Apple has started shipping iPhone 3G S today to customers who pre-ordered for the device last week. Customers have started receiving shipping notification and Anna our new Associate writer is one of the lucky recipients of the notification.

The mail, however does not say anything about the expected arrival date. The devices are coming all the way from Shenzhen, China where the iPhone is manufactured by Foxconn Electronics. Going by what Apple promised, the devices would be delivered on June 19, the day the iPhone goes on sale nationwide. 

If you have not pre-ordered and are planning to buy the iPhone, you better do that right away if you are not very comfortable with standing in a long queue. Apple says that customers who pre-order today would still get the device delivered to them on Friday. 

We are now only three days away from the release date of the iPhone OS 3.0 and five days away for the grand launch of the much awaited iPhone 3G S.
