Ordered on the 28th of November (Cyber Monday) and it's still "Processing" - Quoted delivery is 9th-16th of December :(
 
The status just changed to Preparing for Shipment, definitely Process Order take 10 days before to change to the next step, now the question is how long take for move to shipping?
For others people waiting seems like now they are starting to work on the orders made by nov 23
I ordered on the 21st.



Obviously its still processing, its only been 4-5 days.
You will get it by the quoted delivery date.
Patience people....

In case you didn't notice, this is an order status thread. Ya know, like, processing, delay, arrive...that sort of thing.
 
All is well it seems!

There seemed to be no update for the longest time but my 16GB black sure has being going places since the last 2 days, although fedex sure took some time to update the details. Ordered mine on the 21st of November and delivery was supposed to be berween 5th to 12th! Should get it soon in Boston!

Apple is keeping its schedule!
 
Ordered mine on the 24th - STILL PROCESSING. Unfortunately, I have to use a third party shipper since Apple does not ship to the Military overseas (APO). So my wait will be at least an extra week longer.

Lucky you! I ordered a black 32GB on the 21st also but it is still stuck in 'Preparing for Shipment' status up to now. I don't know when it will moved to 'Shipped.'

Like you, my friend is also leaving the US on the 9th so I hope it reaches in time. What time did you order yours btw?

Stuck in Boston since the last 3 days! Ordered it in the night of the 21st... 22nd morning in India.

Not sure why. Maybe they don't want to deal with the Customs Forms or with the whole "No Tax" issue. It's really a pain in the ass, and I'm not willing to drop around $1100 for a 32GB iphone 4S in the UK. That 20% VAT is insane.

Mine just changed to "Preparing for Shipment"!!!!!!!!

Black 16gb ordered on the 26th

Crap... I ordered a Black 32GB on the 24th and it's Still Processing.

Went to he Apple store at Irvine Spectrum, CA. Picked up a black 32 gig unlocked this morning they had 5 of them.
 
Has anyone else had any issues with their unlocked phone? Mine had the audio issue, and it's going back. Unfortunately, Apple made me order a new one, so I have to wait another 1-2 weeks for my replacement to ship.
 
so excited! just one day and it already changed to "shipped". Estimated delivery is set for Dec. 8th 10.30 am, can't wait!!!!!

Black 16gb, ordered Nov. 26th, "Processing" until yesterday.
 
Well my replacement just changed to preparing for shipment. Hope get it soon as replacement was placed by Apple on 28th.

I ordered two around noon (pacific) on the 28th, but it still shows as "Processing" and there are no pending authorizations on my card.
