Preparing for shipment here as well!!!

Still can't track by reference yet...As soon as we can find the shipment on UPS we will get a better idea of when we will see these phones on our doorstep...
 
Are we assuming 3-5 days of preparing to ship like the first wave or quicker since they were waiting on launch?
 
i just got charged as well, and mine changed to prep for shipment

woohoo

mines tmobile 64gb space grey 6+
 
I too was charged...and the balance of my Apple gift card which I used for the purchase has also been wiped out, so I think this is for real!
 
...and literally in the last five minutes my 2 T-Mobile 6+ phones have changed to Preparing for Shipment! Oddly the cases are still Processing...
 
I have a feeling we're all going to see that today so that we can't stand in line tomorrow.

Hopefully no one is already standing in line.

And just like clockwork 5mins later, I'm now "Preparing for Shipment"

I'd imagine we're all going to see these phones by next week sometime.

Not sure, but if we are preparing to ship that means we have physical devices tied to our order somewhere. Probably in China. I'd imagine we'll be sitting in this state for a couple more days.
 
For those preparing for shipment, if you guys don't mind including when you ordered and what model you ordered? Thanks. ;)

I ordered 64gb 6+ space grey at 2:57 CST on the Apple Store app.

My card has been charged and I literally shouted "YES!" at my desk (I'm at work) when I saw it. Still nothing on UPS or m Support Profile but our "conveyor belt" is now moving!
 
Does "preparing for shipping" means anything? are we going to get the phones BEFORE 1-6 Oct? (that would be great considering the fact that I'm flying out of the US on the 1st...)

Same here. I'm optimistic we will get them before 10/1.
 
Just got charged also. Ordered 2 x 6+'s around 5:30a ET. Now waiting to see the update on the Apple Store site!

UPDATE: Now preparing for shipment. That was fast :cool:

I would think so; I highly doubt that they've found phones for us but we'll still be waiting nearly two weeks to get them.
 
My AMEX was attempted to be charged, but their anti-fraud measures denied the order............ Got a call from AMEX to authorize these types of orders, so I had to resubmit the payment method for my Apple order.

This must be a sign for me to just wait in line...
