I mean, we're on the 1-3 group.
Then comes the 7-10 days.
Then comes the 2-3 weeks right? Or does this not exist?
Then comes October.
We're finishing up one, and there is either one more, or two groups still before that group. Honestly.
Got a tip for us?

Amazing what one day does. Mine:

Argh!

Everything in FL looks the same, I'm so happy I moved away.

Sounds about right. Mine says Wed delivery, but it's being shipped UPS, which is so horrible in Manhattan that I have a better chance of chopping off my manhood and then impregnating a woman than I do actually getting my phone on Wed.

From your keyboard to ZhengZhou, China's UPS center's ears.

Hey that's basically mine too. That big schedule didn't have me in it. We'll be on the same plane tomorrow!
Also, have faith. UPS is pretty accurate.
Hmm. Got my email at 12:03 PDT also - 64GB Gold ATT - it has been stuck in ZhengZhou since yesterday. But the phone and serial number now show up in the Apple "My Support Profile," along with my iPads and MacBooks and stuff, so there's definitely one with my name on it
i am in the same group, and still stuck at processing. i got my order confirmation at 3:05 CST, for 2 t-mobile 16gb gold.
what are the order times for the people stuck in October group?
Hey can I get a screenshot of that UPS page? I wanna see what all to expect in the tracking page.

Best of luck to all who haven't shipped yet! My mom's among them, but she doesn't really care so...
I ordered mine on the 22nd as well. Just wish we had more than "October" to go off of.
Amen! Just the fact that the date of October is so open-ended, is slightly unnerving. Would definitely suck, if they ended up using the whole month.
I know it doesn't help much, but I work for corporate AT&T. Our shipping estimate updates that we get on a daily basis say 21-28 days for grey and silver (all sizes), and gold is 21-42 days for all sizes.
I don't know if Apple has the same estimates as us, or if supply will pick up, but this makes me think that we won't have phones until the end of October.
Can't do a screenshot, but here's a text capture of the tracking page, (I ordered it Friday morning, through Sprint):

Yikes, well that doesn't sound too good for me, I fall into the latter of the two. I don't know about you. However the bright side is that some people were given the 21-28 days... and magically their phone started shipping the next day.
Trying to remain positive!
I think I lucked out, and got one of the models that Sprint had on-hand, (thus, the fast shipping).
BTW, status just updated, it's in my town now:
Zanesville, OH, United States 09/23/2013 11:46 P.M. Arrival Scan
I ordered my 5S 64GB t-mobile unlocked from the Apple site on Sept 22 also around 12pm central time and I'm still stuck in 'processing order' ....
Honestly that works the same or better! Mind if I ask, do you know what obetz and columbus are? I assume its now on the way to your local Post Office but are those just like distribution areas along the way?
UPS sorting or distribution centers, I would guess. They are within 15 miles of each other, (which is laughable that they bothered going from Obetz to Columbus). Both of them are less than an hour from me. I'd of had the phone by now, if it wasn't for it sitting there from Saturday until Monday. My guess is that Obetz was the holding/sorting center, receiving the phone from the south, (Louisville); and Columbus is the distribution center that sent the phone eastward to me.
Looks like four large cargo planes full of iPhones on their way from Anchorage to Louisville
