Where are iPhones shipping from?

[Sorry about the dangling preposition...]



I finally got the other people on my family plan to agree to switch carriers so I can get an iPhone!



For me, the best way to get one is through the Apple Online Store. (Right now, it's quoting shipping "within 24 hours".) My question for anyone who's recently ordered a phone through the online store is



Are the phones shipping from China or a distribution center in the US?



(The answer to this question will dictate whether or not I should pay extra for faster shipping. If it's coming from China, there's no need to pay extra as everything gets expedited on international shipments.)



Thanks.

    I know. I was about to reply to my own message that I ordered it Friday, it shipped from China, and arrived today. (Unfortunately, it's at my house and I'm at my client's office.)



    But, thanks for the response.
