If you track it, can you tell what service? Ground or International Service from China?
Congratulations!
Except that some people are saying that it has moved up their expected delivery dates.

It would take a long time for a UPS truck to cross the Pacific Ocean.
Mine has also changed to 'Preparing for Shipment' in the past hour...and i ordered LATE, at 1:30am PDT/4:30am EST. 16GB Space Gray on ATT...i have expedited shipping, with delivery on 9/27-10/1. Pretty sure it'll get here by Friday at the latest though!!!

Wall man that's really late. I ordered t 3:18 18 minutes after the site went live.
I can't wait for mine!!! I completed my order at 2:01am (CST) and got my Confirmation email at 2:02am (CST).. I was literally shaking during the entire order process to be as quick as possible before the orders became 7-10 day wait ._.
Available to ship in 1-3 business days and will be delivered by September 27-October 1 but as with my other previous purchases with Apple. It normally likes to surprise me 2 or 3 days earlier at my house
Who else can't stop watching YouTube Videos of iPhone 5S camera quality, 120fps video, TouchID, drop tests, etc?

Well since it JUST changed to preparing for shipment. I would say it's safe to assume we have to wait 24 hours for our reference to be searchable in the UPS or FEDEX system

Just in case anyone was wondering about the status of their shipment. If you have a status that says, "Preparing for Shipment," it most likely has shipped via UPS. In order to find out for sure:
-Go to UPS.com
-Track by Reference
-Type in your phone number, Country and zip code
It will pull up your tracking number and package. Here, it will tell you that it will delivered on the 21st by the end of the day. However, you might also notice that shipment progress hasn't been updated and there is a reason for this. UPS has a message specifically for the iPhone 5, which I pasted below.
Important information for iPhone Customers
Apple has required that UPS deliver iPhone shipments to customers on and not before Friday, September 21, 2012. iPhones are scheduled for Friday, September 21 2012 and have a delivery commitment of the end of day.
Why isn't my package moving? The packages are being staged in key locations and moved on a coordinated schedule for delivery on the shipper's planned release date, Friday, September 21, 2012.
Anyways, I just wanted to post this for anyone who was wondering about the status.

reference = order phone number which for me is my home number not my mobile (no dashes, no 1, at least for me).
Yes. It's how other people found it last year. I posted the source of where i got it in the bottom of the post. The information should still apply to this year
Could this mean it is being shipped!
I just got this same page! hopefully it does mean they are shipping !
still in preparing for shipment status. UPS ref # thing doesnt work for me. Hopefully everything is being updated and more importantly hopefully stuff is already in the US.
Unbelievable, that actually worked. Mine shows Preparing for Shipment per Apple, but my using the method above, I see it has been shipped and due for delivery by End of Day Tuesday, coming from China.
