Just to confirm, some colors or sizes are shipping before others, right?

I ordered 32gb silver at launch and is still processing.

How are you guys that ordered after already getting your phones shipped??

More than anything else it depends exactly when you placed the order. It seems that a minute or two in the initial 15 minutes determines when yours ships from China.

My guess is that if you received order confirmation before 12:06 then you were in the first shipment(s) for Tuesday 9/24 delivery. My two were in the 8th and 10th minutes after the hour and they are enroute for Wednesday 9/25 delivery and they are different sizes and colors.
 
Order placed via Apple Store App at 3:12am. Promised between 9/30 and 10/2.

Just got my shipping confirmation. 64Gb AT&T 5s Silver scheduled to arrive 9/25 via Fed Ex. I did not pay for expedited shipping.

Thanks Apple!

32 Gold and got my email confirmation at 3:05 am and still hasn't shipped. I think there is a holdup with 32GB gold Verizon phones according to some of the posts I've seen.
 
I ordered 2 iPhone 5S's, one gold 16gb and one space grey 16gb both tmobile, I finished check out at 3:02 am and got my confirmation at 3:03, they both changed to preparing for shipment saturday night. But I'm still waiting for a shipment email :(.

Not complaining, but my confirmation is time stamped 12:03 and I am getting a 9/25 delivery as opposed to a 9/24 delivery.

On the other hand, my email from Apple telling me that it was shipped said it would arrive 9/26. So I am one day ahead of the game ... the UPS tracking site is telling me it will arrive on 9/25.

Either way - it's better than the 9/30 - 10/2 timeframe. :)

I ordered the 32GB Silver AT&T at 3:05am EDT and it has shipped, arriving tomorrow, with standard shipping.
 
Placed my order at 12:06am (32GB black ATT), was supposed to ship between the 30th and the 2nd, just got a shipping confirmation last night saying it should be here on the 26th. UPS tracking says it should be here tomorrow though. :D
 
Placed my order for a 64GB white/silver 5S literally about 2-3 minutes after orders went live. I set my alarm for 1:59am, and ordered immediately.

Got notification that my phone will arrive Weds! :)
 
Received a shipment notification email from Apple at 10:31 PM Pacific indicating standard shipping delivery 9/27 to San Francisco.
UPS now shows 9/26 by end of day to San Francisco via Worldwide Express Saver.

I just ordered my 5s yesterday (Gold 64 GB) around 11 AM EDT, and have the shipping date of October. I would love some feedback from those who ordered their phones later in the day on Friday, or more recently. Most people posting here seem to be those who ordered within the first few hours of launch. At least maybe we can get a feel for where Apple is in terms of fulfillment of 5s orders, at the moment.

Thanks in advance, for responding!

I ordered it about 30 minutes into the sale online and I am still "processing" and shipping is just general october. If it's gold, be prepared to wait quite a while.
 
So jealous of all you with delivery dates.

I ordered around 3:10 eastern, 32gb AT&T silver, and I'm still in preparing-land.

I should stop reading these threads! :)

My order confirmation came in at 3:02 and my delivery date is 9/25. I ordered a 32gb Gold AT&T. I think the color makes the difference between delivery on the 24th vs the 25th.
 
Placed my order 12:01AM in the UK. I'm not getting it until the 7th of October. Consider yourselves lucky.

My 64GB silver is tracking the same, but UPS says mine is coming tomorrow. I'm in IL though, so I'm a lot closer to Louisville than you are.
