Mine isn't even showing tracking information when looked up with reference number... Just getting a "NOT FOUND" response... So I have no idea where mine is.
 
Go to ups.com http://www.ups.com/WebTracking/track?loc=en_US&WT.svl=PNRO_L1 then go to track by reference on the left and then use your billing phone number you used (no spaces) to order should show package.

Thanks,
jroth

I kept on thinking it was the actual cell number associated with the phone. Just tried it with billing phone and sure enough there it is! Thanks!

I keep trying with bill to number, cell number, other numbers, order number. No luck at UPS or FEDEX, ordered around 7am on Friday. Still trying.
 
BTW I was able to track mine via my phone number but it says ...

Weight:0.70 lb ?

Isn't it too light ?
 
They should at least inform us that our purchase is in transit which for many of us it is
There's absolutely no reason for them to do that. They have promised delivery by 9/21 and so far it appears that will happen. You'll be issued a tracking number when it's on its way to you. Given the situation, that's like saying that you deserve to know the distribution route of everything you order. Apple is technically still preparing to ship to you.

Well, I'd like to be able to print out my pre-sign for shipment notice. Since a tracking# exists, there should be no reason why I can't do that yet, but they don't make the link available on the order status page until it's shipped.

I know that I don't NEED to print it out today, I was just trying to be prepared.
 
I still don't show any tracking information. No matter what reference number I use I am getting a "NOT FOUND" message... No record of the shipment. They may be using a different reference number but why would they if they are using phone numbers for everyone else?

Ordered at 12:20am from Apple.com 16gb black and am showing "Preparing for Shipment"...

I know its ridiculous and I will be fine but I am getting concerned...
 
Maybe we will get it once UPS decides to move our phones from the bunker in louisville aka iPhone 5 capital of the world

you just described 3/4 of this forum.

Mine has been in KY for 1 1/2 days already. They could of had it delivered to me by now. Not sure what the delay is.

There is no delay. Why can't people get this through their heads? There is no problem/issue/worrisome situation/drama/doomsday delivery disaster. Apple said the phone goes public 9/21. Your phone will be in your hot little hands on 9/21. Where's the delay? Just because you want the phone earlier than its promised date doesn't mean there is a delay.

I don't know why people are so insanely impatient for this release. Come Sunday, it will be back to your regularly scheduled existence anyway. The phone will hold allure for a handful of hours and then it will be just like the 4S but faster and longer.

Lately this forum sounds like a puppy farm at feeding time.

I'm in the same boat. Preordered from Apple for a 16gb black and all I got is the Processing email from Apple. It does say delivery on 9/21 so I'll probably call them this afternoon for some updated info. Looking up my number on both the UPS and FedEx website gave me nothing either.
 
Hahaha you crack me up man your worst then everyone here replying to all the comments, it obviously drives you crazy why not log back on till Sunday when the ip5 will be just like the 4s. Just saying

I am worst.
 
Well I finally got an email from apple with a tracking number which is the same info I already knew except it says import scan?

I have been tracking mine by UPS for a few days but just got an official shipment notice this morning.
