Mine still says 'Procesing'...

Should I be concerned? It still says "Delivers 9/21", but hasn't moved on to "Preparing for Shipment" yet.

Looks like after a stopover in Anchorage, it will continue to UPS's main hub in Louisville, KY...arriving sometime after midnight (ET) tonight! :)

EDIT: Oops...too slow!

Since Fedex ships faster, I think East coast and Central customers will receive their phones from them. Leaving Mountain time and West coast customers with UPS.

I've had 'preparing for shipment' for 4 different i5's since yesterday.

Can confirm because the UPS method doesn't work for me.

I used the phone number method on UPS.com. We live in Dallas, Texas.

Mine left China last night and is now in Korea (32gb Black AT&T).
My girlfriend's originated in Nashville (16gb Black AT&T).

Same as you. Mine did not change to "Preparing for Shipment" until 4PM EST yesterday. I figure they all change once a day.
Also, my card was charged yesterday.

I think our phones are buddies ;) same tracking info.
 
to those who say that can't see the tracking info on Apple yet.

Nobody can. Everyone is using their phone number or order number (minues the last two digits) to "track by reference" on either UPS or FEDEX
 
If your iPhone is being shipped by UPS Worldwide Express, it should be at your door before 12 noon on Friday.

http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/shipping/time/service/express.html

"Delivery by 10:30 a.m. or 12:00 noon"

Should be - but remember, the more rural you are, or even more residential, the more this rule doesn't apply. UPS can only hit so many houses before noon. You can have UPS hold the shipment at the facility and go pick it up. I did that last year for my 4S - worked out great. I had it in the AM instead of late that night since I lived in the middle of nowhere.
 
Mine shipped Next Day Air Saver from Nashville, and is scheduled for delivery on Friday. I live in Nashville, it's painful waiting four more days when it's right across the street.
