PT confirmation on 20th
 
My iPhone 5s gold 16G T0mobile change to "Preparing for Shipment" this morning, order placed 12:06am EST 9/20/13, got 7-10 business day processing. Anyone know how long it will take to move to "shipped"?

Moved from "Preparing for Shipment" to "Shipped" within 24 hours. Received an email notification from Apple too. Per UPS:
ZhengZhou, China 09/30/2013 4:10 P.M. Origin Scan
China 09/30/2013 6:27 A.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS

Wish I can receive the baby by Wed.

They all follow the same shipping route, their is a UPS evening flight from ZhenZhou to Inchenon every week day, and then they will flight to Anchorage during the night.
 
Mine is still stuck in ZhengZhou... not sure if there are any flights out of ZhenZhou later in the evening?? Looks like I may not receive until Thu, but wishing for the best!!

ADDITIONAL INFO: I kept the standard shipping, meaning never called to request expedited, however the initial info from UPS DOES SHOW Worldwide Expedited. So, it appears (as others have said in past) that they are shipping them all expedited whether your apple shipping info shows it or not. If this is true, then although my apple status has delivery on Oct 8th, my assumption is once i get a delivery date from UPS it will show earlier.
 
I received the shipped notification as well this morning. Figured I received it today I would maybe get the phone a few days earlier than I thought, but still says a delivery of October 8th. Didn't think it would take a week to get here, even though it's being shipped from China.
 
I'm in the 7-10 day. Order was completed 13 minutes past midnight and as of today, more than 10 days later, still in processing. (1x 32GB Gold)
