My card was charged the moment I completed my order on the 7th.
I ordered at 8am est on friday, mine still says processing for shipment. I am on the east coast. Has anyone in the east coast who ordered around the same time
got their iphones shipped?
I ordered through apple.com. I tried the ups thing and it does not work for me.
FINALLY. Mine has arrived at Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong. Still says "preparing for shipment" on the Apple page, though. I was seriously starting to panic that my order was going to be one of the ones canceled under mysterious circumstances.
Got an update about 45 seconds ago:
Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong 10/11/2011 9:22 P.M. Departure Scan
So I assume that would be UPS flight 5X59 taking off. FlightAware is still showing nothing for that flight.

mine departed anchorage too at 11:11 and still nothing
Mine departed Anchorage at 11:11pm (3:11am EDT), still hasn't landed...
My phone's flight just landed in Louisville!
We're such geeks.
According to Apple, some are shipping from the states, so they won't ship until today or tomorrow. She said that if we have a "preparing for shipment" status we should be fine.
Same here!
Although it is weird. The text messages I am getting from UPS shows the phone in the states while the website shows the phone still in China. Probably a delay in updating.
That was a temporary authorization, not the actual charge.

So did mine, but it landed at 9:26am local according to flight tracker. It just hasn't shown up on ups.com, yet.
Finally got the shipping info. It departed Shenzen this morning. I'm a Verizon customer that ordered through Apple.
Did you get shipping notification through Apple or through the "Track by reference" trick? If you used "track by reference" which phone number did you use (Verizon account or Apple ID)?
Thanks for the update.
It's feasible (if (BIG IF) Apple doesn't hold the shipment) that these could be delivered tomorrow. I won't get my hopes up but logistically for UPS it's possible.
