For everyone in this thread, just to let you know, the group that was 1-3 days estimated between sept 29 - oct 2 which is the first batch, has been getting emails saying sept 26th, I believe all with UPS.

They could move later depending on the time, as they haven't gotten super deep, but point is, they're ahead of schedule.
 
Thanks Rallybrick, how about the reference number?

If by reference number you mean tracking number it is included in the confirmation email from Apple. However the tracking number is not yet active in the UPS system, so we have to wait and se if the shipping will be local or from China.

You can track without a tracking number by using a reference number like phone number or order number I just can't remember how :confused:
 
last year the reference number was your phone number but that doesn't seem to be working...at least for now.

Last year it was the order number I recall....

But I am in the second group, so nothing to try yet.
 
Ordered my iPhone 5s with Three on a two year contract. Can't wait to sell my iPhone 4S :)
 
I live in the UK and I ordered online, when I log onto the order status page it says "were sorry, order status services are extremely busy right now"... Does this mean that I won't get my iPhone till end of October? :(:(/(/:)
 
Yeah, I'm getting the "We're sorry, but our Order Status services are extremely busy right now. Please try again later" message too. Hopefully it means they are updating a ton of people's statuses to "Shipped"! :cool:
 
I ordered my 64GB Black iPhone 5S at 2am Sydney time, and was informed that shipping wouldn't occur for 7 - 10 business days. Kind of frustrating, but they can do what they want of course.

Haven't seen any update that would contradict this. Any other Australians have the same issue?
 
Went to the local Best Buy, and they were only given 60 5S phones! Called the nearby Verizon store, and they had one space grey 64GB. Ran over, and now I own it. First smartphone I've ever owned, but it's not too unfamiliar; I have an iPod 5G.
 
My 5s switched to Shipped as well. The email said 9/26, however, the UPS page now says Tue 9/24 by end of day. I got standard delivery and original delivery estimate was 9/30.

Last Location:
Arrived - ZhengZhou, China, Sunday, 09/22/2013
 
Shipped! Expected Sept. 26th!

So happy! Just got the email from Apple. My wife has been showing off her new 5c for almost two days now. Four more days....

Ordered the 16gb Silver 5s.
 
Ok I ordered my 16gb gold iphone 5s at 12:15 am got confirmation and just a few minutes ago went to ups and says a label has been created and I should get tracking number within 24 hours.I went to reference and put my phone number and that what info I got. And my shipping is the 7-10 days batch. Ok I due have a tracking number and says order processed and ready for ups

This order thread is US centric, I know. The other one is silent as well.

So here's my question:

Did anyone from EUROPE ordering from Apple Online receive a status update other than "Processing" ?
 
My 12:05am order is shipped! Arriving to SoCal in sept 25th, Wednesday. Kinda stoked, not gonna lie.
 
Apple says delivery is for Sept 26 but according to the UPS tracking data it says it will be here on Sept 24th.
