1-3 biz days + expedited shipping!

[drew.bowser]

Also ordered gold, 16 gb.

Mine said 1-3 days on the first few pages but at "Thank You we are processing your order" page it says

"Shipment 1 Available to ship: 7- 10 business days Delivers: Oct 8 - Oct 11 by Standard Shipping "

Which doesn't make sense. 7 business days is the 1st of October, no where near 8-11...

I hope this is some sort of Typo.

It must have slipped, I guess it did make all the difference ordering from the App. When I finished my order I checked the website and it had JUST come up. I was doing the whole cmd+r deal too.

Well. I couldn't have done it faster. On PC, I was refreshing the page and at about 12:06 it changed from the "we'll be back" to the actual order page. All I did was choose gold and click next and next and next. I didn't even have to enter anything as apple has all my info already. After whatever few mins (about 3 minutes) it took to get to the end it changed the date. I wonder how many gold iphones apple actually had ready to ship... It can't be much.

After having stood in line, starting from the first iphone, I'm begining to think they do this crap on on purpose for some sort of marketing reason. You'd think they learn the ropes by now and can analyze what the demand for these things is and make enough to meet it. If you aren't going to be ready to meet the demand Sept 20 then announce the date you will be able to and release it then...sheesh.

Was there the option for in-store pickup?

Nope, says it wasn't available for 5s. Lesson learned: live chat reps are useless.

As soon as I get the gold iPhone card I will cancel mine. 1-3 business days.

5C didn't have store pickup, it was highly probable the 5S wouldn't either.

I agree, its stupid. its saying that ALL gold iphones are shipping in 7-10 days now.

Just called Apple (30 minute wait) and they changed it for me. Said it moved from 30th at the earliest to 27th at the earliest.

I didnt even notice different shipping options.. anyone know if it can be changed after you ordered?

I was able to get it changed. Called cust service right after I got the confirmation email and noticed "standard shipping." He had no problem switching it to "2 business days" and it updated on the order status page very quickly. Just call or chat and they should be able to upgrade it. I'd do it soon though in case yours ships out tomorrow with standard.
