Waiting for my phones to go from preparing for shipment to shipped ... Nov 3rd couldn’t be here sooner.
Don’t expect any official tracking notifications from Apple until Thursday. Even though it has shipped, they typically don’t mark it as shipped until the day before delivery.

My UPS app shows the same as others are reporting, shipped from Foxconn.
 
YESSSS!

Couldn’t pull it up yesterday at all via order numbers, phone numbers etc on UPS , finally got up this morning and tried my order number minus 2 digits and we have contact with UPS + ZhengZhou! Touch down Nov 3
 
Just got my tracking number as well! Left ZhengZhou, China @ 1:20 A.M. local time! Anyone know the trick for tracking flights?

Oh and also my credit card was charged for both phones on Saturday. They don’t charge until the phone ships right? Or is this no longer the case?

You’re right. They charge when they start the shipping process.

Most people have multiple tracking lines for ZhengZhou (that's where Foxconn is). Last one will be at the ZhengZhou airport, but there's only shorter hops from there - until you get another location, you really can't determine which flight it's on. There's a few different airports that could be the next hop (hopefully the last one before Anchorage).

Edit: When you guys get an update (somewhere other than Zhengzhou) :) then you want to check here:

Chances are that next update should line up with one of the flights that will be going to Anchorage. Then you'll have the next leg going to Louisville. (those are also on that page) :)

I found my tracking number by using my original Apple order number, less the last two digits, as "Reference Number" on UPS Tracking -- I also had to enter Country and ZIP options to the search before I found it.
