This thread is for people who's delivery estimates are "October".
 
I'm "october" ....It seems like light years away ....Who knows, it can be Oct 31st ...:(
 
I think everyone is October if you order from Apple.

I went into the Verizon store today to order mine, but they told me an EST of 11/11, and I peaced out.
 
oct 7-10 group, still processing....

they shipped my case though...ill be lucky enough to sport that around while my 5s is in transit.
 
I'm in the "October" (with no date) group as well. :(

I hope it's before mid-October that we see our phones delivered. We gotta believe!
 
I suppose I'll weigh in. I ordered two 16 GB AT&T: one silver, one gray. I ordered at about 11:30pm EST on 9/20. When I first got on the website it estimated 7-10 days, but by the time we chose the ones we wanted it slipped to October. Both are still "Processing Items > Available to ship: October"

Edit: I forgot to mention that it was on Apple.com

"October" doesn't tell you much, in fact, reading some of the threads, we may not see the phone until mid-November. I just need to see a projected shipment date to keep me satisfied. This "October" statement leads me to believe that Apple has no clue when they'll be shipping.
 
I'm just hoping to get them by the end of October. I have my Gazelle offer locked in until the 31st for our 4Ss.
 
Ordered this morning with the "October" delivery. Going to keep trying to grab one in store.
 
Ordered today (24/9) through the Apple online store ... 'October delivery' is what I got for an iPhone 5S 64GB t-mobile unlocked space grey model ....
 
I ordered a 16GB Gold Verizon on Saturday afternoon from Apple. It seems like Apple would prefer to be cautious with their estimates and deliver early rather than late. So I dont really foresee them pushing the deliveries into November. My prediction is early Oct for Friday orders, mid Oct for Saturday/Sunday orders and late Oct for after that. But that's all my guess.
 
Just want everyone to know that I am October as well and my confirmation email came at 3:54 AM EST.

So even if you ordered within the first hour you are still in this group.

I really hope that that's not the case ...actually it would sound more logical to me that Apple prioritizes orders on their own site and stores rather than Bestbuy's, Target's or even carriers having the phones first ......
 
Bought my 32gb gray 5s on the AT&T site @ 5pm on 9/20. Initially said it would be shipped 10/1 to 10/10. Just got email today saying that it shipped and will be here on this Thursday 9/26.
Seems they are either getting them out a little early or I'm in luck
 
Got tired of "processing" cancelled via Apple website and upgrade avail in about 5 min. Went to walmart and picked up 16gb space grey, too easy really.
 
Aargh! I ordered an iPhone 5S 32GB Gold T-Mobile Contract Free. Count me in.."Available to ship: October" as well. :mad:
 
The main reason I ordered the space grey 5s is because my crappy iPhone 5 is scuffed from the day 1 and i never liked the slate color...

But now I have IOS 7
and now the dock shipped
and now the iPhone 5s is still not shipped

I think I'm gonna cancel my order
 
Ordered from tmobile Monday after deciding to take by my 64gb silver. Ordered a 64gb gold. October is when im told it will be available..but i have to take this phone back next thursday...:eek:
