I can confirm that Apple.com US orders up to the 25th of September for the Space Gray are now "Preparing for Shipment"
Yea, between 1 and 2 pm EST my order (placed on the 22, 5s grey) went to preparing for shipping.... Probably the gold ones will still have to wait... -_-
Sprint - White - 64mb
Ordered Sept 26th 8:00AM
Checked around 4pm today, Oct 4th, and it changed to "Preparing for Shipment"
Great to see the white started moving, I hope that will be the case with all not just because it's the Sprint model. I ordered mine a day after you and it's still processing.

In case anyone is still checking this thread. I ordered an AT&T 5s, 64GB, Gold, within the first hour they were on sale. My confirmation from apple came at 2:00 AM MDT. The order status page has said Processing Order and Available to Ship October ever since until yesterday. Then it changed to Preparing for Shipment but still said available to ship October. This morning I got the shipping email with tracking number. It is scheduled to be delivered on October 9 by the end of the day.
From what I've read it seems like ALL of our phones are not only coming thru the same channel but are probably at the same port. Its like almost everyone's status changed from preparing to shipped at the same time.
My 32g gold AT&T is stuck in Korea also.. I have a delivery date of Monday, and I'm hoping that's true cause Monday works perfect for me
I see some people who ordered gold are getting "preparing for shipment" now..
At what times did you order?
I ordered my T-Mobile(Unlocked) 64GB Gold at 2:00 AM on the 20th and it is still "processing items"..
Probably you will get it before Monday if they continue shipping over the weekend.
