As i remember from previous pre order they usually sends the phones at a local warehouse located in Europe and the tracking number remains stuck on "preparing for shipment" as long as the phone are in the hands of the local delivery company usually 1 or 2 days before scheduled delivery.
I hope that with this COVID 19 situation the delivery company are able to process this large number of deliveries scheduled for the same day.

The phones are probably in Europe right now but they wait to give them to couriers because they don't want that some phones is delivered before the 23th

Still preparing for shipment too, Belgium. In the year of the iPhone 7, my phone got shipped from China. So very curious if it all comes from Waalwijk (NL) this year. But maybe they are already in a UPS shipment, but for most of the times in Europe, they use other reference numbers so maybe that could explain why we can't find them?

I have no idea , my last phone ,the XS was about 2 years ago and I cannot remember how it went or if it's something else that was shipped from NL !
 
My credit card has just been charged so I guess there will be a shipping notification soon .

Europe Thread yay! Greetz from Germany. No progress from my side yet. Going for 12 pro 256 graphite. Updating from a 7 Plus. It was about time 😅

I'm expecting the exact same phone !
Has you credit card been charged ?
 
Sweden here
Mine says 23d..shipping in progress
12 pro blue 256gb

Magsafe and case will arrive tomorrow according to apple.com
 
My idea is that, is that when you are preparing for shipment, your phone is actually traveling to Europe. And we will received a shipping notification, once it’s being dispatched from the NL. Once dispatched from the Netherlands, it coupled either be UPS or DHL.

I’m from Belgium and waiting for my IPhone 12 pro Blue 128 go. My parents did order an iPhone 12 each. The 3 orders are ”preparing for shipment” since friday evening.

I didn't order a magsafe , it won't work with the Loopy case I ordered ( arriving early Nov.) I'm actually hoping for a folio like the one I have for my XS .
For now I got a $6 clear case with screen protectors from Amazon so the new phone will have something to wear on arrival ;-)
I might get later on an  leather case if there are no folios this year and the foldable magsafe for phone and watch .
 
My iPhone 12 128 preparing for shipment. Will arrive on 23. in Germany. Missed the magsafe charger and case. Will get them at the end of month.

Yeaaaah we got our own thread !

Switzerland here, no changes this morning, preparing for shipment. Delivery date still set to 23-Oct which is good
Accessories I bought are being all delivered tomorrow, except for the MagSafe which will be delivered a few days after the iPhone.

@Mods: would you please add this thread to the sticky list - thanks!
