Are you guys just checking in on the site or do you get a confirmation via email or text message to when the status changed to "preparing for shipment"?

EDIT:

Just checked on my order and it's at "Preparing For Shipment" yet I didn't get a notification so I guess I answered my own question.

Just checked the status of my order.

Preparing For Shipment
iPhone 5S 32GB Silver Sprint
Ordered on 9/20/13 @ 3:07AM EST

Finally. Now the anxiety can continue until I get a tracking number. Then it can continue until I get shipping updates. Then it'll all end once I get the phone in my hand. Same anxiety year after year. lol

 

[NYY FaN]

Same here, 32 gb space gray. Ordered at 3:01 am eastern time.

64 GB Gold AT&T ordered in 1st minute. Has been "Preparing for
Shipment" for hours now. I also have expedited shipping.

 

[Maclver]

Wonder which thread will win it out! Hopefully the Macrumors gods merge theirs with ours and we win!

 

[meeks]

Is everyone getting updated to expedited shipping? I've been reading yes and no. since I paid the extra $10 should I call apple and ask for a refund on the shipping if everyone is getting it for free? I would obviously wait until the phone is on it's way.

The phones may already be here and dispatched from different centers according to where you live.
