Same as last years, I have 0 updates here in Romania...ordered from 3rd party store (no Apple store here) and probably i'll only get an update 1 day before delivery. :(
 
I think tomorrow we will have news (for the phones to be delivered Friday)

Edit: no, it´s Thursday like some of you said, just checked last year's thread

My order for two phones and two cases is still just processing.

Since I ordered on Friday, the cases have said that they were supposed to be delivered today. But the Apple Store app still shows that they are processing (not even preparing for delivery). I don’t really mind since I can’t do anything with the cases yet anyway; but it would be nice to see some of my items move to “Preparing for Shipment”!

I haven’t heard from DHL yet either. Is there a way to lookup your shipment with DHL using a reference number (like with UPS)?

My package don't shows up in any of them. But I'm sure they send the phone from somewhere close so it will get shipped tomorrow or Thursday

Has anyone had luck and got their original order (25th-30th) moved up to preparing for shipping?

The second device I ordered has the same date and it still didn't move up.

From my past experience, it definitely should arrive before the 30th. It'll probably be shipped on Monday or Tuesday.

Related to the status "Prepared for shipping": this means that the device is on it's way to the destination country and the order will change it status to "Shipped" when it arrives in your country.

Ordered two devices this year. One of them will arrive on launch day. The other device, that I ordered less than one minute later, will arrive between the 25th and 30th.

Also got my last device on launch day (iPhone 13).

Same here. But I actually did both me & my wife's phones in the same order. Neither the "Arrives September 20th" nor the "Arrives between September 25th-30th" shows up as "Preparing to ship", they're still stuck on the step before. I'm hoping for some quick movement through the steps tomorrow :)

For most of Europe, we don't get the "follow the phone" experience folks in the US get. Our phones typically stay in preparing to ship status until the day before delivery. This doesn't mean the devices are already in Europe, it's simply the way the systems works. I'm in Italy and every device I've ordered shows preparing to ship and then appears in the Netherlands the day before delivery. For me, Apple has never missed a promised delivery date. I'm in Rome.

That makes sense…I‘m also from Italy. So maybe they are waiting and try to ship both iPhone for delivery on the 20th. I think the will start today with preparing and ship it tomorrow. Please keep us updated.
