It's completely normal for the status to remain in Processing until the very moment it is being Prepared to Ship. At that point your payment will be charged and soon after it will be shipped and Apple will send you an email with tracking information. The only time to be concerned is if the date range is missed, which is usually not something which happens. Trust me, Apple wants your order to ship. They don't get paid until it does.
