I placed an order with Apple.com on 20th for the iPhone 5s.
I now have the model and colour I wanted to get from Carphonewarehouse.

when are they going to deliver?
 
In a similar situation. Ordered two gold phones unlocked but ended buying a space grey one in the store. Will just ebay it.
 
Would love to get my hands on a gold 32gb, qued up three times at arndale in manchester but with no luck! Even today, but they only had 10-15 space greys
 
I tried to cancel my order during 'Preparing for Dispatch:' for the Space Grey and wasn't able to. A Space Grey 32GB is on it's way via UPS from China 5 days earlier than Apple estimated.

I will list it for 'collection only' on eBay face value since I had to buy myself a contract-locked version instead of waiting.

Gold iPhone 5s still reads "Processing Items:"

i dont understand why you didnt just sell it aftermarket and make more money lol

Space grey models are all over eBay.
Initially bought two to pick the one i'd like. A gold iPhone 5s on the way and will go for the aftermarket, now that i've settled with space grey.
