I expect to see our phones who have had a arrival scan in ZhengZhou to fly out later tonight, but definitely tomorrow. My Est. Delivery is 10/29, so it should arrive in the US, Sunday night or Monday.
Thanks everyone! According to the email from Apple, my iPhone should be delivered on Halloween, but according to UPS it should be delivered Tuesday, October 29, 2013. I'm going to trust UPS on this one! I'm just happy that I will get my iPhone in the same month that I ordered it!
I sure hope so, since checking the UPS page every 5 minutes without any change is killing me.
I ordered Oct. 12th, and just charge from my credit card. Do you know when will my iphone be shipped usually after they charge?
Was in the same boat
Mine was preparing for shipment since Thursday as well. I ordered it on September 21, 9:30 a.m. 32 GB Gold AT&T. It finally shipped out on Saturday. If you ordered on September 21 as well you should complain.

Does your order say Preparing for shipment? If it is, then it will probably ship tonight or early tomorrow.
i order 32GB ATT GOLD on 9/20 9:45 AM, WTF! Does any body know if phones ship saturday or sunday on china???
If your phone is scheduled for a Monday or Tuesday delivery, then yes it should move on a Saturday. For Wednesday-Friday delivery, it will move on Monday morning.
Happy to report, my goldy 64gb AT&T shipped too. Currently arrived at ZhengZhou. Email from Apple says it is to be delivered on 10/31 by EOD, but UPS tracking gives a 10/29 delivery.
Same here!!!!! Finally. Damn that was exhausting. It'll be forever until Tuesday now.
But what I don't get is I am at the same stage with people who have delivery date of Tuesday right now, but mine is delivered Wednesday. Same expedited shipping, but why Wednesday instead of Tuesday.
The 32GB Gold AT&T changed to Shipped today. Both phones ordered early 09/21 are scheduled to arrive 10/31!
It might be the time we all received our shipped notices , maybe it determines what day we get it? Just know that there might be thousands of other people getting the phone shipped out at the same time also?
I paid for the expedited shipping, did you? Originally delivered by Nov 1 but now that it's shipping UPS says delivery Tuesday afternoon.
I really wouldn't sweat it.
Almost certainly, yours will catch the same flight to the USA as everyone else's.
You didn't mention where you live, but perhaps you live somewhere that requires more time for delivery within UPS's network, but either way -- UPS and FedEx both build in extra time for the estimated deliveries from China. Both will actually move it through their systems as fast as possible, and typically things are delivered a day (or sometimes two) early.
For example, I also ordered a rMBP 13", it shipped from china on thursday with an estimated delivery date of tuesday. It actually arrived at my city's fedex depot on friday night, and almost certainly will actually be delivered on Monday.
In case anyone else is curious and wants to compare status ...

My information is nearly identical. Tuesday can't come soon enough!
Ordered At&t 32 gold on 9/25 around 7am
Prepared to ship all day on 10/24.
Got a shipping notice around 1:30 am on 10/25 with delivery scheduled for 10/29.
I called and got my shipping upgraded to 2-3 days a few weeks ago.
My ups guy is great but I don't anticipate it arriving a minute before 8pm on 10/29, so I'll be going to work.
Such a sharp contrast to ordering the 5 last year. Pre ordered at 3am and my phone was delivered at 9am on launch day.

I live in Seattle WA, but it can't possibly take an extra day to deliver can it?
And here are my status:
ZhengZhou, China
10/25/2013 11:00 P.M. Arrival Scan
10/25/2013 10:15 P.M. Departure Scan
10/25/2013 7:00 P.M. Origin Scan

11:11 P.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS
I'm not sweating it, just think it's weird how my status up until now is identical to some people, but theirs is estimated to be delivered Tuesday.
Anyways, for those who already had their phones or had experience with UPS, are they usually spot on with their estimate, or do they sometimes deliver early? I really hope they deliver early (Tuesday)
Sweet! When will be the next shipment update since checking UPS every 5 minutes is killing me?
Anyone else's tracking page saying Not Available, or ">>> Not all tracking information is available at this time. Please try again later."?
My 2 orders both are saying that
