Apple sent out shipment notifications and UPS tracking numbers (at 2:57AM PDT/5:57 EDT) for those who ordered their iPhone 5s online on September 20 just after midnight. Orders are expected to delivery (in our case anyways) by October 1 and have left directly from China.

Thanks everyone for the emails/tweets!
