Going to be slightly annoyed if expedited shipping works this time around and 3 Apple reps told me they would not upgrade shipping b/c it didn't matter. But so long as it arrives this week, I'm cool with it.
 
2-3 days shipping. No shipping email from apple.
Check with reference, shipped from zhengzhou, delivery in 24th.
 
Signature Required?

Just got an update from UPS. I will receive it on Sept. 24.

The Reference number is your billing phone number without dashes.

I can't see any signature for delivery requirement, which Apple typically used with FedEx for iPhones coming from China. At least with FedEx you had the option for pre-signing with the note off the Apple store order information.
 
For those who ordered two or more phones before, did they come in 1 package? Only 1 tracking number? Thanks!
 
Phone number... And you can disregard that post... It was for another shipment by apple. It's early here and I forgot all about that shipment.

Edited to add... It is however showing as shipped from China with a Tuesday delivery date on UPS. Hopefully this storm I keep hearing about doesn't become an issue.

Zhengzhou is no way near the storm, they are far apart.
 
Got an email at 1:01am est that said it shipped via ups. Delivery on 26th for my silver 16gn vz 5s!!!!

And ups tracker estimates 2 business days
 
Looks like people who got the 2-3 day shipping are first out. I'll be lobbing a call into customer service later.

Standard or Expedited shipping?
 
Separate Shipments

Mine have always come in separate shipments.

I tried to put two on the order this time and it would not allow me to check-out with a warning indicating only one carrier activated device is allowed per order-- our were upgrades. If you paid full price then maybe you can get more than one on a single order.

I did the same and it also wouldn't let me put more than 1 phone on the same order so I have to place 2 separate orders. Now, I'm just using the billing phone number (same on both orders) to track by reference and it's only showing me 1 tracking number. Does that mean that the other order has not shipped yet?

Thank you for responding.
 
My processing page always said by standard shipping and I didn't call or anything for expedited. Used my Amex. Order completed at 3:03 est.
 
My order status page just updated and it looks like only the space grey 16GB AT&T phone shipped as of this time. I also ordered a 32 GB gold AT&T a minute earlier at 3:01 AM Eastern and it's still preparing for shipment. Tried the track by reference via UPS and only the tracking number for the space grey shows up.

Any gold iPhone orders already shipped? Thanks!
 
Ordered AT&T silver iPhone 5s 64GB from the local AT&T store on the 20th at 8:30 AM in Winter Haven, FL. The phone shipped from Ft Worth, TX on the 21st. FedEx tracking shows it in Memphis with scheduled delivery on the 23rd.
 
Ordered 12:06am California time online at Apple Store
32GB space grey T-Mobile
Standard shipping, said shipping on 1-3 days
Just checked order status and it says shipped by UPS
Getting it by the end of Wednesday the 25th
 
I completely missed the expedited shopping option. I guess that is what happens when you order at 3:04 in the morning. I just received my shipping notification and it says delivery on the 26th.

When did you get your confirmation email?

Thanks!
 
My 64GB Gold 5s for AT&T just shipped. Will arrive by end of day on 9/24! The phone was ordered from the Apple Store app.

And I didn't even have to pay for expedited shipping :)
