Start to Thinking that Apple wants to troll us. Its preparing to ship since almost a week. Tomorrow it should be Here and its STILL preparing-.-

That's because your shipping label was probably printed and put on the package about a week ago in China. Apple then bulk ships them to Europe because it's cheaper and hands them over to DHL/UPS 12-24 hrs before the delivery. Because DHL/UPS Express is really fast in Europe.

They don't show you the shipping info in advance so that you don't panic because you don't see any progress on the shipment for a week.

For reference I checked my mails: I got the shipping mail for my 6s at 6:34 pm and it was delivered 9 am the next day.

They will probably wait as long as they can with shipping them, I think once it's on it's way it'll be delivered as fast as humanly(?;)) possible.

The best thing is probably to get working with other stuff and try to forget that there’s a phone coming, otherwise I think it’ll be a long day..

This did not work out for me, too excited!

EDIT!
Sent now.

I'm from Spain. I've just called DHL to know if there was an order with my name and she asked me for my personal data and Apple has sen't my iPhone at 10:01 AM, coming from MILAN - Somaglia (Lodi) - ITALY. Call DHL to get your tracking number!

Shipped in NL through DHL Express. Does anyone now whether one could either change delivery address or request a time slot? And what happens if one is not at home, will it be brought to a DHL Service Point are will they perform another attempt next week?

BTW, can't find the reference # on DHL tracking yet.
