Has anybody's shipment process changed since this;

Incheon, Korea, Republic of 10/07/2013 11:34 P.M. Departure Scan
Incheon, Korea, Republic of 10/04/2013 7:46 P.M. Arrival Scan
ZhengZhou, China 10/04/2013 4:45 P.M. Departure Scan
ZhengZhou, China 10/03/2013 9:40 P.M. Arrival Scan
10/03/2013 9:00 P.M. Departure Scan
10/03/2013 1:40 P.M. Origin Scan
China 10/03/2013 9:28 A.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS

:confused:
That's interesting. You and I have *exactly* the same date/time stamps after the origin scan, but you show that the shipment has finally left ROK, but mine still says it's there. I wonder if they split the shipments in Incheon? I was under the impression that they stayed pretty much together until Kentucky.

One of the ones I ordered is arriving tomorrow, and it was the second one I ordered. Identical gray 32gb phones.
 
?

Thanks to the info from this forum, I called Apple and got a free leather case for the wifes iPhone 5's!:) Thanks for the heads up on that one guys! Also, does anyone know when the next flight out of Korea is?

Is everyone just saying it is unfair that people that ordered after us are getting their phones before we receive ours?

How do you start the conversation lol? ...coach us ;)

I've replied a couple times here that I am not sure why people are complaining yet...but now I get it.... Seeing people get their phones before me is just messed up. Especially stores getting them daily ( well, some )
Ordered my 12 hrs after launch.
 
Mine is still in korea waiting to get here on the tenth. Found one at best buy before though so picked it up there. I got it and its broken. My LUCK. annoyed.

Like usual, I think a big part of it has to do with who you talk to. I talked to a super nice guy and just straight out told him that I have been paying attention to an online forum where a bunch of guys have been stating that Apple has given them a complimentary case if they came up late on the shipping promise. The guy said he hadn't heard of that but that it was my lucky day and asked what color I wanted. Should be here in two days. The squeaky wheel gets the grease right?
 
The estimate was already 10 working days even though I had to be early since the Store itself was still down.

On the ground in Louisville, one more flight to RDU and a truck drive to the front door!
 
Damn I can't believe some of you are still waiting to receive your iPhone 5s's! I was lucky enough to get mine 2 days after it launched, at an Apple store. Must suck to still be phone-less. I don't know what I would be doing without a phone for so long... probably socializing ;)

Good for you. Don't come here bragging that you got your phone 2days after launch. I don't think anyone here is phone less. Sometimes people would rather just wait then do the run around trying to find a phone.
 
I couldn't justify asking for a free case because the delivery estimate took me out to Oct 11.

I still received my phone on Oct 4.

I was pleased.

Now if your delivery dates slip, go for it.

If I wanted to brag I would, but I'm not bragging. I'm merely sharing my experience. I was phone-less for about a week in hopes of getting it on launch day. When that didn't happen I was sure I was going to be waiting for it for a long time. I did the run around on launch day hoping I could find a retailer that had it, with no luck. After that I just kept checking online. Luckily my Apple store stocked them 2 days after early in the morning.

Two things -- hey guys, chill we're all friends. We're getting iPhones. It's not that serious.

Also my iPhone just landed in Louisville Kentucky and I can't wait to get it. Yay Tuesday delivery :)

64GB GOLD AT&T -- day 1 OG iPhone user.

Misinterpretations never end in friendships. It was never my intention to appear as though I was putting you guys down for not having your iPhone's. I just pictured myself not having my 5s right now and figured it must really be frustrating to not have that new piece of technology in your hands already being that it's been out for a couple of weeks. Good luck to all of you and I hope you receive your phones quickly.
 
Whelp ladies and gentlemen, it is time to bid you adieu. It's been a heroing 17 day excursion from zhengzhou to Vacaville California. My phone arrived today (October 7th) at 4:53 pm. Sadly I was at work but rushed home when I received notification from my mother that my long awaited phone had arrived. On my lunch break a raced home to quickly activate the phone and eat some chicken dinner as well.

The phone is BEAUTIFUL. The gold was the right and only choice for me. I am in love with Touch ID and haven't really acquainted myself with the rest of the features as of yet due to me being at work all day. I am so intensely happy to have a reliable working phone that I can also be proud to flash in public. I got a lot of envious looks from customers and even coworkers. I am a very happy lady.

It's been nice stalking phones with all of you. Keep in mind I do work at best buy, if you have any mobile related questions PLEASE email me or PM me. I pride myself in being somewhat of a know it all.

For my Bay Area people, I work at Beat Buy mobile In the Solano County area (won't say which, message me if you'd like). If you're ever in town, stop by!


Til next time <3

Im in the exact same situation as you are... With the same times and everything. Im starting to think the plane crashed into the ocean... Lol

Just got mine today. Ordered as soon as I can. Email receipt 12:09... I think it boils down to right place right time. Since there's a lot of places, there's a lot of times too. So it may seem a lot of people are getting their phones before us, even if they ordered after us. Also it depend on the color phone we wanted.

Also, how would it seem, if you couldn't walk into an Apple Store and buy a phone, for three months. While all the online orders are taken care of. I see it as, countries and devisions. Each get some, and are fulfilled in order, respective to their areas, but not over all.
