Setting up this thread so September orders can be tracked for those move to 'preparing to ship' status.

Here are some notes to help track orders:

Apple will automatically add your phone with it's serial number in your support profile. You can see it here:
https://supportprofile.apple.com/

You can look up the week of manufacture and factory here: http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html or
http://sndeep.info/en

Links: for tracking:

http://www.ups.com/WebTracking/reference?loc=en_US

Track by reference (order number minus last 2 digits) you should find it

No. Only orders direct through Apple since UPS handles their fulfillment (which means UPS receives Apple order information shortly after you receive your initial order confirmation email). The carriers handle their own fulfillment. Your order information will move from Sprint to one of the delivery companies when they have your phone physically in their inventory at wherever Sprints warehouse is. Once UPS ships inventory to Sprint, they will begin assigning tracking numbers with the delivery company.

Me neither. They must not have been updated yet.

Mine is in KY, it should be in GA the destination state tomorrow... I'm going to pull it off the truck once it gets to the final destination state and go pick it up Friday morning.

I don't know. All I can see on the Apple website (apple app) is my purchase which was Thursday night around 2:15 am. From there it just says it will be delivered on September 16Th.
Looks like the Sept 16th is the date he is looking for.
