iPhone5 32GB Black just went to Preparing for Shipment.

There was concern about stuck processing with holiday shipment meaning your order would get bumped back....i was in that boat until now.

Still a 9/21 delivery :D
 
my 16 GB black ATT just went to "Preparing to ship" now with Holiday shipment.

But i never got Applecare email or ATT CSS email.
I hope ATT doesn't create any issue now..
 
I ordered at 3:55 am eastern time. All throughout checkout it said delivers 9/21 then my confirmation email came at 3:58 am with a shipping date of 2 weeks. Currently processing. Have already been charged for the AppleCare+. Anyone else had the same thing happen? I keep praying for the email that says they initially gave the wrong shipping date!!!!

You're good. Preparing for ship should mean the processing is over. Your order is done, and tied to a phone. Just a matter of putting it on a plane.
 
Two 16 GB black ATT

3:18 AM eastern order still processing state
3:25 AM order with Applecare is now preparing for shipment


This is more fun than a barrel of monkeys :)
 
I talked to two reps on live chat just now, both were rude and just said "no we cannot"... im trying one last time

Wallah!!! IT WORKED!!! Got my upgrade fee waived as well! the third rep i talked too immediately said "no problem, i will credit your bill" its amazing the inconsistency you get some times with this company. Just depends on the person you talk too i guess.
 
After watching the status like a hawk I went out and did some shopping. Came back and it has changed from "processing" to "preparing for shipment."

Woo-hoo! :D
 
Order just went to prep for shipping. 16gb black, ordered off apple app 12:07am. Located in LA, CA. Unlimited data plan.
 
Ordered two AT&T White 16s from 12:10am PST until 12:30am PST.
Went to sleep.
Citi contacted via email at 3:30 AM for fraud control.
Fixed the situation with Citi at 7:50 AM.
Resubmitted the payment at 8:00 AM.

Still "In Processing" now and says it delivers 9/21

I wonder if the delay in payment changed anything?
 
Black 32GB - Ordered at 2:35am(Central)

Processing Items
Delivers 9/21 via standard shipping

I feel like it is taking them forever. I haven't even seen a pending charge of my CC yet. I did make a change of the ship to address, so maybes putting it behind a little.
 
Just went "Preparing for shipment"...woot!

Black 16gb ATT, ordered via apple.com, 3:31 EST, Shipping to FL
