My current shipping window is 11/27-12/4. But I'm giving them until tomorrow to reinstate my previous shipping window before I break out the pitchforks.
Haha. Dude. It’s October 29th. That user posted their ship dates as October 2nd to October 10th.
Conversely mine are also November 2nd - 10th. I was purely trollin’.
HAHAHA I'm shaking my head at myself, I read it as you were saying that he was going to get it in 27 days. My bad
whatever we can do to make the days/time pass while we all wait until next friday 
...thats funny stuff

My original shipping window on the order they cancelled was 11/2-10. AT&T e-Comm quoted me and noted my account for 11/3 delivery on my new order. They said give them 24-48 hours.
Yeah I'm not relying on what web chat reps say anymore. They don't know anything substantial.
i ordered at 2:32 CST, still have an 11/3 delivery listed so fingers crossed that stays. I’m still in progress and see the cancel button there
I ordered Friday afternoon (silver, 64gb) and my shipping window is 11/2-11/10. Today the status changed from In progress to Preparing to ship.
I find this shipping window confusing. If I won't get it by the 3rd, why not make the window 11/4-11/10? Weird to have that overlap.

Ordered 64GB SG, submitted at 3:04:02 a.m. ET through an upgrade option from the 6 Plus. Delivery is on 11/3. Currently at Preparing to Ship. *6737# says back ordered, so taking the advice of others and reading it as a good sign. I am also one of the few who did not have to enter payment info. Called in today to verify everything. CSR verbally confirmed my 11/3 delivery and said the taxes charge is billed to me. Will only be billed for taxes (no down payments and no upgrade fees).
Hoping Wednesday sees some movement for all the Nov. 3 delivery dates. UPS tracking through Apple orders are starting to pop up based on other threads' info with many sitting in China. Makes sense AT&T simply does it differently.
Aside to pass the time:
Friend is switching from T-Mobile to a friend's AT&T family plan to save money. His new bill will be ~$50 a month for the 64GB phone and line of service, order placed today. T-Mobile individual was $80 alone for the ONLY individual plan they have and their required deposit is insane. T-Mobile in store employee said even if he had absolutely perfect credit, they'd still require ~65% deposit to upgrade to the new X. After comparing the T-Mobile vs AT&T experience, I'm confused as to why anyone would elect to use T-Mobile unless their area just absolutely requires it. T-Mobile's business model makes no sense considering the iPhone gained success by letting you pay through your phone bill. They will lose a customer in December as soon as his arrives from AT&T and he turns it on. No telling how many they lose each launch year either.

Even a few days after first preorders were taken and 5-6 weeks was the standardized shipping window, the dates have come back into about a 3-4 week window.
Surely a product of production issues being taken care of.
Just yesterday AT&T was listing Dec.4-18 as the delivery range. Good news for all.
Note: this is for the 64gb. 256gb is still 5-6 weeks.

My Silver 256GB preordered at 5:30am EST just changed to preparing to ship! Hopefully the newer Intel modem gets better signal on the X compared to my 7 Plus. Couldn't wait for the sim-free version.
Hope mine changes soon! Silver 256GB pre ordered at 3:17am EST... still in progress with ETA of NOV 3.
What time did you order and when did it change? I'm hoping when I wake up tomorrow mine will have movement..
Just now? I'm going to call ATT at 7AM EST to see why my 3:17AM EST order still is on in progress, making me nervous.. well not really just want my phone like everyone else lol
256 Silver Preordered at 3:51 AM EST moved to preparing to ship status at around 2 AM CST. Delivers by Nov 3rd.
Glad to be on the same page as most now.
