Cool! Mine still hasn't changed though.. What date did you order?
Edit! Just checked and mine's finally changed, woo-hoo!
Any idea roughly how long it takes from the initial 'Preparing for Shipment' to the actual delivery?

I ordered the 13th...
Not sure how long it will take, hopefully will ship by the weekend be here early next week? Maybe that's wishful thinking huh?
That's what I'm hoping for! Fingers crossed, will let you know if I see any change on my order.
Ahhhh mine (16gb gold, ordered 18th October) is now preparing for dispatch!! Can anyone who's already got theirs give a heads up on how long it took between changing to preparing to dispatch and actually dispatching / arriving??
Mine went to preparing for dispatch on a Thursday and it was delivered on the Monday.
You should have fun tracking it across the globe over the weekend.
If feels like it's been so long since ordering! Can't wait to start tracking!
Monday was be pretty amazing from China!

UPS stated expected delivery was to be Tuesday. Apple stated Wednesday. UPS updated tracking on the Monday morning.
So I would take the expected and estimated delivery lightly. They tend to deliver a day early.
Loving the 5s. The Touch ID is great.
Ordered 12/10 and dispatched today!
Looks like a big shipment in next week. Hope everyone who's been waiting ages for their new iPhone gets them soon!

When did yours change to 'Preparing for Shipment'?
I think if you are ordering gold then you are asking for trouble regarding waiting times. Im not sure what the craze is about myself but I guess being "gold colour" and something different appeals to the masses.
I'm back!
Well after getting my 5s in the first batch (ordered 23:59 19 Sept, delivered 1 Oct) I have returned it. iOS 7.0.3 did NOT in the end fix the gyroscope problem for me.
My replacement 5s is currently showing:
Processing Items Dispatched: 2 - 3 weeks
Delivery: 22 Nov, 2013 - 28 Nov, 2013 by Standard Shipping
I was told that, as a replacement, it should be bumped to the front on the queue - any ideas how long that takes?

Turned to Preparing for Shipment Thursday afternoon, and changed to Dispatched this morning. Once you see it change I think it'll ship within 24 hours. My date for delivery says November 7th, however noticed that most people have said it's quicker and is usually delivered quickly when it leaves China by plane.
Thanks, mine is now showing as shipped with a UPS tracking number, although if I enter that into the UPS tracking it says it can't find it. Any idea how long it takes to show up?
Thanks for your help!
Hi! Did your status change to 'Shipped' on the Friday then? Mine has just changed and trying to work out if it's likely to arrive on Monday or Tuesday!
Thanks

Have a look how here on how to track with just the order number - http://www.lifewithtech.net/apple/tips-track-your-iphone-5-with-out-a-ups-tracking-number/
That's great, thank you!!
Although not scheduled to arrive until wednesday, not Monday
On UPS website I used the 'Our delivery reference number' in the UPS 'Track by Reference' part and set the date range to today's date for start and finish and it provided me with a full tracking number. Currently the phone is in ZhengZhou, China
Glad to say mine changed to shipped this morning. Estimated delivery the 7th by world ease :/. Hope that changes!
Picked up a 32GB 5S in gold from my local Apple store in Leicester, plenty of stock apart from the 16GB gold, seems they got a shipment alongside the iPad Airs today. Loving it so far but I am tempted by the Space Grey....
