What does it say under tracking on your order page on Apple's website? That seems to get updated with 'Out for delivery' more quickly than the UPS tracker.
Got a tip for us?

I'm in the same boat.
Its probably out for delivery and the status just hasn't updated. Otherwise, it may be that its going to be on a later van which hasn't left yet. Given that it says 'Monday by end of day' still, that is what it should be.

Love it lol
Have to say, although I am pleased to finally have my phone, in a sad kind of way I will miss refreshing UPS website every 5 minutes as well as this one, it made my days at work less boring. I have never ever tracked a plane in my life until I ordered this phone. Brilliant stuff!
mine moved from that to the following in the last 5 minutes... The status update was very slow!
London, United Kingdom 10/07/2013 7:25 A.M. Out For Delivery
Stansted, United Kingdom 10/06/2013 11:20 P.M. Arrival Scan
Mine left Croydon depot 7:26
I waited till 9:30 for it. Left for work. It arrived at 9:46 lol, I really should have waited. My dad said he will bring it in when he gets some time.
South West London deliveries coming in then. Gold 64gb and 32gb if anyone is wondering. Happy to finally (almost) have the phone lol

Finally a delayed "out for delivery" update appeared after it being stuck on arrival scan stansted. Nearly there guys.
Terrible news
I'm also in North London with a phone that's been showing as having had its Arrival Scan at Stansted at 11:20PM on 10/06/2013. I called UPS to find out what's going on. The agent initially said it should still be with me by the end of the day but then he said, "hold on, I'm just going to check something". Then he came back and told me no, there's a mistake and it's not going to be delivered until Wednesday. I asked why it had been showing as scheduled for today from the moment it had dispatched, but he said he couldn't explain it. Sorry everyone. I was going to be working from home today anyway but I feel for those of you who took the day off work. 🙁

Haha! And now the UPS site says out for delivery! WTF?!

I'm NW London and my phone (32gb silver) arrived at Stansted yesterday eve. My original delivery date was the 14th, then it changed to the 9th, but UPS tracker says it's out for delivery now! I don't know why I'm so exited because I'm not going to open the box as I should be getting a 64gb from eBay instead- but that won't come until next week 🙁
The Apple website has always said Wednesday from the beginning. There was also somebody who rung up UPS last week to find out what was happening when they were in Germany and the Customer Service Operator said that the information they had said Wednesday was delivery day, even though it was showing Monday. So I think its likely Wednesday is the date they have to deliver by to meet their shipping criteria, but its in a position where it can be delivered today.
Where in North London are you?
I'm in Holloway, mine still hasn't changed yet though.
My 32gb gold has just this minute been delivered. Had the front door open before the driver even got to the top of the path. 🙂
My 32Gb Silver arrived an hour ago!!! I've been following the same journeys in this thread. What an uncomfortable wait! My iPhone 4 had been through a right journey, first with its power/wake button stopping working, I sent it off to be repaired. When it came back to me, the power/wake button was fixed, but the WiFi had stopped working, and the chip blown (of course, the repair folks saying it had nothing whatsoever to do with their repair).
So I was relying on 3G only through August - particularly annoying when I was abroad and couldn't use any WiFi! Then early September, my iPhone accidently fell into a bowl of water in the sink. I thought it had well and truly had it then, but after nearly a week letting it dry, and about to recycle it - it powered on - and everything worked, except the brightness was messed up. So I used it up to about a week before the 5S was announced, but recycled it early as it was killing my eyes!
So I've had to wait for about a month for a fully working iPhone now - in the meantime using an old skool Samsung j700i - how on earth did we manage to text on those keypad phones? And only to rub salt into the wounds, my partners new 5S arrives a week earlier than mine, even though I ordered a few minutes earlier than him!
Oh well, I found I could cope quite well, and it did make it feel like I was waiting for Christmas as the arrival came closer! It seems so novel to have an iPhone again!

Any update on the SE London delivery? Anyone lucky enough to receive theirs yet? 🙂 I'm still waiting
Yes. I hopefully should have a 5S 64GB Gold being delivered today! I did order at 00:10 though, so somewhat earlier than yours...

Any Belfast members on here? I'm heading over there now for work purposes, was wondering what my chances are of picking up a 5s from the Victoria Square store?

Progress
Ordered my 32gb gold on September the 20th at 9.30 am and received the confirmation email at 9.42am.
Finally changed to preparing for despatch from processing when I checked this morning.
Bought myself the spigen neo hybrid ex in champagne gold and the glas.tr nano ultra screen protector ordered for delivery too which should be here before the phone hopefully.
Hope everyone else has some progress soon too
