Late to the party this time but just got in and my status has also gone back to 'preparing for dispatch' for the third time. At this point I'm treating that as a glitch and that it's still 'processing'.
Apple need to sort this out.
Got a tip for us?

I have been without my iphone 4s since 22 Sept when i sold it so i feel your pain. Fingers crossed our phones will arrive next week.
Exact same thing for me. Ordered 32gb gold on 21.09 9:48AM UK time.
I recommend usetrackthis.com to get notifications from UPS, much more detailed and frequent info.
Congrattt I'm living without iPhone for a month too. Can't wait to get mine-
You're living a whole month without your iphone??? I don't think I could go 12 hours...haha. I have only forgotten my phone once at home for 10 hours while I was at work. Was the worst 10 hours of my life..hahah
25 days to Prepare to Dispatch (last night) and dispatched this morning!
16GB Silver ordered on 22nd.

About 4pm on the 21st. Got a departure scan on UPS now.

Geez Alex, hope yours moves today...
Yeahh I sold my 4s before moving to UK to study. At the first time I plan to buy one in contract but I can't do it. Just live without iPhone for a month. Poor life
Congrats! Mines still on preparing
Hope it moves for you today buddy.
I must admit that it was worth the wait. Got mine on Monday and have just about got it setup the way I want it. The fingerprint scanner is an interesting, if a bit gimmicky feature, bu the real improvements are under the hood. The A7 makes the phone noticeably faster than my 5 was, the camera's low light sensor and greater area really makes a difference to the camera's performance as well.
And...I like the Gold. Contrasted with the Brown leather flip case it looks great too.

You've probably got a bit of a wait on your hands. I ordered on the 3rd of October, and my order status has been all over the place going between 'processing' and 'Preparing for dispatch'. However people who ordered on the 21st September are still only just having their orders dispatched in some cases.
At current it lists it as 'Preparing to Dispatch' but UPS tracking gives me nothing, so I'll believe it when I see it.

I hope it does too
All the best with your order today, hope it ships
I'm not counting on it, nothings moved in the past hour so I think I'm still in for a long wait.

I'm doubting it. UPS still lists nothing for me...
25 days? Did you order on Sept 6th or was it a typo?
It's only been 15 (working) days since Apple started taking orders and 14 since the 22nd.
Usually on time or early. Very rarely late.
