I stand corrected!

Just got shipping information!

9/17 32GB Black

Took almost exactly 14 days to ship...not too bad except I could have gone to the apple store on the 21st since I had the day off...

Oh well!

Still waiting for my shipping info. Came off back order yesterday. I assume it'll come through today, but most likely tomorrow. Hopefully delivery by Monday! FedEx better have been flying that sucker over the weekend.

ordered mine 9/18 32g
Hopefully that means I'll get shipped soon.
 
Seeing that people are getting shipping info today, any hopes of just coming off BO on a Sunday?

Still back order for me, but I didn't order until 9/21..... :(

When did yours get processed? I ordered on the 20th, processed next day. Was yours a "preorder" or a buy? I'm thinking they may have lumped me in with all the orders on launch day so I may not even be a preorder. And I don't know how much that pushes me back...

Hope is just another 4 letter word. I am the 16th Sept customer, and I am still on BO.

I have been w/o a phone for more than 2 months, but seeing people who ordered after me have their tracking info already, I am losing my patience. I think I will cancel my order and go for Samsung GS3. I am not even psyched abt iPhone 5 now.

Well I believe we are next to receive our phones, hopefully (@ 16gb white). I see a lot of people on the 15th receiving I believe. Anyone care to comment on the progress of their 16GB WHITE? 16GB WHITE?

I apologize for that then, that's really insane though. Two of us (so far) ordered around 4PM on the 16th and haven't gone off yet, crazy.

Hey! Did you come off of BO yet? I am still on the B-O.

I did the exact same thing as you. Ordered over the phone on the 20th and processed on the morning of the 21st. I'm pretty sure it's considered a preorder. It would be amazing if we got off BO today but I'm expecting to get the phone in the first half of the week regardless (just a blind guess).
 
First post, been following this from the beginning. I just wanted to give some info in hopes that it will help like everyone else did.

Ordered on 9/14 around 12pm est
received t&c same day and sent back
"officially ordered email" on 9/16
Went to "0" backordered 9/29 afternoon
Received tracking and order status email 9/30 morning

It is being shipped UPS which I found strange as most have been FedEx

I ordered a 32 gb black and have a extp889981 order.

Thanks to everyone here keeping everyone posted on their status. It was more than ATT could ever have done. I hope everyone that is still backordered gets their phone soon.

I ordered my black 16gb Saturday the 15th at 2pm
Mine came off BO and shipped Friday. It says it will be delivered tomorrow via FedEx.
Not too bad of a wait. They told me 14-21 business days and this is well within that range.
The tracking says standard overnight delivery. I wonder why it was sent overnight delivery. Seems like it would be expensive. Maybe they're making up for late orders or something.
Oh we'll. can't wait

I ordered my phone as well on the 16th and got my shipping info yesterday so it's already shipped coming tomorrow so you will get yours this week since 14-21 days but most likely this week. I ordered on the 16th
 
Just a quick update, I ordered late in the afternoon 9/19 - still backordered as of 2 minutes ago :) hang in there all, eventually we'll have our phones.

You have every right to have your order shipped by now, definitely before me! I don't expect to have mine, just getting antsy. I'm not even in the 14-21 day wait yet. I was just wondering if they work the system on Sundays, or if I am wasting my time looking. But, I'm wasting my time anyway!

At this point, I don't think it's worth cancelling, but I can see how after 2 months of not having a phone that would be pretty frustrating. I bet you'll have your order shipped within a few days though, the 9/16's gotta be next in queue!
 
Ordered a black 64GB in-store on the 19th. Went off back-order Friday evening. Just got shipping information this afternoon. UPS shows a departure scan leaving Forth Worth today at 1:40 PM. Apparently they do ship on Sundays!
 
Came off BO on 28th between noon and 6pm, still no tracking info. Ordered 14th processed 16th via premier 32gb black. Hopefully I'm not stuck in shipping limbo

Was processed same day. It was a buy on release day.

Hopefully we will all ship sometime midweek. It seems that other than the unfortunate ones that ordered right at the beginning getting the shaft, most orders have shipped well before the quoted range.
