How sure are you that they do back order stuff on weekends also?

Some people said theirs came off BO the past weekend. It's never heard of before that weekend but it happened to some people both on Saturday and Sunday (9/21 black and white 16gb)

----------

I pre-ordered my iPhone 5 16GB through vert inc. @ USD 615.00. Last week I got my iPhone 5 16GB.

When did you preorder?
 
So I got my shipping info and this will be my last update in this thread. Final summary for those who are looking:

1x 16gb Black ordered 9/21/2012. Came off BO on Monday 10/15 early afternoon, shipped the following day and arrived Wednesday, 10/17 at about 10:30am.

1x 16gb White ordered 9/21/2012. Came off BO on Wednesday 10/17 mid afternoon, shipped Thursday 10/18. Scheduled to arrive Friday 10/19.

At this point, it's out of apples hands and will be arriving by UPS next day air saver. While the wait was frustrating, both deliveries did occur within ATT's given time frame.

Good luck everyone!

Frequent lurker / First time poster here.

I ordered a Black iPhone 5 16GB on Tuesday, October 2nd at an AT&T store. I'm hoping for a miracle, but otherwise, I'm expecting it to arrive between the 19th and the 31st. I'm a rather patient person, but I won't be doing an AT&T order again.

Early Exit:

A week prior to today, I called Radio Shack (as others have successfully done), and they added me to a wait list. I was not expecting my order from AT&T until the last week of October.

Today I received a call from Radio Shack, letting me know the phone came in. I rushed to the AT&T store and canceled my order (after much failure trying to do it over the phone). After jumping the hurdles, I now have a 16GB Black iPhone 5.

So with that, I take my leave from this thread. If you can manage to track one down at a Radio Shack, take the opportunity.

Best of luck to everyone that continues waiting. The phone is beautiful and you'll surely love it.
 
Does anyone know if the UPS packages ship on Saturdays? My husbands was next day air out of TX.... Hoping mine is next day air too......however, I still wait.... I need a beer after this stress. ha.
 
INfuriated!!!

So i was just taking abit of time looking over at the verizon iphone 5 preorder thread...

and i noticed the funniest thing...

The iphone 5 black 32gb or 64 gb or even white, they have all already been shipped up until about october 15th!!!

this means that everyone who has ordered prior to october 15th already had their phone!. Not to meantion that someone who ordered their phone on the 16th already has shipping info. This is rediculoous! Firsat of all, att should not be shipping iphones slower than verizon. Second of all, 2 days???

i order my balck 32gb on october second and still on bo this is ridiculous! Im up to here with att. The idea of a preorder is to get it before people whuo don't. not to wait a month to get it. Never preordering again.
