Shipped!

I got my shipping confirmation around 12:30 AM but never got around to posting it on here. I ordered at 1:30 PM on the 20th. It should be here on Monday!

Finally, phone #2 moved to: Preparing for shipment. Phone 1 Shipped today with a delivery of 10/11
 
It looks the second phone is taking the scenic route from China... It won't be delivered until the 7th (and that is with expedited shipping) I hope it enjoyed its vacation.
 
First charge is just an authorization. Depends on your bank how long it stays there, in my case 10 days. They don't actually charge you until the phone ships. Every few days apple authorizes $10 on my card, then it goes away, I think they are just making sure my card is active. Some people had their card authorized for the full amount, but that only happened with my AT&T phone order.

That's the weird thing though. The full $350+ was debited from my account and now it's all back in there.

I think I'll wait a few days and see what happens.
 
i was on standard shipping..later got it updated to 2 business days..
what is expedited and express? at present is my shipping express or expidited..how many days will each one of them take..

Express usually means you'll have it in 3 business days. Expedited means about 5.

You can tell what yours is by the tracking information. Like mine is 5 days and says US worldwide Expedited.
 
i too ordered my phone @ 10am and it also changed to preparing to ship..
just imagine about the people who ordered their phones after 12pm.. they have a long way to wait..

Does any body have idea what is the minimum time for preparing to ship to get shipped??



I ordered my 5s silver 16gb at 4 ct and 12 pm today it says its preparing for shipment

anyone know??

Anyone knows the UPS flight number from Zhengzhou to Incheon Korea??
Mine seems stuck in Zhengzhou since around 11pm last night.
but estimate arrival time is Oct-10
So i guess everyone arrive at the same speed at louisville, but from there, some will use UPS ground(Apple standard shipping) and some will use UPS express air (those got upgraded)...haha

I order an iphone 5s GOLD 32 gig on 9/20 @ 9:30AM and my order stills says "Dispatch: October" wtf....

i wonder if the delays are only with the gold colors.
 
Does anyone know when they actually bill us?

I already received a tracking # but the CC hasn't been billed at all. Just curious.
 
For those that want to try to figure out a pattern (of which there isn't really one):

I ordered 9/20 at 10pm EST and changed to prepared for shipping today

32GB Space Gray
A&T
 
Wow

Same ugh.

Sorry to hear they only took some on that Alaskan flight. I'm express shipping and east coast. Maybe that is why? Still have a delivery date for tomorrow. I'm pretty sure the shipping estimates are accurate once they start on their travels. If it says Monday or Tuesday, that will be the day you get it 90% of the time.

So when you ordered, did it said "ships on October"? if so, that was really quick processing/shipping time
 
Yep, I am in Texas. This just goes to show that Standard Shipping is slower than Express Shipping, even though UPS says that this is UPS Worldwide Expedited.

Now I am wishing I paid for shipping.

I'm guessing our phones are on this plane (based on departure scan and liftoff times) and on their way home!
