Usually when a CC is charged, it will ship within 18-24 hours. Thats how it has been for past iPhones for me. Also, Apple Watch last year.
 
I got two separate charges. The tax charge was by apple, and no movement occurred. Then citizens charges my first month. Then it showed up in my apple support profile. Then I checked my UPS account, and it showed it was shipped, last checked. The apple app still showed preparing for shipment..
