It hasn't been that bad for me - only between 37 and 38 hours.....
I often read, but never post except during iPhone release week. In reading, it is so different in urbans areas, where most of these posts come from and rural areas where I live. WE have no Apple Store and the only way to get the new phone is the UPS man. Today, he told me he had a few phones on his truck, but most people weren't home, so they are going to deliver on Monday...maybe. No UPS store or even few Fed Ex deliveries. And yet, my phone is going to be shipped September 23-30 even though I ordered on line at 3:17 AM on September 9th. No movement whatsoever since the 9th and the pitiful AT&T website tells me to believe the dates. What a horrible way to do business. Since the beginning, I got my new iPhone on release date. Never failed. Even in a tiny town of what used to be 1,500 people and after the floods in June, is probably only 1,000. Matters not really, but it's funny that it doesn't matter where or when you order, you're just a pawn in the game of what Apple decided to produce, even if they are wrong. So, I wait. I'll live with my 6S and could forever, but in the whole scope of things, it really makes no difference even if it's unfair. It's just the way it is.
That's a good question. I wonder what the average time is that an order sits at preparing to ship. A lot of us are pushing two days with that status. My CC charge is still pending.
Alot of us had 9/16 delivery but because of Taiwan weather and a error in lousville it got delayed and for switched to Saturday delivery
My Rose Gold iPhone 7 + 128GB has been Preparing for Shipment for over 24 hours, with no charges to my credit card,
Not in my Apple Profile yet, nothing when I track by Reference at UPS.
My original date said Delivers by 9/28-9/30. I didn't order until Monday around noon, so I was surprised when I got Preparing for Shipment on Thursday night. We're leaving town on Wednesday, so I hope I get it Monday or Tuesday.
I am happy for those getting PFS. But for the life of me I don't understand how I am still processing with a delivery window for the 21st-28th of September. I realize I chose the 7+ 256GB. But there are people with that model getting PFS. Come on lets Get the ball rolling.
I have a case prepped for this phone whenever it does show up.
But I'm seriously considering going caseless.
Opinions?

You can go to UPS and track by reference. The reference is usually the phone number you used for the order.
I have been careless with my 6+. I will be careless for my 7+.
I just hit 24 hours. Thinking Apple just moved a bunch to PFS to stop people from calling every 3 hours because their phone is still processing.
iPhone 7 Plus Jet Black 128GB AT&T with an original ship date of Oct 4-Oct 10, finally got the card charged so hopefully that means I'll be moving to Preparing for Shipment soon! That means all my other October folks should see some movement soon enough! Good luck to all! 
EDIT: I have moved onto Preparing for Shipment!!!

I pre ordered the exact same and nothing yet, still in processing... ugh
I ordered iPhone 7 Plus 128 GB Jet Black for AT&T at 12:10am PDT on Sep 9.
Estimated delivery date Sep 26-Oct 3.
Went to "Preparing for Shipment" about 24 hours ago. Finally got a pending transaction charge around the same time. Still no device in my Apple Support profile or UPS order associated with my phone number as reference number.
I hope I see some more movement soon, hopefully it's not "preparing for shipment" until Sep 26!
