Order on launch day at 9:45AM EST, my phone is now "preparing for shipment" and my bank account has been charged "still pending though".

Still not happy until i see it "shipped"...

I have expedite shipping, anybody have any idea when the phone could be delivered?

I ordered 32GB Gold ATT on 9/21 at 9:30 a.m. I have the same status. I have regular shipping so you should get yours much sooner.
 
Preparing for shipment w/ a pending charge on my credit card.
Ordered a gold 32 for At&t on 9/25.
 
Lala Land

Who knows. Just glad too see some kind of movement. Was starting to think my phone was in Lala Land.

Also glad to see movement. I do think we all were in Lala Land. They have that new commercial for Iphone gold with the song Ooh La La by sniffies.
I won't be singing Ooh La La until I have gold in my hot little hands.:rolleyes:
 
I have too. I've had every phone since the first gen back in 2007 on launch day. Never has been a problem. They did claim to have sold 9 million of these things, but still, 34 days? I will agree with you and call BS on the Apple TV. Even with a receipt I'd still call BS. Why would Apple give someone an Apple TV because their phone is backordered? Please...:p

They offered me free Apple TV :p but I picked the Heartbeats by Dre headphones instead! She said anything under 100$ !!!
 
FINALLLLY WOOOOOO PREPARING FOR SHIPMENT I THOUGHT THIS DAY WIULD NEVER COME it's just so nice that after 34-35 days I get to see a different status on the page I've refreshed well over 1000 times haha. I really hope my phone ships within the next 24 hours tht would be completely exciting come on PLSSSS!!

Gold. AT&T. 32 GB. Confirmation Email received at 11:22 9/20
 
Okay after everyone posting the preparing shipment status I just check my order status again and GUESS WHAT!!! Preparing for shipment as well (25 days of waiting), and there is a pending Charge on my CC... I hope it delivers on OCT 30 and not NOV 1 so I don't need to take a "sick day"...

BTW I got 2x gold 32gb Tmobile...

So glad to see everyone's phones preparing to ship at the same time! Forum is going to be going nuts when orders start shipping! Congrats everyone!
 
finally

I have been following this thread since September 20th as I do every time a new iPhone comes out. Part of the excitement is reading about other people also waiting for their iPhone. I tried ordering my iPhone at 1201 PST but my autopay didn't work for my phone bill and because i had a 60 dollar balance, it wouldn't allow me to upgrade my phones. It took until 8am PST for the payment to post and , even at that time, I wasn't too aggravated because I thought, it's no big deal, because it's only been 8 hours since the launch time. Well, I've been really surprised that when they said October, they really meant the very last day. I finally received my notice that my gold 16gb att phone has departed China and is on its way with a delivery date of October 30th. This is after compulsively checking every few hours to see if my status had changed. For over a month. I called apple to expedite shipping, which they did for free, and they also sent me an apple tv, which made me pretty happy. I'm going to be sad once i receive my gold iPhone and have no reason to check this thread anymore but them i realized i have less that 11 months to do it all over again.
 
Me too me too!!! Preparing for shipment and there's a charge on my CC! It's better than Christmas! :D
Ordered gold 64gb AT&T on 9/20.
 
9/24 gold 32GB AT&T

Preparing for shipment! Now I'm gonna be refereshing this page constantly :/

But my phone has been made! It officially EXISTS!
 
Yes, well the song is quite suggestive. ;):D But, did you notice the slide where it says iPhone 5s? Did you see the bottom of that slide?

Never noticed it until now.

Anybody know how long from prepared for shipment to shipped~~~I hope just one day, because tomorrow is the business day in China, and Ups would send the staff so I can get my phone next week
 
Those of you who went to preparing for shipment

Don't get so excited. Mine has been in the "Preparing for Shipment" status since last Friday.
