How long did it take from the time it shipped until it arrived? Was fedex estimated delivery date early or apple estimated delivery date?

Wow, actually I just noticed it started shipping early in the morning on the 24 so it took 2 days to ship.
 
Preparing for shipment

Ordered on 20th (Pacific time:19th). The status changed just an hour ago. 16G white AT&T model.
 
That's cuttin it real close now, but it could ship tomorrow or Friday & get to you by Tuesday I would think.

They're probably being shipped from the UK. I know mine is, and mine's still processing. Just waiting for a carrier to be assigned to my product.
 
Ordered a black 16GB for AT&T on the 17th, now changed to preparing for shipment. About time...
 
Ordered my 4s black 32 Gb to Mexico last friday the 21st. It still says processing order. Hope it changes by Friday!
 
Ordered on the 16th of October from the UK for UK delivery. White 16gb 4s.

Online order status is currently:




I don't hold out much hope in getting it on time.

ordered it on 15th and i m getting the same thing!! i hope i receive mine tomorrow:/
 
Ordered mine on the 17th (white 64GB and black 16GB)... initially said Nov 1 to Nov 7 delivery, then upgraded to Oct 25 to Nov 1... been stuck in 'processing items' limbo since then.
 
More progress! She's now on Canadian soil!!! Really hoping to get it tomorrow or Saturday...

Any chance for a 10/28 delivery to Atlanta? It would be nice, but I am guessing Monday :/

It looks as if there are no HK - Memphis Fed Ex flights after Wednesday if I checked correctly - so does that mean it's going to Anchorage?

I'm in the exact same boat as you - awaiting shipment to Atlanta. Mine says Oct 31 by 10:30 am but I'm pretty sure the "In Transit" tag is closely linked to when it hopped on a soon-to-depart plane, and my guess is that ours is in transit to Anchorage, though I have no idea when it would go from there to Memphis. Patience! :)

I know -- the wait is killing me just a little... :)

It seems like the CHEK LAP KOK HK status is often misleading as it shouldn't take very long from Lantau... so sometimes is magically appears in the US even though it doesn't officially arrive at CHEK LAP KOK...

We'll see!
 
It's not that it's misleading it's that since the time zone it throws some people off.but it will definitely be in US soil by the night! Mine left at 1Opm from that same spot (which is 10pm in hong kong but like really early in the morning here) and was in Memphis that same day at 10pm at night US time.. So by tonight ur package should be in US Soil! Then like at 3am central time it will leave Memphis... To its other destination which mine was la...so it took about a day for it to get to my city.. :)

My package touchdown in Los Angeles like an hour ago.. :D

Clarification on my part, those in the UK may expect to see their iPhones being shipped from the UK.

Hopefully so! Although looking at the FedEx flights, it seems like they stop flying straight to Memphis after Wednesday...

Mine's now on a "Clearance Delay" in Mississauga, Ontario ... something to do with customs and they're waiting on info from Apple?

Anybody (Canadians?) have experience with how long this takes? Been there for just about 3 hours so far.
 
Good news. I received my white AT&T 32GB 4S today. Ordered on the 17th, it was shipped out on the the 25th. Apple says delivers by the 28th but FedEx said on the 31st. But to my surprise, it came today on the 27th! So happy it came before the weekend.
