Online App store orders for 5S- Do you think any stock is in the US?

[stretch80]

Curious to know if there may be any stock of 5S' in the US already for shipping or if all orders will originate from China? I ordered a 16GB space gray at 12:02 pst with a shipping date of 1-3 days.

There are often phones sitting in warehouses waiting for release. So yes, there are some in the US today.

That's the confirmation I received too. Not sure how to thumbnail my order like you were able to do though.

I hope they ship from overseas this year because international shipments from apple have a 10:30 AM or Noon priority, based on past experiences. Usually if 2-3 day shipping is selected Apple selects before noon shipping by default. If 2-3 day shipping is as fast as you can go; I would say it could be coming from overseas due to FedEx and UPS' fastest overseas import option is 2-3 days. Every time I've used Apple's 2 day shipping it comes next day by 10:30 or Noon, usually by FedEX IP or UPS WorldWide Express. Experiences may vary.
