Pre-orders are starting to show 'Preparing for Shipment' in Australia.

Yep, can confirm this.

My Status just changed!!!

"Preparing for Shipment"

It was very exciting — i got a growl notification from the delivery status widget on my dashboard.

I am in Australia, and it is a 16GB 4S.

Excited!! 😀
 
Skeptical much?

Don't see how he's being skeptical, more so he's excited and wants to see it for himself.

Mine is still on Processing and yes it's an Australian order.

Cannot wait for it to be changed to prepared for shipment. Will refresh every 10 minutes or so 😀

I'm not expecting it before Monday or Tuesday but I will be extremely happy if I get it Friday 😀
 
would be nice to know the exact order time at 7th for those "preparing for shipment" orders!? It should be "first come, first served", maybe for every country!?

I was sitting by my computer hitting refresh and following twitter feeds. haha. I would say I had my order through within about 4 minutes of the store going live. And now it is preparing for shipment. 🙂
 
I've got an Australian order here that has changed to "Prepared For Shipment"

Edit: I ordered as soon as the preorders went live
 
An update. The white 16GB is prepared for shipment! The 32GB black still processing. Funny. I bought the black one first.

Friday still has hope! 😀

Melbourne here, ordered the second the store came online.

It'll be interesting to see where they ship from.

Are your phones in Australia unlocked?

Surely are!

We pay the price for it though. You can buy them outright from apple, or carrier locked with a plan and monthly repayments.
 
Thats good to know because one of the excuses that the CSR's gave was that because the Canadian phones were unlocked wouldn't ship them before the 14 th, so that now seems like bull.

You can't trust anyone, only the people that are physically shipping them and certain people from Apple know whats happening.
