it's crazy how people panick over a freaking cell phone. Imagine if you had a real problem in life. LOL

I guess it's the feeling of entitlement after ordering in first few minutes of pre-ordering. None likes to pay for something that may show up someday eventually. It's uncertainty and anxiety in short first world problem!! LOL!

3:03 am with a 17th-24th date? That does not sound right....I finished up at 12:20am and got the 17th-24th.

Any Australian orders seeing improvements?? We had 2 minutes of 3 Nov, then direct to 4-5 weeks. Pretty dirty with Apple right now. I can bet your bottom dollar when they say in store on launch day in Aus, that will be the first 10 or so in the line.
 
Can confirm. Wife’s Verizon 64GB Silver was sitting at Nov 10-17 all day and I just checked and it’s now Nov 3rd. My SG 64gb Verizon was always set for the 3rd so I was bummed we were getting them at the same time, looks like that’s changed!

Assuming it’s UPS delivering right? I had my primary shipping address as my office in my profile but they set it to ship to my home instead and I don’t get home until the 5th. Initially slated for Nov 10-17 and now it’s for Nov 3. Will they just keep trying or send it back to Apple? Lol

Referring to problems as 1st world vs 3rd world is pointless. It’s all relative to what your standard of living is. A problem is as valid as any problem regardless of which ‘world’ you’re in. And in this forum about Apple products everyone is part of the more advantaged world. Even if the country you’re in has impoverished people you’re obviously not one of them.
 
I'm wondering if there was some serious scalper action. Maybe more than most years because the scalpers have gotten smarter and for this phone there was a lot of buzz that it would be low supply. It seems though that Apple actually had its supply in very good order. Scalpers might be disappointed if the word gets out that supply is going to be decent.

Scalpers deserve to be disappointed.
 
Well this is a kick in the teeth.
My original order delivery estimate of Nov 10-17 is now Nov 17-24.
1st world problems.

I try to access the Apple Store at 12:01 a.m. thru the website and the apple store app and it was not available after some minutes. Apple open first the store to people located on the USA because I see that some have no issues accesing exactly at the open time.

Even I can't access the Apple Store for some minutes I have a Nov 17 - Nov 24 order date.

Must be nice. I started at 11:59pm (PST). After 8 minutes of feverishly refreshing the app I still only had "We've got something special in store for you" on the screen. Once the store loaded I was unable to check out. Clicking the link to finish my pre configured order resulted in an " Error occurred trying to fulfill your request" popup.

Ultimately it required another 5 or so minutes of refreshing and clicking the link for the order to process and give a Nov 17 - 24 delivery window.
Same here. So irritating.

Agreed! Really annoying hearing the words "first world" every few posts. Even more annoying is the repeated use of the word "entitlement." Grab a thesaurus people, there are lots of alternative words to harass your fellow macrumors readers.

I wonder if the shipping times aren’t updated due to the silver color being harder to produce... just a guess.

Sounds right. Almost the same. 3:06 am, with the same dates. :/

What kills me, it said 2-3 weeks, but seems longer. Someone pointed out the referenced date starts from release date, not when I ordered it. But what do I know.
