is there any reason why they go from China to Kentucky, is this a UPS thing or an Apple thing? I'm in Canada and my shipment is also in Kentucky.
Yes, Louisville Kentucky is the home of the UPS Worldport (HUB) the largest automated package handling system in the world. It is a very popular place for most UPS Air packages to change planes in the overnight hours and reach the most locations.

Not all packages will pass through Louisville but a very large percentage of UPS Air freight swings by for a few hours.

Still says Preparing for Shipping, Delivery tomorrow on the Apple store. Tried the UPS tracking with my phone number to no avail. Let's hope it's just that Apple isn't getting the tracking data due to some connection glitch - and that my new SE will indeed arrive at my door tomorrow.

No shipping information so far - Dortmund Germany. :(
(Pre-) Ordered directly on Friday. Meanwhile I think that I will not have the iPhone in my hands tomorrow.

Mine is also in Kentucky now. Glad all that info got sorted out.

Got a bit excited at Apple saying my phone will arrive tomorrow (thinking it meant Thursday), before realizing it's past midnight, and that still means Friday. ;-) Apple still says preparing to ship as well, but I'm feeling pretty confident about this.
 
The preorders should be shipped later today.

I also have delivery scheduled for tomorrow(Finland) so i will also update once i get an update.
Also scheduled for tomorrow in Finland. Earlier this week I received a message from Apple and text from DHL the day before my case was delivered. Have not yet received these notifications today about my phone but hopefully soon.

😭 Still no shipment information received. Hopefully the Apple order page will prove to be right and it will arrive at my place tomorrow.
 
Finally showing as shipped on the Apple website! And with who....? TNT Express!! (Australia)

Ahhhh, not here in Central Europe. Well, the day is still long.
Nevertheless I would be grateful for further information, otherwise Apples tracking system makes no sense...

I am not usually like this, but I urgently need a new phone. My current iPhone (SE) is completely death. Since 2 weeks I can't use it without connecting it to a power supply, because the battery can't hold the charge anymore... Apple's timing for the new SE couldn't be better (but now it really should come...).

UK Shipping update, have had an email from DPD who have confirmed that they are delivering it tomorrow and provided tracking information. :)
 
Currys/pcworld order no update, so yesterday night was still showing on product page delivery on release day , just checked now and out of stock I don't think I will getting mine tomorrow .
 
Got the DPD tracking number and can see from DPD app that they are expecting the parcel. (UK order)

Any idea if contactless delivery is available? I suppose we need to sign, right?

Ugh, is it definite on the signature? Nobody is going to be home tomorrow. We both have to work.
 
Great! Just checked (for the 100th time 😅) the orders page in the Apple store app: now it progressed to shipped!!🚀
Link to DHL page, it says that the package is being collected in Lodi, Milan (delivery to Rome).
Interesting to see how SEs across Europe were spread over most EU Countries before final delivery, while US orders come directly from Shenzen.
In Italy there is a warehouse near Milan, in Lodi, called Flextronics, which is the usual warehouse from where Apple products are shipped (a lightning adapter was shipped from there a week ago).
