Mine just arrived in Hong Kong, so my guess is that within the next three to four hours there will be a flight headed toward Germany, maybe with a few stops along the way. As I recall they've called in at the UAE and Dubai on the way.
Got a tip for us?

Gizmodo would be wrong!!!
There are some with the problem, but it is not all, that's just some idiot journalist trying to be sensational.
Launch day iPhone 5s, no problems with the sensor.
I downloaded an app to my old iPhone and checked it against the 5s. 0.1° difference at most (and as the 5s app only shows full degrees they might well be identical with the 5s rounding the 0.9 to 1.

I've seen 2 UPS delivery routes, Hong Kong > Dubai or Hong Kong > Anchorage
Current ones seem to be going via Dubai

Someone just knocked on my door, being the optimist that I fumbled around to find my keys, frantically ran down the stairs and swiftly pulled open the door and there stood a delivery man, I signed for the package with the biggest grin on my face. Closed the door, then looked at the package, it was from Ebay addressed to my mum . . . gutted lol 
I think UPS are having hiccups with their public tracking this week. So there's a chance it may be out for delivery but the site may not have updated the status yet, try track through Apples site sometimes the status on there differs from UPS, their estimates are usually reliable though so if the UPS says it should arrive today then chances are it probably will, fingers crossed
okie. thanks for the help. i am on it now!

Try give them a quick call?
Apple Store Trafford Centre 01612401000
If they do get any you'll have to be quick, the gold ones seem to fly out the second they hit the stores
If you are referring to the batch that had the last update as:
Koeln, Germany 10/04/2013 3:40 A.M. Import Scan
I don't really think there is a lot to be gained by calling UPS. Yes the tracking system might not always update quickly enough, but its just about to go noon, so if they were actually in the UK and Out for Delivery, somebody would have had their phone by now and posted about it.
I think its more likely the phones haven't left Germany yet. Regardless of when they actually leave, whether its this morning, evening or tomorrow, they aren't going to come until Monday, which was the forecast delivery date anyway.
Just a few Space Grays 64 this morning at Arndale, all gone
No gold I assume the same for TC
Mine doesn't seem to have a problem either - I wonder if there is one bad batch that is creating all the news? People rarely post about things that work properly....
Ordered 64GB Gold 20th morning after apple store said all golds (maybe just 1-2 of them) were committed to people ahead of me in the queue.
I'm in the blanket 'october' category but this morning status changed to preparing for dispatch. Would anyone know how long it takes to get tracking details from here on ?

Given that mine were dispatched for HK a couple of hours ago, I am going to guess that you'll get dispatched tomorrow.
UPS is listing mine for Wednesday delivery here in London.
Thanks netdog.
Just checked UPS again and it says a shipping label has been created. God is in his heaven and all is well with the world, again ..... until I start tracking something else.

I can see it being a month wait until I actually have the phone. These delays get worse every year.

My apple tracking still just says in China!!
Weren't you in the "Dispatch October" group?
That means they will dispatch sometime in October, why would you feel its a problem? The people who ordered in the first groups are getting their phones early, it seems Apple are doing a good job with orders.
Lol after checking apples site so does mine, UPS still says Kolen, Germany so its looking rather inevitable that mine will most likely arrive on Monday as originally scheduled either way I'm happy to wait as my Zagg invisibleshield that was due to arrive in today's post never made it, god forbid my shiny new iphone got scratched
