They'll not come direct to the UK, they'll go via somewhere like Kazakhstan or Dubai then Germany before they get to the UK.
It's in china it's moving. If you order from Apple they ship direct from the manufacturer.
I got my confirmation at 12:11AM and was given a range of 27-3.
(I put my phone in the cart right away, but took me a while to get checked out since apparently I didn't have my credit card info stored in my apple id....)
Just went preparing for shipping yesterday around 4-5pm ish. the tax is already charged on my card, but no tracking info available on UPS as of yet.
I have a feeling that if I see any movement on UPS, I will get my phone around wednesday, otherwise probaly next friday.

Just to chime in because I've been creeping on here until the moment mine shipped, it FINALLY shipped!! My order confirmation was xx:08 with a jet black plus AT&T. I received "PFS" On 9/16 at Midnight (sadly I wasn't one getting them in the afternoon on 9/15). It will be here Tuesday 9/20 after shipping from China. good luck with all of your orders and thanks for keeping me optimistic that it would be here before the 9/26-10/3!

I requested it to ship to the UPS store right down the street from my house in Florida. It's just been sitting in Hong Kong for almost 24 hours since I requested the address change... getting a little worried now...
Any UK based orders with an early October delivery date seeing movement?
Confirmation email at 8.11am and I'm in the 04-10 October group... no movement or charge and the £1 holding charge has been dropped.
Hoping to see some movement next week because I am struggling to think how I can make it through another two and a bit weeks! I know, first world problems; there are more important things in life than an iPhone, however, this is torture for a day one owner for the last 9 years!

There are planes on the ground in Hong Kong and some still headed that way. Once loaded we will see a departure scan probably this morning. Mine is there also. When I was watching my SSSB watch last year, saw it leave China and watched the plane (on Flightaware) make a u-turn and return - mechanical difficulties. Delayed it a day.
Just chiming in with an update (or lack of...)

This is all BS. How can something be PFS for going on 43 hours. Either it's prepping or not.
I've been PFS since Thursday afternoon. I haven't been charged, haven't gotten the reference number to work, and nothing in my support profile. Would really like some movement today as people who were in the window after me are getting movement.
256 JB 7+ T-Mobile
Confirmation email at 3:06am EST
Shipping to Washington, DC
Original window 9/26 - 10/3

Why does no one get this?
It's the last system status before "shipped". It might stay that way for weeks.
So when the switch flipped to "shipped" for people yesterday morning, were the phones already in Hong Kong? Or were they still somewhere else in China?
If it's the first scenario, maybe our phones have already left the factory. Now they're just waiting for the plane.
UGH! Frustrating.
EDIT: Seems like the first stop for most people yesterday was Shenzhen, China. Then it probably moved on to HK. There's a flight leaving Shenzhen directly to Anchorage, in 6.5 hours (https://flightaware.com/live/iphone).
Maybe we'll be put on that one.

10/4 peeps it's finally happening!!!
Card was charged overnight, and I'm now Preparing for Shipment! Delivery date still showing 10/4-10/10 at this point though. But I was actually charged, not just an authorization.
Pre-order e-mail received at XX:12 for JB ip7+ 128GB AT&T via AT&T Next 12.
For all of you earlier guys, how long did it take to go from being charged and PFS to your phone showing in Support Profile and finding tracking info?
