Preorder still shows "Preparing For Shipment" ? Shouldn't It Have Shipped By Now?

[falconman515]

Pre-ordered this iPhone 4S Black 64gb at 1:30AM launch morning last Friday and paid and completed after reserve at around 4:30.

It shows under my order status on the Apple website: "Preparing For Shipment" but still states it Delivers on Oct. 14 via Standard Shipping.

I have seen articles on tech sites showing many phones being shipped out already.

I know this comes from overseas when shipped and being that it's due to arrive on Friday and it's Wednesday is a bit of cause for a alarm for me as I currently am selling my iPhone 4 on eBay and have stated it will ship out Friday (once the new 4S Arrives).

Should I be worried or is this whats still under most peoples tracking information for their pre-order?

Thanks so much for the info.

If it's shipping from the US, it probably won't ship until sometime on Thursday. That happened with my iPhone 4 last year. Wife's shipped from China, mine shipped from US.

Ya sorry about that I just found it right after I posted this.

I normally look and do a search but for some reason didn't look this time and just posted.

PLEASE DISREGARD THIS UN-NEEDED THREAD.
