I think you only get a shipment email. I just happened to check the status (every 15 mins, lol) using the store app.

I am glad I'm not the only one here who checks every 15 minutes. Lol

Placed my order 9/20/13 at about 9:30 am. 16 GB space grey for AT&T. I ordered through apple.com. Mine still shows processing. Gave the 7-10 days until shipment with delivery for Oct 8 to Oct 11. Wish it would just ship already. Lol.

I woke up to an email from the Apple Store this AM.

Shipped: Delivers Oct 03, 2013

Status change on Apple.com order site.
I had received my order comfirmation email from Apple on 20 Sep at 00:05 PDT for a AT&T 64G Gold 5S.
My status just changed to Preparing for Shipment this evening and my credit card has been processed by Apple.
My order was originally listed as a "Ships in 7 to 10 business days".
Good luck to all on your orders.
Bob

Now I have not one, but two awesome itoys inbound! Sweet!

I paid On September 21, 2013 for 2pcs iPhone 5S factory unlocked and there is no date for shipment. And then on September 24, 2013 I paid for two another iphones for other address. Two of them was made for sales tax free addresses. And I still not received anything. But my friend from Chicago ordered on september 22 and receive it after 3 days. His order have the shipment status "Available to ship: October" as my orders. So apple first ship iphones to "non sales tax free" regions ?

My two order on the unlocked version finally shipped! It's going to be delivered by Oct. 3. I ordered within ten minutes after the Apple website went live, but other people had already gotten their iPhones, I'm so jealous.

Contract customers are getting preference. It sucks, but there it is.

On another note, I ordered mine 9/20 at around 8am PST. It's an unlocked 64GB Space Gray. When I ordered it said time to ship 7-10 days. Today I'm "in the window" of when it should ship so I definitely did not get an early shipment like most people here did. It looks like us unlocked customers are just sorta on the backburner priority-wise.

 

[BobWhite]

I don't think that you are "in the window" yet. I know my confirmation email specifically said "Available to ship: 7-10 business days" which would mean that the window would start in the middle of next week.

Well I should update that my order now says preparing for shipment!!!

 

[BobWhite]

That is great news. My order went to "preparing for shipment" last night and this morning I got my shipping email so you are getting close.

Is it worth it to buy AppleCare+ (or non plus version) for the iPhone 5s considering that I will have a case on it? Also, is it possible to buy the AppleCare+ after getting the device?

IMO yes, it's worth it. I got it mostly for the accidental damage coverage. However having 2 years to be able to call 1-800-MY-IPHONE and get an issue resolved is really nice as well.

AppleCare+ is worth every cent.

 

[GibMcFragger]

Nice! It'll ship fairly soon then. Mine shipped maybe 12hrs or so later.

I bought it for the calls too, then the extended warranty of course.
