Call your carrier to see if they have a tracking # yet. A lot of people have had the same issue only to find out the phone was shipped. Sometimes the status update hasn't been updating effectively.

I did the Track by Reference and it only showed the first part of the order that shipped a couple of weeks earlier. I suppose it will eventually get here. I'm heading out of town next weekend - it would be nice if it arrived before I left.

Finally shipped on the 10/4 but the last UPS update still shows it in ZhengZhou China since Oct 4th even though it is scheduled to be delivered by end of day tomorrow.

Just ridiculous!

Tried the apple reservation every night for 8 days and nothing in the southeast Michigan area. Finally gave in and ordered from Verizon since their ship date seems to be a bit earlier that the Apple website. Hopefully it ships earlier!

Finally Shipped!!!!

Didn't want to make an account and post til it had shipped. It's been a rough couple weeks, wasn't able to order til the 18th with a delivery of oct 11th - 17th due to some billing fiascos with verizon. But status has now changed to Preparing for Shipment. Good luck to all those still waiting for status updates, there is a light at the end of the tunnel afterall.

He said it hasn't yet cleared customs as per her records, and that it could come earlier. Anyone else in the stuck in China since the 4th boat?

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason. I got my shipment email about 4 days after it moved to preparing for shipment. Others got them same day it moved to preparing. Weird...:confused:
 
I ordered 10/6 from apple with a delivery date of nov 7-14. I take it the 7-14 would be when it is supposed to arrive? Not when it was being shipped? I could really use it on the 14th so I'm kind of worried. Should I be alarmed? It seems like a number of people are receiving their phones shipped earlier than they've been quoted. Thanks for your time.

Just updated - import scan in Louisville! No updates in between arrival scan zhengzhou and Louisville but..hoping I get it tomorrow
 
So. Is there any reason why I haven't been charged by AT&T yet for 1 of my iPhone 5s? I ordered 2, one has been charged to my bank account yet the other one has not been charged yet. It's been a full week since I've had both of them? Am I somehow gonna get away with only paying for one? Lol
