Yeap. Ordered another iP5 on October 12 with expected delivery of Nov 13-19, but I got it on November 9. It was still 4 weeks though lol.

I ordered mine Tuesday Morning 11/13, right now I have a delivery window of 12/6 through 12/12. I hope it ships before then as well. Looking at my order it says “processing items”.

I got mine on Nov. 1, a week earlier than they said it would arrive. I was very happy

I got mine earlier than expected. My wifi said I would never have one but I got mine September 26th. It was actually due to arrive November 5th after I preordered late morning of September 14th.

You ordered it at apple store online too?

Dechter · Nov 14, 2012, 07:16 PM

I ordered from AT&T over the phone (no Apple store within 2.5 hours of me) and they quoted me 14-21 business days, which I took to mean 3-5 weeks. It shipped two weeks after I ordered it and arrived two days later, so I had it in hand less than 2.5 weeks after I called in.

My impression is that production is ramping up and despite multiple international launches, backorder times have decreased from 3-4 weeks to 2-3 weeks.

I ordered my iPhone online (Apple.ca) on October 18, early in the morning. It was processing until Monday and was shipped on Tuesday. I had an expected delivery date of November 20th and I woke up today and my iPhone is out for delivery already.

I'm ecstatic right now. Also, really glad I didn't just buy it from my carrier or at a store, and waited to get an unlocked one. Although, the wait was excruciating.

I helped one of my friends order theirs at the At&t store, we ordered it Nov. 2nd, got 1 the 8th, and the other 2 the 9th... That was pretty fast. My other friends I helped, They ordered their's in early October and didn't get it till the 30th or 31st. I got mine and another friends on launch day. ( Yes I have helped alot of people with their plans, and getting their iPhone 5's.)
