Thanks for the update atwater :) My guess is that the phones already are in Europe (nederlands) sinces there is too short time for Apple to ship out of China tommorrow with delivery 3. Hate that we can’t track it yet, people in US has been tracking their phone for 1-2 days.

Phones ARE in The Netherlands. Some people received a confirmation that the delivery service received the iPhones but can't ship them because it's not the 3rd yet..

For us closer to China ie Singapore we have waiting times from the 13th of this month onwards. So long!!

One thing I wonder is why those who order from Apple Direct and sim free have to wait longer than those who go via their local operator?

Strikes are finished and they didn't affected any shipment.
Our iPhone are already in Milan, so they will be shipped tomorrow afternoon-evening. Just like they did with leather and silicon cases.

Oslo here, and I have the same status as you. But since Apple is sending with DHL in Europe it won't be sent before tomorrow afternoon. So you will get it on Friday :)

Oslo here as well. Got a case yesterday, and I imagine the phone will take the same route.

Ship tomorrow-> COP during the night -> OSL in the morning just in time for the drivers to get it loaded on their cars.

Wow that's even more frustrating to hear that most of you guys get your new iPhones tomorrow! For me my delivery date of 20 - 27 November hasn't been changed since I ordered it at 9:07....

Ordered mine as soon as the site went live. It still says
'Delivers 3 Nov by Standard Shipping'

But it is still stuck on 'Preparing for delivery' is this normal?

Norway here, 64GB space grey, delivery on 3.nov. But has been preparing for shipment since friday/saturday.

Where in Norway are you other guys from?

Oslo here ☝
My recent, on launchday, ordered Apple electronic products came directly from China .
My delivery dates are 13.-20.11. I expect some movement next week!

I have a hard time believing it until I’ll see the pictures tomorrow. Then make a YouTube video and go viral.

I have a feeling tomorrow your delivery will be ‘delayed and rescheduled’ to Friday November 3.

Was your status at the Apple site already updated to Shipped, or where did you order this?
Hmmm.. no pictures or any other messages have been posted from that user :) Maybe just a troll.

I'm surprised there are such big differences across EU countries with regards to shipping time and how long it took for the initial stock to sell out. You'd think it would be roughly the same, as once it's in the EU it's all in the same customs area anyway! (i.e. not including CH or Norway)

I wonder how they allocate phones to Switzerland or Norway or wherever.

Also I guess that guy was trolling since he hasn't posted a picture in the past 7 hours since its supposed delivery. Probably it was a tracking number for his phone case. Here's expecting a photo of it Friday morning saying "Hey guys I had so much fun setting it up I completely forgot to post a pic!!"
