Ordered the 32GB silver/white model at the retail store right after the 'out of stock' call at the local Apple Store.

Order date: 09/20/2013
Shipped on 09/21/2013
Arrived on 09/27/2013

I opted for the free ground shipping since I was out of town till Oct 1.
 
Just rechecked my order status and now it says shipped and I have a UPS tracking number that has a shipped date of 10/5/13. So just to confirm this order included a gold 16GB ordered on 9/22/13. I opted for free shipping, any chance TMO gives free upgrading shipping since they took this long to fill the order?

Good to see the 16 gb starting to ship. It'd be nice for the 32gb to start now :D

I called T-mobile multiple times and they all told me that they are going to recieve shipments on October 9th and that I should recieve my 16Gb and 32Gb by the 11th or by the 14th. They also told me that the majority of people which ordered the devices should receive it around the same time.

That's great to hear. Ground shipping from Kentucky is usually 2 days for me so maybe I can have it by that weekend. It'll be nice to stop obsessing over my delivery time.
 
My order is being sent 2nd day air even though I selected free shipping. I live in Hawaii so everything has to get on a plane at some point.

This makes a lot of sense. I only ordered my T-mobile version on 10/03 and have a similar EST ship date.
 
I got an email this morning that our 32GB Gold 5S (ordered from Apple site 1:15 after launch) has shipped! UPS states expected delivery is the 14th. Shipped from China. This is particularly good since it is a birthday gift for my wife, and her birthday is on the 18th.
 
I ordered my 16GB Gold iPhone from T-Mobile store around 8AM on launch day. Received a text confirmation last night stating it had shipped. I track it today and it says its out for delivery!:D

I would just like it to ship today because then I should have it on Friday. If it ships tomorrow I'd probably end up having to wait until Monday for it to be delivered. Let's just hope we start seeing some 32gb phones shipping pretty soon.
 
just spoke with T-mobile representative, they told me that my phone 5S Gold 16GB shipped today already. I ordered mine on 9/28.

Wow no offense but it ridiculous that you ordered after most of us and they already sent you your phone . I thought they ship on a first come first serve basis . I ordered two devices on September 20th @ 8:24 AM . 16gb and a 32gb both gold .

I think because from the 20th till now, tmobile doesn't has gold stock until now, so everyone that order the gold iphone should get ship out today eventhough they don't send out delivery confirmation yet. you should call t-mobile and check

Congratulations! No updates on my order yet, and I also ordered on the 20th. Hopefully mine isn't too far away. Of course, I ordered from the T-Mobile store, so, who knows.
 
Apparently, over at the T-mobile support forums, only people who placed in-store orders are the ones already receiving their shipment notifications. :(
 
Well i have an update , I should be receiving my devices tommorrow . I got the tracking information yesterday and I just got home from work and I did a check and it stated that 10/11/13 @ end of day.
 
I am looking at purchasing the black 16GB or 32GB 5S, but I don't know if I should wait to reserve in store and keep checking every day or just order online from apple. Any suggestions?

i think you should check with local tmobile because every tmobile store in my area has black color.
