I orderd my blk 16gb iphone 5 from att on 9/21/12
Its still on back order and the guy told me that it would ship between
october 11-22 so just be patient you guys
 
Friday was the 14th business day for me. The 16GB's are picking up though so I'm hoping to come off BO by Thursday or Friday. *fingers crossed*. I already received by silicon case. My otterbox defender should be here by mid next week. Just need the phone AT&T!!!!

I ordered mine on the 21st like at 8:30am, it got out of BO, yesterday. You should keep checking.

In most cases that's what happens. But some people have been off backorder with no shipping info for a few days or more occasionally. Unfortunately it isn't an exact science. But I would expect it to ship 1-2 business days later.

Hopefully it does. The wait has been killing me.

What do you mean by the 16 GB's are picking up though?
 
I just checked again, and its still on bo. I can guarantee that if you ordered 9/21/12 or earlier from att premier then you should see it being shipped out tomorrow. I just finished talking to a att technical representative. :D
 
What can I expect?

I ordered the black 16gb at an at&t store on sept 24 around 2:30 p.m since then this is the first time i checked my order status and i have a few questions.

Am I currently on back order?
if yes how can i check if im on back order ?
Also I ****** hate this waiting a month for a phone BS.
I could have just walked into the store yesterday and got it since they had stock. Also apple tim cook is a straight dumbass for letting this happen, wish R.i.p Steve jobs was still here 8[...

It has to be in this website, not the one that the email gives you.

I know! haha, I've been here since I order mine, If it wasn't for these guys, I would've been REALLY desperate, but now I'm just desperate. haha
:D

well you got it better then me youll prob get it by this week, ill be lucky if i get off backorder by this week =p
 
how long did it take to get off BO?
If you go to the previous page, you'll find the comment that you quoted me on:
Ordered a white 32GB on October 7th (last Sunday), came off backorder on October 12th (Friday). No email yet, but I'm expecting it to ship tomorrow (Monday) :D

So it looks like ordering a white 32GB only takes about 4-5 business days to come off backorder (for anyone that's debating on whether the wait is too long) :)
What???? NO way..
So if you ordered October 11th, like your PM says, then I'd expect it to come off backorder this Wednesday or Thursday, assuming it's a white 32GB. I can't speak for any other models. Blacks seem more popular, so it'll take longer I'd imagine. 16GBs are still super backordered it seems too.

Ah yeah, i forgot I read that. I was just extrememly surprised to be honest.
 
Seems like white is being fulfilled much faster than black from this thread. Did the email you received when you first ordered quote you 14-21 days like it did most of us or did it say 4-7 days?

Not sure who this is directed toward, but I was quoted 14-21 days. Took 5 (to come off backorder) :)
 
Still BO. Sigh. I feel like I'm one of the only ones left on here that ordered pre-21st....

Don't feel bad. I'm still in the same boat as you are :( Sigh... I preordered two 16 gb white on the 19th and 20th respectively... But it seems like at&t was working yesterday and today so we might get it before this coming week ends.
 
Finally went off back order thru last night just got the tracking- delivery Tuesday. There is hope appears they are picking up speed. WHT 16 !!:)
