Lurker, but wanted to provide a data point. Can't get to Google Docs at work, so can't update spreadsheet, but:
AT&T Premier
6+ gold 64GB
I'm in Virginia
Ordered from AT&T site ~3:15am EDT 9/12, order confirmation email not received until 4:25 AM EDT
Initial web page order confirmation had blank dates for expected shipping/delivery
Order confirmation email said 14-21 business days to ship
Order status page showed:
11/9 - 11/22 (same as new orders showed at the time, so bogus info) for a while, changed to 10/16-10/27 then changed again to 10/2 - 10/16 last week (on 9/17 maybe?) and stayed that way. Since at least Friday (when I started paying attention to the words) it had said "Preparing for shipment"
Got text and email Sunday 9/21 4:05p EDT that it had shipped, FedEx tracking shows it was received in DFW at 1:31p local time, hasn't moved as of Monday midday, showing expected delivery by Tuesday evening 9/23/14.
Looks like they had a problem with those of us who ordered in the first hour and used our order confirmation times (4:25am EDT for me) instead of when we actually ordered to determine our place in line. Would have been nice to get it on Friday, but I'll take Tuesday.
If AT&T wasn't offering the guaranteed $200 trade-in on a working 4S, I'd have ordered from Apple, and I will next time too. But with a small chip on the bottom edge of my otherwise-undamaged and working phone, that's about $75 that AT&T is going to "pay" me for waiting Friday-until-Tuesday (assuming I could have gotten in through the Apple Store app for Friday delivery)
