This annoys me (not because you have a date specifically, I'm happy for ya :)). I ordered on the 3rd Oct (Over a week ago) and I have no date but 'October'. This launch has been a shambles from my point of view.

I know, it does seem a bit all over the place.. I was expecting to have to wait much longer. I can only assume it has to with the quantities of colours/sizes people are waiting for?
 
I am planning to move to that plan as well! But it seems my iPhone order on Apple online store just updated its dispatch date! I will stay put and wait for it, as I don't have any spare cash anyway to splash on a 2nd iPhone 5S in a week.
Though I will move to 3 when I get the new phone.

You're going for Space Grey, right? They do seem to be the most plentiful of the three flavours. I'd say you're making the right choice with regards to waiting for a bit if you're already seeing progress with your order.

Best of luck – hope it arrives soon (with a calibrated M7?!).

I'd stop taking notice of the Order Status site, It was shocking. Does it still just say 'preparing for dispatch'?
 
If last weeks batch is anything to go by, it should still move throughout the weekend. :)

I will assume our phones will take the next flight, I got departure scan 13:10(UK time) in Shenzhen, while UPS63 departed from Hongkong 12:35.

Awaiting!!!!!!!
 
Yeah. I'm gonna phone and complain again when I get home, as people who ordered after me seem to at least have dates instead of just 'October'.

Yeah, give them call - See what's happening. Although, whilst I was on a rant this morning and everyone was getting these expected dates, mine was obviously on imminent dispatch so the same might be said for yours.

It'll be the second complaint in two days, and this time I wont let up quite so easily.

I'm not gonna hold my breath on it dispatching. As I mentioned yesterday, I'm still treating it as 'In progress' until I either get some updated dates or a Dispatch notification.
 
Quite a late order - I ordered mine on 4th October (16GB Space Grey).

Status just changed from Dispatched: October to
Processing Items Dispatched: by October 18
Delivery: 21 Oct, 2013

Good times :D

New poster here, by the way.

Good news on the order status buddy!

I think Apple are due a wee call from me based on this, though. I ordered a 16G Space Grey on the 25th September, have put up with the change in Order Status nonsense three times now and it's still sitting at 'Preparing for Dispatch: Dispatched: October'.

Anybody else think this is a bit off? Find it a bit weird that there's now quite a number of folk on here who ordered the same handset after the 25th and are seeing concrete movement in the way of either actual dispatches or confirmation of dates, or both.
 
Wooo it's changed!!!

Might be just a system delay, yours might be already with ours.:cool:
I ordered same model 25th night.
 
Hmm... yeah that seems more likely.

UPDATE: I think we might be UPS 59!

its definitely arrived at hong kong, the flight out from shenzhen to HK is two hours, and its been hours since the departure scan. I think its left HK too, but we'll see when UPS track page updates!
 
Put your order number into the UPS site track by reference section, see if you've had a label created. That's a sure sign it's about to be dispatched!

Isn't locating it. That's with all information entered, such as post code and destination country, and with just the Apple Order number alone.

I'm becoming increasingly addicted in refreshing the UPS app :D
