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 :)


When did you get your confirmation email when you ordered?
 
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.

I just got an alert on my phone from the Apple Store app that said mine will be delivered on the 26th. Clicked the link to track shipping and UPS says it'll be delivered by EOB Tuesday. I'm in Atlanta if it makes a difference.
 
Yes 16GB Grey ATT ordered 3:05 with app has been shipped from china, according to UPS its due to arrive here (Boston) by end of day 24th.

For those new to this, the phones will likely fly to Anchorage, clear customs, fly to the UPS hub, I think Kentucky, get on a local flight to a local airport hub, trucked to the local distribution center, and then on the delivery truck for delivery. It will likely show up the same time of day as a UPS package typically does, which is late afternoon for me.
 
Ordered 16gb space gray at 1202am/pst. Just received apple's shipped email. UPS states order will deliver on thursday 9-26. I wonder if it doesn't matter if you paid the extra shipping cost and it just gets delivered by location. I didn't purchase the expedited shipping.

**Disregard I just checked the UPS site again and it changed to delivery on tuesday the 24th. Yes!** From: Michigan

I ordered via the Apple Store app a 16GB gold iPhone 5S right at midnight and got a shipping update around 8am Central Time that it's scheduled for delivery on Tuesday the 24th. :)

Same here. 32/space gray/AT&T from apple. Apple says delivery on the 26th, but UPS says the 24th. Yay! Now if only I could go pick it up in Louisville as soon as it gets to the World Hub.
 
32g space gray on AT&T
Ordered at 3:04a ET on 9/20
Shipped 9/22
Arrives 9/24 to Delaware via UPS

16g silver on AT&T
Ordered at 3:06a ET on 9/20
Preparing for shipment as of time of this post

Both ordered with standard shipping.

This works because my phone is the one shipped...my wife's is the yet to be shipped (but she still has her phone).
I sold my 32gb iPhone 4 on eBay on Monday (didn't expect it to sell so quick for $250) so I have been swapping SIMs on my work provided 4s

I ordered a 16 gb gold from the att launch day at the store the guy said it would only take 3-4 days but my order says preparing to ship and I still havnt gotten a shipping confirmation email
 
I'm trying the UPS Reference trick but I'm getting nowhere. Can someone post exact instructions?

I ordered from Apple a Silver 32GB for Sprint right at around 307am EST.

Damn this anxiety!

32 GB iPhone 5s ordered @ 12:05 am PST on Friday.
Shipping confirmation received @ 6:01 am Sunday.
Scheduled delivery - EOD Wednesday.
 
On those with standard delivery, does it say on the right side of the web page: shipped by "UPS Worldwide Express Saver" or something else? I got that with expediated shipping. It looks like most of people's orders are coming on the 24th with some on the 25th being in California. If there is no difference in shipping, I won't bother to look at the expediated option again on one of these launches.
