7-10 business days (October 7 - 11 Delivery) group

I ordered mine before the clock rolled over to 12:01 PDT. Which should have meant 1-3 day shipping, but because I'm in Canada and Apple apparently doesn't like Canada anymore, I got 7-10 day.

The UK (and the rest of Europe, and Australia) have also fallen out of favour with Apple, as we all started with 7-10 days. I ordered from the UK store via the App at midnight and got my email confirmation at 00:01, but still 7-10 days...

That begs the question what happens between 4-6 days? Are Apple and Foxconn having a three-day post-launch party?
 
Maybe they'll let a few of the 7-10 day phones slip out in 4-6 to make people happy :p
 
October 1-7 is National Day week holiday! If our phones are available to ship on Friday, maybe they'll get out of there before national day starts lol. Apparently nobody works during that week :/

I guess that could explain why my order says estimated delivery between October 7-10 when I ordered on the 20th and it says dispatches in 7-10 days.

I guess Apple doesn't like a lot of other countries too since it still doesn't sell the 5S and 5C in them yet.

Heck we don't even have an Apple store in Ireland (where Apple's European HQ is based)

The legal holiday for National Day is currently 3 days in mainland China, 2 days in Macau and 1 day in Hong Kong. In mainland, the 3-day is usually connected with the weekends ahead and after, hence people can enjoy a 7-day holiday from Oct. 1st to 7th, which is the well-known “Golden Week”. This is the longest public holiday in China besides the Spring Festival holiday. Falling in the autumn generally with clear weather and comfortable temperature, the holiday is a popular period for travel.

Damn... This means our phones will be shipped by 2nd October.

Apple care can be purchased at anytime while the phone is still under warranty.

Not AppleCare+. If you don't order it with the phone, you have 30 days and you have to present the phone at an Apple Store for inspection to make sure it still qualifies for coverage (thanks to the damage coverage option).
 
Still holding out hope someones 7-10 day moves to Preparing to ship.

I wouldn't worry about the holidays over there, they work through it from what I have read.

I hear mixed things about it, hoping they work through it but I also understand if they don't.

Im checking up on my status all the time, my authorization charges were returned to my card and I havent been charged the full amount for the phone yet. Once that happens Im guessing itll be prepped for shipping.

I've been charged but it still says processing order.
 
Past iPhone, iMac, etc. ordering tells me that once the "Cancel Items" button disappears then you're a day or two away from shipping.
 
so glad i was able to cancel my order last night and score a 32GB silver at&t from the apple in store pick up...Oct 7th seems so far away

How were you able to do that so quickly? I was told by an Apple rep on the phone that if I canceled my order, my upgrade wouldn't come back to me for 24-48 hours.

Now that's not right. Ireland has to have an Apple Store. If it doesn't, that's a real injustice.

By time I make it to Dublin, there has to be an Apple Store...
