Well I'll be damned. Been backordered since I completed my order at 6:16 AM CDT on the 14th.

1x32 GB white
1x32 GB black
Non-premier

1612 order group

No communication except email confirmation confirming 9/21 delivery.

Just got the CSS email and both phones off backordered finally. Hopefully it won't be long now!

----------



I feel like our 1612 day in the sun is finally here.
Not for me. :/ I learned my pre-order lesson. Don't have them port your numbers until after you receive the phone!
 
I suspect the latest script calls for denying any further perks to customers. I really don't feel they care at all at this point. They seem to be saying we've done all we can do, or are going to do. :(

I received mine today via FedEx. And, to my surprise, the delivery guy DID require a signature!

Lol yeah if you're standing there, they will get a signature... Duh,

On a side note... If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to witness it... Does it make a sound?

Some had commented previously that they didn't have to sign for the packages when handed to them...thus my comment.

Exact same scenario here! Same order group! Ordered at the same time also! No communication, just a "will arrive on 9/21" credit card charged, charge disappeared, and been stuck in pending ever since without an update. I had to call them to get a "by October 4th" I hate AT&T. I can't think of anything they do well anymore!!!!
 
Did anyone preorder, realized they weren't going to receive the phone on the 21st and manage to cancel their order with AT&T, then go to an Apple store or AT&T store and buy it? AND THEN receive another iPhone 5 (your original order) today? Even though your ordered was cancelled and there are no charges on your credit card?

Yes but the one I preordered shipped today have it tomorrow
 
Hey, guys. I recently been keeping up with the threat and after the hell I been through with AT&T preorder. I had canceled it and just wanted to keep you guys updated. So I got my iPhone 5 a few days later using the pickup option and picked it up today from 5th Avenue :apple: store. I took me 30 minutes to pickup, activate and setup process and before I knew it I was out and about again. :D I'm loving my 5 but I wanted to come back on the thread to see if anybody is still in backorder waiting it out
 
Preordered 8:15am pdt online on 9/14. Family plan with 4 lines, upgrading all 4 phones on 4 separate orders. A black 16gb arrived 9/21. The other 3 went off backorder last night, and another black 16gb shipped today to arrive tomorrow by 3pm.

Still no word on the white 16gb and the white 32gb. Still pissed as hell that people who ordered days later are getting their phones.
 
Chill. I think ogwald74 was referring to back order status. ogwald74 has been posting on this thread since 9/18.

My previous post was made minutes after getting off of the phone w/an AT&T csr....so I apologize if the post was misconstrued as anything other than anger only with AT&T.

Again, nothing against 'ogwald74' or anyone who ordered their phone after I did and have received it/shipping info, my problem is with AT&T!

Haha don't worry just ****in with you. But true story, ordered on the 14th at 9:45 PM CST. Went off backordered yesterday the 25th at around 2:00 pm. All 3 of my phones shipped between 3:00 and 6:00 pm today. Overnight for tomorrow.
You got me fella!
 
Here's my favorite response in the chat I'm currently in (ordered 9/14 at 6:38am CT and still on BO):

Joshua: Your dates are alot sooner than most people...fyi.
Joshua: I have some customers that ordered on the 17th they will not get their phone until deep in November.

This wouldn't be a problem if you could cancel and walk into a store and buy one they have available.

The fact that they don't let you cancel is a problem.

Lol. Joshua should put down the crack pipe when working.
 
What is appalling to me is that AT&T is now filling orders placed after 9/14 when lots of us who placed orders before the preorder cutoff on 9/14 are still stuck on backorder. I got an email that clearly said I would receive the iPhone on 9/21 subject to availability, and in the absence of that, orders would be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. AT&T clearly isn't honoring that promise.


Well, I just came off backorder a few minutes ago. Waiting for tracking info. B)

...lol yep. Still waiting it out. I'm going hate the phone by the time I get it.

----------

please please tell me you have a 32gb Black. I'm beginning to lose hope :(

Clearly there is no rhyme or reason to how they ship them. Just assume you're getting screwed! I bet there will be phones collecting dust on shelves before AT&T gets their s.hit together and realizes they screwed me over.
 
Fast

Still playing around with this thing. LTE here, is super-nice!!!

Look!!

You got me fella!

no worries. I feel you. Just know, it'll be greater later. (maybe not greater, but once you get it, all this anxiety will be a faint memory :) )

There are tons of knock-off SIM removal tools for sale on eBay cheap.

John L.

Thanks. I still have a couple of old ones. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Woulda been nice for Apple to toss in an adapter (as a cheap show of appreciation). :rolleyes:

Time is flying hah or maybe I am hahah:D

Only verbally and I had to call and ask ... Preordered 9/14 6am cst still waiting. Someone I know was in the same situation and got his yesterday although he ordered 5 hours after me and in the store. Said his was stuck in processing and when he got home it was waiting for him. I'm not so lucky.
 
Extp99892....

Just saw the order shipped via FedEx.
Sorry EXTP889982...
ETA to'ow 3pm
No email or Text from AT&T
 
Back order just went to zero! Hopefully, I'll get tracking information. iPhone 5 64GB Black.

Getting really jealous of my wife's 64GB white order through the Apple Store app.
 
Just received my tracking number via the order status page; no other communication from AT&T.

Will be delivered tomorrow via FedEx.

I ordered 9/14 at approx. 1pm PT over the phone. Went off backorder yesterday at approx. 4:30pm.

Good luck to everyone still waiting!
