My email had the presign link not the UPS tracking page. Also, the order confirmation on the apple website had it as well.
Same here, except mine made it out of China in two days to Korea and has been there since Thursday, no change in UPS site for 4 days now.
4 days in Korea for mine too. I thought maybe they didn't operate on the weekend or something, but it's already nearly 1pm Monday there and still nothing. Apple should drop UPS.
Ordered 00:01 on Sep 20 via the Apple Store app
Macrumors tip that it was more reliable than the website proved right as i was reading my email confirmation before the store went online!
Gold 32Gb arrived pretty much after 9am in Leeds UK.

Ho hum
I no longer have the ability on my apple store app for canceling my order. But it still says processing. If I want to cancel go to website. Ho hum. Ordered 32gb gold 11:00 am sept 20. Apple doesn't say October of what year so I'm beginning to think it's not this year. My credit card has not been charged yet either

I don't want to cancel I just thought maybe something was going on with my order
I registered after lurking for quite some time just to say, I feel everyone's pain. Ordered an AT&T 16gb gold on September 21 and it's still processing. I really can't understand how they haven't even completed or at least given a date to all the launch day orders yet!! I'm not saying I didn't expect this delay but an estimated date is better than "October." #
Most likely, they won't give you a more specific date until it ships. Like, if you're expecting "october" to turn into "October 21-27" or something, it's more than likely just going to remain "October" until you get a notification of the shipment.
Yeah, I figured. I'm hoping to hear something this week but I'm not holding my breath.
Message for Italian Blend, sometimes canceling your order requires you to speak with a Live Operator.
I'm just going off of what he said. It told him to go to the website to cancel
Ok, I got it, I was just mentioning that because Apple sometimes wants to verify that the person canceling the order is the same person who placed the order.
----------
By the way, I have a question for you Italian Blend: Did you NOT pay the additional fee for Expedited Shipping and still have it ship UPS World Wide Expedited like Apple did so for me? Or did you pay the fee? Just curious?
----------
I don't think UPS works on Weekends! They don't work on Weekends here in the U.S.A. If you want something to arrive on a Saturday you have to use Fedex!
I didn't pay anything extra. It says Worldwide Expedited on the UPS page. Is that better than normal shipping?
I am NOT sure if it is better or worse than normal International Shipping, because once a product is no longer in short supply: Apple ships everything else out of their Nashville, TN, U.S.A. Warehouse.
----------
I must also note that the only International Shipments that I receive is from Apple, as I do NOT work (I'm mentally impaired) and do NOT order anything else from any other company that sends me an International Shipment.
Message for Rog: Here in the U.S.A. UPS does indeed have the weekend off, don't know about Internationally, but here in the U.S.A. UPS considers the weekend a family holiday, I know this because I once tried to apply to work at UPS but did NOT get hired by them, if you want Saturday Service you need to use Fedex, NOT UPS. It's sad that Apple decided to use UPS for everything coming out of China, where as they normally use Fedex for their Nashville, TN, U.S.A. Shipments! My shipment sat in China all weekend long as well.
Finally left Korea after 3 days and 4 hours. left Monday night at 11:30pm there. Mine says Worldwide Expedited though I didn't pay extra for shipping. Not very expedited if it stays in 1 location over 3 days.
Mine said still dispatched but still in Shenzen, estimate weds on Sun.
Monday morning it said it was out on delivery from Leeds UK
Monday morning it said it was out on delivery from Leeds UK
i have the same dates as you, except mine still says its in ZhengZhou
it must have missed the flight to korea Very frustrated bought 9/21 phone has said preparing to ship and sim has said processing for over a week now and CC Still has yet to be charged ... 32 gb gold from AT&T. I just want to see my bank acct plummet for darn sakes I've never wished for money to fly out like this but damn! The whole process has been a bit disheartening I am an android converter with this phone it will be my first iphone since the very first generation one I was very excited. I popped into the local apple store and they mentioned that they've been getting regular shipments of gold now (they were sold out at the time) I don't think it's right that Joe Schmo can walk in and 10 mins walk out with a prized 5s while we ordered on launch day or soon thereafter and it's yet to be shipped.

I think the UPS shipment that left Incheon, Korea on 10/07/2013 at 11:34 P.M. (Korean time) Is flight number KAL213 to Alaska. Anyone else have an order that just left Korea? Mine sat there for 4 days and just left 3 hours ago. Expedited my ass.
